Amira Hass reports in Ha'aretz yesterday:
Israel's military prosecution announced Tuesday that no legal steps will be taken against those responsible for the killing of 21 members of the Samouni family during the 2009 Operation Cast Lead in Gaza.
In response to the ruling, B'Tselem attorney Yael Stein said, "It cannot be that in a well-managed system no person will be found guilty of the army operation that led to the killing of 21 people who were not involved in combat, and resided in a structure on the instructions of the army – even if the attack was not done purposefully."
"The manner in which the army rids itself of responsibility in this case… again illustrates the need for an investigatory body outside of the army," she added.
With such impunity for war crimes and crimes against humanity a benchmark of the Israeli state, any hope for real justice is futile.  Below is the story of the Israeli military's willful murder of the Samouni family's men, women, and children, as reported in relevant sections of the Goldstone Report (PDF, pages 159-168).

O so called Muslims. Read it. Then remember your hypocrisy during the Toulouse shooting.



Taghoet Boubakeur, rector of the Great Mosque of Paris seen with a with red tie was indignant after the events of Toulouse. However, in 2009, but in 2009 there was no word of criticism against the Israeli authorities for their massacre against our children.
