イスラエルのレバノン攻撃の真の狙いは政体の変更と傀儡政権の樹立である。
1982年にアメリカの全面的後押しで行われたアリエル・シャロンの侵略の継続である。

The Real Aim
15-7-2006
THE REAL aim is to change the regime in Lebanon and to install a puppet government.
That was the aim of Ariel Sharon's invasion of Lebanon in 1982. It failed. But Sharon and his pupils in the military and political leadership have never really given up on it.
As in 1982, the present operation, too, was planned and is being carried out in full coordination with the US.
As then, there is no doubt that it is coordinated with a part of the Lebanese elite.
That's the main thing. Everything else is noise and propaganda.
ON THE eve of the 1982 invasion, Secretary of State Alexander Haig told Ariel Sharon that, before starting it, it was necessary to have a "clear provocation", which would be accepted by the world.
The provocation indeed took place - exactly at the appropriate time - when Abu-Nidal's terror gang tried to assassinate the Israeli ambassador in London. This had no connection with Lebanon, and even less with the PLO (the enemy of Abu-Nidal), but it served its purpose.
This time, the necessary provocation has been provided by the capture of the two Israeli soldiers by Hizbullah. Everyone knows that they cannot be freed except through an exchange of prisoners. But the huge military campaign that has been ready to go for months was sold to the Israeli and international public as a rescue operation.
(Strangely enough, the very same thing happened two weeks earlier in the Gaza Strip. Hamas and its partners captured a soldier, which provided the excuse for a massive operation that had been prepared for a long time and whose aim is to destroy the Palestinian government.)
THE DECLARED aim of the Lebanon operation is to push Hizbullah away from the border, so as to make it impossible for them to capture more soldiers and to launch rockets at Israeli towns. The invasion of the Gaza strip is also officially aimed at getting Ashkelon and Sderot out of the range of the Qassams.
That resembles the 1982 "Operation Peace for Gallilee". Then, the public and the Knesset were told that the aim of the war was to "push the Katyushas 40 km away from the border".
That was a deliberate lie. For 11 months before the war, not a single Katyusha rocket (nor a single shot) had been fired over the border. From the beginning, the aim of the operation was to reach Beirut and install a Quisling dictator. As I have recounted more than once, Sharon himself told me so nine months before the war, and I duly published it at the time, with his consent (but unattributed).
Of course, the present operation also has several secondary aims, which do not include the freeing of the prisoners. Everybody understands that that cannot be achieved by military means. But it is probably possible to destroy some of the thousands of missiles that Hizbullah has accumulated over the years. For this end, the army chiefs are ready to endanger the inhabitants of the Israeli towns that are exposed to the rockets. They believe that that is worthwhile, like an exchange of chess figures.
Another secondary aim is to rehabilitate the "deterrent power" of the army. That is a codeword for the restoration of the army's injured pride that has suffered a severe blow from the daring military actions of Hamas in the south and Hizbullah in the north.
OFFICIALLY, THE Israeli government demands that the Government of Lebanon disarm Hizbullah and remove it from the border region.
That is clearly impossible under the present Lebanese regime, a delicate fabric of ethno-religious communities. The slightest shock can bring the whole structure crashing down and throw the state into total anarchy - especially after the Americans succeeded in driving out the Syrian army, the only element that has for years provided some stability.
The idea of installing a Quisling in Lebanon is nothing new. In 1955, David Ben-Gurion proposed taking a "Christian officer" and installing him as dictator. Moshe Sharet showed that this idea was based on complete ignorance of Lebanese affairs and torpedoed it. But 27 years later, Ariel Sharon tried to put it into effect nevertheless. Bashir Gemayel was indeed installed as president, only to be murdered soon afterwards. His brother, Amin, succeeded him and signed a peace agreement with Israel, but was driven out of office. (The same brother is now publicly supporting the Israeli operation.)
The calculation now is that if the Israeli Air Force rains heavy enough blows on the Lebanese population - paralysing the sea- and airports, destroying the infrastructure, bombarding residential neighborhoods, cutting the Beirut-Damascus highroad etc. - the public will get furious with Hizbullah and pressure the Lebanese government into fulfilling Israel's demands. Since the present government cannot even dream of doing so, a dictatorship will be set up with Israel's support.
That is the military logic. I have my doubts. It can be assumed that most Lebanese will react as any other people on earth would: with fury and hatred towards the invader. That happened in 1982, when the Shiites in the south of Lebanon, until then as docile as a doormat, stood up against the Israeli occupiers and created the Hizbullah, which has become the strongest force in the country. If the Lebanese elite now becomes tainted as collaborators with Israel, it will be swept off the map. (By the way, have the Qassams and Katyushas caused the Israeli population to exert pressure on our government to give up? Quite the contrary.)
The American policy is full of contradictions. President Bush wants "regime change" in the Middle East, but the present Lebanese regime has only recently been set up by under American pressure. In the meantime, Bush has succeeded only in breaking up Iraq and causing a civil war (as foretold here). He may get the same in Lebanon, if he does not stop the Israeli army in time. Moreover, a devastating blow against Hizbullah may arouse fury not only in Iran, but also among the Shiites in Iraq, on whose support all of Bush's plans for a pro-American regime are built.
So what's the answer? Not by accident, Hizbullah has carried out its soldier-snatching raid at a time when the Palestinians are crying out for succor. The Palestinian cause is popular all over the Arab word. By showing that they are a friend in need, when all other Arabs are failing dismally, Hizbullah hopes to increase its popularity. If an Israeli-Palestinian agreement had been achieved by now, Hizbullah would be no more than a local Lebanese phenomenon, irrelevant to our situation.
