Read this:
"Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing war crimes by deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure in Lebanon.
The human rights group says attacks on homes, bridges, roads and water and fuel plants were an "integral part" of Israel's strategy in the recent war.The pattern, scope and scale of the attacks makes Israel's claim that this was 'collateral damage', simply not credible," said Kate Gilmore, Executive Deputy Secretary General of Amnesty International. The document details what it describes as "massive destruction by Israeli forces of whole civilian neighbourhoods and villages", together with attacks on bridges "in areas of no apparent strategic importanceIt also says Israel targeted supermarkets, water pumping stations and water treatment plants, which may have broken a prohibition in humanitarian law against targeting objects crucial to civilian survival."

P.S. For those of you spouting out of your rears, neither do i sympathise for the Hezbullies. We are talking about the infrastructure of a whole nation that has been devastated and no winner in sight.

P.S. The human rights organisation said it would look into Hezbollah's attacks on Israel separately.

As you apparenty do not know the answer to this question and
in consideration of the total amount of information on this subject
that is available, the only way for you to truly understand would be for you to go live in either Israel or one of the surrounding Islamofaschist states for a while...
Otherwise, you are clearly just not going to get it...

There is a saying, if you mess with the bull you get the horns. I feel sorry for the Lebanese people I really do. But it was inaction by their own government that allowed this whole thing to get started.
When Israel pulled out of Lebanon in 2000 one of the conditions was the government of Lebanon was to put an end to Hezbollah attacks into Israel. But since the Israeli withdrawl nothing was done to control Hezbollah. What instigated Israel's attack was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Was their response excessive? Maybe, maybe not. Kate Gilmore complains about Israel's targeting. Ms Gilmore should first ask Hezbollah to explain why they never target anything but civilians. Israel at least targets what does have some military signifigance.
I believe a WWII General said you don't win a war by defeating the other sides army. You defeat it by eliminating the other sides army's ability to wage war.
Kate heads Amnesty International. Let her grant Amnesty to Israel for their actions.

Let's see.
Amnesty International has never condemned any attack on any Israeli or for that matter any Jew no matter what nationality. We all know the Jews are targeted and bombed by Palestinians on a regular basis.
Could it be that Amnesty International is another Antisemitic international organization like the UN?
But 2 wrongs don't make a right you say?
Well how about the fact that one of the most effective war strategies there is, is to bomb infrastructure so the civilians of the country will push harder for government to make changes that will allow for less destruction/death in the long run.
How about doing some studying before spouting off a bunch of racist Anti-Semitic libel

Amnesty International has nothing to do with amnesty and is not international except for being and international terrorist organization. Perhaps you do not know what war is, or what the results of war are, but when the muslim population of the middle east continually commits these same actions against Israel as they have been doing for over 45 years, where was Amnesty International, or any of the other fake humanitarian organizations?
You should not sympatise with Israel just yet. First you should grow up and second you should read a book instead of spouting terrorist propaganda.

How about the 150 to 200 missiles a day that are being fired into Israel every day that kill innocent civilians? How objective is Amnesty International? How objective is your question? You should try to see both sides of an issue.

you do realize they are a left organization, right.....and as I recall, from the past, they would never comment on the facts that the weapons were hidden within the civilian populated areas....that they were be firing from the neighborhoods, and they were hiding in the neighborhoods.....not to mention that you did not even comment on the fact they didn't mention Hezbollah, who were only firing at civilians.....and not targeting anything but cities where civilians were.....why not? Also, why di you not mention they said nothing about the fact they even dropped leaflets that said to get out? it was a war......how much you want from them.....personal phone calls to each and every household? {praying} Jesus, please give knowledge to these Liberal idiots

You honestly consider amnesty international a non biased source of information?
War is ugly and if its to be fought for political correctness you lose; amnesty international does not get that, the American press does not get that, but the Israeli army does.
