OT: Lebanese deaths, and Israeli war crimes, kept off the balance sheet |
Lebanese deaths, and Israeli war crimes, kept off the balance sheet
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14582.htm
By Jonathan Cook in Nazareth
08/16/06 "Information Clearing House" -- -- During Israel's war
against the people of Lebanon, our media, politicians and diplomats
have colluded with the aggressors by distracting us with irrelevancies,
by concocting controversies, and by framing the language of diplomacy.
In the fragile truce that is currently holding while Lebanon waits for
Israel to withdraw, we are simply getting more of the same.
One example of the many distractions during the war that neatly reveals
their true purpose is the "faked Reuters photograph" affair. The
supposed scandal of a Lebanese photographer tampering with a picture to
add and darken smoke from an Israeli missile attack -- to little or no
effect, it should be noted -- has not only been decried by activists on
Zionist websites but amplified by mainstream commentators into a debate
about whether we can trust the images of this war.

Funny, because that's exactly what this is too. By using irrelevant
and illogical terms like war crimes to demonize someone, when there is
clear legal precedence for israels actions.
Why is it the term 'war crimes' is never used for dictators and
religious fascists which slaughter, torture and oppress people at a
whim and have killed and injured far more people, with the intent of
violating every ethical, moral and legal guideline?

What legal precedence, Quisling?

Sorry dude, but article above did not once use words: war crimes

Because term implies that there has to be a declaration of war between
two or more countries- thus war crimes. What you describe looks more
like 'crimes against humanity'.
