Blijkbaar is de martelaarswens groter dan de afkeer uit de buurt van gevaarlijke wapens te wonen de afgelopen 6 jaar. Enschede kan er inmiddels over meepraten. Overigens zou het me niks verbazen als een groot percentage van de omgekomen burgers alsnog Hezbollah militanten zijn. Ze lopen nl. niet geüniformeerd door de dorpen. Evt. wapens worden uiteraard zo snel mogelijk weggehaald voor hergebruik. Geloof je ècht dat Israël baat heeft bij het ombrengen van burgers? Het brengt toch alleen maar meer afkeer wereldwijd? P.S.; Jouw vaginale vergelijking van een prachtig land doet mij trouwens nòg meer verlangen erheen te gaan ![]() |

Israel is zich er van bewust dat ze er niet populairder op worden als bijvoorbeeld burgerslachtoffers vallen, het is dus niet zover gezocht dat ze dode burgers als Hezbollah stijders afdoen. Nu geloof ik best dat Libanon evengoed niet betrouwbaar is in haar berichtgevingen. Maar goed ik denk niet dat buitenlandse nieuwszenders klakkeloos aannemen wat libanon beweerd ze zullen heus wel zelf onderzoek hebben verricht. Hoewel het erg waarschijnlijk is dat het aantal burgerslachtoffers niet precies klopt, denk ik wel dat berichtgevingen van nieuwsprogramma's als NOS en notabene CNN aardig in de buurt komen bij de werkelijke aantal doden. |

NOS en CNN geven trouwens aan dat ze de getallen overnemen van de resp. Libanese overheid en de Israelische overheid. T.a.v. Qana hebben ze uiteindelijk de cijfers van het Rode Kruis en Human Rights Watch overgenomen.

IDF: IAF did not strike in villages of Taibeh, Aita al-Shaab The Israel Defense Forces responded to publications according to which the Israel Air Force bombed buildings in the villages of Taibeh and Aita al-Shaab in southern Lebanon, saying that no strikes were carried out in those areas. News agencies reported Friday afternoon that buildings collapsed during IAF strikes in the two villages, and that 57 people were buried under the rubble. (Efrat Weiss) http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...286441,00.html [edit: meer info: Israel Denies Attacking 2 South Lebanon Villages Friday BEIRUT (AP)--Israel denied it launched airstrikes on two villages in south Lebanon on Friday that flattened two houses, and reportedly buried 57 people in the rubble. Lebanon's National News Agency reported Israeli airstrikes flattened a building in Aita al-Shaab, 2 kilometers inside Lebanon. A large number of civilians were inside at the time, but the exact number was unknown, it said. It also said warplanes also hit Taibeh, about 5 kilometers from the Israeli border, destroying a house where 17 people had taken refuge. But Israeli army spokesman Capt. Jacob Dallal said the Israeli air force had not hit the two areas. "The air force had no targets in those villages," he said. Local and pan-Arab television channels carried a report about the Taibeh attack, but showed no video footage. The two border villages were at the heart of south Lebanon's war zone, with fierce ground battles being waged in and around them - making it difficult for rescuers or reporters to document any attacks. http://www.nasdaq.com/aspxcontent/Ne...ternational.na ]

