Belgian Defense Minister: Israel must pay to clear cluster bombs in Lebanon
http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/849415.html


Belgium's Defense Minister said last week that he would act to extract payment from Israel for the removal of cluster bomb fragments that the Israel Defense Forces fired into Lebanese territory during the Second Lebanon War

.....
De Belder added he had not seen "a shred of evidence" that Hezbollah also fired cluster bombs into Israel. Human Rights Watch announced last October that it found 113 such instances

_________
Heres the question to one an all

Why would De Belder ignore the hizballas shooting of missiles/cluster bombs in to israel?

true it could be that when the news came on, he covered his eyes and ears so that he wouldnt "technically" know of any evidence of those bombs, and it could be when the papers reported it, he quickly turned to the sports section, and when his own intelligence agencies had meetings, did he "go to the bathroom?"......but if we're going to be honest about it, the guy is simply turning a bind eye toward hizballa missiles.

the question is simply why?....how does ignoring such a simple basic fact do anything but increase animosity and demonization?

1. Why doesn't Israel...
just send over work teams of Hizbollah prisoners to clean them up? There's probably a lot of scrap in Lebanon from Hizbollah missiles and bombs.

Then, when they finish, they can organize work teams of Palestinian militants now being held in Israeli prisons to clean the scrap from the qassams and other artillery fired into Israel from Gaza?

Sounds like a plan to me.

2. Yeah, they're just the most evil people in the world.
Or maybe the only ones you notice?
