The New York Times on some Israeli responses to the devastating UN Gaza report:
Not surprisingly, Israelis in southern Israel have little patience for the international condemnation, and there is not much soul-searching under way.
“People scoffed” at the Goldstone report, said Sasson Sara, the owner of a newspaper store in Sderot, the border town hit by thousands of rockets. “What does he understand? He sits in an air-conditioned room and he writes.”
Yafa Malka, a glamorously made-up Sderot hairdresser, said she felt “pain and humiliation” when she heard about the report.
“I am very sorry for all those who were killed in Gaza,” Ms. Malka said, “but I expect my country to defend me no matter how.”
