Calling the Goldstone Report "not fair to Israel" is just not working anymore. The Israel's reluctance to come clean and conduct a credible investigation of alleged war crimes (even if these allegations are merely perceptions) is not only beyond belief, but is doing incalculable damage to the Israeli cause. If the Israelis do not come to their senses in very short order we will witness the waning of robust international support and the rapid demise of the "two-state" solution. A "one-state" solution, while being a tough concept to contemplate, will soon become the new reality.<br><br>And is there anyone who still believes that the US can continue their role as the "honest broker" in the mid-East theatre? The US Super Power status is in rapid decline and the "Super Powers in waiting" (just follow the money and population demographics) might not be as kind to Israel.
