Jews: Intrinsic Liars

Soon after the UN brokered truce between Hezbollah and Israel went into effect, Israeli violated the truce by attacking the town of Baalbek deep inside Lebanon. The attack was well planned. The sound of their helicopters was masked by the sonic booms of Israeli jets. The helicopters carried humvees to transport the commandos to their target. The Israeli commandos were dressed as Lebanese soldiers. This raid was not only a violation of the truce agreement; it was a serious violation of international law. The use of uniforms similar to those of the Lebanese army is known in the law of war as “treachery” or “perfidy” and its commission is considered a grave breach of international law.

Art. 23(f) of the Hague Convention (IV) of 1907 expressly forbids belligerents “[t]o make improper use of …the military insignia and uniform of the enemy…”.

Article 39(2) of the 1977 Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions reasserts this prohibition: “It is prohibited to make use of the flags or military emblems, insignia or uniforms of adverse Parties while engaging in attacks or in order to shield, favour, protect or impede military operations.”

When questioned about the raid, the Israeli Army was unapologetic and asserted that it would continue such raids. Mark Regev, an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman declared, "If the Syrians and the Iranians continue to arm Hezbollah in violation of the resolution, Israel is entitled to act to defend the principle of the arms embargo." (New York Times, August 19, 2006)

This grievous war crime capped a month of war crimes committed by the Israeli forces. These crimes included failure to protect the civilian population against dangers arising from military operations, attacks on the civilian population, indiscriminate attacks, destruction of objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, and attacks on the natural environment, all of which are prohibited by Protocol I.
