http://www.asiantribune.com/index.php?q=node/1208UN Human Rights Commissioner warns of war crimes in Lebanon



  
Sun, 2006-07-23 01:52

By Chris Marsden – World Socialist Web Site  
 The statement by United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
Louise Arbour that war crimes may have been committed in the Lebanon conflict was deliberately couched in diplomatic terms.
Arbour took pains to identify both Israel and Hezbollah as
potentially guilty parties. Nevertheless, there was little doubt that
her target was Tel Aviv, and her warning that liability for war crimes
is not restricted to the military, but extends to politicians who
approve their operations was also meant to be heard by Israel's
political backers in Washington and London.
Her reference to the "scale of killings in the region," and "the
supreme obligations to protect civilians" under international law could
only be directed at Israel, given the massive and disproportionate
violence it has meted out.millions throughout the world believe that Israeli Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert, President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony
Blair should face war crimes charges. And Arbour is fully aware of the
outrage and disgust that has been aroused internationally by the
appalling destruction heaped upon the Lebanese people by the Israel
Defence Forces (IDF) with the unconditional backing of the US and
Britain.
Arbour is in fact acting as friendly counsel, advising the Israeli,
US and British governments that they are setting in motion forces that
are not under their control.
Without at least making such a warning, the stench of hypocrisy that
pervades international politics—when only those who fall foul of
Washington such as Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein face human
rights charges—would be overwhelming.
Israel's actions in the Lebanon
are in clear contravention of the 1949 Geneva Convention. Article 51 of
the First Protocol states, "The civilian population as such, as well as
individual civilians, shall not be the object of attack." Article 52
states, "Attacks shall be limited strictly to military objectives"
As Arbour explained, "Indiscriminate shelling of cities constitutes a foreseeable and unacceptable targeting of civilians.
"Similarly, the bombardment of sites with alleged military
significance, but resulting invariably in the killing of innocent
civilians, is unjustifiable."
Israel has no defence against such charges. Its claim to be
targeting Hezbollah and a supposed infrastructure of terrorism is
obscene, given the scale of its actions against the entire Lebanese
people.
Lebanon
has been subjected to a total sea and air blockade, leaving its
population of 3.5 million unable to seek any refuge from a daily
bombardment by aircraft, tanks and gunboats.
Well over 300 people have been killed and thousands injured—many of them children.
Israel's offensive began with the systematic destruction of Lebanon's
infrastructure, including its only international airport, power plants,
water treatment facilities, roads and bridges. But it was not long
before it began shelling the predominantly Shia neighborhoods in
Beirut, claiming that every house was potentially sheltering Hezbollah
fighters. This is Tel Aviv's pathetic attempt to justify attacks on
civilian targets with claims that they have a "dual use."
Amidst the occasional strike on actual Hezbollah facilities,
thousands of homes have been destroyed in one of the most densely
populated areas of Lebanon. Reporters allowed to visit the area speak of it having been "laid waste" and "pummeled."
One report described how "Eight-or nine-storey buildings had their
façades blown out by blasts; others lean forward as if about to fall.
Sofas, mattresses, toys, books and every personal possession imaginable
litter the streets among chunks of concrete, twisted metal and
blown-out window frames. Electrical cables dangle everywhere. Walking
through it all is treacherous."
On Thursday evening, the Israeli Air Force dropped 23 tons of
explosives on the Bourj al-Barajneh suburb, with two dozen jets using
special burrowing bombs. The explanation offered by Israel was that it
was seeking to kill Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah. This is
merely seeking to justify one war crime with another. Like the US,
Israel has an official policy of assassinating its political opponents.
But this is illegal under international law.
The claim that Israel is targeting Hezbollah has been used to sanction attacks on civilians throughout southern Lebanon—an
offensive that amounts to ethnic cleansing. It is a staggering fact
that official estimates are of 500,000 internally displaced people in
the country, fully a seventh of the entire population.
Israel has now dropped leaflets throughout the area warning
residents to leave their homes as it is going to attack. There are
widespread predictions that a ground invasion is imminent. Once again,
the leaflets are meant as pr

2006-07-22 Thread muckblit
The 11,000 trailers built in Arkansas were originally said to be for
parking beside damaged homes. They were to house residents while they
rebuilt their homes a few feet from these trailers.

This story takes the blame off of Bush and any cronies profiting just as
much from unused trailers and utilized trailers. The blame is projected
on residents who are supposedly at fault for choosing not to use the
trailers in trailer parks.

For residents, the choice is the same as for the Abramoff prison cruise
ships. New Orleans residents chose not to use them, either, because
they, like these trailer parks, are far from the damaged homes they want
to restore, and far from potential jobs.

Did any Bush cronies profit from the unused Abramoff prison cruise
ships, or the 11,000 unused trailers built in Arkansas?

