Re: Of course there was, and I haven't denied it. There is an even bigger history of Israel shelling and then invading Lebanon

Who started the shelling and with what objective?

There are no Syrian apologists on this thread, or anywhere for that matter, denying and then explaining away the actions of Syria.

They don't need to deny anything when all of Western media simply ignores it. As I said before, when Arabs kill Arabs, no story.

Alfred and May MURR

President of the Academy of Lebanese Thought

A memorandum distributed by May Murr to the Patriarchs and Bishops, heads of the Churches of the Middle East on the occasion of the Synod of 20-21 November, 2000, held in Bkerké, seat of the Maronite Patriarcate. This memorandum was revised and developed by Alfred and May Murr and
presented to the Christian Prelates in its final form.

"We shall not dwell on Begin’s speech for the time being. We will only say that our politicians are in the habit of placing, in all matters, the enemies of their people and their own interests before the welfare and the prosperity of their subjects. It is as if our people live only to serve Arafat and that our children are not entitled to a safe and peaceful life! Our children, are they not the children of the war? Haven’t they lived in its plight, under the bombs and especially under the rule of officials in the pay of Arafat, the rulers of Syria, Iran and other non-Lebanese countries who seek to control Lebanon and eventually swallow him up? And yet these officials remain in power and Lebanon remains, for as long as terrorism sees fit, in a state of war and terror!"
