Human Rights Watch has issued a report that accuses both Israel and Hamas of failing to investigate the alleged war crimes according to Goldstone’s recommendations ^[1]. No doubt, HRW is right on this: IDF resorted to a huge coverup, while Hamas simply ignored the UN’s demands.

A bigger issue surfaces here: if the legitimate elected governments of both countries are satisfied with their mode of military operations, what’s the international community’s business? The war produced no external casualties: only the subjects of those two governments were harmed. If those subjects are dissatisfied with the 2009 war measures, they can elect a new government, which would conduct proper investigations. But there is no basis for international involvement.
