>Israel and the United States signed an agreement today that will give Israel $30 billion in military aid over the next decade. Officials called the aid a long-term investment in peace. Up is down, war is peace. -Z

Jonathan Cook reports from Israel: The evidence so far indicates that Israel: * established legitimate grounds for Hizbullah's attack on the border post by refusing to withdraw from the Lebanese territory of the Shebaa Farms in 2000; * initiated a war of aggression be refusing to engage in talks about a prisoner swap offered by Hizbullah; * committed a grave war crime by intentionally using cluster bombs against south Lebanon's civilians; * repeatedly hit Lebanese communities, killing many civilians, even though the evidence is that no Hizbullah fighters were to be found there; * and put its own civilians, especially Arab civilians, in great danger by making their communities targets for Hizbullah attacks and failing to protect them. It is clear that during the Second Lebanon war Israel committed the most serious war crimes. counterpunch.org Tom
