Israel drops Gaza war crimes probe

The Israeli military has closed an investigation into claims that Israeli troops shot unarmed Palestinian women and children during its 22-day war on Gaza.
Military investigators said on Monday that Israeli soldiers were passing on "hearsay" when they described the alleged incidents, published by Israeli media earlier this month…( http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/03/2009330162126371226.html).

Comment from Molly, Australia : Why does the decision by the Israeli military to close an investigation into alleged war crimes not surprise me? The military investigates the military, always, in Israel and in its backer, the US, whenever these two countries commit war crimes. Always an absolution of themselves and too gutless to face the truth of war crimes committed by so-called civilised nations. What absolute hypocrisy! Trouble for Israel is that it shot itself in the foot with its recent slaughter in Gaza.
