By Micah Halpern
Friday May 7, 2010 I've Been Thinking: The Israeli mass circulation daily Yedioth Ahronoth has made public their investigation into Richard Goldstone. Goldstone, a South African Jew who authored the scathing report condemning Israel's actions during their conflict with Hamas during Operation Caste Lead, was a judge in South Africa during the 1980's and 1990's under the Apartheid Regime. Judge Goldstone sentenced at least 28 blacks to death. Alan Dershowitz was repulsed by Goldstone's comments. Hannah Arendt wrote a compelling thesis explaining the "banality of evil" after witnessing the trial of Adolf Eichmann trial in Jerusalem. The Eichmann defense was that he was but a part of larger system, following orders, a cog in a wheel. Goldstone should know that morally and legally his is a seriously problematic argument.
