Deliberating over Deliberate Crimes

Pity the poor people of South Lebanon; when they finally get rid of the Israelis in 2000, they then have to put with the rise of Hezbollah and the influence of its Syrian mentors. Now they're being deliberately murdered wholesale by the Israeli army.

What is with this Israeli state? Do they really have to murder all around them to survive? Imagine if we all took that attitude... No, it's not a nice picture. Even when they deliberately kill a bunch of UN personnel to get them out of the way so that they can continue to clear the whole area, the UN can't actually condemn it for what it is. Instead, our good friends the Americans and their "bitches in Europe" the Brits block the UN from making a true statement to the effect that the Isralis deliberately murdered its own personnel. So then, the Israelis turn around and say "The world agrees with our operation and won't condemn it." What a load of ... I don't know. Here's an interesting story I heard from a former Irish soldier who had served in Lebanon - I was shocked at the time, but it only serves to corroborate the kind of stuff I've heard from the limited number of Palestinian friends that I've known and whose testimonies I've always considered as about as reliable as, say a Catholic from the Falls Road describing British foreign policy.

Our soldier friend tells me that he was at a roadblock when a small Israeli patrol in light armour approached the UN checkpoint and says: "Let us through there, my good man. We wish to go after some bold guys." Yourman says no, that no foreign army is allowed to go through the checkpoint. So, our Jewish friends go back, and, guess what? Don't they return a few hours later, only this time they have many more soldiers and a large tank. The Israelos demand to invade Lebanon temporarily in order to go after people they considered bad, but our Irish friend and his comrades don't let him. The cannon is aimed at the checkpoint and the lid of the tank opens (I presume you call it a lid) and out pops what my friend described as a "Dublin Yid" - who shouts in a strong Dublin accent: "Get outta the foockin' way or I'll blow your fookin' checkpoint into fookin' smithereens!" His shocked fellow countrymen granted the bastards their wish. "Why did you let them through?" I asked.
"Because they were going to destroy our installation."
"But did you not complain to your UN commanders?" I asked, already knowing what the answer would be.
"Yeah, we did. But nothing was done, because the UN is controlled by the US and they're the Israelis' biggest allies."
