"There has of course been nothing "clean" about Israeli military action
throughout the many decades of conflict in Palestine and Lebanon. Israel's
wanton disregard for civilian life during the past few days is neither new
nor out of character. For those complaining about violations of Israeli
sovereignty by Hizbullah or Hamas, it may be useful to recall the tens of
thousands of Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty since the late 60s,
the massive air raids of the mid-70s and early 80s, the 1978 and 1982
invasions and occupation of the capital Beirut, the hundreds of thousands
of refugees, the 28-year-old buffer zone and proxy force set up in southern
Lebanon, the assassinations, car bombs, and massacres, and finally the
continuing violations of Lebanese soil, airspace and territorial waters and
the detention of Lebanese prisoners even after Israel's withdrawal in 2000.
It is unnecessary here to recount the full range of Israel's violations of
Palestinian "sovereignty", not least of which is its recent refusal to
accept the sovereign electoral choice of the Palestinian people. Israel's
extraterritorial, extrajudicial execution of Palestinian leaders and
activists began in the early 70s and has not ceased since. But for those
seeking further enlightenment about Hamas's recent action, the fact is that
some 650,000 acts of imprisonment have taken place since the occupation
began in 1967, and that 9,000 Palestinians are currently in Israel's jails,
including some 50 old-timers incarcerated before and despite the 1993 Oslo
accords, and many others whom Israel refuses to release on the grounds that
they have "blood on their hands", as if only one side in this conflict was
culpable, or the value of one kind of human blood was superior to another."

"Furthermore, there is nothing in the history of the region to suggest that
Israel's destruction of mass popular movements such as Hamas or Hizbullah
(even if this were possible) would drive their successors closer to
western-style democracy, and every reason to believe the opposite. Israel's
invasion of Lebanon in 1982 did away with the PLO and produced Hizbullah
instead, the incarceration and elimination of Arafat only served to
strengthen Hamas, and the wars in Afghanistan, the Gulf and Iraq gave birth
to Bin Ladenist terrorism and extended its reach and appeal. And we should
not be surprised if the summer of 2006 produces more of the same.
However Israel's latest adventure ends, it will not produce greater
sympathy and understanding between west and east, or a downturn in
extremism. Indeed the most likely outcome is that a new wave of virulent
and possibly unconventional anti-western terrorism may well crash against
this and other shores. We will all - Israelis, Arabs and westerners -
suffer as a result."
