A French language Lebanese publication, citing an unnamed source in Hezbollah, has claimed that the organization placed a rocket launcher on the roof of the notorious building in Qana to provoke an Israeli attack and brought invalid children inside to serve as victims and blacken Israel's name.
The Lebanese magazine LIBANOSCOPIE, associated with Christian elements which support the anti-Syrian movement called the "March 14 Forces," report that Hizbullah masterminded a plan that would result in the killing of innocents in Qana, in an attempt to foil Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's "Seven Points Plan" calling for deployment of the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon and the disarming of Hizbullah. The magazine reported:
"We have it from a credible source that Hezbollah, alarmed by Siniora's plan, has concocted an incident that would help thwart the negotiations.... Hezbollah gunmen placed a rocket launcher on the roof in Qana and brought disabled children inside, in a bid to provoke a response by the Israeli Air Force. In this way, they were planning to take advantage of the death of innocents and curtail the diplomatic initiative," the site stated.
The site's editors claimed that Hezbollah staged the event because of Qana's symbolic significance: "They used Qana because the village had already turned into a symbol for massacring innocent civilians, and so they set up 'Qana 2'." The incident has indeed been dubbed "The second Qana massacre" by the Arab media.
The scenario described, which has yet to be confirmed by a named source, would explain the fact that the victims were not residents of the building and also the disproportionate number of small children and the lack of adult males among them.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese Red Cross reported on Monday that only 28 bodies, 19 of them children, were removed from the rubble. The count is half that of the 50-60 bodies still being reported by news agencies, quoting Lebanese security officials.
Evil of this magnitude cannot be comprehended; the only sane course is eradication.
The media is reporting NONE of this. WHY? Why can't the media just show the people what is going on? Even FOX News won't tell the whole story.
"2nd question: And why in God's name would you even want to?!"
Power. And the belief they can control the islam-o-fascists
thru their (the libs) socialist/marxist system.
The anti-israeli bias in the media has reached a new low.
I heard in the early reporting that many of the children were disabled. Then I never heard it reported again. My first thought then was that this was a staged event to get rid of children that were of no value. The way they paraded the dead bodies for hours, just to get pictures, was sickening.
Well stated. I agree that we need to take out their propaganda machine by any means necessary.
Things you won't see on TV.
Sad to say nor am I
bttt
Probably! But it sounds like you've done your part raising your son to go off and fight for our country.
Family tradition. His grandfather (my dad) was in the Air Force in the 60's and his great grandfather fought in WWII with the Army.
That FOX newsdork Gregg Palcott FINALLY admitted today that only 28 were killed. He's been using the 60 number all week.
He has not yet acknowledged that the children killed were placed there deliberately by Hezbollah.
Palcott needs to be working for CNN.
Please note, FOX veep in charge of assignments.
I wonder whether the Israelis will be thankful to the Christian Lebanese. After reading an earlier thread that excoriated the Lebanese Christians, I doubt it.
Bigotry is accepted, it isn't bound by the pc code.
Sick minds are required for development of a strategy like this. These guys are the devil's spawn.
And have you changed your opinion since then?
"I am shocked; shocked I tell you!" /s
Which ones? The ones that do the deeds or the ones that refuse to see the evil in those that do the deeds?
Right on, Rocky. That's why the War on Terror is as just a cause as we've ever fought.
Leave it to One Note Sambas to try and make this about abortion. Abortion is irrelevant to this incident.
"Hezbollah planted disabled children in basement to die"
I guess Hezbollah planted a bunch of Christians in a Christian neighborhood to die, as well.
