Israel Matzav: MK calls for investigation into extreme Leftist organizations

MK calls for investigation into extreme Leftist organizations

Kadima MK Yisrael Hasson has called for an investigation into Leftist organizations that were involved in the Goldstone Report. Hasson is a member of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

Yisrael Hasson of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee is initiating a special committee meeting following reports of involvement by extreme leftist organizations in formulating the Goldstone report, which charges Israel with war crimes in the execution of the Cast Lead counter-terror campaign in Gaza last winter. The Kadima lawmaker says the state is the body that should have acted as the Im Tirtzu non-governmental organization did to uncover the leftist connection.

Interviewed by Arutz Sheva's Hebrew service, Hasson said, "It can't be that the prime minister defines the report as a strategic threat and now it becomes clear that it came from home."

What's mildly surprising here is that Hasson is from Kadima and not from the Likud or anyone further right than that. That ought to show you all how strong the consensus is here that Goldstone is wrong.
