CAMERA finds many problems with the Goldstone Report.
| REPORT: |
There is no evidence of Palestinian fighters using civilian clothes. |
| FACT: |
Journalists and eyewitnesses repeatedly noted the use of civilian clothes by Hamas fighters. |
|
| REPORT: |
There is no evidence of armed groups directing civilians to areas where attacks were being launched or forcing them to remain in the vicinity of attacks. |
| FACT: |
Palestinian witnesses and video evidence reveal that fighters did direct civilians to areas where attacks were being launched. |
|
| REPORT: |
There is no evidence that hospitals or ambulances were used for military activities. |
| FACT: |
Eyewitnesses describe Palestinian firing from hospitals and use of ambulances. |
|
| REPORT: |
The mission could not determine whether mosques were used for military purposes. |
| FACT: |
There is video evidence of weaponry stored in a mosque, and of secondary explosions of mosques consistent with the storage of explosives. |
|
| REPORT: |
The amount of aid allowed into Gaza by Israel decreased after the end of the fighting. |
| FACT: |
If not false, the assertion is at best disingenuous. The average weekly number of humanitarian shipments increased in the months after the war ended. |
|
| TESTIMONY: |
The Zeitoun area is pacifist and had no militant groups or rocket fire. |
| REPORT: |
This witness is credible and reliable, and there is no reason to doubt his testimony.
|
| FACT: |
There are many documented cases of Palestinian militants being killed in armed clashes in the neighborhood. |
|
| TESTIMONY: |
The al Fakhoura area was not used to fire at Israel, and no combatants were killed in the Fakhoura incident. |
| REPORT: |
The Report was based in part on three interviews with the Hamas official who made the above claim, and did not cast doubt on his testimony. |
| FACT: |
Palestinian eyewitnesses and Israel note that the area was used to fire at Israel, and that combatants were killed in the Israeli strike. |
