Why is this a one-time only story, yet we get shovels of shit everyday regarding "Islamic terrorists?
"Israeli Bomblets Plague Lebanon...
Cluster bombs Israel dropped in the waning days of the [Lebanese] war... southern Lebanon is littered with one million exploded bomblets, far outnumbering the 650,000 people living in the region. They are stuck in the branches of olive trees and the broad leaves of banana trees. They are on rooftops, mixed in with the rubble and littered across fields, farms, driveways, roads and outside schools.
Muhammad Hassan Sultan, a slender brown-haired 12-year-old, became a postwar casualty when the shrapnel from a cluster bomb cut into his head and neck. He was from Sawane, a hillside village with a panoramic view of terraced olive farms and rolling hills. Muhammad was sitting on a hip-high wall, watching a bulldozer clear rubble, when the machine bumped a tree. A flash of a second later he was fatally injured when a cluster bomblet dropped from the branches.
Yousef Ftouni, a resident of the village: "I took Muhammad to the hospital in my car, but he was already dead."
The entire village is littered with bomblets."
The terminology cleverly masks the crime.
Remember also, reader, that the U.S. SOLD Israel THIS SHIT, and that they employed a SCORCHED EARTH POLICY by dropping the "bomblets" -- is that ever a clever euphemism, huh, as if the things are a plague, some sort scientific mutation, not a DELIBERATELY ATTENDED HUMAN ACTION! -- "in the waning days of the [Lebanese] war."
So this was done OUT of SPITE because Israel lost!
What LYING, INHUMAN, MASS-MURDERING ASSHOLES is Israel!!!
Here is more masking:
"In Lebanon there are two explanations of why Israel released cluster bombs at the end of the war: to inflict as much damage as possible on Hezbollah before withdrawing, or to litter the south with unexploded cluster bombs as a strategy to keep people from returning right away. The United States has sold cluster bombs to Israel in the past and says it is investigating whether Israel's use of cluster bombs in its war with Hezbollah violated a secret agreement that restricted when they could be used. The final days of the war... were marked by a huge Israeli offensive. Israel hoped its final push would, in part, help force the Security Council to adopt a tougher resolution on Hezbollah... Israel said it leafleted areas before bombing and provided Lebanon with maps of potential cluster bomb locations to help with the clearing process. United Nations officials in Lebanon say the maps are useless."
First of all, fucking STINK Israel's logic and excuses for this ATROCIOUS ACT of MASS-MURDER is ABSURD!
Then it says the U.S. "sold cluster bombs to Israel in the past and says it is investigating whether Israel's use of cluster bombs in its war with Hezbollah violated a secret agreement that restricted when they could be used."
The Times acts like we have no memory out here!!!
The TIMES ITSELF reported on August 11, 2006 that Israel had requested cluster munitions, and that the US was going to ship them soon. US told Israel to "be careful."
So the whole American-Israeli DIRECT and INTENTIONAL CONNECTION to this event is to be COVERED UP by the same news organization that reported it.
Useless maps? C'mon!
And WHATEVER HAPPENED to that INVESTIGATION?
Ever hear any more on ISRAEL'S CRIMES in the papers, readers?
Yeah, I thought not.
Need more proof? Let's hear from the Israelis themselves:
"The Israeli newspaper Haaretz published an article on Sept. 12 anonymously quoting the head of a rocket unit in Lebanon who was critical of the decision to use cluster bombs.
Haaretz quoted the commander as saying: "What we did was insane and monstrous; we covered entire towns in cluster bombs."
Repeated efforts to get Israeli officials to explain the rationale behind the use of the bombs have proved fruitless, with spokesmen referring all queries to short official statements arguing that everything done conformed with international law."
I thank, and may God Bless, the brave Israeli who described what they did as " insane and monstrous." He restores my faith in the Jewish people.
Because of the structure of society, I need reminding that Zionists are not representative of all Jews.
The equation of Israeli Zionism with all Jews is actually self-destructive to all Jews; I wish they would realize this.
And how about that Israeli double-speak that Israel constantly shovels day-after-day, never being called to account, either!
HOW DARE THEY cite international law?
Everybody now knows Israel is a ROGUE and CRIMINAL NATION!!!!!
And the effect on South Lebanon?
"After this war... there are two types of cluster bomb fragments across the south... a large percentage of unexploded bomblets were made in America, while some where produced in Israel. Each one has a white tail dangling off the back, like the tail of a kite. As they fall to the ground, the tail spins and unscrews the firing pin. When the device hits, the front end fires a huge slug while the casing blasts apart into a spray of deadly metal fragments. When they fail to detonate they cling to the ground, and with their white tails look deceptively like toys, so children are often those who are injured.
Simon Lovell, a supervisor with one of the clearance teams, as he looked at five unexploded bomblets poking out of the soft, rocky soil of the Hussein family farm: "This is what they are living with everyday (New York Times October 6, 2006)."
And they still have not cleared the area after a year from what I've read!
So THERE IT IS, right there in balck-and-white: USrael GUILTY of WAR CRIMES!!
And the terminology! The "bomblets" look like "toys," the cute little "bomblets" that look like a "kite."
The sickest beings in the world are the War Profiteers who use such euphemisms to describe their INHUMAN, MURDERING WARES!
