A Letter to the Editor:
The Hizbullah is a
resistance against occupation.
The Zionist entity
is a racist occupation power There is a hell of difference
between the two We
are asked (by Amnesty) to take action immediately to sign
a petition that calls for equalizing the self defense
Hizbullah practiced with the Zionist entity's war crimes.
This is completely unacceptable. 
Hizbullah was practicing its right to
force the Zionist state to free Lebanese and other Arab
prisoners of war totaling almost ten thousand in Israeli
concentration camps, some rotting in their cells for
almost three decades. As usual the Zionist entity (in
response) would not free Arab prisoners many of whom are
detained and tortured without charges or trial for years.
Hizbullah, like the Palestinian resistance, captured
Zionist soldiers in combat to simply exchange them with
Arab prisoners, but both in Palestine and Lebanon the
Zionist state retaliated with carpet bombing killing over
1300 and injuring over 3000 people of all ages and sexes
all over Lebanon and destroying any thing that came in
their way. In Gaza, since the abduction of one soldier,
more than 200 people 1/3 of them infants were massacred.
( poster:www.everomp.com)
Hizbullah immediately respected resolution
1701 although tailored to be in the interest of the
Zionist enemy, while Israel did not stop violating the
resolution for one single day, killing and kidnapping
civilians and violating the Lebanese autonomy from air,
land and sea - It is enforcing a strict siege on Lebanon.
Traffic and commerce are frozen from and into Lebanon.
Against about 1300 killed and more
than 3000 civilians injured, Hizbullah killed about 30
civilians and 130 soldiers during an act of self defense
and retaliation against an occupation enemy.
The Zionist enemy is still threatening with another war,
saying that the July/August war would look like a picnic.
Israel wants to control Lebanon and ordering the Lebanese
government what to do and what not, ordering it to kick
out elected Hizbullah parliament members and ministers,
as it did in Palestine - putting half of the elected MPs
and ministers in jail and threatening to kill the
Palestinian Prime Minister.
Israel wants to put foreign soldiers on the border line
between Lebanon and a sister Arab state. The Zionist
minister of foreign affairs declares that the Lebanese
prime minister disappointed her and considers him as
weak, because he does not round a resistance organization
that liberated Lebanese territory from Zionist
occupation!!!
Amnesty International is requesting the
addressees to: "writing to member states of
the UN Security Council, request that the UN
Secretary-General establishes a comprehensive,
independent and impartial investigation."
Amnesty International should be know better, for what can
the fourteen other members of the UNSC do when the U.S.
says NO, or else gives a VETO.
Israel
occupied all of historic Palestine and is still occupying
the Syrian Golan Heights since 1967. Israel uprooted more
than five million Palestinians; and half a million
Syrians from the Golan Heights alone and now refuses to
allow them to practice their right of return to their own
land and home as per Resolution 194. The execution of
which, Resolution 194, was conditional to allow
"Israel" into membership of the United Nations,
despite violating about a hundred UN resolutions passed
by the UN General Assembly and the Security Council.
"Israel"
is an occupation power and Hizbullah and other Arab
organizations are in resistance to occupation.
Sincerely Adib S. Kawar An uprooted Palestinian
Arab
UPDATE 30TH AUG.
The UN's humanitarian chief has accused Israel of "completely immoral" use of cluster bombs in Lebanon.
UN clearance experts had so far found 100,000 unexploded cluster bomblets at 359 separate sites, Jan Egeland said. "Ninety per cent of the cluster bomb strikes occurred in the last 72 hours of the conflict, when we knew there would be a resolution," he said. He said it would take 12-15 months to clear the devices, and that people were being wounded and killed daily. "Cluster bombs have affected large areas - lots of homes, lots of farmland," Mr Egeland said, describing the statistics as "shocking new information".

Lebanon/Israel conflict: attacks on civilians need immediate investigation
The recent
ceasefire between Israel and Hizbullah ended almost five
weeks of fighting.
Bloodshed and destruction in the violent conflict was
mainly caused by indiscriminate
and disproportionate attacks against civilians on both
sides.
Some 1,000 civilians are reported to have been killed in
Israeli air strikes and heavy artillery shelling in
Lebanon, and some 40 civilians by Hizbullah rocket
attacks in northern Israel.
Lebanon
In Lebanon, hundreds of civilians were killed by Israeli
forces in attacks on residential areas causing massive
destruction. Others were killed in attacks on vehicles as
villagers were heeding the calls by the Israeli army to
leave their homes in South Lebanon.
On 7 August, more than 50 civilians were killed in one of
Beirut’s neighbourhoods, Shyah. Amnesty
International (AI) delegates in the country visited the
area the day after Israeli bombardment and found a scene
of utter devastation, with bodies of women and children
still being pulled from beneath the rubble. Israeli
forces had not issued any prior warning to the
inhabitants of the impending air strikes. Shyah, had been
considered safer than other districts and people who had
fled their homes from other parts of the country, had
sought shelter there.
As more areas were targeted by Israeli forces the number
of displaced people grew: a month into the conflict about
one million people – a quarter of the entire
population of Lebanon – had fled. Since the
ceasefire, many are returning home, but tens of thousands
have no home to return to.
Israel
In Israel, some 40 civilians were killed in attacks by
Hizbullah on towns and villages, including Haifa, Kiryat
Shmona, Nahariya, Safed, Ma’alot and Acre. Hizbullah
launched thousands of rockets into northern Israel, many
of them in areas populated by civilians. AI delegates who
visited the north of Israel to investigate the attacks
found evidence that some of the rockets used by Hizbullah
contained thousands of metal ball bearings. These
increase the potential for fatalities as people not in
immediate vicinity can be killed or seriously injured by
the spray of ball bearings.
Take action!
Act quickly:
Call for an immediate investigation into violations of
international law by Israeli and Hizbullah, including
violations which may amount to war crimes.
By writing to member states of the UN Security Council,
request that the UN Secretary-General establishes a
comprehensive, independent and impartial investigation.