Het is verboden deze wapens te gebruiken bij het bombarderen van doelen. Dat is wat anders. En het zijn beschuldigingen van een Libanese arts en waarnaar naar mijn weten nog geen onafhankelijk onderzoek naar is gedaan, waarin dit bevestigd werd. Zie: Date: 26 / 07 / 2006 Time: 18:53 تكبير الخط تصغير الخط BEIRUT, 26 July (IRIN) - The Israeli military has defended itself following allegations by Lebanese government officials, doctors and an international human rights organisation that phosphorous bombs have been used, and have harmed civilians. "The IDF's use of weapons and ammunition conforms to international law. The specific claims are being checked based on the information provided to us," the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) said in a statement sent to IRIN. Lebanon's Information Minister Ghazi Aridi has said "Israel is using internationally prohibited weapons against civilians." Aridi failed to specify which weapons, but his comment followed claims that Israel had used bombs containing phosphorous. Phosphorus is a chemical that burns the skin and increases risk of mortality because of the absorption of chemicals into the body resulting in organ failure. White phosphorus continues to burn until consumed completely or deprived of oxygen. In some cases it can burn right down to the bone. "Israel has always used them [phosphorous bombs]," said Timor Goksel, a former spokesman of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) who served for over 20 years in southern Lebanon. "[Phosphorous bombs were] mostly used in the terrain, not in urban areas, which is allowed. Phosphorus bombs are allowed to light up a battlefield, [but cannot be used] to firebomb buildings." "I've seen the victims' burns in the hospital of Tyre, and they almost certainly have been caused by phosphorous bombs," he told IRIN. Protocol III of the Geneva Conventions, to which Israel is a signatory, but with legal reservations, prohibits and restricts the use of incendiary weapons on civilian populations. A Belgian doctor of Lebanese descent, Bachir Cham, heads the Assairane Hospital in the southern city of Sidon. "Following a bomb attack near Sidon, we had eight bodies brought to the hospital," said Cham. "Normally, people killed or injured by a bomb explosion or in a car accident show traces of burns or blood. But these bodies showed neither. The skin was completely black, while the muscle underneath was intact." Cham, a heart and vascular specialist who taught at universities in Brussels and Paris, took 24 skin samples from the bodies and sent them to the World Health Organization in Geneva. He also took photos. According to Cham, similar burns cases have been reported in other hospitals. Doctors say many patients have been treated with severe burns in the southern city of Tyre. The emergencies' director of Human Rights Watch (HRW), Peter Boukhaert, who is currently in Lebanon, said HRW researchers in Israel had been able to confirm Israel's use of phosphorus bombs along the border with Lebanon. But deeper inside Lebanon, it had been harder to establish the use of phosphorus. "So far, the burns we've seen in Lebanon could have been caused by normal bombs fire." http://www.maannews.net/en/index.php...tails&ID=13738

Eerst zouden er ook clusterbommen gebruikt zijn, die claim horen we ook nooit meer wat van. Ook zouden er chemische wapens gebruikt zijn, maar daar horen we ook niks meer van. Allemaal geruchten die door de Hezbollah en medestanders de wereld in worden geholpen om Israël zwart te maken. Voorzichtigheid is dan ook geboden bij dat soort claims.

'Israëlische commando's in Libanon'
BEIROET - Libanese bronnen melden dat nabij de zuidelijke stad Tyrus Israëlische commando's zijn gedropt. Ze raakten in felle gevechten met Hezbollah-strijders. Volgens het televisiestation van de sjiitische organisatie, al-Manar, is een Israëlische commando gedood. Israël heeft dat niet bevestigd. Ook openden volgens de Amerikaanse nieuwszender CNN Apache-helikopters het vuur op vermoedelijke Hezbollah-doelen in Tyrus. Het doel van de nachtelijke operatie van de Israëlische elitetroepen is niet bekend. Onder inwoners van Tyrus bestaat de vrees dat Israël een inname van de havenstad voorbereidt. Rond Tyrus zijn vrijdag al talrijke aanvallen uitgevoerd. Daarnaast bestookte Israël zaterdagochtend volgens CNN opnieuw doelen in de zuidelijke buitenwijken van de Libanese hoofdstad Beiroet. Het is de derde opeenvolgende nacht dat de Israël toeslaat in Zuid-Beiroet, een bastion van de sjiitische Hezbollah. Israël was ook actief in het zuiden van de Bekaa-vallei. Volgens Libanese functionarissen zijn er zaterdagochtend zeker vier luchtaanvallen uitgevoerd nabij de grens met Syrië. Zuid-Libanon, waar Tyrus ligt, de zuidelijke buitenwijken van Beiroet en het zuiden van de Bekaa-vallei gelden als gebieden waar Hezbollah uitvalsbases heeft. http://www.ad.nl/buitenland/article520831.ece?start=1 "Al Manar is een gewoon televisiestation" "In Beirut zit geen Hezbollah, alleen burgers" ![]()

Here only the question whether the radio and TV station in Belgrade was a military objective is reviewed. In its long analysis, the Committee Report concludes that the building was a legitimate military target, even if this conclusion is surrounded by caveats and caution. In doing so, the Report sets a precedent, and its conclusions are acceptable. The view that media are a legitimate military objective, or may become one, is supported by the compilation of military objectives made by the ICRC in the context of its 1956 Draft Rules for the Limitation of the Dangers incurred by the Civilian Population in Time of War. According to that list of military objectives (which should have become an annex to Article 7, paragraph 2 of the Draft Rules), “installations of broadcasting and television stations” are military objectives [16]. It must be added that radio and TV stations are used (or can easily be used) for military purposes, i.e. for C3 (Command, Control and Communication). Moreover, there are instances in which the media are used to incite the population to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity, as happened in Rwanda. As the Report states: “If the media is the nerve system that keeps a warmonger in power and thus perpetuates the war effort, it may fall within the definition of a legitimate military objective.” [17] In such a case, the media may be targeted as a military objective, particularly also by those States which are not bound by Protocol I, such as the United States, whose broad definition of military objective is not in keeping with the narrow delimitation given by Protocol I.

