More Evidence Casts Doubt Over Mainstream Account of Qana

Israel Insider provides a Lebanese report which says that Hizballah placed a rocket launcher on the building in question as bait for the IDF and brought invalid children inside the building to create the ultimate PR victory for themselves. According to the report, this was a desperate measure in light of Lebanese PM Siniora’s seven-point plan including a cease fire and the long-term pacification of the Israeli/Lebanese border.

The Confederate Yankee raises some serious issues with the accepted version of events, including the disparity between the time of the IDF air-raid and the time the building collapsed. Warning, the pictures below the report are very graphic.

The blog EU Referendum questions the Hizballah version of events through problems raised by the photographic evidence. More very graphic images here. Report and Update

Judeoscope highlights a letter sent to German Paper Der Tagesspiegel from a Lebanese Shia from south Lebanon in which he says

“The social work of the Party of God consisted in building a school and a residence over these bunkers! A local sheikh explained to me laughing that the Jews would lose in any event because the rockets would either be fired at them or if they attacked the rocket depots, they would be condemned by world opinion on account of the dead civilians”.
