Israeli aggression on Lebanon
July 2006
Do you know what kind of weapons causes this damage?
Beirut
July 21st, 2006
I left the office early last night ; at midnight.
There was only one devastating picture yesterday : that of two people who were killed in air strikes on Akkar,(the poorer area) in the north, late Wednesday night.
Both corps were black, both were dismembered , both were "weird". I don't think it matters anymore to try to prove that Israel is using unconventional , forbidden weapons .. that would only prove that it should have used "allowed" weapons. Who cares, people are dying anyway. And whatever weapons are being used , the pollution they're creating will kill the survivors from cancer later.
The rest of the pictures were less devastating, conventional : demolished houses, wiped out villages and towns, more refugees , some of them starving, lovely babes on board of US marines ships and colored people from poor countries lining up in front of embassies hoping they will get them out of this hell.
The really devastating pictures will came later , much later, some day when all this will stop maybe we'll be able to visit the ruins of whole villages. But even then it might be too late : how long does it take corps buried under rubbles to disintegrate and vanish ?
Anyway , so I left the office early and went home with my friend who's staying with us because his house is in the southern suburb of Beirut. I was a bit worried because my brother in law , Khalil's brother, was there too and I was wondering if I'd be able to manage space for everybody to sleep comfortably.
Raed, my brother in law, and his eight-month pregnant wife , had left Jebshit in the south yesterday morning. They reached Beirut by 5:00 pm.
They had crossed a bridge in Habbouche who'd been targeted only once . It was destroyed but cars were still able to find a way through. Half an hour after Raed had crossed the bridge, it was bombed again and completely demolished this time (sounds like an Indian movie, right?). Of course Raed knew nothing about that , he trying to make out to Saida, then up to Baakline in the Shouf then way down back to Beirut.
When I got home , I asked if they had dinner. I was a bit ashamed because my fridge is empty. I hadn't had time lately to buy grocery and I'm "heavily" relying on milk to feed Kinda, my daughter. "Dinner ?" Raed asked , "we had 9 shawarma sandwiches, Rana (his wife) and I. Today was the first time we eat in 3 days".
He tells stories about Jebshit. Sad ones. No electricity , no water, no roads, no food, no newspapers. Some villages even run out of batteries, so they can't even listen to the news on the radio. Funny, isn't it, that in Beirut we know more about what's going on than the people concerned. Raed only knew they blew the Habbouche bridge when he listened to the news after he reached Beirut.
I have to admit to all of you that I have very mixed, weird, sick feelings about all this.
The first three or four days were very strange. I was in Beirut , sitting in an air conditioned office, watching the devastation of the South and the southern suburb. It felt like when you watch news and pictures from Palestine and Iraq. You feel frustrated and concerned, but you know there's not much you can do for them, for mere geographical reasons, at least that's the excuse one uses to comfort one's self. But "this" was happening a few kilometers away and I'd still be sitting here watching.
The other weird feeling was related to the first one: I felt that I was paying my dues. The guilt feeling I've always had toward Palestine, and later towards Iraq, has diminished a little bit. I felt like hugging Palestine and Iraq and screaming to them "We're with you, like you: left alone, suffering and part of your cause, a great one."
Sometimes I just flip and cry. Cry because I'm so helpless and angry. And most of the time I turn on my "automatic engine on". I wake up at six , come to the office, report hideous stories , feel nothing about them , do my job : double check , choose "fantastic" headlines , pick up the "best" pictures, try to be as professional as one can be. I do that for 12 to 14 hours. I'd then go home, pick up my daughter from my mother's house , and go to bed at one. The Israelis love to start their raids at ten past one, sometimes at five past one. That's when I'm in bed. Every night, when they start, I rush out to the balcony to see where the smoke comes from. I live on the twelfth floor. Every night , when I go out , I see the moon , my lovely moon , shyly hiding behind the clouds caused by the fires that are surrounding my Beirut.
This morning , I stayed home till 12:00. I played with Kinda. My poor little baby. She doesn't understand what's going on. She keeps asking about her cousins. She looks at their pictures and keeps repeating their names; as if it was an exercise not to forget them. I tell her they're in the mountains, and that we can't go there. When they call us, she refuses to talk to them. She thinks they abounded her.
The first time she heard the bombing, she rushed to my arms asking me if this was fireworks . I said " no , this is boum boum , ha ha ha " and started laughing. So now, every time she hears the bombing she starts singing "boum boum " and she laughs.
I left her at noon. She was sleepy, and wouldn't go to bed. It took a few minutes to realize the reason : she wanted to fall asleep in my arms. Before July the 12th, I would not move at her bed time. I'd put her on my lap , sing to her until she sleeps. For 10 days now, she's been sleeping in the stroller at my mother's house: only to guaranty that I will come pick her up when I finish working.
Two last notes: I feel ashamed talking about my daughter while other people's kids were either killed or lack of food and shelter. But I feel so guilty towards her.
Second : to all the Israelis who have been sending their comments on what I write , I say this : I agree with you , we are savages , blood lovers, we don't have feelings, and we actually enjoy looking at the pictures of victims. Actually , each time we see one , we party and dance. And in my writings, I'm only pretending to have feelings , and being pathetically sentimental only to bluff. Here, I'm admitting it. And to all my friends in the west : don't believe anything I say , cause I'm only viciously using you and trying to turn you into sympathizers of fundamental terrorism.

The attached pictures are hideously gruesome, but you have to look at them . Help me find out what kind of weapons cause this kind of dismemberment and mutation.
What kind of weapons cause this kind of damage? Do you know? Could you find out?
None of this is confirmed, or could be here and now. However, there are growing doubts that Israel might be using internationally forbidden weapons in its current aggression against Lebanon. News from "Southern Medical Center", a hospital in Saida( in South Lebanon) are not good. Dr. Bashir Sham, member of "French Association of Cardiovascular Surgeons", explains that the way the corps look when they reach the hospital, especially those of the air strikes in Doueir and Rmayleih, is very abnormal." One might think they were burnt , but their colour is dark , they're inflated, and they have a terrible smell" All this , and the hair is not burnt nor do the bodies bleed.
Eight of the victims of an air strike on Rmayleih bridge, near Saida, on the 15th of July, were transferred to Sham's hospital.
Sham says that only chemical poisonous substances "lead to instant death without bleeding".
And what indicates the power of these substances, is the high and unusual of number of dead victimes, compared to the number of injuries.
Sham thinks that whatever "abnormal " substance causing these features might penetrate through the skin, or another explanation would be that the missiles contained toxic gas that stopped the proper functioning of the nervous system, and led to blood clotting.
These toxic materials cause immediate death, within two to thirty minutes, according to Sham, who admits that these doubts can't be proven, not even by an autopsy.
The director of the same medical center, Ali Mansour, says that due to the strong smell of the corps, he couldn't breath properly for at least 12 hours after the corps were handled.
He explains that the center received eight bodies from Rmeileh last Monday, and none of them was bleeding.
Mansour tells us the hospital wrote to both the commissioner of the European Union for Foreign Affaires Javier Solana, and the United Nations Secretary general Kofi Anan. He said that dr Sham will communicate his doubts to the Doctors Order in Lebanon.

| Comment pos ted: by ricky_radical on 22 Jul 2006 - 05:55 | | Looks like a laser death ray forulated by the good old USA to be used for ethnic cleansing and collateral damage on it's own citizens in the name of terrorist a cts. The US right now has the most sophisticated weapons of mass destruction so my guess is that it came from them as a gift so they could see the results on l ive bodies. Now they know so watch out world the US Terrorism Team is headed to a developing nation very soon! |
| Comment pos ted: by franko on 22 Jul 2006 - 09:36 | | The powerful will always say and perversly believe that those less-privilidged a nd in need of compassion are savages or nothing more than animals, and without f eelings. That is how they justify their terrible treatment of them. To say other wise is an outrage and in itself an offense worthy of the same treatment. The sa ddest part of all of this is the fact that most of those being mutilated and killed would never even have thought of hurting anyone like this. Might is right is not only ugly, it is sickening, and the only policy that the USA and its allies seems to know. Share what you see here, let everyone know how ugly our leaders are in heart and spirit to think that this is the right way to broker peace. |
| Comment pos ted: by litost on 22 Jul 2006 - 14:52 | | maybe it could be white phosphorus like the US marines used in Fallujah. |
| Comment pos ted: by angry on 22 Jul 2006 - 22:35 | It doesn't matter what kind of weapon has been used. These people would have bee n killed with 'normal' bombs anyway. It really doesn't matter. The crime is that a civilian population was bombed, that's all. People in Rwanda were mostly kill ed with machetes. Would have it make a difference if they had been killed with g uns?

| Comment pos ted: by mickell on 23 Jul 2006 - 00:38 | Casualties in pictures indicate
My research (though not conslusive) leads to the probability of one of two WMD's (Probably supplied to Israel by the United States)
1). A newer form of Napalm (same as has been reported by returning soldiers bein g used in parts of Afganistan)
2). A high frequency laser weapon (not admitted by the US Government, but suspec ted to exist).
I have e-mailed a couple of veteran's with pictures of bodies attached and am wa iting for a conformation.

