UNDERSTANDING
THE GOLDSTONE REPORT

Dear Richard,

As P.W. Botha would have said, "Your report is too dastardly to contemplate". When I met P.W. on the Angolan border on the 27 March 1976, he told me how much he admired Israel and it's people (Die Jode in Israel ). Is it not incredible that P.W. Botha being Prime Minister at the height of apartheid so much admired us and you, a Jew, whom P.W. granted a meteoric rise to Appellate Judge, so much hates us. Are you not ashamed?

As an Israeli Jew, and as an Old Edwardian, I am mystified by your behaviour. It is unbelievable that you have seen fit to cause us such great damage and damage extending into the future, but hereunder, I will prove to you why you have done this. But first, I will prove to you why your report is null and void.

The whole free world accepts the following definition of the intelligence gathering process, which is the collection, collation, interpretation and dissemination of information (information also includes facts). The collation phase demands that the information and facts that will be used are true, correct and confirmed. Any information and facts that do not satisfy this requirement must be disregarded. Now comes the crux of the whole matter. The word truth here is used in the context of the free world meaning that it bears the integrity, responsibility, morality and uprightness of the free world. This is what we learnt at KES. Everybody who has had experience in dealing with our Arab Moslem enemies, as I have, will agree with me that their definition of the truth is the fabrication of a false truth to conform to what they want to believe. I, therefore use two terms from now on, truth meaning free world truth and Arab truth which is in fact meaningless. What I am stating here is absolutely correct Richard.

Remember that you and I had the same grounding at KES until the age of 17 and I know your mentality, so if you had the same experience as I do of getting to know the mind of our Moslem enemies, you would agree with me. I know the Moslem mind inside out. Incidentally, I am three years older than you so that we had an identical school education.

Your report is based on Arab facts, Arab information and Arab truth. In other words, your report does not pass the collation phase of the intelligence gathering process, and it is therefore meaningless and null and void. It is unbelievable how cruel and savage these Hamas people are. They lie, deceive, murder and fabricate with no conscience. For example, because they want to believe it, they claim that we Jews have no historical right to this country. Because they want to believe it, they will move remains of Israeli ammunition to other places to prove we deliberately fired at civilians. As you have already received mountains of criticism and condemnation regarding operation cast lead, I need not refer further to it.

Now why have you associated yourself with this report in spite of the fact that you have a brilliant mind? At university you belonged to NUSAS showing that you cared about racial discrimination. In 1978 you accepted an appointment from Jimmy Kruger, Minister of Justice, to be a temporary judge to the Transvaal Supreme Court. Jimmy Kruger was often called the Himler of apartheid. You were not forced to accept this appointment which was made permanent in 1980. When queried why you accepted to be an apartheid judge, you replied that you preferred to try and change things from within. I have to deduce at this stage:

1. You are a brilliant man to have been made a judge at such an early age.

2. You wanted to advance your career.

3. Perhaps you had changed your mind from NUSAS days.

4. You did not tell the truth about changing things from within, because you knew full well that any statement against apartheid with people like Jimmy Kruger and P.W. Botha around, would have led to immediate dismissal.

After 1980 your career advanced extremely rapidly in the apartheid regime. You were appointed to the Appellate Division of the S.A. Supreme Court which was a top position in the apartheid hierarchy. You are known to have mixed socially with the Afrikaner leaders. You are known to have assisted P.W. Botha to cover up what was going on during the state of emergency which made you an accomplice to apartheid policy.

After Nelson Mandela was released from jail, and De Klerk still had a strong influence, De Klerk appointed you to head a commission to investigate the causes of violence in the country. You helped to protect De Klerk's image by a verdict that Sithole committed suicide in spite of evidence to the contrary. You also exonerated all the security forces from any guilt during the violence. You found no evidence of the operation of a third force.

Some time before the General Election in 1994, you started to change your report which ended up confirming the existence of a third force of government forces committing atrocities against Blacks. You also refused to investigate reports of ANC violence against Whites despite evidence of it's existence. You had deserted De Klerk and became an ANC hero. Mandela was grateful to you and appointed you to the newly formed Constitutional Court .

Now my deductions will lead to finality:

1. The above indicates that you have a brilliant ability at twisting and turning in order to best serve your own personal interests. It proved that you could not have supported apartheid in your heart but you certainly convinced the Afrikaans leaders that you did.

2. Your maneuvering to support and then deceive De Klerk is mesmerizing. Your feat in becoming an ANC hero after a past of being an apartheid judge is more than mesmerizing.

At last I have reached my conclusions. You have proved without a shadow of a doubt that:

1. You are a brilliant man in all spheres of activity.

2. You are only interested in your own advancement irrespective of right or wrong, and irrespective of morality or common decency.

3. You will only support anybody, any group or anything provided it leads to your own advancement.

You can see, Richard that I have done my analysis without any preconceived malice. My deductions and conclusions have been made according to the principles of making a military appreciation. Having said this, I now declare that I am totally ashamed of you.

From Conclusion 3 above, it is obvious that you are only using your report for the purpose of Hamas and all the Arab block and their supporters, to nominate you for Secretary General of the United Nations as this is the only worthwhile advancement for a man like you already in such a high position. With all their support, you will have an automatic majority to vote you in as the new Secretary General of the United Nations.

I maintain that you are betraying the State of Israel and the Jewish people. You have already disgraced the name of your family. You are the only Old Edwardian I know of who fights or has fought for evil against good. During World War 2, there were 178 Old Edwardians who were killed fighting for good against evil.

My final conclusions are indeed very sad ones. From all of the above, it is logically obvious that because of all your brilliant qualities, attention to detail, shrewdness etc:

1. You know and understand that your report is null and void.

2. You know exactly that I am right about the Arab truth, Arab facts and Arab information.

3. You know that the I.D.F. is the most moral army in the world.

4. You know that we did our best to avoid civilian casualties.

5. You know that our Israeli cause is just.

6. You know that everything that so many people have emailed to you is correct.

7. You know that your desire to become Secretary General of the U.N. is so over-powering that you do not care about Israel or her survival.

8. In other words, you are the instigator, architect and the driving force about everything in your report ie: the facts have become Goldstone facts the same as Arab facts, the information has become Goldstone information the same as Arab information, the truth has become Goldstone truth the same as Arab truth.

9. You have created in your name a Hamas report that they cannot do.

10. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, YOUR THOROUGH PREPARATION WAS SUCH THAT YOU KNEW ALL OF THE ABOVE EVEN BEFORE YOU STARTED ON THIS WHOLE PROJECT.

It is not too late to repent, Richard. Declare your report null and void and cleanse your conscience. Your – by now infamous report has done no good, it may well cost lives. It was grossly unjust and you know that ultimately,justice will be served. One day when Hamas & Co do not need you anymore, you will be left ostracized and alone. But first, in order to achieve justice, you have to be punished for your sins. I leave that to the Israeli Foreign Ministry or powers above them.

Understand my definition of Arab truth, Richard. It is Israel ’s understanding of the “Arab truth that plays no small part in the ongoing battle for Israel ’s survival. As your future now has become inextricably linked to those who applauded you and with some encouragement from you, continue to threaten Israel , your understanding of Arab truth – as it serves Israel , could play a similar role in your future well being.
