Israel Violates Ceasefire Agreement

Israel has decided that they won't abide by the terms of the ceasefire that ended the Lebanon war. Clearly the political leadership in the Jewish state believe that they were beaten in the war and want to make it right. Now they are even aren't keeping their promise to pull out of the West Bank. Many Bloggers like myself were convinced that the ceasefire wouldn't amount to anything. The Lebanese war started by Israel is part of an overall goal by the neo-fascist neocons to dominate the Middle East.

AP:
"Hezbollah fighters battled Israeli commandos who landed near the militants' stronghold deep inside Lebanon early Saturday, killing one soldier, in the first large-scale violation of the U.N.-brokered cease-fire between the sides.

Hezbollah said its guerrillas foiled the raid after a gunbattle,
and the Israeli army said one soldier was killed and two were wounded, one seriously.

Witnesses said Israeli missiles destroyed a bridge during the raid - the first major violation of the U.N.-imposed cease-fire that took effect Monday following 34 days of fighting.

The Israeli army said the special forces operation aimed 'to prevent and interfere with terror activity against Israel, especially the smuggling of arms from Iran and Syria to Hezbollah.' It said the commando team completed its mission."

If There is any doubt that the Bush gang was on the side of Israel during the war...
"The United States blocked an Iranian cargo plane's flight to Syria last month after intelligence analysts concluded it was carrying sophisticated missiles and launchers to resupply Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, two U.S. intelligence officials say."

UN effort to keep peace will fail...
"The United Nations pressed Italy and other European countries Friday to commit troops to lead a vanguard U.N. peacekeeping force of 3,500 that it hopes to deploy in southern Lebanon by Aug. 28 to help enforce a fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah."

Just like American soldiers in Iraq, Israeli troops were betrayed by their government during the Lebanese war...
"Israeli soldiers returning from the war in Lebanon say the army was slow to rescue wounded comrades and suffered from a lack of supplies so dire that they had to drink water from the canteens of dead Hezbollah guerrillas."
