But Roth and Human Rights Watch didn't stop there. As the

death toll spiraled - with most of the casualties Lebanese civilians -

Human

Rights Watch also criticized Israel for indiscriminate attacks on

civilians.

Problem is that there were no indiscriminate Israeli attacks on

The IDF targeted places where Hizbollah was conducting military

such as launching rockets targeting northern Israeli cities, often after
leafletting the areas to advise civilians to evacuate. The Hizbollywood
crowd took advantage of the leftist, lazy, and gullible Western media

to round up bit actors (of the living and dead variety) to produce their
little propaganda pieces for US and EU viewers. Same old crap...

So even though the majority of the major western press
is either owned or controlled by Jewish people

is either owned or controlled by Jewish people right
down to the granularity of the reporters and editors,
you're saying they're anti-Israel?

That's pretty demented talk.

Unfortunately they seem to have used cluster-weapons (US supplied)
...that's pretty indiscriminate...take your lies elsewhere.

No Place for Cluster Bombs
E-Mail This Print Save
Published: August 26, 2006 NY Times
All weapons kill and maim, but some are especially insidious -- like
cluster munitions, miniature explosives packed into a bomb, rocket or
artillery shell and designed to scatter over a wide area.
This week the State Department said it was investigating whether Israel
inappropriately used American-made cluster munitions in populated areas
during its monthlong campaign in Lebanon. Whatever the specific
findings of this investigation, the rules governing cluster bomb
exports and their use by American troops need to be tightened and more
strictly enforced.

Cluster munitions are useful against tanks, massed conventional forces
and other purely military targets. But they should never be used in
populated areas. By nature they kill indiscriminately.

Because some of the bomblets fail to explode on impact, the casualties
continue to mount long after the fighting stops. These harmless-looking
objects, often no larger than flashlight batteries, explode when
inadvertently jostled or picked up. Children mistake them for toys,
with tragic results.

Washington has strict rules about how American-made cluster munitions
are supposed to be used by foreign buyers. But in the heat of combat,
those rules are not always followed. Nor are United States forces as
careful as they should be. America has used cluster munitions in Iraq,
Afghanistan and Kosovo. Israel used them in past campaigns in Lebanon.
Russia used them in Chechnya.

Israel makes its own cluster munitions as well as buying more advanced
models from the United States. It used cluster weapons extensively in
its latest campaign in Lebanon, and the majority of the unexploded
bomblets that United Nations teams have found there so far have been
American-made.

Details of current understandings between the United States and Israel
on when American-made cluster munitions can be used are secret. But in
the past, Washington limited their use to military emergencies, like
the kind of attack on Israeli territory by multiple Arab armies that
last occurred in 1973. In the unlikely event of that happening again,
Washington should provide whatever cluster munitions Israel needs to
augment its own supplies.

But today's dangers are different, and require different responses.
Attacking guerrilla or terrorist sanctuaries in populated areas is not
a mission that calls for cluster weapons, and the United States should
not be supplying them.