Many thanks to Stephen Marks for drawing my attention to this Juan Cole post.
.From Rasha [a young woman] in Beirut: "Dear All, I am drafting this entry in th is unusual diary at 11:30 pm. I have about half an hour before the generator shu ts down. Most of Beirut is in the dark. I dare not imagine what the country is l ike. Today was a relatively calm day, but like most calm days that come immediat ely after tumultuous days, it was a sinister day of taking stock of damage, pulling bodies from under destroyed buildings, shuttling injured to hospitals that have the capacity to tend to their wounds more adequately. The relative calm allowed journalists to visit the sites of shelling and violence. The images from Tyre, and villages in the south are shocking. Images from Haret Hreyk (the neighborhood in the southern suburb that received the most "focused" shelling) are also astounding. The number of deaths is yet uncertain, it increases by the hour as bodies are pulled from the landscape of destruction. In the southern suburbs, some people may be trapped in underground shelters under the vestiges of their homes and apartment buildings. And yes, there is a problem of space in morgues in the south and the Beqaa, because none of the towns and villages are equipped to handle these numbers of deaths. The IDF has destroyed almost entirely the village of 'Aytaroun. Some of the surviving wounded are Canadian citizens. Like the 8 Canadians who died in the building in Tyre (a building that housed the red cross and civil rescue), the Canadian government has had very little regard for them. Evacuations, Privilege, Solidarity Today was a particularly strange day for me because I was granted an opportunity to leave tomorrow morning. I hold a Canadian passport. I was born in Toronto when my parents were students there. I left at age two. I have never gone back, for lack of opportunity and occasion, no other reason. I have the choice to sign up for the evacuation, but the European and North American governments have been so despicable, so racist that I don't want to subject myself to a discrimination of that sort. The Swedes, the Danes and the Germans have evacuated their patriots with blond hair and blue eyes. The immigrants that were given shelter to their countries "out of the kindness" of their governments have been systematically left behind; and the guest workers who stayed to enliven their economies and their babies who adjust the dynamism of their demographies, were left behind to fend for shelter under the shells. But I digress. The point I set out to make is that I refuse to be evacuated as a second tier denizen. I had the opportunity to leave tomorrow by car to Syria, then to Jordan and from there by plane to wherever I am supposed to be right now. For days I have been itching to leave because I want to pursue my professional commitments, meet deadlines and continue with my life. For days I have been battling ambivalence towards this war, estranged from the passions it has roused around me and from engagement in a cause. And yet when the phone call came informing me that I had to be ready at 7:00 am the next morning, I asked for a pause to think. I was torn. The landscape of the human and physical ravages of Israel's genial strategy at implementing UN Resolution 1559, the depth of destruction, the toll of nearly 250 deaths, more than 800 injured and 400,000 displaced, had bound me to a sense of duty. It was not even patriotism; it was actually the will to defy Israel. They cannot do this and drive me away. They will not drive me away. This is one of the most recurring mistakes that the IDF makes. This is how we see things: THEY have destroyed this country, THEY are taking an opportunity to turn it to rubble and to usher us into oblivion, if there is ambivalence vis-a-vis the wisdom of Hezbollah's capture of the two soldiers, there is unambiguous, unanimous solidarity to stand in the face of Israel's barbaric arrogance. Some people see more in this war, some people see a moment where the logic/values of the policies of the Moubaraks, the Abdullahs of the Arab world, i.e. the defeatist, pragmatic, corrupt sell-outs will be humiliated as well. And I am sure, other people see other things as well. The roads to Damascus are not safe. Its many different ways are shelled every day. Drivers know what "calculated" risks to take, I am assured, but one never knows. Every day the way out becomes more difficult. I decided to stay, I don't know when I will have another opportunity to leave. The first contingent of Britons was evacuated early this evening. There are two ships, but the evacuation will take place over 3 days. Same for the French and Americans, their evacuations will last for 2 days. While the evacuations are taking place, there was relative quiet. A welcome lull. There was activity in the street, even on the Corniche along the seaside. Refugees from the south, displaced from their homes and provided shelter in public schools strolled in Hamra, looking for a breath of fresh air. A break from the confinement in schools and other makeshift shelters. Imagine the horror, the sad, sad horror: we are on borrowed time and the only reason we are not under threat, under any serious threat is because the passport holders of some of the G8 countries are evacuating to safer harbors. With this relative calm, the sense of impending doom becomes almost palpable; time, space, light and movement are subsumed in an eerie stillness. It feels vaporous and fills the air. As it wafts from room to room, from apartment to apartment, as it turns a corner and moves to another neighborhood, every gesture, every act, is a little delayed, slowed, surreptitiously lethargic, every thought lingers too long in the unfinished or inchoate state. This eerie stillness numbs the passage of time and the cognitive perception of things material. Objects seem both familiar and unfamiliar. They are familiar in that they were there the day before and seem not to have moved from their place. They are unfamiliar because they seem to belong to another time, another life. There was another life, I had another life that seems distant and foreign now. The morning is different, noon is different, sunset is different. Another Beirut has emerged. War time Beirut. War time Lebanon. War time mornings, war time noons. Siege time Beirut, siege time morning, siege time sunsets. Everyone else in the world is going about their day as they had planned it or as it was planned for them. The shakers and movers of this world, the fledgling middle classes of the developping world, the 11 million child workers in India, the good-doers and the evil-doers. We are in a different geography of time, of agency, we are besieged, captive, hostage. No chance of Stockholm syndrome this time. Our every move is monitored: every moving vehicle delivering food, fuel, or medicines is monitored, every phone call is listened on, every email read, every dream snarled at, every desire crushed. Israel has the right to explode it to smithereens. The shelling has not really let, don't get me wrong. It still goes on but it's more occasional, there are more "blank spaces" in between now. Hezbollah These "siege notes" have been receiving a number of reponses from Israelis. I have to say that most are of the annoying sort. First, they always begin by noting that I am intelligent and I get commended for my intelligence like Colin Powell gets commended for his English language speaking skills and you wonder what those making these observations expect from you and the world in the first place. Second, they systematically mistake _expression of dissent and critique of Arab regimes and official discourse as some sort of favorable disposition towards Israel. In other words there is, falsely, a tautology between regarding Israel as an enemy country and endorsing radical ideologies of Islamic fundamentalism or rabid nationalism. As if being a democrat, an egalitarian and a feminist implied that one could not have even more profound grounds for being critical of Israel and regarding that country as an enemy country that has sponsored and produced nothing but war, violence, wretched- ness, misery, banditry and usurpation. And they [Israelis] are so heartened by my ambivalence towards this war they recommend that more conversations should take place between Israelis and myself. Of course, most propose that I make the effort to seek those Israeli interlocutors out. This extreme form of Habermas-mania, that assumes that deep conflicts can be "talked through", is the sumum of hubris. The experience of the peace process is telling: it is clear that Israelis cannot cannot cannot accept Palestinians as human beings whose humanity is of equal value as their own. This is the bottom line. And until that bottom line is changed, there is nothing that a member of a society that builds walls around itself to shut itself off from the world and shut the world from itself can tell me. Punto final. One of my impromptu (Israeli) commentators, warned of my candor, despaired at my position vis-a-vis Israel, and took generous time and space to explain to me that Hezbollah must be crushed because if they were to win, they would destroy Israel and me, because of my values and lifestyle. This view, along with other views salient in western media (particularly American) of Hezbollah betrays ignorance. It is fatal ignorance. The most gross miscalculation Israeli strategists are making is based on the assumption that Hezbollah is a) not a legitimate political entity in this country, b) its base is made up of extremists and c) its "elimination" would leave the Lebanese construct unscathed. In point of fact, pushing the Lebanese population to "rise up" against Hezbollah, or the scenario of a Lebanese implosion, is the worst case scenario for all regional "parties", because the country would then become the jungle of violence and killing that Iraq is today. Because I am a staunch secular democrat, I have never endorsed Hezbollah, but I do not question their legitimacy as a political actor on the Lebanese scene, I believe they are just as much a product of Lebanon's contemporary history, its war and postwar, as are all other parties. If one were to evaluate the situation in vulgar sectarian terms, when it comes to representing the interests of their constituency they certainly do a better job than all the political representatives presently and in the past. It would be utter folly (in fact it would be murderous folly) to regard Hezbollah as another radical Islamist terrorist organization, at least in the ideological and idiomatic vein of the American intelligentsia and punditry. (There is something about a stubborness to misunderstand that betrays an intent in the US to see a crisis linger or even escalate. If Americans feel better being misguided idiots, Israelis should know better. If the Israeli intelligentsia wants to play deaf like Americans the only outcome will be an Iraq scenario, although I reiterate that Lebanon is not Iraq and the Lebanese are not and will not be Iraqi and will not be manipulated into the barbaric sectarian horror. We've tried that before and it does not work, and we are tired of fighting each other.) Hezbollah is a mature political organization (that has matured organically within the evolution of Lebanese politics) with an Islamist ideology, that has learned (very quickly) to co-exist with other political agents in this country, as well as other sects. If Lebanese politics were a representation of short-sighted petty sectarian calculations, the lived social experience of postwar Lebanon was different. Sectarian segregation was extremely difficult to implement in the conduct of everyday social transactions, in the conduct of business, employment and all other avenues of commonplace life. And that is a capital we all carry within ourselves, there are exceptional moments when the country came together willingly and spontaneously (as with the Israeli attacks in 1993 and 1996), but there are other smaller, less spectacular moments that punctuate the lived experience of the postwar that every single Lebanese can recall where sectarian prejudice was utterly meaningless, experienced as meaningless. When former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri was assassinated, the country seemed divided into two camps; the consensus was overwhelming, however, that we will not revert to fighting one another, to eliminating one another. If Israel plans to annihilate Hezbollah, it will annihilate Lebanon. Hezbollah and its constituency are not only Lebanese in the perception of all, they are also a key, essential element of contemporary Lebanon. Moreover, the specifics of UN Resolution 1559 may have regional implications, but at heart and in essence they can only be resolved within the Lebanese consensus. Israel CANNOT take it upon itself to implement that UN resolution. There is off course sinister folly that Israel should implement any UN resolution considering its stellar record of snarling, snickering and shrugging at every single UN resolution that did not suit its sensibilities. Hezbollah are not al-Qaeda. Israeli and US propaganda will portray them as much, and that is the downfall of public opinion, that is the tragedy at the root of the consensus that agrees to watching Lebanon burn. In more ways than can be counted they are different political ideologies, groups and movements. First, they are not suicidal. Second, they are not anti-historical. Third, they are a full-fledged political agent at the center of a dynamic polity. Their ideology is not an ideology of doom; they represent as much petty interests of their constituency as they are imbricated in the fabric of regional politics. Israel, and Channel 2 I was watching Lise Doucet on the BBC interview one of Olmert's underlings yesterday after the speech. This is the folly of the Israelis, and I believe it will be their downfall, ultimately. He was lamenting that Hezbollah hit the "peaceful" city of Haifa, an Israeli city that he described as exemplar of coexistence between Jews, Christians and Muslims. Haifa! An Israeli city? Haifa? The name is Arabic. The j*wel in the crown of Palestinian cities... A peaceful haven of coexistence between Jews, Muslims and Christians? My God! It took DECADES for Christians and Muslims to appear on the roster of "human beings" in the ledgers of the Israeli government. Decades of struggle, riots, pain and suffering. And they are still second class citizen, and they are still unwelcome, pushed out, day after day, crushed by the Israeli machine. This eloquent underling was making the argument that Hezbollah wanted to destroy the city of "coexistence". Off course, he does not care that the city the IDF has currently under siege, the city they are bombing to rubble, the city where the Red Cross and civil rescue headquarters were shelled to the ground, Tyre, is itself a gorgeous j*wel on the Lebanese coast. That it is a GENUINE city of coexistence amongst Christians, Shi'ites and Sunnis. And the delightful town of Marja'yun is also a city where sects and religions co-exist, and Zahleh... and so on and so on... But no matter, the Israelis have always done this, and eventually, it catches up with them, and in the end, they realize that their narrative is so far removed from reality they have to backtrack. The key to understanding Israeli's relationship to our humanity lies in a text by David Grossman, one of Israel's foremost novelists, essayists and writers. He wrote it around the time of the First Intifada. Israel was then beginning to come into reckoning that the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza was no longer tenable or sound strategy for the well-being of its democracy. By the second or third of these "siege notes", the emails reached Israel and Israeli blogs. A journalist from Israel's Channel 2 contacted me by email and asked for an interview. I was uncomfortable with the idea at first, for fear that my words be distorted and my genuine, candid sentiments quoted to serve arguments I do not endorse. Exposing oneself with transparency has its charm and price. That journalist seems like a nice person, but I have no reason to trust her and she understands my misgivings. My only defense is transparency. She sent me the set of questions below for me to an swer so she can air them on TV or use them for some report. I decided to share them with you all. Q: How your day looks like from the morning. What you did today? did you have coffee? how do you get the news - television? radio? internet? A: The routine of our days is totally changed. We now live under a regimen of survival under siege. Those of us still not wounded and not stranded do whatever needs to be done to survive until the next day. Coffee, yes, I have coffee in the morning, and at noon and in the afternoon. Perhaps I have too much coffee. The passage of time is all about monitoring news, checking everyone's OK, and figuring out what has to be done to help those in distress. News are on all the time. All the time, whatever media works. There is a great need for volunteers to tend to the hundreds of thousands displaced now. Q: Can you describe the neighborhood you live in? A: So it will be bombed? No thank you. I live in a very, very privileged neighborhood, far from the southern suburbs. After the evacuation of foreign nationals (and bi-nationals) is complete, everyone is expecting doom and if Israelis decide to give us a dose of tough love as they did in the southern suburbs my life will probably be in serious danger as my family's and everyone who has decided to stay here. Q: Can you say something about yourself - like what you do for living, if you can say. A: I organize cultural events and I am a free-lance writer. I used to live in New York city and moved to Beirut Tuesday July 11th. I have no life at the present moment. I try to do a few things over the internet, but that's increasingly difficult. Q: Are you Lebanese or Palestinian? A: Both, and it gets more complicated. I have Syrian blood, too. And Turkish and Bosnian. I am the product of the Ottoman empire, and I say it with pride. I know it ires a lot of people. But I am VERY proud to claim my lineage. My father was expelled from Jerusalem in 1948. He and his family lived in a gorgeous home in Talbiyeh. I think it is a day care school now. We own property in old Jerusalem as well and the Atlantic Hotel which was bombed by your "valiant" paramilitary pre-national militias in 1946. Q: In Israel our leaders think that by targeting Hezbollah and other places in Lebanon will make the rest of the local population against them. Is this true? A: It is pure folly, but even if it were true it is a terrible strategy, an imploded Lebanon is a nightmare to all, not only the Lebanese but to everyone. Does Israel want an Iraq at its doorstep? There seems to be consensus now in Israel over the military campaign. It is because Israelis are not yet pressing their leadership and military with smart questions. Do you actually believe it would be possible to eliminate the Shi'i sect from Lebanon, and that it would go down easy in the region? If the Americans are advising you, duck for cover or move. Need I list their record of wisdom and foresight recently? Vietnam, Central America, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq? If you need to listen to imperialists, find less idiotic ones, at least who have a sense of history. Gold help us all if Rumsfeld is also in charge of your well-being. This war will bring doom to all. Stop, cut everybody's losses. Wars can be stopped before the body count is "intolerable" or an entire country has been reduce d to rubble. Q: What is the atmosphere in the streets of Beirut, if you can tell. A: Beirut is quiet, dormant, huddled. We are caged, but there is tenacious solidarity. You have to understand that we see ourselves under an unwarranted attack from Israel. The capture of two soldiers DOES NOT justify Israel's response. There has been a status quo for the past 6 years that was well managed. Hezbollah was not in an impasse, the Olmert government was in an impasse. He ran on a campaign to solidify the "new" (illegitimate) borders, finish the wall and finalize the enclave and withdraw into the boundaries of that enclave. The Olmert government did not have the maturity or intelligence to know how to deal with the Hamas government. Your government was guided by arrogance. We, you and us, are here today because your political class is not up to the challenge. I am sorry, but the Hamas government was elected democratically, and there were myriad ways to deal with them. MYRIAD. But this is the stage of your destiny that you have reached: you build walls around yourselves (you to whom the Massada is a foundational trauma/myth!), and you chase barefoot, toothless, illiterate, hungry people with a state of the art military arsenal. And you insist that you are victims, and you insist that you are on the right side of history. All this bulllshit will catch up with you. Q: What is the atmosphere among your friends? A: The consensus is solidarity. Our country is under attack. Otherwise, we are an exceedingly plural society every one has a theory and a point of view, and we co-exist. Humoring one another. What do you do when you are under siege? Do you eat one another, cannibalize on one another, or stand in solidarity to weather the storm? Q: Can you go to work, or do you have to stay home? (because some of the workers in the north of Israel did not go to work today) A: The largest, largest majority do not go to work. Although it is a form of resilience. If the war goes on for longer, life will have to evolve a different routine. A large part of the work force is impaired from movement. And then there is the random shelling, it's also dangerous to go out. This has gone on from the first day of the siege. The south is now sinking in a humanitarian crisis. Beirut will soon. (The new regulation by your glorious IDF this morning is to shoot at all moving vehicles larger than SUVs. One was just shelled in Ashrafieh. New danger, new things to look out for.) Q: Whatever crosses your mind. A: Let's not go there... It's dark now, and I am too traumatized. I just want this to be over. I am waiting for a ceasefire. Are you? Is that too unmanly for your society? What do you need to see before you cease your fire? You want to hear me expire? You take down Hezbollah, and I am going down with them. Do you know when Hezbollah was born? 1982. Where were you? Has it been an exciting summer for you? Q: I, for example, went to my gym class this morning. I am at home now, listening to the radio on one side, writing mails on the other side. Air-condition is on, since it is extremely hot and humid in Tel Aviv. I live in the center of the city. Later I will go to the office. I think life in my city continues but in a lower volume. A: Life as it was, or as previously understood, in my city has stopped. No gym classes, and I am accumulating cellulite, hence chances of finding a second husband are lessened (can I make the IDF pay for that?). Air-conditioning is dependent on electricity or generator working. Power cuts are the rule now and the generator works only on a schedule. I like it when Israelis report their weather, it ought to have some cathartic virtue, because it's like a reality check --- one of the few reminders they are in this region and not in Europe. So yes, without air-conditioning and with power cuts, my "semitic" curls produce an unruly coiffe and I have to admit, I am enduring siege with bad hair. I am on email, but that's intermittant between two bouts of "breaking news". I hope you will wake up to the nightmare you have dragged us into. I hope you will want to have fire ceased as soon as possible. I hope you will deem our humanity as valuable as your own. Best, Rasha. '
But do zionists value any humanity? They don't like their soldiers being killed, it's true. Bad for the invincibility image. But their civilians? They seem to w ant them to be killed. "Look," the racist war criminals can then say, "see how w e suffer!" (7/21/2006 2:33:43 PM)

