It’s nearly two months since the Israeli attack on the freedom flotilla as it made its way towards Gaza laden with aid supplies. And there are no signs of the proposed "prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation." When the Security Council condemned the killings by Israeli military forces it also “took note” of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s proposal for an international investigation of the incident. No impartial, independent report on Israel’s act of terror has even been initiated. Could it be because Norman Finkelstein, a scholar and political scientist told IPS that Israel is now preparing for an attack on Lebanon, that “will be an assault next to which previous ones pale by comparison. And it is because Ban Ki-moon has been delinquent in his responsibilities that Israel will be able to launch this monstrous attack. Lebanon? Me thinks Iran. But hey, since they’re in the neighborhood…why not make it a Day…I see Military Trade Show written all over this thing. Hillary Clinton can be the ‘car-show’ girl in the bikini lounging on a missile….It could happen.
