May I say that as someone who was born and grew up as a second class citizen in apartheid South Africa, I regard Goldstone as a 'righteous gentile". His ruling in "State versus Govender" helped to bring about the end of apartheid.
Your campaign against him seems to be sparked more by his "apostatism" then by his actual findings; others have have found more harshly against Israel but remain ignored.
I don't think I'm waging a "campaign" against Judge Goldstone. I think I've been quite measured, but perhaps you can point me to a particular post of mine you find objectionable?
