State Comptroller Shapira announced on August 13, that he will investigate war crimes in Gaza, joining an earlier decision of the UN to conduct a similar enquiry. The head of the UN Committee is on the editorial board of the Israel Law Review. The Life Censorship in Israel$ is easily bypassed. “As quoted from foreign news sources” are the magic words that render the Military Censor powerless. Israeli sources willing to bypass censorship leak the news to an Arabic newspaper and then quote it. The trademark of this trickery is that the Hebrew source will in such a case forget to mention the Arabic source. The scam masters are Yediot Ahronot and Haaretz, the leading Hebrew newspapers. Hardworking journalists in these outlets do not need to spend white-nights searching for a cooperating Arabic newspaper. Al-Hayat (The Life) in London is happy to comply.
