| Lebanese report: Hezbollah planted disabled children in basement to die |
| 2006-08-02 |
| Source Israel Insider: A French language Lebanese publication, citing an unnamed source in Hezbollah, has claimed that the organization placed a rocket launcher on the roof of the notorious building in Qana to provoke an Israeli attack and brought invalid children inside to serve as victims and blacken Israel's name. The Lebanese magazine LIBANOSCOPIE, associated with Christian elements which support the anti-Syrian movement called the "March 14 Forces," report that Hizbullah masterminded a plan that would result in the killing of innocents in Qana, in an attempt to foil Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's "Seven Points Plan" calling for deployment of the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon and the disarming of Hizbullah. The magazine reported: "We have it from a credible source that Hezbollah, alarmed by Siniora's plan, has concocted an incident that would help thwart the negotiations.... Hezbollah gunmen placed a rocket launcher on the roof in Qana and brought disabled children inside, in a bid to provoke a response by the Israeli Air Force. In this way, they were planning to take advantage of the death of innocents and curtail the diplomatic initiative," the site stated. The site's editors claimed that Hezbollah staged the event because of Qana's symbolic significance: "They used Qana because the village had already turned into a symbol for massacring innocent civilians, and so they set up 'Qana 2'." The incident has indeed been dubbed "The second Qana massacre" by the Arab media. The scenario described, which has yet to be confirmed by a named source, would explain the fact that the victims were not residents of the building and also the disproportionate number of small children and the lack of adult males among them. Meanwhile, the Lebanese Red Cross reported on Monday that only 28 bodies, 19 of them children, were removed from the rubble. The count is half that of the 50-60 bodies still being reported by news agencies, quoting Lebanese security officials. |

| #6 Qana death count dropped from 54 to 28. So what were all those bloodless bodies? Now I don't think anyone would suggest that Hezbos sometimes pose as injured. Nahhh... they'd never do a thing like that! |

| #5 My first observation on this subject was genocide! Whenever an initial report is proffered and such language as "these were handicapped children in this building" and subsequent reports do not include the inflamatory language, you can pretty much bet that the original language was correct and the subsequent language omitting the information is second guessing of an original premise. Since this event the time line story came out, because israel had called tennents of this building to warn them to get out, these unfortunates were sacrificed as expendable within the context of hezbully social services. Hezbullies are communists, religion is thier appendage, this is also why the christian president is on thier side, he too is a beneficiary of elitist social regression, as all socialists are. Make no mistake, this is exactly what it appears to be, genocide. |

| #3 Lots of reporting of this as a set piece 'outrage" by Hizb'allah. I am saving my salt but I have some. |

| #2 Me either. But ... the Maronite christian community in Lebanon has historically had contempt for the Shia, so a little salt mnight or might not be in order. |
