In what is a continuation of yesterday's article, "Accounts of Gaza Killings Raise Furor in Israel," Ethan Bronner pursues the release of a series of testimonies by Israeli soldiers about their conduct during January's Gaza offensive. Although no evidence exists of systematic abuse, NYT is eager to report any information that will cast a pall over Israel's decision to enter Gaza to fight Hamas.
The most important part of the article is reportage about the military advocate general's decision to investigate the allegations. This decision is what makes Israel unique. No matter how limited the infraction, Israel willingly examines its own conduct for the sake of improving it.
