Human Rights Organizations Untroubled By Dozens Of Israeli Secret Arrests, Planned Executions Of Terrorists
Just kidding, obviously. They're seemingly untroubled by secret arrests and planned executions, but only because Lebanon is doing it:
"The blood of the martyred soldiers is a deposit around the neck of the army which will not rest before the criminals are arrested and taken to justice," army commander General Michel Suleiman said at the wake of a fallen soldier. The authorities charged three more members of Fatah al-Islam with terrorism on Thursday, bringing to 30 the total indicted, judicial sources said. The charges carry the death penalty.
Ah well, there's probably a very subtle distinction that allows Lebanon to get the "not a human rights violation" badge, while Israel is condemned for being twice as careful while doing half of what the LAF is doing. Especially when Israel doesn't even have the death penalty for arrested terrorists. A subtle distinction like - and we're just spitballing here, maybe you can come up with something else - "in Israel, the victims of terrorism are just Jews".