LESS THAN three months after its formation, the Olmert-Peretz government has succeeded in plunging Israel into a two-front war, whose aims are unrealistic and whose results cannot be foreseen.
If Olmert hopes to be seen as Mister Macho-Macho, a Sharon # 2, he will be disappointed. The same goes for the desperate attempts of Peretz to be taken seriously as an imposing Mister Security. Everybody understands that this campaign - both in Gaza and in Lebanon - has been planned by the army and dictated by the army. The man who makes the decisions in Israel now is Dan Halutz. It is no accident that the job in Lebanon has been turned over to the Air Force.
The public is not enthusiastic about the war. It is resigned to it, in stoic fatalism, because it is being told that there is no alternative. And indeed, who can be against it? Who does not want to liberate the "kidnapped soldiers"? Who does not want to remove the Katyushas and rehabilitate deterrence? No politician dares to criticize the operation (except the Arab MKs, who are ignored by the Jewish public). In the media, the generals reign supreme, and not only those in uniform. There is almost no former general who is not being invited by the media to comment, explain and justify, all speaking in one voice.
(As an illustration: Israel's most popular TV channel invited me to an interview about the war, after hearing that I had taken part in an anti-war demonstration. I was quite surprised. But not for long - an hour before the broadcast, an apologetic talk-show host called and said that there had been a terrible mistake - they really meant to invite Professor Shlomo Avineri, a former Director General of the Foreign Office who can be counted on to justify any act of the government, whatever it may be, in lofty academic language.)
"Inter arma silent Musae" - when the weapons speak, the muses fall silent. Or, rather: when the guns roar, the brain ceases to function.
AND JUST a small thought: when the State of Israel was founded in the middle of a cruel war, a poster was plastered on the walls: "All the country - a front! All the people - an army!"
58 Years have passed, and the same slogan is still as valid as it was then. What does that say about generations of statesmen and generals?

『偽イスラエル政治神話』
第３章：神話の政治的利用
第２節：フランスのイスラエル=シオニスト・ロビー
[中略]
［イスラエル支持報道による事件の意味の逆転現象］
何よりの証拠は、メディアのほぼ全体に及ぶ横並び現象であり、イスラエルを支持する立場から、事件の意味が逆転して報道されている。典型例を挙げれば、メディアは、弱者の暴力を“テロリズム”と報道し、強者の暴力を“テロリズムに対抗する戦い”と報道するのである。
虚弱なユダヤ人が、ＰＬＯの背教者の手で“アキレ・ラウロ”号の船外に投げ出されると、これは確実にテロリズムであり、その報道には誰も異議を唱えられない。ところが、その報復として、イスラエルがチュニスを爆撃して五〇人を殺し、その中には何人かの子供までいても、これは“テロリズムに対抗する戦いであり、法と秩序の防衛である”と報道されるのである。
あたかも、幕の陰に隠れたオーケストラの指揮者が振り回す細い指揮棒に従っているかのように、およそすべての“メディア”から、コペルニク通りのユダヤ教会堂への襲撃であろうと、カルパントラ墓地での不敬行為［後出］であろうと、レバノンへの侵略であろうと、イラクの破壊であろうと、常に、まったく同じ音楽が流れ出てくる。
私は、自分の個人的な経験にもとづく証言を提出することができる。
一九八二年に至るまで、私は、テレヴィ、ラディオ、新聞などの最も大きい報道機関を通じて、自由に意見を発表することができた。
レバノンへの侵略と虐殺が起きた時には、日刊紙、『ル・モンド』の編集長、ジャック・フォーヴェから、一九八二年六月一七日号に有料で、丸々一頁の意見広告記事を載せる権利を獲得し、ミシェル・ルロング神父、パストゥール・マッチオと一緒に、《レバノンでの虐殺とイスラエルの侵略が意味するもの》と題する見解を発表した。
われわれは、あの侵略行為が、決して一時的なやり過ぎといったものではなくて、イスラエル国家創建の基礎をなす政治的シオニズムの、内的な論理にもとづく行為なのだということを説明した。
その後、私は、匿名の手紙と電話で、合計九回の殺しの脅迫を受けた。
ＬＩＣＲＡは、われわれを相手にして、“反ユダヤ宣伝と人種差別の挑発”を理由とする民事訴訟を提起した。
『ル・モンド』の編集長、ジャック・フォーヴェの弁護士は、何度も繰返して、その信仰までも含むユダヤ人社会と、イスラエル国家とを混同するべきではないし、イスラエルがレバノンで行なった不当行為に関しては、マンデス・フランスやナフム・ゴールドマンのような高名なユダヤ人も告発していると主張した。
われわれ、ミシェル・ルロング神父、パストゥール・マッチオと私自身の弁護は、聖書の原典そのものから発した。われわれは、われわれの生命がユダヤの予言者の誓約の賜物であると、何度も繰返して主張した。
ところが、政治的シオニズムは、イスラエルの神の代わりに、イスラエル国家を置き換えているのである。
レバノンに対しての、そしてパレスチナにおけるイスラエルの振舞いは、憎悪を煽り立てるのみであり、世間の目の前でユダヤ教の面目を汚すものである。われわれの政治的シオニズムに対する戦いは、それゆえに、われわれの反ユダヤ主義に対する戦いと不可分なのである。