July 22/23, 2006 -- U.S. military intelligence sources have told WMR that the ar tillery shell shown below being used by an Israel Defense Force member in Lebano n, is a type of dual and multi-use weapon the neocons falsely accused Saddam Hus sein of possessing. Although the canister artillery shell is marketed as an anti -land mine fuel-air bomb, its payload can also include the chemicals used in thermobaric bombs, white phosphorous weapons, and chemical weapons. Thermobaric bombs contain polymer-bonded explosives or solid fuel-air explosives in their payloads. Thermobarics use a fuse munition unit (FMU) such as that seen on the nose of the Israeli artillery shell. The shell penetrates buildings, underground shelters, or tunnels, creating such a blast pressure that all the oxygen is sucked out from the spaces and the lungs of anyone who happens to be in proximity. Israel's use of such "vaccum" weapons has been reported from across Lebanon.
The artillery shell below, with its FMU penetrator, can also be used to deliver chemical weapons, the use of which is also being reported from southern Lebanon. In addition, it can deliver white phosphorous, a substance that literally melts through skin but leaves clothing relatively intact. In Fallujah and elsewhere i n Iraq, U.S. forces have used white phosphorous on civilians, leaving grotesque corpses as a psychological warfare reminder to the civilian population to surrender or evacuate an area. The photo from Sidon of a burnt and badly disfigured young Lebanese girl is a telltale sign of white phosphorous use by the Israelis. Similar photos from Fallujah were shown to this editor by a top investigative reporter for Italy's RAI television network.
U.S. military intelligence experts believe the ease at which the Israeli soldier is handling the artillery shell is an indication that the payload contains ligh t-weight gas and not a fuel-air mixture or thermobaric bomb components. WMR cont inues to receive reports from Lebanon of depleted uranium shells being used by t he Israelis. The New York Times today is reporting that the U.S. is stepping up its delivery of "precision-guided" munitions to Israel (see article below on Bush administration pre-planning for the Israeli invasions of Lebanon and Gaza)............

