World Speaking to reporters after he met with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he told Ban the United Nations should suspend plans to set up an inquiry into Israel's May 31 interception of a six-ship convoy heading to the Gaza Strip, in which nine Turks died. "We expressed our view that for the time being, as long as ... new flotillas are in the preparation, it's probably better to leave it (a U.N. investigation) on the shelf for a certain time," Barak said. He said the five-person panel Israel has established, which includes two foreign observers, would be sufficient for now. "We are moving ahead with our independent investigation, which we believe is clearly independent, reliable, credible and should be allowed to work," Barak said. It was not clear if Barak meant Israel might accept Ban's proposal at a later date. He declined to take questions. Lebanon said earlier on Monday it would allow an aid ship bound for the Gaza Strip to sail despite warnings from Israel that it had the right to use all necessary means to stop ships that try to sail from Lebanon to Gaza. The Turkish group that sent the flotilla intercepted by the Israelis on May 31 has also vowed to send more ships to the blockaded territory, home to 1.5 million Palestinians and ruled by Hamas Islamists since 2007. Barak said it was "a bit irresponsible" for anyone to grant permission for more aid ships to sail for Gaza. "It's well known that we asked all of them, as we asked the previous flotilla, to join us and go through (the Israeli port of) Ashdod," he said. "We cannot accept someone who will just try to sail directly to Gaza," Barak said about the Lebanese ship. "We see the government of Lebanon as responsible. ... There could be friction which could lead to violence, which is totally unnecessary." Nine pro-Palestinian activists were killed on May 31 when Israeli commandos boarded one of the vessels heading to the Gaza Strip in defiance of an Israeli naval blockade. Israel says the marines opened fire after being attacked by activists wielding knives, slingshots, metal bars and clubs. Ban said on Friday he would press ahead with the establishment of an independent inquiry, which would include both Turkish and Israeli participation. "I've been telling them (Israel) that my proposal is not incompatible with Israel's national investigation," Ban said. Barak added he briefed Ban on Israel's decision to ease its embargo of Gaza, which came under renewed international criticism after the May 31 raid.

So the Israeli Defense Minister thinks the Israeli defense industry investigation is “independent, reliable and credible”, maybe he should be checked for psychoactive drugs. Either that or he thinks the rest of the world is a bunch of morons. Independent: politics not belonging to, representing, or supporting any political party. Nope not independent. Reliable: able to be trusted to be accurate or to provide a correct result. Nope not reliable. Credible: inspiring trust and confidence. Nope not Credible. Whitewash: a coordinated attempt to hide unpleasant facts, especially in a political context, BINGO! WhosOnFirst Report As Abusive Jun 21, 2010 7:49pm EDT Mathew 18:18, You design your own afterlife with the way you treat others. Your actions peg what you consider to be acceptable in the treatment of souls. Therefore, one can expect to have done unto you as you have done unto others. If you do unto others what you would not accept being done unto yourself then you put yourself in the category of “not too bright”. So do you support an apartheid state that would create giant open air prisons, the bombing of civilian populations areas with white phosphorus, the destruction of homes, schools and businesses as collective punishment and the slow starvation of children as acceptable behavior for yourselves, your children and your neighbors or would you stand up for healing the world. WhosOnFirst Report As Abusive Jun 21, 2010 10:00pm EDT The Israeli Defense Minister says, “…new flotillas are in the preparation, it’s probably better to leave it (a U.N. investigation) on the shelf for a certain time” The relation between the attack on ships in the High Seas and the killing of 9 civilian passengers, and the new flotillas heading to Gaza, is mysterious. Is it because Israel wants both to be investigated at the same time? If so, Israel could apply, when indicted, to include in the investigation crimes committed before being arraigned. This is quite a common practice in Western criminal justice systems. A note to Mr. Barack: since the US is about the only foreign country to which he can travel without an arrest warrant issued by victims of various wars, and those injured in the flotilla. This suggests that the Israeli ‘commandos’ this time have to be careful. If an American of an Anglo-Saxon extraction was hurt in the new flotilla, he might find his family demanding his arrest here too. The fact that the US administration did care much about the American who was killed in the first flotilla is probably because he is of a Turkish extraction! Further, His family could do little to bring justice to his memory, since they live in Turkey and are not US nationals.
