The Planned Demolition of Lebanon

The death and destruction continues. With our help.

"By now, it should be apparent that Israel’s military campaign has nothing to do with Hezbollah’s capturing of the two Israeli soldiers on July 14. The present plan, which was drawn up more than a year ago (and of which high-ranking members of the Bush administration were fully briefed) is designed to establish a new northern border for Israel at the Litani River and create an “Israel-friendly” regime in Beirut."

"The media portrayal of the current conflict is blatantly absurd. It has nothing to due with “captured soldiers” or Israel’s “right to defend itself.” This is a traditional war with clear territorial and political objectives. The border controversy is nonsense. Israel is trying to seize more land to realize its vision of “Greater Israel,” while reducing an adjacent Arab country to a “permanent state of colonial dependency.”

The oil spill from Israeli attacks is causing massive environmental damage. Nobody can get to it to even assess the damage. The entire Mediterranean is at risk.

"The Israeli navy has maintained more than three weeks of sea blockade, preventing ships from entering or leaving Lebanese ports without its prior approval."

Civilians are told to flee. But wait, civilians are told to stay out of cars.
One million Lebanese are refugees. That's one quarter of the population, equivalent to 75 million americans.
