Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to let soldiers speak to tribunal

What lesson has the nation of Israel forgot, that they themselves coined the phrase "NEVER AGAIN" for?
A phrase that was not coined for one race but ALL races, lest the world has learned nothing from the loss of so many lives and not just those of Jewish origin during WWII.
No one is above the law

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted Israel will not cooperate with an international war-crimes tribunal, set up to investigate the army assault on militants in the Gaza Strip ten months ago.

The PM has told the Knesset that he would never allow soldiers and war-time leaders to go before the UN war crimes panel.

Mr Netanyahu described a report by UN representative and former war crimes prosecutor Richard Goldstone as a distorted view on Israel's right to defend itself.

He said Israel would not accept Israeli soldiers being treated as war criminals after defending Israeli lives against an "inhuman" enemy.
