Funds Running Out To Remove Israeli Cluster Bombs From Lebanon

First a recap from 2006.

Israel runs out, US rushed more cluster bombs to drop

Israel Refuses to give locations of cluster bombs it dropped in Lebanon to UN de-miners

"Israel continues to ignore requests for data that would assist clearing the estimated one million unexploded bomblets, which continue to kill and maim civilians and decimate rural livelihoods"

IDF commander: We fired more than a million cluster bombs in Lebanon

"What we did was insane and monstrous, we covered entire towns in cluster bombs," the head of an IDF rocket unit in Lebanon said regarding the use of cluster bombs and phosphorous shells during the war."


Mohamed Samer Elhaz Moussm aged 12, October 2006

Now. De-mining operations in South at risk over lack of funding

"Waning international interest and funding is harming efforts to rid southern Lebanon of its hundreds of thousands of remaining cluster bomblets, posing a continuing threat to farmers and children, according to mine clearance organizations. Israel dropped a large number of cluster bombs on southern Lebanon during the summer 2006 war. Each bomb can release hundreds of individual bomblets, and about a quarter failed to explode on impact, effectively becoming landmines that can kill or maim."

Almost a year to the day after the kid above had his legs chopped off and many more Lebanese were killed and injured from the cluster bombs - Israel to Get $30 Billion in Military Aid From U.S.

See anything wrong here?

I have to wonder what the Middle East would be like if there were a true balance of power there - if the Palestinians were as well armed as the Israelis.

Then the Israelis would find some weaker opponent to brutalize, something they've been good at for decades. As we saw in Lebanon in 2006, the vaunted IOF chewed off much more than they could handle against the well armed and determined Hezbollah, thinking they would be as weak and disorganized as the poor palestinians.
This is something that should be examined but I haven't come across much. The ever truculent ziofascists are actually cowards, only provoking war with people they can slaughter with impunity. If they started in with Iran I think it will quickly go nuclear because the IOF wouldn't have the stomach for successful and protracted conquest.
And these criminals are our "bestest little buddy".

I think I figured out the real reason for all the cluster bombs being used by Israel. That picture of the kid with no arms and legs can be sold to the CIA and Mossad as propaganda to be used in Afghanistan and Sudan.

They simply change the caption to, "young victim of barbarian justice had arms and legs decapitated for stealing loaf of bread for starving family".

You know nick, you're on to something as far as propaganda is concerned.
People are left scratching their heads how the zios can openly act like deranged mad shits and wantonly murder and destroy like sick psycho killers. It's very possible the devastation of their drugged blood orgies are waved about as sort of a "don't mess with us or else" warning.
