In war you talk about killing, not murder

FINTAN LANE tries to attack Israel, this time from a different angle (Irish Examiner letters, August 15).

Unfortunately, he makes a number of statements that are not based on fact. He accuses the Israeli military of continuing to infringe Lebanese sovereignty by occupying farmlands in the very south of the country.

With his great knowledge of the Middle East I’m sure he meant the Shebaa Farms, and of course he knows that after the withdrawal from Lebanon, the UN certified that Israel had done everything required of it for the simple reason — accepted by everyone except Hezbollah —that the Shebaa Farms were part of Syria.
