The political debacle prompted by the confession of Israeli military personnel about their conduct in Gaza has forced the launch of a probe. With Israeli armed forces having themselves confessed to the wanton killing of civilians as well as immoral behavior in the Gaza Strip and the issue spilling into politics, the Israeli military has been forced to take action. Military Advocate General Brig. Gen. Avichai Mendelblit on Thursday ordered the Military Police Investigation unit to launch a probe into the testimony of Israeli veterans of the three-week war. The People's Voice: Gaza deaths dog Israeli military. TimesOnline: ISRAELI SOLDIERS ADMIT TO DELIBERATE KILLING OF GAZA CIVILIANS. Al Jazeera: Gaza offensive possible 'war crime'. The Independent: Israel's dirty secrets in Gaza. -Dirty secrets? There was nothing secret about this to the Palestinians at the time. It all happened in the open for everyone to see. The petty retail murders, the wholesale mass murders & everything. They knew exactly what was being done to them! A lot of bloggers knew about it too and wrote about it. But because mainstream media are so wilfully stupid & uninformed, it now appears to MSM to have been done in secret. This will not get them off the hook, though. -We're not just talking about the usual slanted Western perspective here, mind you. We're pointing our finger at a very criminal willingness to look the other way, and worse still, at a complicity in the Zionist war crimes. Remember the "Secret" Bombing of Cambodia? Nothing secret about it at all. Same thing. -On another note, one is reminded of an old Doonesbury strip, from the 1970s, "wherein the Vietnamese character Phred takes a post-war vacation to Cambodia. Talking to the curator of a demolished museum, he asks if it had been destroyed during the "Secret Bombings." The man replies: Secret bombings? Boy, there wasn't anything secret about them! Everyone here knew! I did, and my wife, she knew, too! She was with me, and I remarked on them! I said "Look, Martha, here come the bombs. His wife turns to Phred and says: It's true, he did."
