It is impossible to boobytrap a pager or a walkie-talkie without fully intending to kill or maim any and everyone who might be in the vicinity when that trap was sprung. What if one of those Hezbollah operatives had been sitting next to you on an international flight?
If Israel can do this on the scale that it has done it in Lebanon and Syria, perhaps with more to come, then there is no way that it kills anyone by accident, including James Henderson, John Chapman or James Kirby. Nor is there any way that it had no idea that the 7 October attacks were coming. The use of the Hannibal Directive is now a matter of record. Like this and this. We were right all along.
Those who defamed us and worse have today abstained in the United Nations General Assembly rather than vote for an end to the Occupation. But then, abstention is what they do. From the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Act and the Overseas Operations (Service Personnel and Veterans) Act that they have no intention of repealing, to what counts as rebellion against the two-child benefit cap and against the means-testing of the Winter Fuel Payment, to this, abstention is just what they do.
Who says that they were all Hezbollah?
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good question. The same people said that there had been 40 beheaded babies, that there had been mass rapes, that there had been a baby in an oven, that there had been babies cut from their mothers' wombs, that babies had been raped, and that there had been no use of the Hannibal Directive, if any such Directive even existed.
DeleteNotice also that living in a residential area, or going to one's place of civilian work, or seeking medical attention, or accessing education, or using public or even private transport, or going shopping, or walking down the street, is now "hiding behind a human shield". As in Gaza, so on the West Bank, and so in Lebanon. And so, in principle, anywhere at all.
