When NatSec Daily asked Israel Defense Forces spokesperson NADAV SHOSHANI whether Israel plans on investigating, he at first waived off the question, calling the reports “fake news.”
Asked if that means Israel won’t investigate the mass grave reports, Shoshani said: “Investigate what?” He then added that Israel has already looked into the matter and found that there was no wrongdoing. “We gave answers. We don’t bury people in mass graves. Not something we do.”
Shoshani didn’t provide details of that investigation or who Israel provided answers to specifically.
“The Israelis have told us privately what they’ve said publicly, that they totally reject the allegations,” a U.S. official told NatSec Daily, granted anonymity to detail private conversations. “We aren’t in a position to validate that, and would like a thorough and transparent investigation into the reports.”
A, “You stand accused of shooting someone to death.”
B, “That is a serious accusation.”
A, “Yes, we won’t stand for it. It is against our values.”
B, “Well whoever told you that I shot someone to death is lying.”
A, “You fool, we can’t just take your word for that. We are assigning an investigator to look into this. B, can you please look into this for us.”
B, “Of course!”
B, “B didn’t do it. May the record state that B is innocent, has a huge dong, and is a generous lover.”
A, “Case closed. Justice is served.”
