07-24-06 - US sees Lebanon conflict through 'war on terror' context And former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu drove home the point publicly in a Wall Street Journal commentary published Saturday, when he explained why Israel bombed not only Hezbollah targets, but Lebanese civilian infrastructure as well. "At stake in the current operation is not only Israel's security, Lebanon's democratic future, and stability in the region, but a central principle in the war on terror," he wrote.
"Soon after September 11 (2001), president Bush made clear that America would no longer make a distinction between the terrorists and the regimes that harbor them.
Thus does Netanyahu label the Lebanese civilians that Israel has killed as 'regimes that harbor them'. To which I would reply. And Netanyahu has demonstrated once more that Israel is exploiting our 911 tragedy for its own purposes, attempting to use IT as a shield for their crimes, much like they exploit the Holocaust for the same gain.
