Goldstone vs. the Mob
In effect what Alan Dershowitz and Yaacov Lozowick have suggested with their letters to the editor is that since they disagree with the findings of Judge Richard Goldstone’s Gaza report, he is fair game for all who take issue with him and should be treated horribly (“Goldstone Critics Have a Real Case,” January 14).
This strikes me as having more in common with the values of the mob that Alexander Hamilton railed against in the Federalist Papers than anything that has sprung from Jewish or Zionist traditions.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
