Mr Miller said it was an "open question" whether the Israeli government had pursued a policy to commit war crimes or recklessly abetted them. But it was "almost certainly not an open question" that Israeli soldiers had carried them out, he said.

Too bad he and his Administration opposed holding Israel and Netanyahu accountable. Thus ensuring it remains an "open question". At least legally, if not in the court of public opinion.

Sort of like it might still be an "open question" were it not for the Nuremberg trials.
