It really is so simple.
If you don't partake in a process you look very silly complaining that your view was not represented.

Well it doesn't sound like the smartest idea, but you have to consider the following:
- a mistrust against the UN, I think MH's opinion about it is representative for the Israeli citizens
- military reasons to keep certain informations classified
- like any military of the world, the IDF has their amount of bureaucracy. It took the Tzahal several weeks to give away all the infos after the Ship to Gaza incident, and this was a small event in comparision to the Operation Cast Lead.
I wonder how many people, who took the report as a proof of war crimes, will now revise their opinions. My bet is that the numbers will be small.
This conflict seems to attract more ideological people than people who want to see it rational.
