Excerpts from Amnesty International's report on the 2006 war:

"Amnesty International has concluded that Israeli forces committed serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, including war crimes. In particular, Amnesty International has found that Israeli forces carried out indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks on a large scale. These include the sustained artillery bombardment of south Lebanon and, in particular, the widespread use of cluster bombs in civilian areas in the last days of the war.
The long-term impact on the children of Lebanon is likely to be severe...many parts of south Lebanon, playgrounds and other areas where children used to go are littered with cluster bomblets. As a result, outdoor play is a dangerous activity...Israeli forces used cluster bombs made in the USA...White phosphorous was also used in this conflict by Israeli forces, reportedly in areas where civilians were present.
In the last three days of the conflict, Israel showered cluster bombs over large areas of south Lebanon, depositing bomblets over residential areas, roads, orchards and fields...In the village of Tibnin in south Lebanon, only hours before the ceasefire on 14 August, Israeli forces fired cluster bombs all around the government hospital, where hundreds of civilians were sheltering.
Many of the bomblets failed to explode. As a result, for hundreds of thousands of people in Lebanon, the war did not end with the ceasefire. In the first fortnight after the ceasefire, an average of one person a day was killed and five were injured by bomblets. By 2 November, 22 people had been killed and 134 wounded in civilian areas...
The widespread bombardment led to the displacement of around a million people in Lebanon, nearly a quarter of the country's population. Some 500,000 of them ended up in Beirut...civilians, overwhelmingly bore the brunt of the conflict --
Israeli attacks on water and electricity facilities dramatically reduced people's access to water. Human waste and other refuse disposal systems were also damaged and disrupted. This coincided with an increased need for such services, given the levels of dirt, dust, injuries and heightened risks of infection.
In south Lebanon, the water infrastructure was destroyed...
"Twenty-five years' hard work was destroyed in 10 minutes... there was no military, nothing military here, nothing at all. Not even the guards had pistols." George Hanna, General Manager of Dalal Steel Industries in Ta'nayel, Beqa'a, which was destroyed in Israeli air strikes on 23 July.

The 34-day bombardment of Lebanon caused extensive damage to the country's infrastructure and devastated large parts of its commercial and agricultural sectors.
Damage to hospitals, combined with the disruption of power and water supplies, severely restricted access to health care. Schools were destroyed or closed. A million or more unexploded cluster bomblets fired by Israeli forces in effect created a vast minefield in south Lebanon, as a result of which civilians there are still being killed and maimed, and many will not be able to return to their homes, fields or orchards for months or even years to come...
Thousands of civilian homes were destroyed and even more were damaged..."
"I have lost all my children, my mother, my sisters. My wife is in a very serious condition... How do you tell a mother that she has lost all her children?"
Ahmad Badran spoke these words to Amnesty International delegates in al-Ghazieh village in south Lebanon after watching the bodies of eight members of his family being dug from under a pile of rubble. On 7 August an Israeli missile hit his home, killing his four children, his mother, his two sisters and his niece, and critically injuring his wife.
Attacked while fleeing
"The army told us to leave the village but those who did leave were bombarded and killed. Why? A car full of children!"

This was how a member of the 'Abdallah family who survived an Israeli attack on a convoy of families fleeing the village of Marwahin described his despair and bewilderment. The attack, on 15 July, left 23 civilians dead, most of them children....

awesome we the israelis fucked lebanon bombs and missils but we didnt start the war hezballah started the war with us

[FrankCoffman]

@amjadsaleh9

Hezbollah provoked it, then Israel turned the situaiton into a war on Lebanon. Instead of fighting Hezbollah, Israel committed war crimes against Lebanese civilians. This has been Israel's pattern.

[steliospappas]

Greece, Israel and Cyprus form strong alliance to fuck the Turkish muslim bastards once and for all.

[FrankCoffman]

@steliospappas

Thanks for reminding us again how hateful, racist and violent the Israelis are. Your comments proves my point: Israel is an international outlaw that is based on force and violence.

[wesleyjraines]

The Lord is with Israel.The God of Abraham Issac and Jacob has defended them in times Past and will defend them always...just for all those people who Hate Israel

[FrankCoffman]

@wesleyjraines

Your "Lord" is just a myth -- a Jewish tribal god that was invented to justify everything that the ancient Jews wanted to do and wanted to believe about themselves. According to the Bible, the ancient Jews committed massacres and genocide against the native inhabitants of Palestine ("the promised land"). Jews who use the Bible to justify themselves are using a bloody book (actually a collection books) which is a racist document written by human beings, not by god.

@nine2200

You talk like a genocidal maniac. Hitler would be proud of you. You think like a Nazi. You are a murderous psycho. I see that you've posted hateful murderous comments on other videos. You are sick, violent, disgusting and stupid.

[FrankCoffman]

@DaimonTheVampire

You have no answer to the facts in this video. There's nothing "pathetic" about this video. You didn't even try to refute the facts in this video. The video has information from respected human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Are they pathetic? No, your reply is pathetic!

You excuse Israel's atrocities by pointing out atrocities in Arab countries. That's no excuse. That's a pathetic rationalization. You just want to ignore the truth.

@codfishdoom

You are very ignorant. Hitler started World War II by an unprovoked attack on Poland in 1939. Then, he attacked other European countries. He wanted to conquer and enslave other countries to build his evil empire, You don't know basic history. Hitler was the most evil criminal that ever lived. He slaughtered millions He destroyed whole cities. At the end of the war, he even tried to bring the total destruction of the German people. Your comments are totally misinformed.

[codfishdoom]

israel should definatly have a regime change atleast, and if not wiped off the face of the earth

[helen51318]

@wesleyjraines "people who hate israel" you mean the whole world... because if you read international news and not what your goverment allows you to see in tv, you will discover that we consider you murderers. guarentee!

[helen51318]

[ShevaBirdLady]

I agree with you completely, Israel is basically here to implement rules and cause destruction in the middle east, Lebanon is just a pawn and a means to the end, our country is nothing but a battlefield to all countries who despise each other, they attacked innocent people on purpose, instead of attacking Nasrallah's military base. That's slaughtering.

[zobielamouche1]

the zionists don't respect anything

but they turn to whining crybabies very quick

[hussiensony]
