The Qana Massacre, Kafr Qana - The Peace FAQ

Aren't the Israelis also terrorists because they intentionally

targeted civilians when they bombed the UNIFIL compound in
Qana in Southern Lebanon?

● "Anyone who knows Israel's rules of engagement knows Israel has

taken great pains and paid dearly for a strict policy to avoid civilian
casualties and the same thing is true here,

...People who are looking for an opportunity to do so will exploit

this ... fair people will look more carefully at the evidence and
conclude this was not deliberate."

- Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of

Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, quoted by
Cynthia Mann, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, May 10, 1996

● Hezbollah guerrillas fired two Katyusha rockets and eight mortars at

Israel from an area 300 yards away from the Fijian compound 15
minutes before Israeli gunners opened fire, U.N. spokeswoman
Sylvana Foa said, quoting the commander of the U.N. peacekeeping
mission in Lebanon.

The Associated Press, Apr 18, 1996

● The U.N. report acknowledges that Hezbollah took cover at the bases
of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

- Cynthia Mann, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, May 10, 1996

● "Hezbollah used those civilians as cover in a very cynical and

despicable way"

- Nicholas Burns, U.S. State Department spokesman, quoted by

Cynthia Mann, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, May 10, 1996

● When Israeli soldiers targeted the launch points of those Katyusha

rockets, mistakes were made and the UNIFIL base was unfortunately
hit. The people inside lost, but because of the tremendous world
outcry blaming Israel, Hezbollah won. This, one assumes, was the
plan. Shame on the world for rewarding such tactics.
