    The Middle East part 2

    And again on CNN now Ben Wedeman reporting from Tyre lebanon who went to the scene says the building was NOT hit directly but rather slid into the crater next to it.

    That knife cuts both ways just as hard. Whenever Israel does follow UN resolutions it is met with a situation in which the Arabs only see that as victory for them and demand more and more compromises from Israel while totally ignoring the fact that they have to do their part of the resolutions and a total apathy of the UN to do anything to force the Arabs to comply. If you really think these sort of high morals hold up when it's your people being blown up in busses, bars and restaurant then you need to have reality check. Either Israel goes after the terrorists, which leads to collatoral damage, or they do nothing, showing the terrorists that they can do as they please as long as they hide behind the innocent afterwards. Again these vehicles and structures are being used by terrorist organisations to hide and supply their field personel. These structures and vehicles are attacked because their used as shields by terrorist organisation. It's not like the IDF are a bunch of Grand Theft Auto addicts with a strange fetish for blowing up ambulances and civilian buildings who just use a terrorist presence as an excuse to kill the innocent. These vehicles and structures are targetted because they have been made targets by the terrorists. The geneva convention, which the arabs love to wave in Israel's face, also forbids to use vehicles marked with the red cross or the red crescent in combat operations, frontline or logistic. Where are the NGO's then with their claims of war crimes? You think NATO didn't have those kind of fuck ups in Kosovo and the rest of the Yugoslavian campaign? You think the Coalition forces didnt mess up big time during both gulf wars? Do you think this didn't happen during ww2? Vietnam? Korea?ww1? Iran-Iraq? Hezbollah can only exist because there is a measure of support from the people of lebanon. Had there been very little support for them in all layers of the population then they would simply not have the ability to survive. No terrorist organisation can exist without a certain (large) amount of popular support. People seem to expect Israel to just "lay down and die when their door is kicked in" was the bob dylan song goes.

    Because the Hezbollah Missile installations are routinely and purposefully being hidding amongst these children and other civilians. A smart bomb isnt a weapon impervious to malfunctions and sudden wind changes nor does it only kill the target its aimed at. It still has a quite large blast radius and shrapnell will fly for hundreds if not thousands of feet. There are programs trying to develop Smart weapons with smaller warheads or with no explosive warhead what so ever, merely working by kenetic energy. No serious peace proposal will be accepted as long as it does not adresses Israel's safety concerns in a serious and worthwhile manner. Hezbollah must be transformed into a purely political organisation or I don't see how Israel can be honestly expected to compromise.

    well i keep looking but the Idf says they bombed it and so does everyone else. CNN everyone else btw supah pls can you provide a source for your peligrini quotes. i searched but could only find him saying that he was the one who phoned the idf to stop bombing thee outpost. Leeuwarder Courant Friday July the 28th 2006 page 5. It's a dutch article but I wouldn't mind scanning it for you and putting it online so you can have it verified by a dutch reader. The reporter on the scene clearly stated that the building itself was not hit by the bomb but succombed to structural failure after a bomb exploded near it. I too heard to anchor talking over it quickly, perhaps she didn't pick up on it perhaps she didn't want to pick up on it. Edit: Here you have examples of this Hezbollah  behaviour of using civilian structures as shields on film. Movie Still want to deny their doing it? Edit 2: The Article in question. Feel free to have verified by a dutch person that the last two paragraphs indeed say:

