Netanyahu: Gaza flotilla probe will show the world Israel acted lawfully

Maybe one day I will understand jewish logic. You are a religious group that somehow feel you are owed a piece of dirt to call your own. Almost every other country in the world, thoughout history, has been based on nationality but israel is based on judaism, a flawed religion at best. It is a religion based on violence and provocation. I am an athiest and don't believe in any sort of supreme being, although I tend to allow others to "do their thing" as long as they don't interfere with my feelings. However, judiaism is like a gorilla in a china shop, throwing its weight around telling others what to do and then whining when they are accused of being prejudicial. When your stuff stops stinking, then you have the right to correct others. Until that day comes, back off and be quiet. There is an ever increasing number of nations that are leaning more and more away from israel and judiasm. It is NOT because of the anti-semetism that you think, but because of the anti-semetism that you are causing. When you learn to live with the rest of the world peacefully and stop blaming everyone else when they don't agree with you, you will be on the road to recovery. Until then you will be perceived as the bully that you are.

is that,while they themselves have already "condemned" Israel before any probe has been set and before any results have been made known,they find it strange that the Israeli PM expresses his opinion that the probe will show Israel acted legally. In other words,they believe their "truth" is the absolute truth,even if it is a blatant lie.

Murder is not right, killing 9 civilians on an Aid Ship is totally unacceptable, it's a War Crime.

It is state terrorism and it is something Israel will never be able to live down. The whole world hates Israel now That isn't going away but I imagine will escalate.. Dutch

you know whats really 'funny'?? David Trimble, one of the 'independent observers' has joined, 2 weeks ago, a group called 'Friends of Israel'!!! LOL why doing 'investigations' at all??

Israel arranges an impartial investigation with international observers and it's not enough. Israel called your bluff and now that you see you have no real cards, you cry that the game is rigged. Have any Arab countries ever held any type of investigation into their actions with international observers. Iran? Syria? PA? Hamas?(HA) Saudi Arabia? Egypt? Libya? I'm open to suggestions...anyone? And, has the US or the UK allowed the UN to investigate actions by their armies in Iraq or Afghanistan...or Vietnam for that matter? No sane country would allow themselves to be served up to their enemies masquerading as concerned international nations while they oppress their populations at home.

"A friend of israel" on the jury! How about a friend of the Palestinians?

So, now comes the time for the cover up, as usual. This routine is getting to be all too familiar. It looks like the results of the investigation has already been announced before the investigations have even taken place. World is no longer deaf dumb and blind and God is certainly watching everything that you do.

The conclusion has already been decided, whats the point of an 'investigation' the accused has just said "Gaza flotilla probe will show the world Israel acted lawfully"

that IHH terrorists prepared and preplanned the attack on IDF soldiers They wanted martyrdom. - They got martyrdom. Turkish Erdogan is a scoundrel. He knew the result of raid. His task was to blame israel. You all know it now very well, but you continue to pretend that videos do not exist. Interview with the Turkish captain left no doubts about involvement of Turkish terrorists from IHH. The probe will make it more clear to the world

I never doubted it! God Bless Israel!!!

The damage is already done...what ever the truth. This is how it works, as with the Al Dura hoax. The Arabs and the anti-semitic media rush to tell the anti-Israel story, but never follow up with the truth. Even today we have the ICRC saying that the Gaza 'seige' is illegal. Of course it is not. But this statement will be broadcast unchallenged around the world. This is what Israel is up against - evil!

Isn't this the reason for insisting on an internal probe instead on an international probe? This probe's mandatory is to justify Israeli piracy.

yeah, I don't have to be psychic to know what the conclusion is going to be

that israel will find itself gulity of mass murder! Get real

The main point of the probe should be to reveal in an unbiased and objective fashion what really happened during the flotilla raid ... not to "prove to the world that the Israel Navy operation on the Gaza-bound aid ship was appropriate and met international standards." Nethanyahu is making no secret that the probe will not be impartial and that rather it will be used as a propaganda tool by the Israeli government. Unbelievable..

