EXCEPT if you can blame the Israelis for NOT CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION as in the Brian Avery case.
NOTE TO EVERYONE BUT STEVE: The extensive Israeli investigation following Sabra and Shatila concluded that no Israeli soldier was involved in killing c. 700 - 800 Palestinians in 1982. The also concluded that the IDF military commander of nearby Israeli troops, Ariel Sharon SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE DEATHS WERE ABOUT TO OCCURR AND SHOULD HAVE TRIED TO PREVENT THEM. For this he was removed from his post as a consequence.
This proves that Israel is willing to conduct self examinations of allegations of criminal conduct on the part of its own military.
Steve keeps bringing this case up because he needs to prove the Israelis are cold-blooder killers and have committed massacres. But he ignores far fresher massacres with much higher death tolls in order to find a case which he can accuse an Israeli.
And even though he had to go back 23 years to find an "Israeli" massacre, all he can find is a reprimand of Sharon for failing to stop an massacre by a Lebanese Christian Phalanx.
According to Steve it doesn't matter whether an investigation is done or not
