In public, Israel is waging war against Hezbollah. In actual fact, however, the war is against women, children and elderly people in Lebanon and Palestine? Scenes on space channels show images of shelters being pounded to the ground, and bodies being dug out? No military personnel in sight? Only innocent defenseless civilians!!

These carnages are the product of opinions rendered by Jewish rabbis, giving clemency to those Israelis, whose consciences are pricked back to life. These opinions put Israelis into a deep slumber, allowing them to kill women, children, and elderly people without compassion. This asserts that we are living in a crazy world, from which not a single reaction condemning the rabbis' opinions has been detected. Israel's atrocities do not register as crimes but as acts of self-defense.

The killing of women and children in Lebanon requires international action towards the so-called United Nations System. It is essential that a new mechanism is created which obliterates the failings of the present system, and restores reason and humanity to mankind.
