War crimes?

According to the BBC, just before the "cease fire" in Lebanon the Israelis sent a barrage of artillery into southern Lebanon. To be expected, you might think. They had to wipe out as much of the Hezbollah enclaves as they could before they stopped firing artillery and bombing. So they used "legal" weapons. The artillery contained cluster bombs. Cluster bombs are legal under international conventions provided they are used against military targets. A good idea. Spread the destruction into the enemy lines to destroy as many personnel as possible. But the conventions clearly state that such weapons should not be used against civilian targets. Orla Guerin of the BBC clearly showed us pictures of unexploded cluster bombs in obviously civilian villages. We were shown pictures of injured children - some of whom would never fully recover from their wounds.
I know Hezbollah have sent rockets into Israel and killed many Israeli civilians.
That is wrong and should be decried by all decent people.
But what the Israelis have done is tantamount to war crimes. There is no doubt that in the type of war Israel is fighting they cannot be sure of hitting only military targets. Hezbollah's tactic of basing themselves in ordinary villages makes sure of that. But to disregard the "collateral" injuries and deaths caused by the use of such cluster bombs is surely a war crime.
Will Israel ever have to answer charges on this matter?
NO, of course not. They have the might of the fascist US military machine on their side.
Bush would not allow it. And what George W says is next to what God says.
Bollocks!
Nuff said . . .
