Now that the war is over, all the Israeli media is talking about is the need for an investigation into what went wrong. The two main options are a commission led by a supreme court justice or a parliamentary commission. Both have their flaws. The former focuses on legal matters and the latter would just become a stage for politicians to make themselves heard.
Journalist and historian Tom Segev of Haaretz says there should be a committee of historians who will investigate the matter. He says it is first and foremost a social and cultural issue more than a military issue. I agree with him, but I don't think historians are enough. This commission needs to have political scientists, sociologists, psychologists and experts from other relevant social sciences, as well as military experts.

Perhaps they can investigate why Israel just does not want any peace anymore:
ReplyDeletea) Israelis can't stick to peace agreements
b) Why they lie one way to their own people and another way to the world
c) What all this cross-dressing as lebanese soldiers the Israeli elite commandos are doing?
I suspect it is because America is asking Israel to 'pay up' for all the support over the years.

They were trying to get their abducted sodliers back (the ones that caused the war)
Why don't they just do a stock standard prisoner swap like every other time before? They have just gone and made Hezbollah even stronger than before.
