Lebanon slams rights report on Hezbollah war with Israel - Yahoo! News

It appears that Hezbollah doesn't like it when you shine a light on their
cowardice

.  Hiding amongst civilians, not wearing a uniform, hiding weapons within mosques and civilian homes, then have the nerve to complain when those areas get attacked.  Personally, I think if you look at it a certain way, those in Hezbollah are guilty of war crimes.

 

The Human Rights Watch (HRW) report due for release on Thursday focuses on the extent "Hezbollah targeted or indiscriminately fired its rockets toward civilians and civilian objects" during the 34-day war, according to a statement by the New York-based group.

"Israel during the attacks of July 2006 violated all international conventions," Prime Minister Fuad Siniora's office said in a statement. "It killed nearly 1,200 Lebanese and injured thousands more and 72 hours after UN Resolution 1701 was adopted, it dropped 3.5 million cluster bombs in the south of the country."

Resolution 1701 put a stop to the war that began in July after Hezbollah launched a cross-border attack on Israel and kidnapped two soldiers, whose fate is still unknown.

Hezbollah spokesman Hussein Rahal said Human Rights Watch should start by criticizing Israel.

"We were the victims during this war and people have a right to defend themselves," he told AFP. "We did not target civilians but Israel on the other hand did target the civilian population in Lebanon."

First off, you attacked Israel first with your attack on an outpost on Israeli soldiers.  You fired missiles into Israel knowing full well that they would kill civilians.  You hid like scared children in civilian areas and then have the nerve to call out on Israel because they attack areas that they are being fired upon from.

Perhaps you should save your dog and pony show for someone who might actually fall for your lies.
