A very different approach is defensible and more emotionally satisfying, but Israel must be pragmatic in addressing the great and continuing damage Goldstone's report has caused. Kudos to the IDF for investigating itself, but this hasn't passed muster with the international community. The quoted spokesman is right on the money-- Israel's friends need help, especially as the drumbeat of extradition to the Hague gets louder. Middle’s right about this.

The IDF has its two reports but the short one has already been contested and the second one will be. My point is that the IDF won't be enough and as we can see, the Israelis know this. It's just that they aren't dealing with it today the way they should and know they should. This means that they'll give in later or watch helplessly as Israel is sent to the Hague. The same officers Barak is protecting from an investigation and from damaged morale may find themselves on trial. It's a foolish risk and a poor assessment of the situation.

The IDF has released its first report, mostly a thing of statistics, and a fuller, more in-depth report/response to Goldstone, is slated to be released and presented to the Untied Nations at the end of March. they have established a commission.
