What is wrnog with the Economist?

I was rather most disappointed with this article about Judge Goldstone's report on Israeli war crimes. It was not typical of the Economist's coverage of the Middle East. As if the reporter was pained by the findings. Look at this sentence: "Unlike Syria, say, Israel is a democracy that claims to live by the rule of law. It needs to make its case by moral force as well as by force of arms." Clear propaganda. But I like how Goldstone's daughter defended her father: "Mr Goldstone’s daughter, Nicole, who lived in Israel for many years but now lives in Canada, vigorously defended her father’s report in an interview on the army radio. “If it hadn’t been for him, the report would have been even harsher,” she said, speaking in Hebrew."
