Israel Continues to Steal Water and Soil from Lebanon
Israel Continues to Steal Water and Soil from Lebanon | Kurt Nimmo | October 2, 2006
It is said Israel has not completed its withdrawal from Lebanon because "Hizbullah has returned to the Lebanese border" and "Hizbullah operatives have engaged in rock-throwing against Israeli soldiers and planted Hizbullah flags along the border," apparently more than enough of an excuse for the IOF to stay put.
"Israeli military sources had previously said the final phase of withdrawal took place on Sunday, when the last Israeli soldier withdrew," reports CNN. However, "UNIFIL spokesman Alexander Ivanko told CNN Israeli troops still control the border village of Ghajar," supposedly until "IDF, UNIFIL and the Lebanese army come to an agreement regarding the security arrangements in the area," that is to say the Israelis will stay until the threat of Lebanese rock throwers abates.
Of course, all of this is nonsense. Israel will stay in Lebanon forever, or until they are forced to leave.

On September 20, "Lebanese President Emile Lahoud denounced Israeli continued violations of UN Security Council resolution No. 1701," the Syrian Arab News Agency reported. "Lebanese National Agency for Information said that President Lahoud, during meetings with a number of Presidents participating in the UN General Assembly’s session in New York, condemned the Israeli new attempts to extend pipes to pull water of Wazzani Spring towards al-Ghajar town which Israel still occupies the town’s Lebanese side within the 'blue line’."
Naturally, this blatant thievery went unreported here in the United States. Instead, we must endure facile reports detailing "Hezbollah" rock throwers and flag-planters.
"According to witnesses in the South, Israel also continues to steal Lebanon’s water, and is altering the Blue Line and shoveling earth to transport to the Israeli side of the border," the Daily Star reported on September 25. In addition, Israel is adjusting the Blue Line in its favor. "Lebanon has filed a complaint with the UN and UNIFIL about Israeli alterations of the Blue Line in which hundreds of square meters of Lebanese territory were 'added’ to the Israeli side. UNIFIL 'is looking into the matter,’ a Lebanese Army source said."
Indeed, UNIFIL is "looking into the matter" from 500 meters away, through field glasses, and likely nervous about in-coming.
"The Lebanese Army has also filed a complaint with UNIFIL about the Israeli military’s extending pipelines toward the Wazzani River in South Lebanon, possibly in preparation for drawing water into northern Israeli settlements…. Israel was diverting water from the Wazzani before it withdrew from most of the South in 2000…. According to eye witnesses and Lebanese Army statements, the Israelis are also transporting soil from South Lebanese villages and transporting it to Israel." ...