... Dore Gold has been a so devoted a chauvanistic supporter of Israel's right-wing for so many yearsfor, that Bibi couldn't-go-wrong with this choice of adviser...

once again Israel plays the victim when it is in fact the aggressor and the western world saddled with its self inflicted collective guilt of the Jewish suffering in WW2 will continue to deny the Palestinians their right to freedom and their homeland.Israel will continue to do as it pleases just the same way the US and its allies did in the Irag war...because they can....remember that in the history of time ..this is just one moment...Israel will for sure some day suffer the same consequences that it makes other suffer now....and the western world will come to rue its selfish, blatantly bias and self interested support...Much of the western world is as guilty as Israel for the atrocities it commits in the middle east in the name of security.

all that squawking you did about Goldstone having a predetermined opinion,(in your head). Any comments on Bibi,s ruling.

getting ptetty sick of everyone blaming Israel when islamisrt caused this.. In every way!.

The history of Israel borders the insane. In Israel's eyes on what they approve or taint is lawful, everything else is God promised, anti semitic, dangerous neighborhood, self hating jew, not share by your western values, the pals listened to their leaders to run away, "exodus " is legal but Mavi Marmara is not, blockade and cilantro go hand in hand to pressure Hamas, Berlin wall is illegal our is legal, absentee law is humane, plant a tree in israel but uproot the pal's olive trees, and certainly we did not kill Mabhouh. Get a life.

If Israel did in fact act legally and according to law, then no one would have been killed. 9 people were killed and are now dead, 9 counts of murder on the high seas. Now either they are incompetent or guilty but they are not not guilty and they are as well and also by this charade in contempt of justice and the world. Please Israel for the sake of your integrity and honor, sentence the responsible parties accordingly and appropriately. thank you.

Israel broke the law and now plans to change the interpretation to make the action leagal. If you make it leagal to kill, it will only hit back on you.

the results before the proble? how come! oh, yes, this is Israel. One has to learn to cancel his logic and mins and senses to be able to understand Israeli officials these days

Once a liar, always a liar!..

that's how the inquiry conclusion is already decided. so much credibility for an Israeli inquiry. If it's legal why not an international and neutral inquiry to pr ove Israeli contention. When Gaza blockade itself is illegal as declared by UN how a raid can be legal in International waters.

indeed recently (2 weeks ago) joined the group 'friends of Israel'. This is getting soooo predictable. So Israel still refuses a REAL investigation, there is clearly a lot to hide.

I cannot see how people can still support this regime! While killing people, then investigating onself and always claiming the role of victims while hijacking the moral highground, how does the world keep turning a blind eye and yet exclaim "never again!!!". Utterly disgusting and sad at the same time!!

David Trimble = member of Friends of Israel, background as supporter of Brittish occupation of Northern Ireland, so likely to have sympathy for another occupation state. Ken Watkin = military jurist, a profession generally for whitewashing and working around the law. Also convert to judaism; many Jews have integrity (for example Goldstone), but one hand-picked by Bibi for a whitewashing committee, not likely.

Either the "independent public committee" is not independent form Netanyahu, or Netanyahu can't possibly know if this committee will prove this or that. Honestly, if Netanyahu can't tell "prove that..." from "investigate if..." and if he declares this publicly without blinking eye, then the country is ruled by a mad clown.

Wow, at least we now know how reactionary and brainwashed so many respondents are. What these simps fail to realize is that an event like that described doesn't happen in a vacuum. And furthermore, how the heck can you berate somebody for an agenda you IMAGINE they have, when you are clearly ESPOUSING an agenda of your own? How can these respondents take themselves seriously? After all, there are people going out of their way to justify their actions in paint-by-numbers terms, simply because of your vehement anti-semitism. Take a breath and step away.

Okay so it wasn't just me who saw that freudian slip from Netanyahu. In all honesty this has 90% chance of being a white wash and a 10% chance of credibility. I was hoping it was appear a little more legit, i just hope one of these observers spits the dummy at the whole thing half way through.

