In Defence of Dianavan!
It is perfectly obvious that Israel has no respect for borders!

In 1956 Israeli paratroops took part in the invasion of Egypt along with British and French forces.Thousands of Egyptians in Port Said were killed.

Israel has illegally occupied the West Bank and the Golan Heights since 1967 and shows absolutely no sign of returning them to their legal owners , Palestine and Syris respectively.

In 1982 Israel destroyed the Lebanon. Some 20 000 Lebanese were killed in that invasion and Beirut was destroyed ....just as it has been during the past few weeks. In addition the Israelis masterminded the slaughter at Sabra and shatila refugee camps by Phalangist right wing murderers.Job well done said the commander of the Israeli forces the next day despite guarantees being given to the Palestinians in the camps.Some 2000 were killed there and many women raped.

In addition Israel has raided into the Lebanon on numerous other occasions to asassinate,blow up and kidnap Lebanese people.In 1996 the Israeli military attacked a UN base at Qana in southern Lebanon with artillery fire killing over a hundred refugees in a mass slaughter.Over one hundred others were injured.

The present invasion is a bloody disgrace ,almost unbelievable that at the start of the 21st century one of the most powerful states in the world can bomb another country into the Stone Age.This is an act of barbarism that deserves a war crimes tribunal.

Of course the other border it had no repect for is the land that it has stolen repeatedly from the Palestinian people who are still resisting the takeover of their country by an armed and mainly European people!