    They've got the right to defend themself, but they don't got the right to blow up a crowd of civilans just to get a terrorist or two. Israel claim to be a modern democratic state, and therefor demands to be treated as one, but at the same time they expect to be allowed to lower themself to the terrorists level by fighting the opposite side by killing lots of civilians and a few terrorists. Actually, they're worse than the terrorists, because according to what I've read, most of the Israeli losses are military personel, while most of the kills by Israel is civilians. When they claim to be a modern democratic state, and when they demand to be treated as one, it is their fucking duty to behave like one. And when they have to behave like one, it's their responebility to make sure that they manage to take out the terrorist leader or the rocket launcher without killing dozens of innocent civilians and laying half the city in ruins. Would you be happy if the guy next door was a Hizbollah man and made rockets for Hizbollah, and then Israel came flying by smashing his house and the house you live in, killing your family and 50 other innocent people? Or is it your fault because you happened to live next door to some guy who did bad things in his cellar? And just to give an example of how shitty job IDF does when finding targets. Yesterday I saw on the news where they interviewed a owner of a storage for pipes or something. His storage was bombed to shit because IDF though the pipes were rockets... This is not about Lebanon's right to self defence. This is about Hezbollah's claimed right to lob missiles into Israel and invade Israel's territory to kill and abduct IDF military personel. This is about the Lebanese government failing to disarm the terrorist organisation Hezbollah which they are compelled to do under UN resolution 1559. Israel kept its part of the deal by withdrawing from south Lebanon. Israel has been the victim of terror attacks purposefully aimed at civilians for years. This has lead to an attitude of "better their civilians dead then our civilians dead" when it comes to killing terrorists that are hiding amongst civilian population on purpose. The reason there are more duty personel dying on the Israeli side then civilians is because the IDF just took the fight to the Hezbollah and the IDF doesn't use it's citizens as human shields by hiding Military assets in or near population centers. That's why Israel is a modern democracy and Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation. If I found out the guy next door to me was making rockets for Hezbollah I'd move or make sure he had a unfortunate accident. Since when is it ok or acceptable to hide an arms factory in a residential structure? Israel is not to blame for attacking Hezbollah's infrastructure for terror, Hezbollah is to blame for using the civilian population as a shield in hiding these facilities in residential area's. Have you ever tried to differentiate tubes from missiles on intell pictures? I did when I was in the airforce training program. its almost impossible. especially as smaller missiles are often stored in tubular containers.

    source It was not bombed, a object near it was bombed. The building wasn't very sturdy and collapsed. the IDF did not bomb the building itself. I hear the local people on CNN saying "We offered to take them out to safety but they were poor" I.E. They couldn't pay what we wanted to take them to safety so we left them to take care of themselves. Real good samitarians those guys. If you can't get out of the south then why is beirout and Damascus too being innudated by refugees from there? If Hezbollah hadn't overplayed its hand badly the Libanese people could still have been living in safety and growing prosperity. Hezbollah robbed them of that chance. I hope their proud of themselves. The Lebanese goverment should have made more efforts to keep up their part of resolution 1559 and disarm Hezbollah. But apparently they made no effort what so ever to do this. Israel in its part did keep up its part of the bargain by withdrawing from southern lebanon.

    From CNN: "The building itself was not struck, there is a large crater next to the building. The building collapsed onto its basement Due to a nearby explosion" More a case of Hezbollah yet again moving missile installations into Population centers and near UN posts hoping it will deter IDF attacks. Translated from a dutch newspaper Who do you think know's best? A UN commander on the ground or the likes of Koffi Annan? another telling article from yahoo but ofcourse when this idiot opens fire on IDF troops or draws the attention of a IDF airstrike and the baby and his wife end up dead its the "evil zionists" fault?

    Simply don't stage stuff. Go out and look for interesting situations and places to take pictures off. I don't feel there is any need for a new thread what so ever.

    Tour de France 2006

    The fact that probably all the riders are using performance enhancing drugs is the main reason for me never liking cycling as a sport. It's only about who has the best dope.

    Hi Killagee, I don't submit pictures to airliners.net because they turn pictures down for the most inconsistant reasons. Also they seem to only like the boring spotter pictures recently.

    Hey cool Killagee that you actually are making some money of your photography. It is good enough to do so I've been stuck in a creative blackhole a bit recently where my non aviation photography is concerned. A Morane Solnier 406, used by the french airforce and extensively by the Finnish airforce against the russians. Junkers Ju-52, Famous WW2 Luftwaffe transport plane. A Jungman, a ww2 german primary trainer.
