Israel has rejected a call by the United Nations for a 72-hour pause in fighting in southern Lebanon to allow humanitarian aid to get to trapped civilians.
The UN says the temporary cease-fire is also needed to enable relief workers to evacuate elderly, young and wounded people.
But Israeli Government spokesman Avi Pazner says the halt is not necessary because Israel has opened a humanitarian corridor to and from Lebanon
Mr Pazner says Israel is not blocking aid from reaching south Lebanon.
“The problem is completely different,” he said.
“It is Hezbollah which is deliberately preventing the transfer of medical aid and food to the population of southern Lebanon in order to create a humanitarian crisis, which they want to blame Israel for.”
Of course!
Whoever said that the first casualty of war is truth?

Chyeah!! And no one really seems to want to know the truth…
Where’s the LOVE people!
I reckon the Israelis are telling the odd fib. See my blog, at http://spyingbadthings.blogspot.com for the TRUTH and be the first non American (and non Kiwi suspect) to comment.
