On April 1, 2011 Goldstone published a piece in the Washington Post titled 'Reconsidering the Goldstone Report on Israel and war crimes'. Goldstone noted that the subsequent investigations by Israel and recognized in the U.N. committee’s report "indicate that civilians were not intentionally targeted as a matter of policy" while "the crimes allegedly committed by Hamas were intentional goes without saying." He further expressed regret "that our fact-finding mission did not have such evidence explaining the circumstances in which we said civilians in Gaza were targeted, because it probably would have influenced our findings about intentionality and war crimes."

In acknowledging the history of anti-Israel bias of the UN Human Rights Council, Goldstone added: "That comparatively few Israelis have been killed by the unlawful rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza in no way minimizes the criminality. The U.N. Human Rights Council should condemn these heinous acts in the strongest terms."

Goldstone wrote that "If I had known then what I know now, the Goldstone Report would have been a different document." He said that the lack of Israeli cooperation had meant that no Israeli officers were interviewed during the writing of the report. In hindsight, incidents which had been interpreted as the deliberate targeting of civilians may have had other explanations, such as poor intelligence information. Goldstone also praised Israel for investigating claims of war crimes while faulting Hamas for its failure to launch any investigations of its own forces. Goldstone commended Israel for responding to his report by revising military procedures to e.g. limit the use of white phosphorus in civilian areas.

Goldstone also expressed that he initially hoped the "inquiry into all aspects of the Gaza conflict would begin a new era of evenhandedness at the U.N. Human Rights Council, whose history of bias against Israel cannot be doubted"

White phosphorus is not illegal under international but serious consideration to be given to the banning of its use as an obscurant.

It’s well documented that Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity by targetting Palestinians in its many incursions into the territories.
It routinely commits the crime of collective punishment by abducting and imprisoning Palestinians without trials.
It is armed with nuclear and biological weapons of mass destruction and threatens its neighbours with attacks.
It is run by religious fundamentalist nutjobs.
Yet the UN passes resolutions which Israel throws away with contempt while its long standing benefactor – the US-continues
to supply it with the means to continue its crimes