Without being an expert and judgining from different photos I would guess that s ome of the dead were close to some form of non-fragmental explosion. A car that explodes usually contains a lot of gasoline that also explodes.
An explosion indoors is also totally different from an explosion outdoors, both regardig pressure damage and fire damage.
FAE weapons would also be a possibility. But to be frank it is impossible to mak e any serious judgement based on the pictures above.
The probabilty that Israel has used high energy lasers is as likely as that the black helicopters is behind everything.

the question is what lebanon(and for that matter syria,eqybt,palestine) have bee n doing for the past 40/50 years
why didnt they acheive enough deterrance to prevent israel from attacking
this all happens to nations who love luxury.........
why dont lebanon have planes and AA guns etc to beat israel air raids
they used theirr money for enjoyment and are now having it
as far as USA is concerned, now israel has got better weapons than USA though th ese all are secret
israel military science n engineering has beceme the most sophisticated in all t he world

The US spends billions of dollars on new weapons programs (annually) and obvious ly they are anxious to try out these new weapons whenever the occasion presents itself.
The US and Israel work together on research and development of Weapons of the 21 st Century:

E-Weapons: Directed Energy Warfare In The 21st Century
http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/060111_e-weapons.html
Accusations against the US and Israel abound, charging both countries with using 'unconventional weapons'.
Reports from doctors in Gaza, Baghdad, Beirut confirm that the wounds on the bod ies of victims are unlike any they have ever seen.
There is even evidence to support that the US has used these new weapons technol ogies in: Kosvo, Afghanistan, Gulf War I...
Wars are always testing grounds for new weapons technologies.
The problem with these weapons is identifying them. Because these are directed e nergy weapons, meaning they are harnessing naturally existing energies and using them as weapons, it is difficult to actually see them in action. (It is not bel ieved that these weapons are being used on a large scale... Yet. They are still being tested in theater.)
As these wars continue, more and more evidence will continue to emerge as the bo dies of the victims of these wars are examined and tested.
It is imperative that complaints and evidence be filed with the United Nations, the EU, the US and any other relevant agencies necessary to bring this situation to further light.
Presently, because these weapons are so new and so secretive, there are no Inter national treaties to deal with the inhumanity of this modern warfare.
The only way to change this is to collect as much data/evidence as possible and present it to the media and other relevant agencies.
The threat of nuclear warfare is truly one of the worst nightmare scenarios faci ng human kind, believe it or not, these new weapons of the 21st century may quit e possibly be even worse...

| Comment pos ted: by the truth on 27 Jul 2006 - 19:45 | The one who is to blame is the Hizballah .
Hizballah attempted to attack Israel , Hizballah kidnapped israeli soldiers , Hi zballah fired rockets into Israeli cities , wounding and killing civilians.
The Lebanese government needs to blame the Hizballah for causing Israel to react.
The reaction is harsh , but if the Lebanese government would really care , it wo uld act against the Hizballah , as they are completely responsible for the situa tion created .
Before you blame Israel , think what would you have done if your country was und er fire from a terrorist organization.

