OZ Foreign Minister - ISRAEL NOT TARGETING CIVILIANS !!

Last week our ‘supposedly’ well informed Foreign Minister Alexander Downer stated in public that Israel was “not deliberately targeting civilians” in Lebanon, when it was blatantly clear to the world that they were.

I wonder what pearls of wisdom Alexander Downer has for the Australian public now in view of the massacre at Qana ?

No doubt he will have spouted the ‘global leaders’ pre-determined line of “how dreadfully sorry he is” for the accidental death of those Lebanese including the 27 children killed.

Australia, courtesy of the Howard Government has betrayed all Australians by supporting Israel’s heavy handed aggression and failing to demand a ceasefire.

It now appears that Israel is not winning against Hezbollah and are themselves taking casualties. Consequently there suddenly seems to be a mad scurry of diplomatic activity by those who had previously deliberately sat back and done nothing in order to allow Israel to continue its war crimes activities unhindered.

In a move that visibly annoyed Condaleeza Rice the outraged Lebanese Prime Minister, fed up with the failure of the United Nations and all the one sided rhetoric from the USA and Israel told US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice not to bother coming to Beirut and that Lebanon required an unconditional ceasefire.
