An Israeli Commission Whitewash?
So the Israelis are to be allowed to investigate themselves regards the attack on the aid flotilla headed for Gaza. Surprise, surprise!
Veteran Israeli peace activist, writer and founder of Gush Shalom – Uri Avnery – has compiled a list of the important questions that need to be answered by any objective commission of enquiry, in his essay: Who’s Afraid of a Real Inquiry?

unless we discount the video taken of the islamists raising their clubs before a single IDF soldier lands on board, how would you expect your own coast guards to react if facing the same situation while stopping to inspect a drug runners vessel?
each time israel gives up land, the muzzies use it as an attack base. imagine if the u.s. gave some land back to mexico and mexicans used that land to launch missiles back-wouldn’t americans find “land for peace” a bullshit ploy?
see, that’s a difference between a mexican and a palestinian. one is christian and is open to coexisting, the other isn’t.
The important fact about the attack on the flotilla is that the ship was in international waters and Israel had no business boarding a ship that posed no military threat.
As to your analogy about Mexico and Mexicans. Try this more accurate one. Imagine if Americans decided to take over Mexico and drive the Mexicans into a small corner of the country. Then imagine these Mexicans decide to resist such an occupation. Would these Mexicans be content to be “given a bit of their land back” or would they prefer the Americans to leave? And what if the Americans don’t leave, wouldn’t there be Mexicans who fight back – and would they therefore be called “terrorists”?
