srael will be vindicated, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu vowed during his weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday morning, ahead of the UN fact-finding mission's report on the IDF's conduct during Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.
"We will expose the truth: that Israel has not committed war crimes," Netanyahu said.
"We will work everywhere, for as much as it takes, to deal with false claims and anti-Israeli initiatives," he continued. "This report shows the true facts and proves that the actions carried out by the IDF were made in accordance with international law."
Netanyahu's remarks follow the publication of a report from eleven top military officials noting Israel far exceeded international standards regarding protecting civilian lives during the war.
“Our overall findings are that during Operation Protective Edge last summer, in the air, on the ground and at sea, Israel not only met a reasonable international standard of observance of the laws of armed conflict, but in many cases significantly exceeded that standard,” the report concludes. “We saw clear evidence of this from the upper to the lower levels of command."

he doesn’t get it and i’m shocked. Those that hate him and Israel won’t care what evidence he has.
But they can hit Israel in the purse with ridiculous stamping of goods made in Israel. That’s very disconcerting.
Having watched Israel for close to 3 decades, I’ve always been amazed at their restraint regarding the self-called Palestinians.
Don't be silly, of course he knows it. The people whom he is attempting to reach with this don't know it and are being bombarded with lies. About the rest, he doesn't care what they think.
gotcha. The problem might be that the left is great at lobbing accusations without proof.
By the time a country or person clears themselves, all that is remembered is the vicious accusation.
So just call them liars, give an example or two, and go on. Ignore any more noise thereafter until it's obvious to everyone. Then, warn them once. If they don't shut up, have them ejected. It's all one can do.
I wish he would tell it all. I’m not sure why he’s being so restrained.
We’re small and surrounded by enemies (and the Arabs are also real mean). Even back in 1948, every time Israel was gaining ground, the UN pushed for a cease fire. Every time the Arabs were gaining ground, crickets. In 1956, Eisenhower pressured Israel, England and France to unilaterally give up their clear victory and all attendant gains, because Russia threatened to intervene directly, and Ike didn’t want a head-on confrontation. Eurabia, whose international symbol should be the ostrich, continues to offer up pieces of us to the crocodile. If we don’t use more than the required restraint, they all start making angry chimp noises and shouting “Jewish Nazis” and calling for sanctions with froth in their mouths. If we do, they still make angry chimp noises and call us “Jewish Nazis,” and call for sanctions, but without the froth.