There is nothing leagal for exucuting 19 year old with 5 shots in the head, 30 shots total on 9 killed just like Goldstone report, Israel will reject if it was other way around anyways, please stop, how to fix this is to Israel should send high level representetives to Turkey and form a convoy and visit every killed Turkish citizens family and offer them condolences with restitutions, and distrubute Israel and Turkish Flags to every city or village alone the way and I assure you it will make all the difference in the World to get the things the way they were just an idea,

Israel you are the funniest joke in the world, LOL. and sure you would, report on rubbish like this Mr Barak Ravid

So your going to pervert the illegal act the whole world witnessed and saw into a post legal one by slight of law, persuasion and trickery? Don't bother, sounds boring to watch anyway and I saw the original. Looked like unprovoked manslaughter to me.

The conclusions of the report are already known. Israel acted legally. This is exactly the reason I will not believe a word of it. The inquiry is not an inquiry : It is one more try to whitewash israel.

Israel is trying to convince the world of the imparitality of a committee it set up with a complete conflict of interest. Instead, the committee should be set up like an American court system: jurors are selected by both sides with peremptory and for-cause challenges under a judge (ICC random selection?) and an investigatory tribunal held. Let a jury of 13 be selected and their decision be final and two-thirds vote as to all findings. (That part is not typical of an American jury.)

'Gaza flotilla probe will show the world Israel acted legally' Does anyone have any doubt what the outcome will be? It's nice there's something we can all agree on.

I can't even listen to this guy anymore. The lies! ... makes me ashamed to be a Jew.

How will the probe be impartial if Netanyahu already knows the outcomes. "Probe will prove we acted legally."

Why not some balance by including a member of ISM. David Trimble is a criminal who murdered people in Northern Ireland and will be quite at home in the compamy of Zionist criminals . Israel is finished--I give it ten more years and then it will be consigned to the bin of History under the heading of, "Failed States".

So Bibi now knows the result in advance! What is the point of the probe then?! If you want to waste your time be my guest, but after reading this piece I now know for sure who was the terrorist.

Well if the outcome of the probe has already been predetermined, why bother with it at all? Its just for "show" then is it, alrighty then. How much are the tickets?

Netanyahu: Gaza flotilla probe will show the world Israel acted legally Advanced conclusions, military people and members of the Friends of Israel. What a joke. No wonder the world does not believe anything the Israelis say and do.

Israel has become a threat to the safety of Jews. Far from the rhetoric, that Israel is a refuge, Israel has become a pariah state. Jews worldwide are suffering for their support of Israel. Israel no longer represents the honor and decency of Judiasm. Israel has become the anti-semites dream, an ugly caricature of Judiasm. The sooner this farce is over the better it is for Jews worldwide.

Since the verdict is predetermined, why bother playing out the farce? I would have hoped for at lease some respect for our intelligence, maybe you could at least pretend this was an impartial inquiry? This is just going to be another Israeli atrocity whitewash.

Glad to hear that Netanyahu already knows the conclusions of this "independent" probe. With powers like these you'd think he would have done a better job of avoiding the killing of 9 people in the first place. Maybe later, since he's not travelling much these days, he can tell us who is going to win the World Cup?

An "independent" observer of the panel having joined the group "friends of Israel" 2 weeks ago....??? I mean, this is getting absolutely hilarious now, it has almost reached the slapstick level of Woody Allens earlier films....:

Of course the world will believe Zionists as usual Israel plays the game , once they declare (We will prove) then it is done , Media will make people think they have already proven that Israel was right I won't wonder if later the world's media will consider everybody on the flotilla as a terrorist , why not? it will certainly happen The same game : " We Israelians we are the innocent peaceful people.. we just want those Muslims to leave us alone , and we won't harm them" Yet , whenever there is a peaceful reaction from Muslims it is considered as an act of terrorism and fought with fire. Yes world is BLIND

Well why go through the whole probe if he knows the results from now:) ?? I might save some of my tax shekels this way

Why don't we just let criminals prosecute and judge themselves from now on?? Israel as always is acting as a spoiled bratt!!! That will come to an end very soon.

"The independent public committee will prove that the IDF raid on the Gaza-bound ship met international standards, PM says at start of cabinet meeting." This is like being told the result of a World Cup match before the kick off. We all know the fix is about to take place, the only interest is in watching how skilfully the fix is carried out. This article suggests that Bibi seems to be handling the fix with his usual mix of arrogance and incompetence.

In making a probe, if the result is given beforehand? An Israeli probe on Israeli terms is worthless considering the current goverments nonexistant credibility!
