"If I had known then what I know now, the Goldstone report another document, would", wrote Richard Goldstone, a former South African lawyer, in a Washington Post op-ed column Friday.
Israel already long critical of the conclusions of the UN Human Rights Council on its war against the Hamas in Gaza on Saturday in 2008-09, presented called for the body to cancel the results.
"Everything we said proved true,", said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "Civilians, its institutions and bodies are deliberately worthy Israel not intentionally damage while the Hamas fired on innocent civilians and tested everything." "The fact that Goldstone may traced the shelves of this report a for once to lead."
There was no immediate response from Hamas.

Civilian targets that deliberate is the supposed crimes of Hamas only of course - its missiles were targeted and indiscriminately target.--Richard Goldstone, published Friday in a Washington Post op-ed
Israeli investigations found cases relating to individual soldiers, but the deliberate targeting of civilians by Israel was not a "question of politics," Goldstone writes now.
Israel began the offensive against Gaza militants in response to continuous firing of rockets against southern Israeli towns.
The UN Human Rights Council, the Goldstone and others associated with the fact-finding mission, approved the controversial report, which focused more on alleged war crimes committed by Israel.
Israel provided to justify the United Nations with a report of his actions later. Israel said it faced "asymmetrical conflicts" and "militant operation from within and behind civilian areas" the blame for the placement of civilians at risk.
In his column, Goldstone cited a subsequent report by a UN Committee of independent experts, which found that Israel examined more than 400 allegations of misconduct during Hamas "no studies on the introduction of rocket and mortar has carried out attacks against Israel."
", That supposedly goes deliberate crimes of Hamas of course scale - its rockets deliberately and indiscriminately at civilian targets addressed," Goldstone wrote Friday.
Goldstone said Israel conducted proceedings in a public forum and during the Panel investigation increased cooperation should have.
"Israel's lack of cooperation with our investigation meant that we could confirm civilians were killed as many residents of the Gaza Strip and how many fighters," wrote in the Washington Post article Goldstone, adding Israeli has completed only a few of his investigations.
Asked whether the Israeli Government should have worked with the Goldstone Commission from the beginning, said Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman on Saturday that the Government did not set a precedent for facilities, which it considers enemy in Government decision making intervention want.
Hamas, Goldstone said, continue to fire and mortar rounds rockets at civilian targets in southern Israel and should be condemned by the Human Rights Council.
The judge wrote that military commanders "difficult battlefield decisions" and that he is convinced Israel examined according to the death of 29 members of a family. "The bombing of the House was apparently the result of the Commander of an Israeli faulty interpretation of an image is drone, and Israeli officer ordered subject of investigation for the attack."
"Although the regret Israeli evidence that since the publication of our report has emerged not negate the tragic loss of civilian life, I, that explain our fact finding mission not evidence the circumstances in which we said that it targeted civilians in the Gaza Strip warenweil our experience with intentionality and war crimes", probably influenced have would "Goldstone wrote."
Goldstone said since 2009, market-friendly new procedures for the protection of civilians, the use of white phosphorus in civilian areas limit report, Israel Defense Forces.
Gaza-based Palestinian Centre for human rights the death toll in World War II in 1,419 and said that those were 1.167 "Civilians." The Israeli military released own data, by he claimed you 1.166 people came, and that 60 percent of those were "Terror activists."
In 2009, when the Goldstone report came out, called Ibrahim Khraishi, the Palestinian Authority Ambassador to the United Nations, professional and impartial.
"This report another report should not be only document and archive", Khraishi said. "Not this Council will forgive my people, if they get away with these criminals."
But the United States, which together with the European Union considers a terrorist organisation Hamas, the report said "was deeply flawed."
Alejandro Wolff, Deputy U.S. of representative to the United Nations, the report and "unbalanced focus on Israel, that it draws negative conclusions about Israel's intentions and actions, which do not adequately with the asymmetric nature of the conflict in Gaza behandelnund their failure" criticized in February 2010, Hamas responsibility for deliberately targeting to civilians and support assign itself and its operations in civilian densely populated urban areas. "
Saturday to Israel's channel 2 said, Israel Liberman, "I would like to congratulate Goldstone's new conclusions, but I am not surprised by them." "We knew the truth, and we had no doubts that it would finally come out."CNN's Kevin contributed flower in Jerusalem to this report
