PMWWATCH -- December 28, 2008 -- Israel seems to have learned nothing from its disastrous assault on Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Instead of drawing the basic lesson that you cannot massacre your way to a solution, here again is the Israeli army bombarding civilians in the name of fighting terror. Back in 2006, civilians in Lebanon were massacred in the name of wiping out Hezbollah. The invasion instead killed more than a thousand people, the vast majority of whom were innocent Lebanese civilians, severely damaged the Lebanese civil infrastructure, displacing in the process approximately one million Lebanese. This time, civilians caged in captive Gaza are being massacred, again in the name of fighting terror and wiping out Hamas.
Please take a few minutes to call or write to your local paper and remind them that this is déjà vu all over again: that just as during its invasion of Lebanon in 2006 Israel accomplished nothing but kill innocent civilians and renew the resolve of a people to resist, not to mention put their own populations at risk, this assault on Gaza if history teaches anything, is likely to end up the same way.