Hezbollah backers might live next door
By DIANA WEST Published Saturday, August 5, 2006 A thought-provoking sideshow to Israel’s war on Hezbollah - and what a precious gift Israel would bestow on the free world by destroying the Hezbollah mini-state - is the effort to extract "foreign nationals" from Lebanon, some of whom have had summer vacations in Hezbollah strongholds interrupted by war. Who are these people now clamoring, by the thousands, for international rescue? Press reports label many of them "dual nationals." Some, despite their British, Swiss, U.S. or French passports, make Lebanon their home. I was quite startled to hear, in an online audio report posted by the Telegraph, that British passport-holders evacuated to Cyprus were undergoing "Home Office screening" to determine whether any "might constitute a threat because obviously we’re talking about a large number of people who have lived in the Middle East most of their lives." This presents a bizarre spectacle: Britain’s navy repatriating what you might call extreme expatriates who potentially pose a "threat" to Britain - at least as currently constituted as a partner in the so-called war on terror. This makes the following rescue headline from The Guardian all the more inapt: "Britain’s biggest sea evacuation since Dunkirk." As I recall, none of the 300,000 Dunkirk evacuees required a security screening before returning home. In this wide-open question of loyalties we might see the expanding emptiness of the modern nation-state, where basic identification with the nation itself is no longer at the core of citizenship. And that includes the United States, where, for example, a good stretch of Main Street follows the Israeli war on Hezbollah via Al Jazeera - at least Main Street in Dearborn, Mich., which writer Debbie Schlussel has described as "the heart of Islamic America, and especially Shia Islam America." As The New York Times reported from Dearborn, "For miles along West Warren - in hair salons, restaurants and meat markets - shopkeepers and their relatively few customers stared at televisions tuned in to Al Jazeera." Incidentally, there were "relatively few" customers out only because, as one baker knew, "most of his regular customers were home watching" Al Jazeera, "just as they had all day, every day," since Israel’s offensive began. Why does this matter? Al Jazeera, of course, is the relentlessly anti-American, anti-Israel, jihad-boosting "news" network. To find sets in the heartland tuned in to this station today is roughly akin to coming across an American town, circa 1942, tuned in to Axis Power propagandists Tokyo Rose and Lord Haw Haw. But this isn’t, as they say, your father’s heartland. Hezbollah itself is popular in Dearborn, which can fill a banquet hall to celebrate "Lebanon Liberation Day" - the day Hezbollah claims as its 2000 victory over withdrawing Israeli forces. Osama Siblani, the publisher of Dearborn’s Arab American News, considers Hezbollah, along with Hamas and other jihadist groups, to be "freedom fighters." And, as Siblani tells it to the Detroit News, he’s not alone: "If morally supporting Hezbollah or associating with" Hezbollah spiritual leader Muhammad Hussein "Fadlallah is a crime, ‘there is not (sic) going to be enough buses to haul the people out and take them to jail.’ " Siblani was speaking before the Israeli offensive began but not before the 1983 Hezbollah bombings in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. servicemen, 63 U.S. Embassy personnel and 58 French paratroopers. And not before the 1984 Hezbollah torture-murder of CIA Lebanon station chief William Buckley. And not before the 1985 Hezbollah hijacking of TWA Flight 847 and torture-murder of Navy diver Robert Stethem. And not before the 1988 Hezbollah torture-murder of Col. William Higgins. And not before the Hezbollah bombings of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992, killing 29; the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994, killing 96; or the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996, killing 19 U.S. servicemen. American sympathy for Hezbollah profanes American dead. In our wide-open society, however, such allegiance isn’t considered beyond the pale. But it should be. And it could be. I have long argued that the "war on terror" is an amorphous term, sacrificing clarity for fuzzy political correctness. What if we, as a nation, belatedly declared war on specific jihadist groups - al-Qaida and Hezbollah and other organizations dedicated to our destruction? This would have the tonic effect of clarifying not only our enemies’ identity, but our own. We can’t fight if we don’t know who we’re fighting. We can’t win if we don’t know who we are. http://www.columbiatribune.com/2006/...805Comm001.asp heh
