    That’s never going to happen. The best you could hope for with any military is a court martial. And even that’s never going to happen.

    Maybe a truth and reconciliation commission after the parents are long dead.

    They don’t need one. Israel already let the cat out of the bag. They blamed it on one guy thinking he saw a weapon on grainy drone footage.

    Which is obviously bullshit. And in my opinion you don’t get a second shot at an explanation like that. Anyone involved in the strike and the cover up should be tried by a third party like the Hague.

    For those wondering why that’s a bullshit line, here’s what we know.

    • The convoy was coordinated, so it should have been on a protected target list. That means they’d need evidence it was being used for military purposes. Taking a single rifle for a walk isn’t a military purpose.

    • It was well marked. So if they were surveiling the convoy they would need to be blind to not notice the markings.

    • The convoy traveled with a large separation. If they were worried about one guy with a rifle why did they strike other vehicles? In order to be effective as a military unit they would need to be much closer together. Also, with protected targets you strike only exactly as much as you need to. Hitting all three vehicles is a clear over reach.

    • They struck the convoy shortly after they had done a stop to disburse food. If they were under surveillance this would be obvious civilian activity.

    • This isn’t the first aid convoy Israel has hit with precision weapons. There is a pattern here.

      The thing is, that excuse actually seems worse to me than just saying “yeah, one of our people saw an aid convoy and decided to order an attack”. The latter is a single bad apple. Sure, in that counterfactual Israel should have noticed the person was unfit and never let him in a command position. However, people are unpredictable and momsters exist.

      However, in the story Israel gave, there was no individual monster; only a systemic one. Misreading a grainy image is not a crime. It is not even morally wrong. And, more importantly, it is going to happen thousands of times weather you like it or not. The problem was the policy that that single determination was enough to authorize a strike. According to Israel; that policy is a-ok.

    Why is a probe needed? We know exactly what happened. The USA government just won’t admit it. Fuck Israel.

      Maybe just go fuck yourself? Those people died trying to make this world a little bit more humane. What have you done with your life so far?

          Good for you. Millions are starving from an artificial famine. On top of being constantly bombed for months with electricity, food, water, and aid shut off because your occupiers consider you subhuman animals.

              It’s entirely man-made. Israel has had control of Gaza with the occupation and blockade since 1967, enforcing policies for the de-development of Gaza’s economy. Over 60% of people were already food insecure. Israel’s policies of Water control left everyone with half the water of the emergency WHO standards.

              Israel has shut off all food, water, electricity, and aid to Gaza. Because as occupiers they have that power over occupied territories. They’ve repeatedly targeted refugee camps, hospitals, safe zones, and aid trucks.

              “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly"
