Dan Halutz: Target Civilians in Retribution

IOF chief of staff Dan Halutz “has given the order to the air force to destroy 10 multi-storey buildings in the Dahaya district (of Beirut) in response to every rocket fired on Haifa,” reports Khaleej Times, citing IOF radio.

One can’t help but think of the Nazis when hearing this news. Not unlike the Ordungspolizei and Wehrmacht in Eastern Europe, the Israeli military has signaled its desire to take collective punishment to a new and horrific level, but then, since few complain and the corporate media cheers them on, this should be expected.

Dan Halutz appears to be a modern Erich von dem Bach, SS-Obergruppenführer, responsible for reprisal actions against partisans (terrorists, of course) and the shooting of POWs during the September Campaign (Fall Weiß), or invasion of Poland and Eastern Europe in 1939.

In addition to slaughtering the resistance, von dem Bach was tasked with “mass resettlements and the confiscation of private property. By August 1940 his units had deprived more than 20,000 families from the Zywiec region of their homes and had forced them to leave,” sort of like the Israelis depriving the people of southern Lebanon of their land and homes.

In February 1942, von dem Bach was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown connected with ethnic cleansing in Belarus.

One has to wonder—will Dan Halutz suffer a nervous breakdown in connection with targeting high-rise apartments in Beirut?
