Qana – What if Hezbollah purposely killed them for propaganda?

Question

What if the number dead turns out to be BS too?

I merely asked – what if? We've had many examples over the years of stories settling out quite differently than they are first reported.

Answer 1

That thought occurred to me this morning. I think it was a setup to get public opinion on the side of the terrorist Hezbollah. The pictures clearly showed the rockets being fired from that location. They could have fired from many other places, but chose that area to be a very recognizable target where they had placed the children and older people. Hope they will be found out, but who would listen anyway. I can understand that Israel would apologize even if they had no idea how it happened. Terrorist are always killing innocent people so what is new. If the F-15 killed them, then it is awful. You would expect terrorist to do this type thing ... just business as usual. Hezbollah may not have killed them, but may very well have set things up so they would be killed by putting them there and then firing the rockets at that place.

Answer 2

why do you spread this with no proof? i have seen this claim several times and i turn up NOTHING when i google it. what are you looking at that makes you believe this is likely?

if you are just spreading this rumor, you should think of how we felt after 9-11. you should think of that guy in europe who just went to jail for holocaust denial. war atrocities are horrifying enough without people going around and making up rumors or parroting ones they've heard but not bothered to investigate.

that is horrifying if true, but i am more horrified that you would go around claiming it with absolutely nothing to back it up. if it isn't true, you are lying about dead children.

ok, now that you have added your "proof":

"Another possibility is that the rickety building remained standing for a few hours, but eventually collapsed. "It could be that inside the building, things that could eventually cause an explosion were being housed, things that we could not blow up in the attack, and maybe remained there, Brigadier General Eshel said.

"I'm saying this very carefully, because at this time I don't have a clue as to what the explanation could be for this gap," he added.

why aren't you saying it carefully? the idf guy who is quoted also says there was another attack at 7:30 am, half an hour before the building comes down and only 400 meters away, so apparently he does have some clue. and on the freeper article, some of the times on the photos were misreported! in fact, every article you link seems to start with this single quote! are you into those 9-11 conspiracies too?

my question for you is... why are your standards so low?

Answer 3

it's disgusting how people always seek to find excused on such bloody brutal acts ....all of you for your info the twon qana is far away from israeli borders where no attack can be started from there also it's not a muslim town where hezbollah can hide or take homes also there's no esxistance for hezbollah in that town ...when the massacre happened before in 1996 the victims where escaping from airstrikes and they went to seek support from the UN soldiers and un accepted them and they were shletered in the un place when warriors rained them with shells at the un's place again no hezbollah casualties were reported ...so stop f*** support these brutal acts and claim that hezbollah uses them as human shelids they never did and they never will do ..how come none of hezbollah were injured if they were at that area ...is the fact is that israeli people are blood thirst ******* who doesn't give a damn about any humanity same as all suckers here who support them and try to make excuses for what they are doing

Answer 4

Israeli army already admitted they bombed Qana- so your question is simply not valid.Did Hezbullah also kill civilians in Qana in 1996?Did Hezbullah kill the UN officials in lebanon?
Isreali govt says Hezbullah uses civilians as shields, which is not a surprise lie to hear.Based on these sick allegations,this is an answer from another question :

*Were Hezbullah planting weapons in Beirut Intl airport?
*Were Hezbullah planting their fighters among the 4 UN officials killed by Israeli army?
*Were Hezbullah planting their fighters among civilians in the first Qana Massacre as well(This is the 2nd Qana Massacre)?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qana
*Are Hezbullah disguising their fighters among civilian cars bombed when they were trying to flee to a safer area?
*Are Hezbullah hiding among civilians in Gaza in Palestine?

Your assumptions are a disrespect and total lack of honour to the lives of innocent civilians.

Answer 5

It wouldn't be the first time Israel has drooped bombs on civilians on purpose and I'm sure it's not the last time...Until the investigation in Qana is not complete(if it will ever be) I am sure that Hezbollah had nothing to do with it...

Answer 6

Its possible. If not, Israel just made a terrible mistake. They didn't mean for it to happen. That's the worst thing about war. Terrorist always hide around innocent people.

Answer 7

Braindead comments like this really aren't helpful.

Ehud Olmert apologised for the attack. Why would he do this if it was staged by Hezbollah?

Answer 8

I believe it about the same way I believe the CIA was responsible for 9/11 and Osama Bin Laden had nothing to do with it? (didn't you hear him say that he did it?)

Answer 9

Mix-Master i couldnt say it in a btter way, except for removing the inappropriate words :)

OTHERS, please stop asking already "answered" questions! dont just make a fuss out of nothing!

Answer 10

if Hezbollah kill them then Hezbollah are murderers. But what will you say if Israeli F-15 killed them?????????
