According to the Human Rights Association's report, Israel made its Arab citizens vulnerable to Hizbullah's rockets in the following ways:
* Permanent military bases, including army camps, airfields and weapons factories, as well as temporary artillery positions that fired thousands of shells and mortars into southern Lebanon were located inside or next to many Arab communities.
* The Israeli army trained soldiers inside northern Arab communities before and during the war in preparation for a ground invasion, arguing that the topography in these communities was similar to the villages of south Lebanon.
* The government failed to evacuate civilians from the area of fighting, leaving Arab citizens particularly in danger. Almost no protective measures, such as building public shelters or installing air raid sirens, had been taken in Arab communities, whereas they had been in Jewish communities.
Under the protocols to the Geneva Conventions, parties to a conflict must "avoid locating military objectives within or near densely populated areas" and must "endeavour to remove the civilian population from the vicinity of military objectives". The Human Rights Association report clearly shows that Israel cynically broke these rules of war.
It apparently never occurred to anyone in our leading human rights organisations or the Western media that the same moral and legal standards ought be applied to the behaviour of Israel and Hizbullah during the war on Lebanon 18 months ago. Belatedly, an important effort has been made to set that right.
A new report, written by a respected Israeli human rights organisation, one representing the country's Arab minority not its Jewish majority, has unearthed evidence showing that during the fighting Israel committed war crimes not only against Lebanese civilians -- as was already known -- but also against its own Arab citizens. This is an aspect of the war that has been almost entirely neglected until now.
If there is a more depraved, sadistic and murderous nation on the face of the earth other than Israel, it would have to be Israel's supplier of weapons, money and political backing, the USA.
These two nations are largely responsible for most of the terrorist acts in the world thru assassinations, false-flag ops and outright slaughter of civilians with their phony "War on Terror."

not even in the afterlife, a definite possibly in sheol.
the great whore is now symbolically dead, and will soon fall. the great satan too, scorns the harlot for what he made her, unto the same fate.
there is no appeasing the zabelonians, they are as racist and greedy as it gets. they are like a flashback into european colonialism, very dark days indeed. this must stop, there is no excuse!!
do you see the beautiful people, ethnic peoples of all kinds.. wiped out senselessly by these alien cowards.
to cry foul about but from the Arab population?
Zionist Jews are the most arrogant and ruthless supremacists on earth. Of this I am convinced.
And as far as arming people and nations for genocide - israel ranks 4th IN THE WORLD in arms exports - wrap your mind around that!
Imagine a country the size of NEW JERSEY exporting more weapons than the entire United Kingdom.
It says a lot about what they value. The love of money is the love of self above all else.
But, alas the golden calf will not hear their cries for help when the sea of injustice they've created finally swallows them.
To hell with them and any who support them.
