JERUSALEM -- Israel has rejected calls from the United Nations and others for an international investigation of its deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.

Israel says the commandos used force only after activists on board a Turkish flagship attacked them. Nine of the activists were killed.

(snip)

An official in the prime minister's office says there is "no case in recent history" where a democratic country's army involved in the deaths of civilians in an overseas operation has been subjected to an international investigation.

“.. there is “no case in recent history” where a democratic country’s army involved in the deaths of civilians in an overseas operation has been subjected to an international investigation”

OUCH. Touche.

But bambi’s predator war in Pakistan may soon come under international review, eh? Not to mention our combat operations in Afghanistan Iraq and elsewhere.

Especially since bambi’s marxist team wants to cuddle up to the ICC.
