When Israel first investigated the incident in March 2005 it concluded there was insufficient evidence to press criminal charges. The commander of the unit faced disciplinary proceedings but was exonerated.

The usual whitewash didn't work this time.

If the IDF did something wrong then they should, and apparently are, going to pay for it. Israel isn't a horrible nation. They are a democratic country smack dab in the middle of a bunch of countries that would just as soon see them wiped off the face of the Earth

Which countries would those be?

Egypt? They got a peace treaty with them....

Jordan? The King is a strong U.S. ally, needs all those nice shiny toys Boeing and Lockheed keep selling him.

Syria? Doesn't have what it takes to even reclaim the Golan Heights, let alone "Wipe Israel off the map".

Lebanon? Yeah, their a big danger, no really...they are!

Some people choose really apt names, don't they!

Ye.
Oh, stop smirking and sit up straight.

I've been trying to give up smirking, but I keep buying the damn things.

6 years, no weed.

Knew a guy once, hadn't weed in a week, kidneys failed, now he's on electrolysis, shame really.

After 6 years you must be in terrible pain!

Strange, you're right but I know it would be much worse pain if I was still on tobacco.

IMO, there's no part of the body that isn't negativity impacted. I'm liberal on everything, even drugs that I've never taken, but not tobacco. Living long doesn't bother me. Living healthily does.