[cia-drugs] Reassessing the Hariri assassination in the light of recent events

Reassessing the Hariri assassination in the light of 
recent events


Reassessing the Hariri assassination in the light of recent events:

  The Hariri assassination, immediately blamed on Syria (with no evidence 
  other than the lies promoted by Mehlis), led directly to Syria being forced to 
  withdraw its troops from Lebanon.  It is obvious that that step 
  was a necessary precondition of Israeli involvement in Lebanon. 
  The huge mystery of the current Israeli adventures is why Israel is 
  sacrificing so much international goodwill in murdering innocent Lebanese 
  civilians, when its stated goal is ‘self-defense’ against Hezbollah.  In 
  fact, Israel is spending an inordinate amount of time destroying Lebanese 
  infrastructure and making direct attacks against the Lebanese army, the latter 
  particularly odd if Israel really wants the Lebanese army to disarm 
  Hezbollah.  Israel’s actions are actually strengthening the position of 
  Hezbollah, which isn’t so odd when you consider the fact that Israel has 
  long helped to create its own enemies in order to have an excuse for 
  colonialist attacks against them.  In this case, attacks against the 
  central Lebanese government and army appear to be leading to an argument that 
  Lebanon – newly destroyed Lebanon – is incapable of living up 
  to its international obligations to disarm Hezbollah, leading directly to 
  the necessity of Israel entering Lebanon to do the job itself.  
  Israel has another motive in wanting to destroy Lebanese civil society, as 
  such destruction is part of the Zionist Plan for the Middle East.  
  Ideally, Lebanon will end up fractured on ethnic lines, following the 
  Yinon plan of breaking all of Israel’s potential enemies into tiny 
  statelets.  A peaceful and tolerant and wealthy Lebanon is bad publicity 
  for the general Zionist line that Arabs are incapable of such progress. 
  Hariri was one of the main architects of the reconstruction of Lebanon, 
  and would not have stood for its re-destruction.  He had a lot of 
  powerful friends around the world, and would probably have been able to 
  prevent the current Israeli attacks.  Even if the attacks had done 
  damage, he would have been able to lead the re-reconstruction, thwarting 
  Israeli long-term plans.  It was thus necessary to remove him as a 
  precondition of the current Israeli attacks. 
  The original Official Story of the Hariri assassination was that it was an 
  underground explosion of a type that only the Syrian intelligence services 
  could have handled.  When it turned out that the evidence indicated a 
  truck bomb, the propaganda machine turned 180 degrees and declared that it was 
  the work of an ‘al Qaeda’ group hired by the Syrians (odd given the fact that 
  the Syrian government is probably the biggest enemy of al Qaeda).  We 
  have recently seen that the Israeli spy ring in 
  Lebanon had very curious connections to al Qaeda organizations in 
  Lebanon.  It is not difficult to see how Israel managed to cloak the 
  Hariri assassination, now clearly part of the current attack on Lebanon, in 
  such a way as to direct blame towards Syria, thus leading directly to the 
  removal of Syrian troops. 
  Israel has a number of goals in its current attacks, the ultimate one 
  being fooling the Americans into another war for Israel, this time against 
  Syria.  The most feasible goal, however, is water.  With the 
  connivance of the Americans, Israel is resisting calls for any kind of 
  ceasefire or negotiated settlement, as that would prevent Israel from 
  achieving its real goal of seizing southern Lebanon, including control over 
  the water in the Litani river (some of which is already being stolen by the 
  Israelis).  UN peacekeepers would make such a goal impossible, and 
  so UN involvement must be resisted.  The plan is to take over southern 
  Lebanon under the guise of creating a Hezbollah-free buffer zone to 
  protect Israel from Hezbollah rocket attacks.  Of course, we’re supposed 
  to forget the fact that the dangerous rocket attacks – the ones that 
  haven’t been faked by the IDF – only occurred 
  after the Israeli attack on Lebanon, and the fact that a buffer zone 
  will have no effect on Hezbollah’s ability to send rockets into Israel.  
  The real goal of the buffer zone will be to allow Israel to begin to siphon 
  off greater quantities of Lebanese water. 
It is only in the light of the ongoing crimes being committed by Israel in 
Lebanon that we can come to a full understanding of the real reason for the 
assassination of Rafik Hariri.  Like Hollis Mulwray in the movie Chinatown, Hariri died so that 
water could be stolen.

[cia-drugs] NEW BOOK: David Ray Griffin

2006-07-22 Thread Vigilius Haufniensis





NEW BOOK





Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11: A Call to 
Reflection and Action 

