Israel tries (or pretends to try if you prefer) to deal with war criminals within their own ranks - and some don't believe that they're capable of doing it.


Who is some? Which human rights groups believe Israel is capable of examining this issue without a
conflict of interest? This group has been record keeping on Israeli policy for many years and currently this is their opinion.

The investigative apparatus is not structured to investigate top political and military officials responsible for policy and directives.

The MAG has a dual role: He gives legal counsel to the military before and during combat, yet is responsible for deciding on indicting those who violated the law. Where unlawful orders were issued following the MAG’s legal counsel, there is an inherent conflict of interests.
