    "THOSE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE”

    The statement said, “some countries, mainly the USA, brings its financial and moral support to this massacre. This encourages Israel further. Israel is bombing the civilian targets night and day, massacring children, women, elderly civilians, as well as UN peace officers. Beyond this, energy and water resources, highways, bridges, schools, hospitals, infrastructure and houses are razed. This way, even those who survived will not be able to continue their livings.”

    “The world should 'stop' this state terrorism. International organizations should convene urgently to impose sanctions on Israel,” it noted.

    The statement also called on Hezbollah and other organizations to set free the Israeli soldiers they were abducted and put an end to their terrorist activities.

    “The bloodshed in the Middle East should be stopped. The UN should not keep silent anymore. Those, who turned the Middle East to a lake of blood, should be judged in International War Crimes Tribunal” the statement remarked.

    The ceasefire would call for an end to the fighting, but allow Israel to attack Hezbollah targets through airstrikes and doesn't require Israel to pull its troops from Lebanon. Very convenient agreement for the Israelis

    ok, i havent really looked for more info, but i thought i heard on the radio, that the Red Cross is now accusing Hesbolah and Hamas for planting boddies for media pictures whenever they can... i didnt catch the whole segment, but i caught something like out of the 50some dead bodies they found on one site, more than 26 were proven to be in more advanced stages of decomposition, most about a week old... can someone confirm?? i think its very important news if that's the truth, coz maybe this will finally smack Toma and everyone else that thinks like him out of their dreamworlds, and make them realize that they are being manipulated day in and day out, and their high and mighty so called informed opinions are nothing more that carefully orchestrated propaganda....

    Not only in Lebanon....

    Officially backed by Iran, the Lebanese group known as Hezbollah seeks to reestablish the supremacy of Islam in the political and socio-economic life of the Muslim world. Hence, as indicated by the political manifesto of the group, its goals are mainly to eradicate any western influence from Lebanon and the Middle East in general, as well as to liberate Palestinian territories and Jerusalem from Israeli occupation.

    The ultimate purpose underlying Hezbollah’s actions in Lebanon is to establish a radical Shia (or Shiite) Islamist theocracy in that country. Lebanon’s Hezbollah is indeed based on Shia ideology, whereas Turkey’s Hezbollah is predominantly rooted in Sunni Islam. Besides, in Lebanese Hezbollah, the spiritual leader assumes an important function in terms of motivating his members along the lines of the Shiite writings. This responsibility is apparently not as primordial for Kurdish Hezbollah, as notably evidenced within the Ilimciler group when Huseyin Velioglu served as political and spiritual leader despite his weak religious background or training (which actually led Fidan Gungor, the leader of the Menzilciler group, to claim Velioglu was incapable of leading his group).

    Lebanon’s Hezbollah has been active not only in Lebanon, but also throughout Europe, North America, South America and Africa. The terrorist group has resorted to various tactics, including car bombings, kidnappings and hijackings, primarily targeting western and Jewish interests. Kurdish Hezbollah, on the contrary, has not perpetrated attacks outside of Turkey, which is also why it is not technically or officially considered an international terrorism organization. In terms of affiliation with other terrorist organizations, the main difference between the two groups lies in the fact that Lebanon’s Hizballah has served as an umbrella organization for such terrorist groups as Hamas. Turkey’s Hezbollah, on the other hand, has only had very limited relationships with such groups. In addition, Turkey’s Hezbollah does not strive to be legitimized, whereas Lebanon’s Hizballah has become a major part of Lebanese politics. As such, the Lebanese Hezbollah has been struggling for the liberation of southern Lebanon from Israeli occupation for years. Furthermore, it has carried out social activities to support social, economic and educational life of the Shiite community. It thus functions like a de facto government for the Shiite people of southern Lebanon. In contrast, the functions of Kurdish Hezbollah are strictly limited to a very secret group that has nothing to do with everyday life in the community. The main purpose of Turkey’s "Party of God" is to establish a religious-based government by overthrowing the existing secular government.

