The most moral army in the world (re-loaded)

Israeli Defense Forces’ Chief of Staff, Gabi Ashkenazi, said today that the IDF was one of the most moral armies in the world, and more specifically, among the armies in the region. This response comes after the release of Goldstone’s UN report on alleged crimes of war in operation Cast Lead last winter. Quoted from Haaretz (emphasis mine):

"But I want to say more than this," he added. "Before all the reports, immediately after the end of the operation, we investigated ourselves. Since then and up until now, we have held a process of investigation, including appeals from Palestinians."

He went on to say that from an ethical point of view, the IDF was a "light among nations."

Where have I listen this before? Oh, I remember now. Here.

I won’t repeat myself writing again the same...
