perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire in WWI.
Yep, we can imagine the investigatory skills to be displayed here will be something-less-than immense; the only thing less immense will be the level of objectivity to be display by the various points of Light Unto the Nations.
Payback for Turkey, what a bitch.
Now i FINALLY see why the American politico class is so hot to trot on behalf of Israel and it's ever-changing, never-satisfied demands - they're simply preventing a very embarrassing Knessett investigation into slavery as it was practiced in this country.
Oh, i almost forgot - # 3002.

Israel's investigation of soldiers who crossed the line in the Gaza war?
Looks like the facts are proving you wrong again as just a few days the Israelli government announced that a soldier who fired on a couple of Gaza civilians would face charges.
So how many charges has the United States imposed on the drone operators who did such a good job in wiping out the al queda Number 3 at the cost of innocent wife, three daughters, granddaughter and other innocents in the drop zone? How many US drone operators have ever been charged? Maybe Israel is a little more serious about the killing of innocents than you appreciate.
But here is a good test to clear your confusion about the Israelli use of drones and the US use of drones. Following the 42 drone strikes used by Israel in the Gaza war, how many Israeli drone strikes can you name? In other words, outside of an actual "they are shooting at us now" war, how often has Israel fired drones?
I'll give you a hint - look for the number of correct posts in your 3002 body of work to figure this out.

Armenian Genocide.
Please try harder; i know that you are capable of much better work.
Anyone thinking of taking a long position re whitewash stocks on the Israeli equivalent of Wall Street?
Let's see where, if anywhere, those much-touted "charges" will lead.
Yes, i did see the news reports, and i immediately though of the old saw that hipocracy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue.
Perhaps the Knessett can investigate US drone strikes - THAT eould end them for all time. LMAO.
As fr your laughable rhetorical question about Israeli 'sensitivity' re the killing of innocents, does the name Rachel Corrie ring any bells?
We know, we know, just an honest, explainable accident - the IDF bulldozer was operated by a driver who was deaf, drunk, blind and really fucked up on illicit pharaceuticals. Lemme know when he 'faces charges.' February 31st is right around the corner! LMAO!

your back that was so injured. But if indeed you are limited to linear thinking then you should fit in quite well on the Board. You certainly will not get far with Yeats if you are a linear thinker.
Rachel Corrie is a poor analogy. There was a detailed investigation and, according to the official report, the facts pointed to negligence.
This guy fired at two Pally women who had raised the white flag. Indeed, if you ever actually read the Goldstone report, you will find a detailed description of this tragedy. So although the press has not picked up on this yet, we see Israel doing precisely what it said it would do with respect to the charges made by the Goldstone Four - conduct its own investigation and impose punishment where warranted.
are they anything at all like the official US reports re drone strikes?
You would be unwilling to accept 'official' US reports re drone strikes, but you are totally willing to acccept 'official' israeli reports, about pretty much anything it seems. No doubt based on some Jesuitical distinctisons which in NO WAY constitute double standard.
The fact in the Rachel corrie case pointed to negligence? Ain't that white of the IDF?
a pity Corrie wasn't killed in a drone strike - then you'd be really, really upset. As long as, of course, it wasn't an Israeli drone strike.
Did not the stupid girl lay down in front of a bulldozer ?
"are they anything at all like the official US reports re drone strikes?"
Um -Since the CIA does not comment on the drone strikes in Pakistan - otherwise known as "warheads on foreheads" there are are "no official US reports re drone strikes" re Pakistan. Sadly, the CIA is unwilling to follow the Israelli example of accountability (excluding the nuclear program and assassination program of course -one of the few places Israel really deserves criticism that you somehow miss) - they take no official accountability - they just execute and it is left for the locals and human rights organizations to shift through the blast zone and see if they can find who has been killed.
As for Ms. Corrie being killed in an Israeli drone strike, that would not happen unless she was observed firing rockets at Israel, or during the Gaza war, was in company of others who were so involved.
We really need to shake you out of your linear thinking problem. You are self destructing with your attempt to treat the two programs the same.
"The best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity." Perhaps you should think about that.
