The commission set up by Israel to investigate the raid of a Gaza bound flotilla has been unsurprisingly welcomed by White House officials. This is despite the fact that:
(1) It will be headed and dominated by Israeli citizens,
(2) Denies a vote to the foreign observing members,
(3) Does not appear to possess a mandate to examine the Israeli government's decision making role in the raid and,
(4) Will no be allowed to interview the soldiers that were involved.
Manifestly the composition and scope of the commission lacks credibility. If there is to be an inquiry, it must be international and genuinely independent. Otherwise it will be nothing more than self serving propaganda.
