"Go investigate yourself."
..is... is that supposed to be a western liberal tough talk or something? Performative parenting at its worst.
"We are continuing to press them for additional information."
"But why not why not have an independent forensic investigation, which the Palestinians are calling for?"
As Hunter Thompson said, to ask the question is to answer the question.
“Well, we have police departments investigate themselves…”
They cant seem to get off the "israel said so" train. Refusing to even consider an alternative. Is there no way to get a different member of the international community involved enough to run such an independent examination? Or is everyone else sitting on the fence watching to see how yhe play ends?
Who is going to let another country investigate their Military during an ongoing war? Isreal has to be the one to provide the reports its not that unexpected or out of the ordinary.
They should be forced to let independent investigators investigate whatever Israel like it or not. There is investigations in ukraine during the war. Not even russia allies would say russia should investigate themselves
Without US support Israel would cease to exist within a year, so the US can do whatever it pleases. Second, the investigation does not need to be performed by a military but can also be done by neutral observers.
Do you have other specific examples? Preferably with sources. As a layman it's very unexpected, I'd like to learn more.
A bit different (since there was no war yet and it wasn't about the military) but after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Austria requested to send their own police to investigate the case around the "Black Hand" (the terror organisation that assassinated him).
It really isn't unusual for countries to deny foreign investigation.
I don't have any examples but I would change my stance if there were examples of countries letting others investigate their military in the middle of a war.
Seems like noone will investigate
