New report documents past quarter century of Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians…

‘The Price We Pay’ seeks to counterbalance influence of Jewish lobbies
on US policy in Middle East, questions morality of American aid to Jewish state

BEIRUT: Israel was once reprimanded by the United States for its use of cluster bombs in civilian areas. In 1984, The New York Times credited Franklin P. Lamb’s first book with gathering the evidence that spurred former President Ronald Reagan’s administration into cutting off Israel’s supplies of US cluster bombs. A quarter-century on, Lamb returned to update “Israel’s War in Lebanon” (South End Press, 1984) in the wake of last summer’s war. The result is the substantial report “The Price We Pay: A Quarter-Century of Israel’s Use of American Weapons Against Civilians in Lebanon (1978-2006).”

MONTREAL (CP): The Hezbollah flag could well figure prominently when Quebec’s Lebanese community marks this weekend’s one-year anniversary of the Israeli bombing of southern Lebanon.

In a city that lost an entire family to Israeli bombs, supporters of the outlawed terrorist group have increasingly flouted the ban and become more vocal in their support.

“Who is Hezbollah? What have they done? What is their history and where do they come from? That’s what we should be talking about,” said Hussein El-Akhras, whose nephew died in the bombings. The man’s wife and children also died.

Il y a déjà un an de cela, Israël prit d’assaut le Liban, marquant de ce fait le commencement d’une guerre ayant duré au total 34 jours et qui a laissé sans vie 1 300 civils libanais. De plus, la majorité des infrastructures nationales ont été détruites et désormais, plus d’un million de bombes à fragmentation non explosées jonchent les sols du sud du Liban.

SIDON: The number of people harmed while defusing bombs and extracting mines left by the Israelis following last summer’s war has reached 205, including a reported 30 deaths.

The large number of casualties comes as a result of the massive volumes of unexploded ordinance and cluster bombs left behind by Israel across Southern Lebanon in the days immediately preceding a UN-sponsored cease-fire which brought hostilities to a halt.

JERUSALEM (AP): Militants in Lebanon fired at least two rockets into Israel on Sunday, causing no casualties and little damage, but raising the possibility of a new flare-up on the volatile border less than a year after Israel’s bloody month-long war against Hezbollah.

The old dream of Ariel Sharon is becoming a reality: Palestinians are killing Palestinians, and Israel is counting the number of victims with great satisfaction. The tears of Israeli leaders are crocodile tears, and their claims that they are sorry for the tragic developments in Gaza are mere hypocrisy. The bloody confrontations were predictable, and the Israeli-US responsibility and active involvement are crystal clear.

Despite the complete political silence of Fatah al-Islam indicating its purpose or vision of the world—save for a few empty and hastily composed statements—its fighters’ willingness to die so readily has become well known. Hence, they can be described as those affiliated to a jihadi movement a la al-Qaeda. (Lire la suite…)

Appel: Camp de réfugiés de Nahr al Bared au Liban:

Depuis le 20 mai, Nahr al Bared, camp de réfugiés palestiniens du Nord du Liban dont la population est évaluée à 40 000 habitants, était sous les bombardements de l’armée libanaise. L’assaut donné par l’armée dans le camp densément peuplé a eu lieu après un affrontement entre les forces de sécurité libanaises et un groupe armé salafiste appelé Fatah al Islam, qui s’est infiltré dans la population civile du camp.
