Not the Israeli bombardment of southern Lebanon

“Not the Israeli bombardment of southern Lebanon, nor the Qana massacre by Israeli artillery of 106 Lebanese civilians in a UN base, more than half of them children. For that’s what happened in April, 1996. No, of course that slaughter is not excuse for the crimes

against humanity in the United States last month. But isn’t it worth just a little mention, just a tiny observation, that an Egyptian mass-murderer-to-be wrote a will of chilling suicidal finality in the month when the massacre in Lebanon enraged Arabs across the Middle East?”

Here’s a wild prediction. In the not too distant future, Robert Fisk will have something to say about when the 9/11 plot was hatched, he’ll suggest that the commission’s timeline could have started a few weeks earlier with the events in Lebanon.

In the second article, Fisk also mentioned that bin Laden “has been suggesting that he’s angry about the deaths of mbt sport 2i children under sanctions” and lo and behold, squeezed in between Israel’s Grapes of Wrath operation and the beginning of the 9/11 plotting is the Madeleine Albright moment. But that’s a subject for another day.
