"Everyone knows what IDF strategy was, so what is there to investigate?"
Then why not drop them a line explaining the situation and tell them too ask you if they need clarification on anything and save themselves all that time and money?
Don't be stupis Keith, if you think the death of 1,462 civilians - 344 children And 110 women doesn't need investigation and can be settled by asking the IDF why they did it, you are beyond help.
'The Friends of Israel' relised it needed investigation; that's why they commissioned an enquiry and mocked-up a report absolving Israel.
The U.S. have always realised that Israel has been breaking International Laws in their treatment of Arabs - that's why they have been forced to use their veto so many times to protect them from prosecution
Obama was so appalled at what happened in Gaza that he threatened to withdraw the protection of the American veto.
Israel realises that their actions breached international laws - that's why they have attempted to get the International Criminal Court closed.
We all know that an enquiry is necessary - we saw it on our televisions and read it in our newspaper daily throughout the period that the slaughter and destruction was taking place.
Since the Friends of Israel whitewash came up I've been poking around some past evens.
Th Kahan investigation held by Israel to absolve itself in a similar fashion - no evidence of proper research - just politicians and soldiers explaining why they allowed the massacre to happen.
Similarly, the Jenin massacre that wasn't- based mainly on the statement of an American military man who declared it wasn't a massacre.
Israel has powerful political allies who have spent much time and effort keeping them from being prosecuted for war crimes and atrocities.
Hopefully, this was a far too public display of international criminality to get them off the hook on this occasion.
