Israel's Targeted Assassination of UN Peacekeepers

Bull's-Eye!


By MIKE WHITNEY


"People do not forget. They do not forget the death of their fellows, they do not forget torture and mutilation, they do not forget injustice, they do not forget oppression, they do not forget the terrorism of mighty powers. They not only don't forget; they also strike back."

Harold Pinter, Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech 2005


On the 17th day of a massive military offensive, Israeli Prime Minister Olmert is no closer to achieving his objectives than he was on Day 1. Olmert originally promised that he would "disarm Hezbollah" and create a buffer-zone from Israel's northern border to the Litani River. He has accomplished neither. His violent reaction to the capturing of 2 Israeli soldiers was applauded by the Bush administration, the Israeli public, and the America media. At the time, we questioned Olmert's ability to "disarm" Hezbollah ("Its Put up or Shut Time in Lebanon") or his foolish belief that the invasion would be a cakewalk. Now Israeli forces are bogged down in southern Lebanon fighting a tough-minded, well-disciplined guerilla organization with no end in sight. This has forced the panicky Olmert to call up 3 more divisions and appeal to Bush for more "precision-guided missiles"

Additionally, Olmert has begun to back-away from his promise to disarm Hezbollah and now only talks only about "weakening" them. The Israeli PM has decided to step down from his earlier rhetoric and "move the goalposts" to suit the realities on the ground. Olmert will not disarm Hezbollah and he knows it.

Canadian Soldier Says UN Position Used As Cover By Hezbollah

July 26, 2006 11:40 p.m. EST


Ryan R. Jones - All Headline News Correspondent

Beirut, Lebanon (AHN) - A Canadian UN peacekeeper killed in an Israeli air strike Tuesday complained just days before that tragic incident that his position was being used as cover by Hezbollah terrorists attacking Israel.

In an interview on CBC Radio in Toronto, Major General Lewis MacKenzie (ret.) said he had been privy to e-mails received from the soldier over the past week.

MacKenzie, who happened to know the deceased personally, said in one such correspondence the soldier "described the fact that he was taking within...three meters of his position 'for tactical necessity - not being targeted.'"

The general explained that is veiled military speech "telling us [that] Hezbollah fighters were all over his position and the IDF were targeting them."

He said using UN personnel as human shields is "a favorite trick by people who don't have representation in the UN," knowing they will suffer no direct consequences for the violation.

I guess there are no flagpole emoticons with white surrender flags to hoist. PantyWaist Olmert has cornered the market on them. He erroneously believes that the Geneva Convention rules will be shown to Israelis, though they don't extend them to Israel's victims. By the time evil Ehud, runs his up the pole, it will be covered with piss and shit of panic spewing from his panties. shitstream
