The inmates are running the asylum. The whole Israeli administration is one great big funny farm.

A free and democratic nation must clear or punish anyone suspected of wrong doing. I hope all suspected will be justly acquitted if prosecuted. But no country or person is perfect.

... Israel has fought a DEFENSIVE war against hamas/Islamic terror. Then it is NOT appropriate to investigate any eventual wrongdoing at the defender side. The defender can use ANY kind of force against those who started the war.. Innocence?? Hamas sent thousands of rocket aiming to kill civilians... Then stop the investigation.

democracies today are faced by genocidal islamist terrorists, supported by state sponsors of terror. democracies cannot fight islamist terrorists with their hands tied behind their backs. soldiers should be punished only if they commit grave crimes such as intentional murder. in such cases, the intention, the mens rea, must be proven beyond doubt.

War criminals investigating themselves.

Let the soldiers do their jobs. War is not a picnic. Stop expecting Israeli soldiers to act like a bunch of choirboys. That isn't their job. What IS their job is getting the job done.

Where have I heard that before?

A witch hunt which will only demoralize IDF soldiers who put their lives on the line.

world again ! Un avoidable deaths by Hamas using hymn shields and killing there own does not warrant an investigation by the IDF of their own

were dispatched in the proper direction of an armed enemy, or just fired randomly in the direction from which the other side was shooting? Is there a limit to what we, The Israeli People are willing to take?!

The military and politicians are becoming weaker and nuttier by the day.

The war criminals are those that hide behind their own hoping they'll be killed for propaganda. Mistakes in war are not war crimes. But Israel defending itself is a war crime, right? BS!

israel has along history of turning a blind eye to idf, irgun, stein war crimes. One of best is Kafr Qasem massacre On October 29, 1956, at 3:30 PM IDF declared a curfew, anyone out after 5:00 PM to be shot. Unfortunately is you were an Arab out of village you didn't get the message. As the buses and truck returning the village began returning, the iDF murder then. 47 murdered. The officer in charge was found guilty by the IDF. He was fined $2.00 (two dollars)

Good grief yourself, Robert. You'd be the very first one to bash Israel for anything and you'd be hyper-critical of Israel not investigating charges of abuse. And yet when they do, you're leading the charge of those criticizing them for doing so. Hypocritical much?
