there is no way to hide atrocites of war, its a war. This is what happens in a war. The UN observers are in a war zone. What is it they expected to happen? The UN observers saw Israeli bombs being dropped close to their location several times prior to the bomb that hit their location. There must have been Hezbollah fighters in the vicinity of the UN site to hide out. Hezbollah fighters have used ambulances and the like to avoid Israeli bombs. And when Israel finds out and hits them, Israel takes the role of the bad guy for calling Hezbollah on their bluff.
In that case, if their potentially paying taxes.. kinda breaks the argument of "Canadian gov't aka Canadian taxpayers are footing the bill".. actually.. thinking about it.. I live in the UK, not British though.. I pay all their ridiculous taxes and licenses.. I doubt they would evacuate me.. and my government would just have a laugh and send me a bottle of vodka.. bastards all around..
The IDF were made aware of the situation several times and each time they assured the UN observers that the shelling would stop. Their position was hit by a precision bomb, it was a deliberate attack on the UN and the Israelis should pay a heavy price. I guarantee this would not have happened were a US soldier at that position.
If Israel wants Lebanon they would take it. If it wanted Syria, they would take it. Hezbollah is not slowing the Israeli military down in the slightest.
Thats in contradiction to the news reports I've been watching.. but hey where does the truth lie anyway.. from what I hear the Hezbollah is fighting guerilla style and the terrain is very well suited to that..
what were they doing to deserve being murdered? being a gentile is not a good enough reason, you would think the Jews of all people would understand. Its true what they say, its the abused who go on to become abusers.
