12 years ago to the day, as part of an assault which is known as Operation Grapes of Wrath, mutherfuckin Israelis launched artillery attacks on innocent Lebanese positions situated in a UN compound(key phrase: UN COMPOUND).
operation grapes of wrath is conceived to counter the threat of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and Beirut. apparently Israel (as usual) blamed the Hezbollah for breaking a ceasefire agreement between the two. as such Israel proceeded to attack Hezbollah positions in the said area.
it was during one of these clashes that Israel decided that it was more satisfying launching artillery rounds instead of bullets so in that way you can kill more ppl or so it seems. thus without winds of change, the Israelis started hammering in artillery rounds into the UN compound killing 106 CIVILIANS, innocent lives once again. the knack to kill innocent civilians has been in the blood of the god-forsaken Israelis since the beginning of time.
Israel immediately expressed "regret" for the loss of innocent lives, saying that the Hezbollah position and not the UN compound was the intended target of the shelling. they apologise stating that they had targeted the compound due to incorrect intelligence gathered. quotes of, " it was a bitter surprise" and " Israeli gunners used outdated maps of the area" or "We did not know that several hundred people were concentrated in that camp" was a frequent to the ears.
but the most outrageous thing that could happen was that the USA dont blame the Israelis for this heinous act. instead they blamed the Hezbollah as they said that Hezbollah had used the innocent civilians as human shields so they can get away with their lives. not only that, also to use the civilians as cover for terror activities. all bullshit if you ask me. everyone knows that the Israelis have the Americans in their back pocket as such no blame can be put on them.
BUT there is a rainbow after every storm. and the rainbow comes in the form of outcry from the world. Human Rights Watch condemned the attack greatly releasing a statement, "The decision of those who planned the attack to choose a mix of high-explosive artillery shells that included deadly anti-personnel shells designed to maximize injuries on the ground — and the sustained firing of such shells, without warning, in close proximity to a large concentration of civilians — violated a key principle of international humanitarian law."
the UN also condemned the attack and had a vote consisting of countries in the general assembly. out of a possible 68 votes, 66 voted that the attack was a crime of humanity (the other 2 votes claiming innocence was just as you guessed it, Israel and USA). with the result Israel was to be blamed for it and has to pay millions of dollars in repairs.
in addition to that, lawsuits from the family of victims killed were files against Israel and to add fuel to the fire, Al Qaeda declared jihad on USA and thus was the stage set for the preceding events that followed after that.
"if killing those that kill our sons is terrorism, then let history witness that we are terrorists"
