justice for none

Further to the post below:
Israeli military police have closed an investigation into soldiers' accounts of abuses committed in Gaza, saying they were based on hearsay Gaza soldier accounts 'hearsay', bbc, 30 March, 2009.
Right, all those human rights organisations lying yet again. Here are some of the original stories that were posted in Ha'aretz, and hereand here and here are posts on the smears that the stories then received. All the more reason that petitions such as this one from Amnesty International, urging Prime Minister Rudd to push for an investigation of 'alleged' war crimes committed in Gaza should be signed. The United Nations is very much pushing for investigations, too. Its wishes will probably be vetoed by the United States.

Note: Ha'aretz reports on the story here: Gaza probe / Either troops are liars, or the IDF is pure as snow, Amos Harel. You might also want to read a connected story by the same writer from the 19th of March when the testimonies first came out.


*2nd April, 2009: From Amnesty International on the above.