    Israeli pilots 'deliberately miss' targets

    Israeli pilots 'deliberately miss' targets

    Fliers admit aborting raids on civilian targets as concern grows over the reliability of intelligence

    Inigo Gilmore at Hatzor Air Base, Israel
    Sunday August 6, 2006
    The Observer


    At least two Israeli fighter pilots have deliberately missed civilian targets in Lebanon as disquiet grows in the military about flawed intelligence, The Observer has learnt. Sources say the pilots were worried that targets had been wrongly identified as Hizbollah facilities.
    Voices expressing concern over the armed forces' failures are getting louder. One Israeli cabinet minister said last week: 'We gave the army so much money. Why are we getting these results?' Last week saw Hizbollah's guerrilla force, dismissed by senior Israeli military officials as 'ragtag', inflict further casualties on one of the world's most powerful armies in southern Lebanon. At least 12 elite troops, the equivalent of Britain's SAS, have already been killed, and by yesterday afternoon Israel's military death toll had climbed to 45.

    As the bodies pile up, so the Israeli media has begun to turn, accusing the military of lacking the proper equipment, training and intelligence to fight a guerrilla war in Lebanon. Israel's Defence Minister, Amir Peretz, on a tour of the front lines, was confronted by troubled reserve soldiers who told him they lacked proper equipment and training.

    Israel's chief of staff, Major-General Dan Halutz, had vowed to wipe out Hizbollah's missile threat within 10 days. These claims are now being mocked as rockets rain down on Israel's north with ever greater intensity, despite an intense and highly destructive air bombardment.

    As one well-connected Israeli expert put it: 'If we have such good information in Lebanon, how come we still don't know the hideout of missiles and launchers?... If we don't know the location of their weapons, why should we know which house is a Hizbollah house?'

    As international outrage over civilian deaths grows, the spotlight is increasingly turning on Israeli air operations. The Observer has learnt that one senior commander who has been involved in the air attacks in Lebanon has already raised concerns that some of the air force's actions might be considered 'war crimes'.

    Yonatan Shapiro, a former Blackhawk helicopter pilot dismissed from reserve duty after signing a 'refusenik' letter in 2004, said he had spoken with Israeli F-16 pilots in recent days and learnt that some had aborted missions because of concerns about the reliability of intelligence information. According to Shapiro, some pilots justified aborting missions out of 'common sense' and in the context of the Israeli Defence Force's moral code of conduct, which says every effort should be made to avoiding harming civilians.

    Shapiro said: 'Some pilots told me they have shot at the side of targets because they're afraid people will be there, and they don't trust any more those who give them the coordinates and targets.'

    He added: 'One pilot told me he was asked to hit a house on a hill, which was supposed to be a place from where Hizbollah was launching Katyusha missiles. But he was afraid civilians were in the house, so he shot next to the house ...

    'Pilots are always being told they will be judged on results, but if the results are hundreds of dead civilians while Hizbollah is still able to fire all these rockets, then something is very wrong.'

    So far none of the pilots has publicly refused to fly missions but some are wobbling, according to Shapiro. He said: 'Their target could be a house firing a cannon at Israel and it could be a house full of children, so it's a real dilemma; it's not black and white. But ... I'm calling on them to refuse, in order save our country from self-destruction.'

    Meron Rappoport, a former editor at the Israeli daily Haaretz and military analyst, criticised the air force's methods for selecting targets: 'The impression is that information is sometimes lacking. One squadron leader admitted the evidence used to determine attacks on cars is sometimes circumstantial - meaning that if people are in an area after Israeli forces warned them to leave, the assumption is that those left behind must be linked to Hizbollah ... This is problematic, as aid agencies have said many people did not leave ... because they could not, or it was unsafe to travel on the roads thanks to Israel's aerial bombardment.'

    These revelations raise further serious questions about the airstrike in Qana last Sunday that left dozens dead, which continues to arouse international outrage. From the outset, the Israeli military's version of events has been shrouded in ambiguity, with the army releasing a video it claims shows Katyusha rockets being fired from Qana, even though the video was dated two days earlier, and claiming that more than 150 rockets had been fired from the location.

    Some IDF officials have continued to refer vaguely to Katyushas being launched 'near houses' in the village and to non-specific 'terrorist activity' inside the targeted building. In a statement on Thursday, the IDF said it the air force did not know there were civilians in what they believed was an empty building, yet paradoxically blamed Hizbollah for using those killed as 'human shields'.

    Human rights groups have attacked the findings as illogical. Amnesty International described the investigation as a 'whitewash', saying Israeli intelligence must have been aware of the civilians'.

    One Israeli commander from a different squadron called the Qana bombing a 'mistake' and was unable to explain the apparent contradiction in the IDF's position, although he insisted there would have been no deliberate targeting of civilians. He said he had seen the video of the attack, and admitted: 'Generally they [Hizbollah] are using human shields ... That specific building - I don't know the reason it was chosen as a target.'
