[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] William Schabas participated in "Russell Tribunal" after Goldstone said it was a kangaroo court

In 2011, Richard Goldstone wrote in the New York Times:

One particularly pernicious and enduring canard that is surfacing again is that Israel pursues “apartheid” policies. In Cape Town starting on Saturday, a London-based nongovernmental organization called the Russell Tribunal on Palestine will hold a “hearing” on whether Israel is guilty of the crime of apartheid. It is not a “tribunal.” The “evidence” is going to be one-sided and the members of the “jury” are critics whose harsh views of Israel are well known.

While “apartheid” can have broader meaning, its use is meant to evoke the situation in pre-1994 South Africa. It is an unfair and inaccurate slander against Israel, calculated to retard rather than advance peace negotiations.

The head of the newer iteration of the Goldstone commission, William Schabas, said about Goldstone on his blog, "The world should be thankful that we have people like Richard Goldstone. He had better be on next year's Nobel short list."

Yet after Schabas' idol Richard Goldstone condemned the Russell Tribunal, William schabas participated in that sham. Not only that, but he identified with the members of the "tribunal" to the point that he referred to Zionists as "our enemies."

Schabas chose to side with a washed up rock star and a firm believer that shape-shifting aliens control our minds from the moon - instead of his former idol Goldstone.

No wonder his own colleague called on Schabas to recuse himself from this commission due to his bias.