In an air raid launched by the Israeli occupation F16s and artilleries fire at s everal parts of Gaza Strip today nine Palestinians were killed including and an enfant, less than two months, a girl and three family members as well as 45 woun ded. This after the most offensive attack in the eastern part of Gaza city leavi ng 26 people killed and over 75 injured. the attack is still going on and the number of injured and killed people is rabidly increasing in Gaza.
Israeli occupation soldiers invaded today dawn east Gaza city and north the Stri p, heading off from the military bases nearby the eastern fence off wall separat ing east Gaza city and Israel, meanwhile, F-16s continued to fire missiles on th e residents' houses on the claim of housing weapon stockpiles.
In Al Aha'af area, east of Al Shejayah neighborhood, the Israeli artilleries fir ed a cluster of missiles, killing seven residents and many were injured .
seven Palestinians were killed among were two children and three from one family in Al Shejayia neighborhood, east Gaza city, eight others were wounded, three c ritically.' Said Dr. Mawia Hassanen, the head of emergency and ambulance at Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City.
In an incursion after midnight by the Israeli troop escorted by aerial cover, in to Salah Al din Main road where IOF jetfighter fired a missile at a gather of fi ghters belongs to Saraya Al Quds , Islamic Jihad military wing, killing the figh ter Yasser Banat and wounding five others.
Medics reported that three members of Salam Suadi family were killed. Later one medical sources asserted that three other were also killed among were Salah Huss nein, 18, and two others unidentified by the Israeli rockets against a gathering of people in Al Shejayia.
The IOF missiles killed today morning three-year old Sauda Nasser Habeib and her mother and Mohammed AL Buheiti ,22. the attack is still going on and the number of injured people is increasing.
In Jabalyia camp, north the Strip the situations are no better but a member of ministry' of interior paramilitary identified as Mohammed Adass, 22 years old wa s killed in the attacks.
To this point, IOF jetfighters fired a missile at the house of Yousef Al Nijma, member of Hamas in Jablyia refugee camp. Palestinian sources said that the owne r of the houses had been notified by the Israeli occupation forces that his hous e will be knocked down by the Israeli jetfighters on the pretenses of having ins ide a weapon stockpile. The house was totally devastated. One of the neighbors said, " they called him and they asked him toe evacuate home immediately, the damage ended up by full destruction targeting the whole camp and many casualties were reported in the air raid"
once again , and this time in the southern part of Gaza as the Israeli helicapte rs bombardment on the residents' houses in Al Barzil neighborhood of Rafah city and targeted for the third time a house belongs to Qefsha family.
.
Also, Palestine TV cameraman, Yousef Al Otla was critically wounded while coveri ng the Israeli occupation attack at Al Tuffah area. The medical sources said tha t he critical injured and he is in a very bad situations in the hospital. He lef t bleeding for many house after the camera fill down and from his head while he was wearing his proof bullet jacket and helmet, but that didn’t protect him, since the Israeli bullet invaded his body leaving him seriously injured.
Al Otla was filming the Israeli attack on the neighborhood when a missile target ed him wounding him critically and wounding moderately his assistant Muhesen Bad ra.
Targeting journalists and photographers seems to be the first on the Israeli Ar my's agenda and if this continue then I would assume you that freedom of speech was murdered by the most democratic state and the most moral soldiers in the wor ld.

not because of the people who are evil,

You are quite mistaken, Truth. Hezbollah captured the Israeli soldiers on LEBANE SE soil. And Hezbollah did not fire rockets into Israel until AFTER the Israelis attacked Lebanese cities and towns, burning civilians including many women and children to death and blasting out critical infrastructure.
>Before you blame Israel , think what would you have done if your >country was under fire from a terrorist organization
You need to take your own advice, and before you blame Hezbollah, think what YOU would have done if your country was under fire from a terrorist organization (I srael, in this case).
Israel planned this invasion long ago; at least as long ago as when they pressur ed the Syrian troops to leave Lebanon. They probably sent those Israeli soldiers into Lebanon deliberately (that they claim were "kidnapped" on Israeli soil)to give themselves an excuse to start the invasion at this time.

ATOMIC DEMOLITION MUNITIONS
Atomic Demolition Munitions (ADM) are nuclear demolition devices used primarily for obstacle creation or denial operations. ADM can only be used when the author ity to employ nuclear weapons has been granted. In the AirLand Battle, commander s should plan for, request release of, and use nuclear weapons at the time when they will have the greatest effect on the enemy. Special characteristics make ADM most desirable on the battlefield. These characteristics are discussed in the following paragraphs. The Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM) is the ADM system currently in use. The SADM can be carried by personnel, and is a low yield weapon fired by a timer mechanism.

| Comment pos ted: by black9 on 30 Jul 2006 - 09:59 | Initially, I'd say it was white phosphorous or napalm. But the hair is untouched . The Israeli's could be testing a microwave weapon, or some other form of Direc t Energy Weapon (DEW). It was rumored in the 1990's that they've been working on plasma weapons, mostly for tank busting though. Whatever this weapon is, it's n ew, and they're testing it on the civilian population.
Also, I wouldn't rule out radioactive weaponry. Not everything is thermonuclear. If they've found a way to accelerate the half life of radioactive material, and dispurse that among a population via missile, it could be capable of producing burns such as this. However, such elements are known to cause balding on the hea d and body. These burns may be from conventional weapons, if, the victims were near the impact and suffered Flash fire burns. Again, the hair is still intact. |
| Comment pos ted: by the truth on 30 Jul 2006 - 17:06 | Mugwort ,
the Israeli soldiers were kidnapped from Israeli territory , and this is a known fact. The Israeli reaction in Lebanon came only after the kidnapping .
The bombing of targets in Lebanon followed only the notification for the civilia ns to leave the places where Hizballah shot from.
No one on the Israeli side planned this invasion to Lebanon . If you will listen to what Hizballah stated , they planned this action against the state of Israel for the last 6 years .
There is no justification whats or ever for Hizballah to fire rockets on civilia ns , the moment they did , the crossed the line of whats right and whats wrong .
You cant really blame a terrorist for what he does , after all he is a terrorist , but you can see in Lebanese government as a responsible for letting the terr orist act within their lands.
The Lebanese government should know better .

It is clear to see who the blood thirsty savages are in this situation. Please know that there are American's who value the lives of people that live outside o f their culture and I pray that you and your country will have peace soon. The actions that Israel have taken today and in weeks past are unacceptable under an y circumstances.
I keep hearing that Israel was attacked first with a rocket and they retaliated afterwards. Is there any proof of this? Where did that first rocket land in Is rael and how many were killed by it? What was the date and time? I am begining to seriously doubt Israel's stated intentions. I am sick and tired of hearing of Lebanese women and children being ruthlessly murdered! Your people do not deserve this. Thirty-six children dead in one attack today and my country is going to sit down and not do anything about this? This is unacceptable!
God bless you and your family.

Hanady, as other posters have said, this looks like Falluja. My husband and I we re watching some footage of an Israeli attack on BBC, and nearly jumped to our f eet when we saw a shell explode that looked completely different than the others . We believed it to be white phosphorus.
Sorry that this is somewhat off-topic, but I want you to know many Americans are disgusted with this "war on terror", and the number grows daily. However, mo st Americans are so ignorant of world history that they think this conflict bein g fought in Lebannon began 3 weeks ago.
Every time we go mucking about in another country, the world becomes more danger ous. The whole world should be afraid of our "help", because we NEVER GO HOME. A bu Graib and Guantanamo are examples so contrary to the American ideals I was ra ised by, that I hardly recognize my country. Project For A New American Century is an organization you should see on the web. Terrifying. This does NOT represent real Americans.

this article you posted is completely false .
it claims that Israeli commando forces were caught by surprise near Aitaa al-Chaab .
well , it is completely wrong .
The fact is that Hizballah terrorists crossed the border into Israel , and attac ked the patrol forces who were on the Israeli soil .
There we no Israeli soldiers on the Lebanese ground , and the Hizballah attack o n the Israeli army border post ( which wasnt the first one , by the way , Hizbal lah often attacked IDF posts on Israeli lands ) took place on the Israeli territ ory.
Also , just for your knowledge , the kidnapped soldiers were a reservoir army s oldiers, which means they were used for patroling the board and nothing more.
The tank mentioned in the article was a part of rescue force sent originally to recover the captured soldiers.

