How About Correcting Your Misstatements, Mr. Carter?

The Goldstone report did not examine “closely the cause of deaths of 1,387 Palestinians.”

The report identified by name only a small fraction of the 1,387 reported fatalities, and certainly did not “closely” examine the “cause of deaths” of that total.

Again, we hope your conciliatory words are indicative of a true change of heart in which Israel is no longer subjected to unwarranted and false criticism. We urge you to take the concrete step of correcting the wrong and distorted statements about Israel in your recent column in the IHT.

Thank you for considering this request and, perhaps, setting the stage for a new beginning.
