The Neo-Conservatives and the Policies of Constructive Chaos

17-08-2006 13:28

For the theoreticians of constructive chaos, blood must be shed to bring about a new order in that region rich in hydrocarbons. By plunging the masses into chaos, the elites attempt to assure their stability. In violence, the imperial interests of the US and Israel merge.

South Beirut and Palistinian Refugee Camp Bombed - Sun 13th Aug

16-08-2006 14:36

At around 2.30 the Israelis start pounding the southern suburbs of Beirut again. One of those bunker buster bombs shakes the windows of our accommodation. We are miles away. We get a lift into the south of the city. Hizbollah stop our car as we approach the area around an hour after the strike. They have put a large cordon around the areas that are being hit or expected to be. They give us directions to a vantage point high above the city where we can view the proceedings from a safe distance.

Activist aid convoy stopped by Lebanese National Security Guards - Sat 12th Aug

15-08-2006 12:08

Over the past few days Lebanese activists from a broad range of political and social groups have been meticulously planning an aid convoy to villages in the south. The idea was both political and humanitarian. Many villages have been without aid for some time and their situation is desperate. Meanwhile those peace loving Israelis have consistently announced that all moving vehicles in certain areas are legitimate targets. This was to be an open and passive defiance of that ban. The convoy of over 50 cars loaded with everything from food to diapers was publicly announced to both the Israelis and Hizbollah. Hizbollah had agreed to clear the way so there was no excuse for any bombing in the vicinity. No response from the Israelis who are presently refusing to allow NGOs like MSF (Medecins sans Frontieres) and the Red Cross a safe passage. In the end Lebanese National Security guards on Mount Lebanon stopped the convoy on the grounds that it would be too dangerous to proceed.
