UN suggests israel PAY for its crimes
After decades of sweeping in the Mark, israel is about to cough up the Shekel.
Stand back - this is going to get VERY ugly.
A United Nations human rights inquiry said on Friday that Israel should be made to pay compensation for damage caused by its month-long war in Lebanon, especially losses incurred by civilians.
It suggested setting up an international compensation programme similar to the one which has paid out billions of dollars to cover losses due to Iraq's 1990-91 invasion and occupation of Kuwait.
Or, like the program that has Germany paying BILLIONS in reparations to world Jewry until today.
But - blasphemy - you can't compare Zionists to Nazis (it's too accurate).
[Not that I believe in collective payment any more than I believe in collective punishment. But, you have to admit that this is the epitome of poetic justice.]
[T]he three-member commission of inquiry -- which also rejected Israeli and U.S. charges that its recent report accusing Israel of "flagrant violations" in the war was one-sided -- left any decision to the U.N. Human Rights Council.
"It should consider creation of a commission competent to examine individual claims for reparations and compensation...," commission member Joao Clemente Baena Soares told a briefing.
The inquiry team was expanding on its Nov. 21 report which said Israel was guilty of "excessive, indiscriminate and disproportionate use of force" in the July/August war, which it said caused 1,191 deaths in Lebanon and damaged 30,000 homes.
Israel invaded southern Lebanon after Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid on July 12. The report said Israel had also suffered serious casualties from Hezbollah attacks, including 43 civilians killed and 6,000 homes damaged.
Commission member Stelios Perrakis said Lebanon's fishing and farm industries had been damaged by Israeli attacks, and oil spills from refineries had reached Cyprus, Turkey and Greece.
The inquiry had established that Israel bore international responsibility for the violations and damage, he said.
"If the Council, the international community, wishes to set up a mechanism, I remind you that the Security Council established a commission on Iraqi reparations for Kuwait. Why not also a commission for Lebanon?,"Perrakis told reporters.
The U.N. team visited Lebanon to assess the situation in line with its mandate from the rights forum to probe "systematic targeting and killing" of Lebanese civilians by Israel.
"Of course it (the report) was not one-sided, it was within the limits imposed by the mandate," Perrakis told reporters.
Of all the punishments the world body can inflict on israel for its crimes against humanity, this is by far the worst for the belligerent little money-grubbing state.
Without money, they can't commit even a fraction of the crimes they commit today.
It's akin to demanding corporations actually PAY TAXES after they finish looting a nation. This means WAR.
you guys are serious?
since when Israel accepts his war crimes.
as long as AMERIKA is fully behind every action . thanx to AIPAC and Neocons and Zionist christians, I think Lebanon should pay for damages in Israel, because the israelis were tortured in their bunkers, with no air conditioners. pooor guys.
How can you accuse Israel for war crimes, what crimes you are talking about?
it is purely done everything for defence and protection of poor israelis, Israel and its people were, are, and always will be a peace loving nation, the word peace is created in israel. the cruel people are the Arabs and palestinians, who stole land and properties of jews, and ever since creation of Israel, they always attacked, murdered, raped and stole the peace loving jewish people, so i think the rich arabs who has to pay to the poor jews. don't you aggree?
ask jack Abramoff, Michael Chertoff, Lieberman, and many more see what they say!!!!!!!!!!
If the average American citizen was aware that the Israelis' deliberately targeted Lebanese civilians, would they agree to giving the Zionist state the annual gift of billions of their hard-earned tax dollars? But the people are largely unaware of Israel's evil deeds, because the media in the US is largely owned and controlled by Jewish Supremacists.
The American media brainwashes its citizens into believing that countries like Iran and Syria are "terrorist states", but the one TRUE terrorist state is Israel. If Syria did the same to Lebanon, or if Iran bombed and deliberately targeted civilians in say, Kuwait, Americans would be outraged. If Britain bombed Ireland, deliberately targeting and killing civilians in order to create terror, in response to the IRA capturing two British soldiers, what would the response be?

Israel atoning for war crimes? That's not likely to happen any time soon, however, the 2006 war marked the first time that Israel was ever turned back because of the fear of what their own casualty rate would do to Israeli public opinion. Remember, this was with some 88% of Israelis initially supporting the war that was started with what was literally some very suspicious grounds. Eventually, Israel even turned to slaughtering women and children before the eyes of the world and went as far as to deliberately murder UN personnel.
For the first time ever, Israel's critics could not be smeared away as haters and that's what was huge this year. (Of course, Michael Richards would disagree, but that's his opinion.)
"For the first time ever, Israel's critics could not be smeared away as haters and that's what was huge this year."
This was HUGE. And that is why I mark it as the beginning of the end for israel - mad dog style - the point at which anyone with eyes and an honest heart can see israel for what it truly is, a murderous apartheid state.
