Недавно посетил довольно интересное место - Бустан Левона. Собирался рассказать об экзотических фруктах
да к концу визита хозяин разговорился об истории семьи. Я немного знал эту историю но тут услышал кое-что новенькое.

Итак слово Иосефу Лишанскому.

Ответ на этот вопрос вы узнаете в конце поста.

Я с детства интересовался шахматами и шашками. Одно время был почти профессиональным игроком в шашки. Поэтому шахматные и шашечные мотивы в исскустве всегда привлекали мое внимание. Так вот должен отметить полное отсутствие политкорректности по отношению к шашкам. О шахматах пишут романы.

Support Israeli Human Rights Groups' Call For An Independent Investigation Into Operation Cast Lead

Dear Supporter,

The Goldstone Report has re-ignited the debate over Israel's conduct in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead. The controversy over the report has been fierce and often ugly. But more and more people, in and outside of Israel and from a variety of perspectives, are realizing that a credible, independent Israeli investigation into the conduct of the Israeli forces in Gaza is the only way to move forward, both to demonstrate that Israel is committed to the rule of law and to provide some justice to all those who suffered. 

Such an investigation is precisely what B'Tselem and other Israeli human rights organizations have been demanding since the end of Cast Lead. U.S. support is crucial to make this demand a reality and for this we need your help. Click here to send a letter to your Representatives and Senators, as well as President Obama, urging them to support a credible, impartial, Israeli investigation.

At the UN Human Rights Council's first discussion of the Goldstone Report, Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner said, "[The United States] encourage(s) Israel to utilize appropriate domestic review procedures and meaningful accountability mechanisms to investigate and address all credible allegations of misconduct or violations of international law." This is the kind of support we need more of from the United States.

A recent Senate letter stated that "Israel is in the process of conducting numerous investigations for which it should be commended not condemned." Israel has indeed opened a few military police investigations into soldiers' conduct in Cast Lead. Some of these were the result of B'Tselem documentation. However, there have been no investigations into the larger questions regarding the overall aims and policies concerning the fighting: were civilian buildings and infrastructure defined as legitimate military targets and if so, by whom? Were soldiers properly instructed regarding the obligation to safeguard civilians? Why were civil police forces targeted on the first day of the operation?

These and other pressing questions, such as the very troubling specific cases documented in the Goldstone report, cannot be answered by isolated military police investigations; they require investigation into decisions made by the highest military and civilian echelons.

Israeli human rights organizations have called for the establishment of a comprehensive, independent, impartial inquiry. Supporters of Israel must make clear that domestic accountability is in Israel's own self-interest as well as in the interest of justice for the civilians on both sides killed, injured and made homeless in Operation Cast Lead.