David Ray GriffinWestminster 
John Knox Press, 2006 


"Professor David Ray Griffin has a well-deserved 
reputation for the thoroughness of his research. All Americans who love their 
country enough to dig into the facts of these critical times will be well 
rewarded by examining his books. 9/11 truth is a very important issue---one with 
the power to bring lasting change to our country.”-—The Reverend William 
Sloane Coffin Jr, author of Credo: Letters to a Young Doubter 
and A Passion for the Possible: A Message to U.S. 
Churches “If you are open to recognizing that the 
United States behaves much as other great powers have behaved, but you get your 
information through standard American channels, I dare you to expose yourself to 
the facts Griffin summarizes, facts that have been suppressed by our newspapers 
and magazines. If you are one who wants to be a disciple of Jesus, you will have 
some hard thinking to do about what American Christians are called to be and to 
do at this historical moment.”-—John B. Cobb Jr, co-author of The 
American Empire and the Commonwealth of God “Are we brave 
enough to read this nerve-wracking book, one of the most important theological 
texts of our time? Rooted in the longstanding belief that Christians share 
responsibility for shaping a more justice-loving world, Griffin makes a strong 
case that the real "conspiracy theory" about 9/11 is the Bush Administration's 
silly notion that nineteen young Arab men could have pulled it off. Griffin 
helps us wrestle with questions that are almost too much to bear, yet which may 
empower us, if we dare, to build a more truthful and, over time, more deeply 
moral nation and world.”---The Reverend Carter Heyward, Robbins Professor 
of Theology Emerita, Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and 
author of Saving Jesus from Those Who Are Right and God in the 
Balance: Christian Spirituality in Times of Terror  “A 
gripping account of precedents for the current global empire, from the Rome of 
Jesus to twentieth-century ‘false-flag’ operations. . . . His wake-up call to 
U.S. Christians will be evaded at our peril.”—-Catherine Keller, 
Professor of Theology, Drew University, and author of God and Power. 
 “In two earlier books, David Ray Griffin established himself 
as one of the foremost researchers into 9/11. This book is of immensely greater 
scope and importance. . . . It sees the contemporary world clearly and 
synoptically in an informed Christian perspective, so that it makes questions of 
theodicy and the roots of evil as contemporary as the events of 9/11. Even 
though it makes some claims and arguments I disagree with, I consider this one 
of the most significant and original books I have ever read.”-—Peter Dale 
Scott, author of Drugs, Oil, and War: The United States in Afghanistan, 
Colombia, and Indochina "WARNING: If, like most Americans 
calling themselves Christian, you prefer the comfort of acquiescing in the 
official version of 9/11 and the imperial wars it facilitated, DROP THIS BOOK 
NOW. But if you are open to the grace of honest inquiry and the risk of 
following the historical Jesus in confronting the evils of empire, this 
rigorously argued book is a MUST READ.”---Ray McGovern, CIA veteran 
analyst now with Tell the Word, a project of the ecumenical Church of the 
Saviour, Washington, D.C. "David Griffin has previously made 
the case for the Bush administration’s complicity in 9/11 and the cover-up of 
this evidence by the 9/11 Commission.  Here, in this important book, he 
puts these shocking realities in the context of Christian theology and the 
challenge to the churches. In a profound exploration of the nature and history 
of the demonic, Griffin suggests that American empire is a culmination of human 
demonic alienation from God."-—Rosemary Radford Ruether, emeritus 
scholar, Claremont Graduate University and Claremont School of 
Theology “Do American Christians want the United States to act 
like the New Rome, invading other countries to impose its imperial rule and its 
control of other peoples’ resources? That, however, is just what the US is 
doing, increasingly so since 9/11, explains David Griffin. In this gripping 
summary of evidence for the truth behind 9/11 and the 9/11 Commission report, 
Griffin makes a compelling case that the imperial practices of the American 
government have become a destructive force in the world. And he clarifies the 
biblical and theological basis for Christians to challenge the resurgent 
American imperialism that often claims divine blessing on its destructive 
actions.”-—Richard A. Horsley, Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts 
and the Study of Religion, University of Massachusetts, and author of Jesus 
and Empire: The Kingdom of God and the New World Disorder

[cia-drugs] MAUREEN DOWD: Condi�s Flying Dutchman

2006-07-22 Thread MA PA



MAUREEN DOWD: Condi’s Flying DutchmanPor MAUREEN DOWD - Saturday, Jul. 22, 2006 at 11:40 AM  "The cowboy president bet the ranch on Iraq, and that war has made almost any other American action in the Arab world, and any Pax Americana that might have been created there, impossible. Its fitting that Condi is the Flying Dutchman, since Lebanon represents the shipwreck of our Middle East policy."Dowd: Flying Dutchman OP-ED COLUMNIST Condi’s Flying Dutchman By MAUREEN DOWD Published: July 22, 2006 Having inadvertently built up Iran with his failures in Iraq, President Bush is eager now to send Iran a shock-and-awe message through Israel. As USA Today noted about summer movies, the hot trend in heroines is not the damsel in distress.
 Its the damsel who causes distress. Uma, Oprah. Oprah, Condi. The more W. and his tough, by-any-means-necessary superbabe have tried to tame the Middle East, the more inflamed the Middle East has become. Now the secretary of state is leaving, reluctantly and belatedly, to do some shuttle diplomacy that entails little diplomacy and no shuttling. Its more like air-guitar diplomacy. Condi doesnt want to talk to Hezbollah or its sponsors, Syria and Iran Syria knows what it needs to do, she says with asperity and she doesnt want a cease-fire. She wants a sustainable cease-fire, which means she wants to give the Israelis more time to decimate Hezbollah bunkers with the precision-guided bombs that the Bush administration is racing to deliver.