| Comment pos ted: by msonea on 31 Jul 2006 - 17:14 | The blackened bodies are most unlikely to be due to:
atomic demolition munitions, believe me, you would know all about it if one of t hese had been set off anywhere in the region. Absolute minimum yield on American design is about 47 tons of TNT equivalent: about as strong as the Buncefield oi l terminal explosion which was heard from Dorset to Newcastle and made this hous e shake at fifty miles! Hole in ground would be hundreds of yards across. British "Blue Bunny" atomic demolition munition had yield of three megatons and was designed to deny any Soviet invasion force access to, well, Germany basically. Most apocryphal stories about ADMs being small and clean designed to stop German politicians worrying about the Bedford-truck-mounted monster the British Army had actually deployed. It's very hard to make a nuclear explosion of less than 300 tons TNT eqvuivalent in fact.
Lasers: these exist and are deployed with some armies: the damage does not look like this. You would see blinded people with no other injuries if "laser dazzle sights" deployed and anti-armour lasers create very rapid heating which explodes tissue rather than charring it. Argentina claims latter technology used in Falk lands, no other remotely credible reports in twenty years. America and Israel have in recent years made a big PR deal out of prototype weapons orders of magnitude less effective than what the Argies complained of, so they may actually be technologically backward in this field. Everyone assumes America is the technological leader, ain't necessarily so. I was told that UK sent America the technology in mid eighties, but elite scientists at Los Alamos too thick to follow the maths involved and disinclined to believe that anyone was brighter than them, so UK technology ignored in favour of amazingly crude 1950s-technology of chemically-excited (oxygen-iodine) lasers which America and Israel still persist with. Americans have some diode-lasers which are much more efficient, but not very powerful so far. Lasers produce intense cutting energy, not all-over scorching.
Microwave weapons: think what happens if hamster stuck in microwave oven by crue l children: it bursts, it does not char from the outside.
Victims came from near a bridge that had been destroyed. There's nothing cost-ef fective about attacking concrete with lasers, microwaves or any sort of "death r ay". You simply don't destroy a bridge with poison gas either!
Suggest that damage is actually blast wave damage from a fuel-air explosive. Thi s tends to burn all the oxygen out of the air, as a volatile hydrocarbon is rele ased which mixes with the air and spontaneously ignites when a critical mixture is reached. This creates a very powerful, but difuse, blast wave as the ignition expands the air -and then a vacuum as it cools. It doesn't tear small objects to pieces like a solid explosive, but compresses them evenly. This would cause damage to every cell in body and very rapid putrification of the flesh, hence terrible smell, assisted by cooking of nylon garments and car upholstery. Absence of oxygen would stop hair actually burning. Blackening of body must be partly due to all-over bruising and decomposition, but fuel air explosive is based on fairly inefficient combustion and cooks all the plastic in cars etc, so lots of soot.
Fuel Air Explosives most likely aimed at what's hiding underneath or within a bu ilt structure, rather than the structure itself. Suggest that FAE was used somet ime after bridge hit with conventional bomb, in the belief that rocket launcher or other target had been parked under uncollapsed portion of bridge. (The Serbs often parked tanks in buildings that NATO had already bombed and crossed off their list, and Israel may have learned from this.)
The chemical weapon that definitely has been used is a vomitting agent, either " agent DM" (an organo-arsenide) or Chloropicrin. Both less lethal than nerve gas, but act to incapacitate very quickly so sometimes used in conjunction with a le thal chemical strike. Large amounts of agent DM can cause brain damage and nervo us problems, as with any arsenic compound. DM appears as "white smoke" similar to tear-gas, chloropicrin largely invisible and odourless, but everyone violently sick very quickly.
Source could be Israelies, in which case, to what purpose? Or simply fallout fro m destruction of Hizbollah's artillery rockets.

atomic demolition munitions, believe me, you would know all about it if one of t hese had been set off anywhere in the region. Absolute minimum yield on American design is about 47 tons of TNT equivalent: about as strong as the Buncefield oi l terminal explosion which was heard from Dorset to Newcastle and made this hous e shake at fifty miles! Hole in ground would be hundreds of yards across. British "Blue Bunny" atomic demolition munition had yield of three megatons and was designed to deny any Soviet invasion force access to, well, Germany basically. Most apocryphal stories about ADMs being small and clean designed to stop German politicians worrying about the Bedford-truck-mounted monster the British Army had actually deployed. It's very hard to make a nuclear explosion of less than 300 tons TNT eqvuivalent in fact.
Lasers: these exist and are deployed with some armies: the damage does not look like this. You would see blinded people with no other injuries if "laser dazzle sights" deployed and anti-armour lasers create very rapid heating which explodes tissue rather than charring it. Argentina claims latter technology used in Falk lands, no other remotely credible reports in twenty years. America and Israel have in recent years made a big PR deal out of prototype weapons orders of magnitude less effective than what the Argies complained of, so they may actually be technologically backward in this field. Everyone assumes America is the technological leader, ain't necessarily so. I was told that UK sent America the technology in mid eighties, but elite scientists at Los Alamos too thick to follow the maths involved and disinclined to believe that anyone was brighter than them, so UK technology ignored in favour of amazingly crude 1950s-technology of chemically-excited (oxygen-iodine) lasers which America and Israel still persist with. Americans have some diode-lasers which are much more efficient, but not very powerful so far. Lasers produce intense cutting energy, not all-over scorching.
Microwave weapons: think what happens if hamster stuck in microwave oven by crue l children: it bursts, it does not char from the outside.
Victims came from near a bridge that had been destroyed. There's nothing cost-ef fective about attacking concrete with lasers, microwaves or any sort of "death r ay". You simply don't destroy a bridge with poison gas either!
Suggest that damage is actually blast wave damage from a fuel-air explosive. Thi s tends to burn all the oxygen out of the air, as a volatile hydrocarbon is rele ased which mixes with the air and spontaneously ignites when a critical mixture is reached. This creates a very powerful, but difuse, blast wave as the ignition expands the air -and then a vacuum as it cools. It doesn't tear small objects to pieces like a solid explosive, but compresses them evenly. This would cause damage to every cell in body and very rapid putrification of the flesh, hence terrible smell, assisted by cooking of nylon garments and car upholstery. Absence of oxygen would stop hair actually burning. Blackening of body must be partly due to all-over bruising and decomposition, but fuel air explosive is based on fairly inefficient combustion and cooks all the plastic in cars etc, so lots of soot.
Fuel Air Explosives most likely aimed at what's hiding underneath or within a bu ilt structure, rather than the structure itself. Suggest that FAE was used somet ime after bridge hit with conventional bomb, in the belief that rocket launcher or other target had been parked under uncollapsed portion of bridge. (The Serbs often parked tanks in buildings that NATO had already bombed and crossed off their list, and Israel may have learned from this.)
The chemical weapon that definitely has been used is a vomitting agent, either " agent DM" (an organo-arsenide) or Chloropicrin. Both less lethal than nerve gas, but act to incapacitate very quickly so sometimes used in conjunction with a le thal chemical strike. Large amounts of agent DM can cause brain damage and nervo us problems, as with any arsenic compound. DM appears as "white smoke" similar to tear-gas, chloropicrin largely invisible and odourless, but everyone violently sick very quickly.
Source could be Israelies, in which case, to what purpose? Or simply fallout fro m destruction of Hizbollah's artillery rockets. Although sourced from Iran and S yria, these are all basically Soviet types and the Soviets manufactured one rock et munition in three with a chemical warhead. If gangsters selling stuff looted from abandoned soviet arms dumps, in central asia or maybe even Syria, the warheads could be anything at all, but up to a third of stockpile could be "soman" nerve gas or a combination of chloropicrin and cyanide. The latter will disperse faster than chloropicrin, thank heavens.

There is no need to hypothesize the use of exotic and tricky weapons like battlefield lasers when these sorts o f simple incendiary weapons are quite capable of creating the horrors we see her e.
On most issues I would rate myself a conservative, not a liberal. But that does n't mean I'm any sort of fan of George Bush and his war to create terrorists. I am also sick of the way my country's president and Congress keep giving blank c hecks to Israel. When Likud says "Jump!" Congress says, "How high?" Somebody p lease tell me, when was Israel made our 51st state?

