Meanwhile, the economic and political leaderships of Western governments, with the US and Canada at the forefront, have increased their efforts to normalize international relations with the Israeli apartheid regime.

Before the Israeli assault on Lebanon, Tadamon! delegation member Stefan Christoff visited Mar Elias and Borj el Barajneh, two of the Palestinian Refugee Camps located in Beirut. Palestinians have been living in the camps for generations but are still being denied the right of return to their homeland. At the same time, they are denied many of their basic economic and civil rights by Lebanon.

Israel must take responsibility for the dreadful human toll in Lebanon

By Peter Bouckaert, Emergencies Director, Human Rights Watch

Published in Guardian Unlimited

Day after day, Israeli government spokesmen insist that everything they are doing accords with international humanitarian law. Endless communiqués insist that Israel’s behaviour is “proportionate”. Let us be blunt: those claims are fantasy, as the carnage in Qana has shown once again.

I have seen my share of modern wars, as a researcher at Human Rights Watch. In Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq, we found many civilian casualties due to bombing campaigns. Civilians fleeing attacks were hit by mistake. In Iraq, US bombs often hit civilian homes, hours after Saddam Hussein or members of his inner circle had left, missing their legitimate targets but killing civilians. In Lebanon it is a very different picture. Time after time, Israel strikes at civilian homes and civilian vehicles attempting to flee the besieged southern border zone, killing families without any military objective in sight.
