RAMALLAH, April 4 (JMCC) - Despite Israel's claims that international jurist Richard Goldstone has retracted the findings of a United Nations report on possible war crimes in Israel's 2008-2009 war on the Gaza Strip, the truth of the matter is quite different, writes author Ben White.

Indeed, the Washington Post where Goldstone published his opinion over the weekend is not the United Nations, writes White, and Goldstone does not debunk the main findings of that world body.