It's absolutely ridiculous to even suggest that Hezbollah is the aggressor in th e current crisis occurring in the Middle East. If Hezbollah took Israeli soldier s then shouldn't Israel show a little restraint in bombing Hezbollah buildings s ince its possible the soldiers are inside of them? There retrieval of two soldie rs is being used as a pretext to destroy Lebanon as well as kill it's civilians.
800+ civilians have died thus far with 1500+ injured. If you compare the America n news media (Fox News, ABC, CNBC, MSNBC, CBS, etc.) to international news sourc es such as the BBC or CBC you realize that in the USA you're being horse fed fil tered and biased news.
The Israeli’s have over 11,000 Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners in there priso ns, including women and children so to make a fuss about two captured soldiers i s at the least hypocritical. The post below is a perfect example of the targetin g of civilians by Israel. Let me also remind you that these officers were never charged with any crime.

| Comment pos ted: by yasinumur on 04 Aug 2006 - 16:40 | Israel has killed, more than 800 Lebanese people so far. It has caused billions of dollars worth of damage to civilian infrastructure in an economically trouble d country, and is holding all Lebanese people hostage. Unlike Hezbollah rockets, Israeli rockets are directed towards civilian areas with great precision. Israe l is not attacking military targets!
"A highway that transports weapons from place to place" Are they justifying the bombing of all roads in Lebanon? Houses can be used to store these weapons too, let's have Israel destroy all the houses in Lebanon... maybe some of those civil ians they killed were hiding rocks they were considering throwing in the directi on of Israel. I suppose that justifies the murder of those civilians.
In your community, when they convict a criminal, do they throw all of his friend s and family in jail too? Hezbollah does not represent a majority of Lebanese pe ople. In fact, the Lebanese government was attempting to disarm Hezbollah volunt arily before this crisis began.
Again, to be clear, Israel is attacking Lebanon not Hezbollah. The bombing of ro ads in the northern and most parts of Lebanon do not prevent the 10,000 rockets Hezbollah has in Lebanon from being fired at Israel, neither does the bombing of the fuel tanks at the Beirut airport or the electric station. Israel hasn't bee n able to stop the regular missile attacks against it, even with all these roads destroyed. It has succeeded only in encouraging misery and panic on both sides of the border.
Israel’s supposed arch-enemy, the terrorist group Hamas, was founded and funded by Israel’s dominant Likud party and continues to be bankrolled to this day by p olitical bodies pushing a one world government system. This is not my opinion an d I am not breaking an exclusive story. It is a documented fact reported on by m ainstream news outlets and admitted by respected individuals within the US and Israeli governments and intelligence agencies.
The objectives of Hamas dovetail with those of the Likud, no settlement at all c osts. Whenever the prospect of a workable peace settlement between the Israelis and Palestinians arises, Hamas or one of their offshoots blows a bus, restaurant or a hotel to pieces. This gives Israel the justification needed to scupper any agreement and further entrench their occupation of disputed lands. All the outsider sees is carnage, death and a mainstream media that spins the issue so that these atrocities somehow represent the wishes of the Palestinian people.
The Globalists have no intention of settling the conflict and will likely use it several years down the line to initiate a near-apocalyptic third world war that will fully ensconce their wicked empire. The final phase is a stage-managed ‘cl ash of civilizations’ between the Arab world, possibly supported by China, and t he west.
According to United Press International,
“Israel and Hamas may currently be locked in deadly combat, but, according to se veral current and former U.S. intelligence officials, beginning in the late 1970 s, Tel Aviv gave direct and indirect financial aid to Hamas over a period of yea rs.”
Israel wanted to radicalize the dispute by moulding Hamas into a fundamentalist militant crusade to ape the Khomeini revolution in Iran. So much so that Israel groomed potential Hamas leaders, pressuring Israeli authorities to give them lic enses to set up food kitchens, clinics, schools, and day-care centers, to create a governing structure alternative to Arafat's Fatah. These were known as ‘Village Leagues’ - and provided future Hamas operatives with a political and governmental foothold. This began in 1978 when Prime Minister Menachem Begin, himself a former terrorist leader, approved an application from Sheik Ahmad Yassin to license the Islamic Association, which would later produce a military wing, Hamas, in 1987. The Israeli Likud party propped up Yassin because they both had the same agenda, to destabilize Arafat’s Fatah.
The Village Leagues were then infiltrated by the Israeli intelligence agency Shi n Bet, which provided weapons training for the Palestinians and also created a n etwork of thousands of informers. This funding and support continued even after the signing of the 1993 Oslo accords.
The deliberate insertion of a competing faction would dilute support for the Pal estinian Liberation Organization. Current Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon ha d a key role in the formation of this policy. After the first wave of suicide bo mbings began in 1994, Israel could also discredit the PLO by linking it with Ham as after every terrorist atrocity. The hard line Likud party could then increase its standing amongst the Israeli people by promising a brutal crackdown on Palestinian terrorism. Chaos and anarchy on the West Bank entails order – Likud’s order.
The US government correspondingly used the tactic of radicalizing a group or a c ountry when it shipped millions of Islamic fundamentalist schoolbooks to Afghani stan under George Bush senior. The books encouraged violent jihad and the overth row of the then secular Afghan government. This conditioned a whole generation t o calmly accept the subsequent fundamentalist Taliban regime, which was put into power in 1996 by the CIA.
Of course, an even more plentiful supply of compliance from Israeli citizens is harvested from manufactured terrorist threats, a tactic used to perfection by th e post-9/11 Bush and Blair governments. By managing both the Hamas leadership an d perception of the group’s deadly potential in the media, the Israeli elite cou ld frighten their people into living under a police state,
“Sharon is conducting a vicious psychological operation inside Israel, to secure popular support for a war by staging continuous terror scares. One Israeli busi nessman confirmed that almost nightly, Israeli police enter restaurants, hotels, shops, etc., ordering patrons to evacuate due to "bomb threats." The businessma n, a former Mossad official, was told by Israeli authorities that the scares are in almost all cases hoaxes, perpetrated to traumatize the public into accepting any anti-Arab military actions.” [Executive Intelligence Review]
Previous to Israel’s intervention, Hamas was a relatively dormant and sidelined minority group. According to UPI’s US government source, "The thinking on the pa rt of some of the right-wing Israeli establishment was that Hamas and the others , if they gained control, would refuse to have any part of the peace process and would torpedo any agreements put in place.” The well-respected International Herald Tribune could only agree,
“It is well-known that, in its long war against Palestinian nationalism, Israel penetrated every faction and recruited a veritable army of Palestinian informers and collaborators.”
Secretary-General of the Palestinian Authority Tayeb Raheem went into further de tails by stating that Hamas cells existed within the Israeli army and security s ervices, proof of which was documentation highlighting the fact that Islamic ope ratives were regularly entering camps such as Dahaniya that only Israeli collabo rators were permitted to access.
The whole Gaza withdrawal thing was pure hypocrisy. Right on cue, those Turkish rockets started falling and "oh my, I guess we'll have to reoccupy the place and over a million people squeezed into Gaza will just have to do without water or electricity or food." Shades of the Warsaw Ghetto. "Oh and know what? Let's go b ack and re-wreck Lebanon too. God knows, they just started to get back on their feet since they invaded twenty years ago.
For many centuries Jewish people have made plans to get back into Palestine and get their Israel, and finally found a way to get there. It sure helps to be the smartest and best-educated people in the world, they took control of the worlds finances and thereby worlds monarchs, but all in the maximum secrecy, as outline d and dictated by Amschel Rotschild and his descendants, up to Jacob Rothschild. (Read 'The Rothschild’s' by Frederick Morton, 1961)
This conspiracy has made sure multiple wars have started throughout history, one of the first to be the Franco - Prussian war, where The Rothschild’s used Bisma rck's banker Bleichroder to pressure him to start that war, in order to consolid ate Rothschild's power in both France and Germany. (Read "Gold and Iron" by Frit z Stern, 1977)
Later WW1 made sure England declared the Balfour Declaration. It is pretty odd t hat while all European countries lost big, the Zionists suddenly had this 'Get O ut Of The Diaspora Free' card, and Palestine came under control of a country con trolled, again by Rothschild (see Morton), and the Ottomans kicked out in 1918. The great migration began, but England didn't release Palestine just yet because they faced instability in the area. So the Zionist invented terrorism, and started with bombings against the English, witch were supposed to be an ally.
Then we had of course WW2, and at the cost of a great number of Jewish casualtie s Israel became a reality in 1948. It is really strange to see Germany offered t o let the Jewish people go in at least 4 separate occasions, but the Zionist lea ders in control refused this, unless they could go to Palestine.
One Zionist leader (the no 2) said "One Jewish cow in Palestine is worth more th an all Jews in Europe" and he lived by that as million died by that. It was clea r Zionist leadership had no scrupulosity to sacrifice Jewish lives. (see 'Neture i Karta' website http://www.nkusa.org , a Jewish organization)
Then there was of course this USS Liberty incident in 1967, witch was by no mean s an accident, but a conceived plot by Israel and the American president to draw America into the conflict, perhaps even nuclear. Thank god it failed.
And then there was eventually 9/11. The terrorists made the biggest, stupidest a ttack one could ever imagine against a country that would surely eradicate them, but nevertheless they did it.
- 9/11 was an inside job, the American government knew everything, and hey..., a gain Zionists at the helm, because they control America.
2001 - Afghanistan. Muslim country 1
2003 - Iraq. Muslim country 2
2006 - Lebanon. Muslim country 3
next - Syria Muslim country 4
then - Iran Muslim country 5
Iran was supposed to be no 3, but that didn't work, because the world opinion wa s against it. So they choose an alternative route.
And you guys just won't leave a single stone unturned on this planet until you g et your way. Even Holland was bullied into fighting this unjust war, they had to send troops to Afghanistan or face financial consequences and frozen assets in the Zionist controlled America. Again Jacob Rothschild in the end .... by his gr asp on our banking system he can destroy their economy in a whim, just as with every other western country.
Stop this murdering. Don't you know you loose so much goodwill you build up afte r ww2? Don't you see the old hatred of thousands of years resurfaces again, all by your own hands?
And all for that one mountain with a temple, witch is a Muslim mosque right now.
You are supposed to get it only by the hands of your Messiah. I know for sure he won't be very willing to help you as long as you keep on killing. Damn sure! Go d keeps an eye on everything, and sometimes somebody else is also damn intellige nt.

