Israeli leaders may publicly boast of inflicting heavy damage to Hamas’s rocket capability, yet the fact remains that they failed to reach their ultimate objective of dismantling that capability, which is sure to be replenished and strengthened in the months to come.

9th October, 2009
In dissecting the Goldstone Report, Richard Falk points to a number of limitations and pitfalls which he himself would undoubtedly have averted. He nevertheless acclaims the report as an historic milestone in the struggle for Palestinian justice, which has already shaken Israel’s pedestal of impunity. As the power cards in the region are being reshuffled, it remains to be seen just how far-reaching its impact will really be. But, as it is, the “before and after” line has already been drawn.
