Israel, Lebanon, Etc Crisis

[no yu begin wher i end]

Attacking ambulances and the like is a war crime. So is using emergency vehicles to transport weapons and troops, which Hamas and Hezbollah have been known to do. But still, what a fuck-up.

Israel 'accidentally' attacked a UN post (LINK) and 2 Red Cross ambulances (LINK).

 

The UN post has been there since 1972, everyone knew where it was. First, they shelled the area for six hours while the UN people called them 10 times to tell them to stop because they were endangering UN lives. Then they were hit with a precision-guided missile.

 

What the fuck is up with that? Israel is saying it was an accident, but c'mon... a precision-guided missile sends a clear message whether you want it to or not.

 

And then the very next day, two clearly marked Red Cross ambulances are attacked by an Israeli gunship for... some reason.

 

Could the fact that they know they have automatic immunity by way of the USA be a factor here? Maybe they really were just accidents...?

And have you noticed how Harper is not blaming Israel at all even AFTER the Israeli's said that this particular outpost was going to be spared? And now a Canadian UN observer is dead. wtf is up with that! However, in Israel's defense, precision-guided missiles are not as precision as the name suggests. However you are hitting on a very important point, they certainly act with immunity, they have not in any way ever had to be accountable to their occupied population or to their other national colleagues for any of their actions
