The Jewish Policy Center provides scholarly perspectives on foreign and domestic policies that impact the Jewish community in the U.S., and the broader American public. We assert that Americans can no longer afford to hold on to outdated ideas. This includes optimism over misguided Middle East peace deals, appeasement of dictators, and unrealistic hopes that dangerous realities in the Middle East might simply change without tougher U.S. policies.

The Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (Malam), an Israeli NGO, released a 500-page document this week refuting the Goldstone Report's findings by explaining the South African judge's four basic flaws, as well as the true nature of Israel's conflict against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The study employs a vast amount of intelligence information, including video clips, photographs, seized documents and sketches, along with statements made by captured Hamas terrorist operatives and IDF officers. The report's findings are astounding.

According to Malam, the Goldstone Report impairs "the reader's ability to understand Israel's reasons for Operation Cast Lead." It does so by: (1) failing to explain Hamas' nature as a terrorist organization: it's ideology, strategy, military-terrorist infrastructure, and its record of suicide bombings and rocket firings; (2) minimizing the extent of Hamas' terrorist activity since it took over Gaza in 2007; (3) ignoring Hamas' military build-up following 2007; and (4) refusing to cover "the massive amounts of aid" Iran, Hezbollah, and Syria have given Hamas to construct its terrorist infrastructure.
