JIMMY CARTER
"The Goldstone committee examined closely the cause of deaths of the 1,387 Palestinians who perished, and the degree of damage to the various areas. The conclusion was that the civilian areas were targeted and the devastation was deliberate. Again, the criticism of Israel in the Goldstone report is justified." - Nov 5, 2009, New York Times

ISRAEL CHARNY
"I have the strongest criticism of the way in which justice Goldstone has been treated by the Israeli government and by the Israeli culture. I think the treatment is unfair. It is insulting." - Jan 27, 2010, Crosstalk

GIDEON LEVY
"Israel should thank Judge Richard Goldstone and his commission's important report. After subjecting him to useless, automatic mudslinging, Israel suddenly realized that it should finally investigate the events of Operation Cast Lead." - Oct 2, 2009, Haaretz

AMIRA HASS
"The Goldstone Commission's findings are in line with what anyone who didn't shut his or her eyes and ears to witness testimony already knows." - Sep 17, 2009, Haaretz

NORMAN G. FINKELSTEIN
"The findings were consistent with those of the other human rights organizations: Israel is guilty of a very significant number of war crimes." - Sep 16, 2009, Democracy Now

URI AVNERY
"In fact, the commission did not say anything new. Almost all the facts were already known: the bombing of civilian neighborhoods, the use of flechette rounds and white phosphorus against civilian targets, the bombing of mosques and schools, the blocking of rescue parties from reaching the wounded, the killing of fleeing civilians carrying white flags, the use of human shields, and more" - Sep 21, 2009, Counterpunch
