A SHAM?

Some ministers wantA sham investigation,Without defining responsibilityAnd without uncoveringThe army’s actions.That will not reduceThe pressure.What is needed is aState investigation committee,Headed by a Superior Court judge,To hear testimoniesFrom soldiers and Gaza residents,In public and in the presenceOf international observers.For the Israeli governmentThat is the lesser evil.