I am Canadian, and my ancestry is Irish and Russian, so I have no ties to any of the middle-eastern countries, but that does not stop me from crying for the injustices these fellow human beings are se eing. Do people not understand that the world does not want to fight? Ordinary p eople who make up 99% of the world's population want to live their lives in peace. They want to go to school, they wank to find careers, they want to raise their children, and grow old while their children's children go through life.
It makes my skin crawl when I look at Stephen Harper, and the conservative party now in power of Canada. This was not the party I voted for, and they are flushi ng our good name down the toilet. Canadians are globally known as peacekeepers, people who prefer to keep their noses out of everyone's business, people who jus t want to live life, and now with each passing day as Bush's lapdog (Israel by proxy), we are losing our identity we fought so hard to create.
I am not anti-semetic in any way, shape, or form, but the Jews control this worl d, and something needs to be done to stop this. Religion is a dangerous thing, a nd has been the cause of almost every war man has known to date.

| Comment pos ted: by sadlebaneseamerican on 07 Aug 2006 - 16:56 | The comments expressed by many who post here are very polarized. It is this pol arization that perpetuates the problems in Lebanon.
The bottom line is that Lebanon suffers because U.S. Foreign Policy has failed t o recognize that a strong Lebanese military is the solution to all of Lebanon's problems. Further, there is a failure to understand that a strong Lebanese mili tary is not a threat to Israel but, quite to the contrary, it would provide more stability and security to Israel.
The root of this entire problem is a weak Lebanese military and strong illegal m ilitias such as Hezbollah, and the Lebanese Forces run by the criminal Samir Gea gea. To solve the Lebanese problem, all (emphasis on ALL) militias must be disb anded or they, and their leadership, must be destroyed. It appears that the des truction of Hezbollah is in progress. Next, the government must look to Achrafieh and seize all of the hidden arms held by the Lebanese Forces. Any other militias must also be permanently removed.
What Lebanon needs today is a good dose of Kemal Ataturk. Ataturk was a visiona ry that knew what was required to bring his country into the modern era. Some m ay see his policies as draconian but they worked. Look a Turkey today. By west ern standards, it may not be the most democratic country around but by Middle Ea stern standards it is centuries ahead of its neighbors but with one caveat...<editorial comment>they must recognize the rights of the Kurdish people.</editorial comment>
The U.S. government must commit hundreds of millions of dollars to the Lebanese government in the form of military aid to make the Lebanese military second only to Israel. Then, and only then, will the Syrians and Iranians be prevented fro m meddling in Lebanese affairs.
U.S. aid is not enough, though. It is up to the Lebanese citizens to stop placi ng their loyalty at the Zei'm level and place it unconditionally at the Lebanese national level. When all Lebanese think I am Lebanese first and Druze, Christi an, Shi'ah, Sunni, etc., second then the country of Lebanon can thrive. When a Lebanese soldier is willing to sacrifice his life defending a Lebanese citizen of any religion then Lebanon will have recovered from this insanity. |

When you omit all of the facts, it is the same as lying.
All of the militias in Lebanon do the same thing. They place their artillery or rockets in residential neighborhoods so that their enemy will either have to en dure the barrage from these weapons or risk killing innocent civilians when they shooting back. If the residents of these areas demand that these weapons are r emoved they will be killed.
The militias play a dirty game with innocent civilian lives and are guilty of wa r crimes. Hopefully, they will pay for these crimes.
Anyone that condones this type of behavior is just as guilty. |

I am not Jew, not Arab, nor any religious persuasion, just trying to get straigh t answers. It is hard to know if what media feeds us is true. I would appreciate any and all feedback. My sympathy goes to all who have to deal with this situat ion. |

A list of UN Resolutions against "Israel"
Here is a list of UN resolutions that Israel has not complied. As far as I know they have ignored every single resolution. But the situation is far worse than w ould at first appear, it involves the serious distortion of the official Securit y Council record by the profligate use by the United States of its veto power. ( See Table)
Israel’s, defiance goes back to its very beginnings. This collection of resoluti ons criticizing Israel is unmatched by the record of any other nation.

United Nations Resolution 425
U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 425 - March 19, 1978 Read Resolution 425
Text: The Security Council, Taking note of the letters of the Permanent Represen tative of Lebanon (S/12600 and S/12606) and the Permanent Representative of Isra el (S/12607), and having heard the statements of the Permanent Representatives o f Lebanon and Israel. The Security Council is gravely concerned at the deteriora tion of the situation in the Middle East, and its consequences to the maintenance of international peace, convinced that the present situation impedes the achievement of a just peace in the Middle East.
The Security Council,
1.Calls for strict respect for the territorial integrity, sovereignty and politi cal independence of Lebanon within its internationally recognized boundaries;
2. Calls upon Israel immediately to cease its military action against Lebanese t erritorial integrity and withdraw forthwith its forces from all Lebanese territo ry;
3. Decides, in the light of the request of the Government of Lebanon, to establi sh immediately under its authority a United Nations interim force for southern L ebanon for the purpose of confirming the withdrawal of Israeli forces, restoring international peace and security and assisting the Government of Lebanon in ens uring the return of its effective authority in the area, the force to be composed of personnel drawn from States Members of the United Nations.
4. Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Council within twenty-four ho urs on the implementation of this resolution.
United Nations Security Council - 03/19/1978
Update: 21 years later, Israel is still occupying part of South Lebanon "Shebaa Farms" and defying the Laws of the International Community by not withdrawing it s forces from Lebanon.
Action Requested: Contact the United Nations and voice your outrage against this double standard policy the UN is adopting, ask them to order Israel out of Leba non by force if necessary. Indicate the following conflicts as an example: Iraq- Kuwait - Serbia-Kosova. |
| Comment pos ted: by woman on 12 Aug 2006 - 05:36 | For information on weapons developed by USA, (which appear to have been used in Lebanon), see "Earth Rising - The Revolution - Towards a Thousand Years of Peace ", a book by Dr. Nick Begich and James Roderick. (Earthpulse Press)
ie
the manipulation of human health ....by the use of electromagnetic weapons
electromagnetic pulse weapons
micro-wave weapons
blinding lasers
Another weapons development, HAARP, is a "Star wars" type weapons system which t he USA has been developing in Alaska. It can
-disrupt human mental processes
-jam all global telecommunications systems
-change weather patterns
W
-interfere with wildlife patterns over large areas
-negatively affect health
-unnaturally impact the Earth's upper atmosphere
I was shocked to see the pictures - after seeing a few I could not bear to look at any more.
Undoubtedly, from the description of the corpses, the people are being killed by illegal and immoral weapons which I believe have likely been given by USA to Is rael "to try out" on the people in Lebanon. |
