The 1967 war began when Israel attacked Egypt. Doesn't that make most of Israel's long standing claims of defense invalid?
UN resolution 194 calls for the right for refugees to return and be compensated for their property loss. There are hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees who had their homes destroyed by Israel and are not allowed to even visit.
UN resolution 242 "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war." and calls for "withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict" and right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force". These territories occupied included the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Palestinian villages have been absorbed by Israel. Israel annexed large chunks of Arab land and has refused to return anything other than the Sinai. Including a chunk of Lebanon a country that has never attacked Israel.
UN resolution 446 declares that Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are illegal. There are hundreds of illegal Israeli settlements with more than 250,000 settlers on Arab land.
The Fourth Geneva Convention forbids an occupying power from confiscating occupied land and transferring its own population to that territory. Israel has gained more land every year by pushing back Palestinians in the name of self-defense.
UN resolution 425 called for the immediate and unconditional withdraw of all Israeli forces from all Lebanese territory. Israel has remained in Lebanon occupying it for 28 years. 1978-2006. Although Hezbollah chased Israel out in 2000, they remained in Chebaa Farms and now have returned full force.
There have been hundreds of UN resolutions against Israel. All have been rejected or ignored by Israel. Other would-be resolutions have been vetoed by the U.S.
There have been about 450 resolutions condemning Israel since 1967.
Israel violated the blue line repeatedly since their so-called withdraw from Lebanon in 2000, kidnapping civilians, striking targets in the South and terrorising the public with low flight sonic booms. This is according to the UN.
Israel has never left Lebanon, including occupying the Chebaa Farms.
Israel left 300,000 land mines in Lebanon refusing to hand over a map of mines to the UN.
Israel has now littered Lebanese villages with thousands of unexploded granades. There have been at least two deaths since the cease-fire.
1948 as the world was rewarding Zionists with a state, Israel occupied and annexed Seven Villages in South Lebanese.
1967 Israel occupies part of Lebanon, Lebanon was not a participant in the war.
1968 Israel raids Beirut destroying civilian planes.
1978 Israel invades and occupies Lebanon.
1981 Israel carries out multiple attacks against Lebanon.
1982 Israel begins a large scale invasion and occupation in Lebanon killing 20,000 people. Israel has occupied Lebanon continuously ever since.
1993 between Operation Peace for Galilee and Operation Grapes of Wrath Israel carries out Operation Accountability, another invasion.
1996 Grapes of Wrath more murdering of civilians as Israel shells a UN relief post to massacre more than 100 civilian refugees in Qana seeking shelter from Israel bombing.
2000-2006 Israel continues to attack Lebanon, kidnap farmers, steal water and so on and so on...
2006 Israel launches full scale war against Lebanon for two soldiers and this was the begining of the conflict? how gullible is the world?
Israel continues to strike in Gaza non-stop killing 20 civilains a day.
Israel has kidnaped more than 20 Palestinian parlimentarians and even the Speaker of Parliment and blames Palestine for not controlling their territory.
Every international law has been broken by Israel, no UN resolution has been respected by Israel unless it targets Arabs. Even then the violate the parts addressing them.
Before a Jewish State was created in any form, there were Zionist gangs and a Zionist Army that committed countless massacres on Palestinians and demolished village after village and stealing their land. How is it possible to have a "defense force" without having a country. How is it possible to operate like an independent state within an existing state ignoring the laws of the government, carrying arms and attacking civilians and get rewarded with a country on top of an existing country? Israel is the originator of terrorism. It has been in terror practice since before it even had a flag starting in England with executions of parliament members and massacres on Arabs on Arab land and continuing today for more than 80 years.
As extensive as this list is it doesn't even document the countless humanitarian rights violations committed by Israel, the killing of civilians, the targeting of UN peace-keepers, the countless assasinations, the testing of new secret weapons on civilian targets in Lebanon and Palestine, the use of torture, the use of chemical weapons and cluster bombs, and of course the targeting of fleeing civilians seeking refuge.
Of course this is only the tip of a very evil iceberg.
Cease-fire? How can we trust such an evil entity?
