this is well documented, to recognize israel immediately and to help get the united nations general assemblyo accept the partition of palestine when it was a jewish state and a palestinian state. so played a key role. but he was not lying or spinning in that case. the real lying in spending that took place at that point in time had to do with what the scientists as shortly thereafter the israelis to the palestinians to create the state of israel. the fact is that the land that is today israel was once filled with many more palestinians and jews. in 1948 the israelis had to ethnically cleanse the palestinians to created jewish state that was a lot 80 percent jewish and 20 percent palestinian. as you can imagine, the israelis did not want the world, especially the americans, to know they gazed and at book cleansing. they invented a series of missile what happened that made it look like the palestinians were responsible for their own demise and not the israelis themselves. but this was not true. >> host: john mearsheimer, "why leaders lie." was it of fun book to look right? speech you very much

and this comes to us now also from a special panel of experts that the united nations secretary generalppointed to look into these questions. >> suarez: you say you issued this report a year ago. why do you think there was so little international interest in killing on this scale? >> i think the reality is that all of us recognize that the tamil tigers, the l.t.t.e., were a terrorist organization that carried out horrendous acts themselves. suicide bombings, et cetera. ma what we basically said, though, is this cannot justify a government and its armed forces carrying out essentially the same kinds of acts of war crimes and violations of humanitarian law. unfortunately, there is no immediate venue for someone to carry out the investigation because the government refused to permit international human rights or other kinds of inquiries. >> suarez: as you heard, the ambassador talked about the lessons learned reconciliation commission. a sri lankan investigation into the events of the final months of the war and said because of the existence of that commission sri lanka not cooperate with
