Letter to the London
Times – July 30th 2006
As an Israeli I am stunned and devastated at the tragedy in Khana
this morning. No Israeli can benefit from such a calamity, and the death of so
many children is a reason for mourning for Israelis as well as Lebanese. But
let not this tragedy distort the facts. The only reason Israel attacks
residential areas is the fact that these areas, these apartments, shelter the
Hezbollah men and more so, Hezbollah ammunition. As reflected by CNN, the Katyusha
tracks are parked adjacent to residential buildings. Israeli Air Force dropped
leaflets warning people that the bombing would arrive, asking people to flee.
Who is responsible for children being there? What kind of parent does not take
his child away [hundreds of thousands of Israeli parents did so in the north]. The
fault does not lie Israel but Lebanon.

When terrorists take over a country as Hezbollah did and
attack children and elderly in Israel from residential centers, there is no
other formula. [UK and US forces attached residential areas in Iraq and Afghanistan
with much more devastating results]. The residents should not have agreed to
Hezbollah being over there. The government of Lebanon should not have accepted
the taking over of the south by militias. We are devastated, but the world
should understand. It is the fault of the government of Lebanon. It is the
crime of Hezbollah, who will not fight like men, but behind children and women.
