Haaretz is a Leftist paper with a more then questionable track record in the credebility of what they'll publish. Many of their stories are unsubstantiated sensationalism.

We have a correspondent and an unnamed source and that's about it. Yes, the paper is from Israel, but when was that a license for automatic credebility? If Israel wasn't constantly libeled for fictional war crimes on a daily basis it might be easier to take this "report" at face value. It's become the principle source for several articles, but has anybody gone and done a follow up investigation? What with the inhumane destruction this article hints to (including the suggestion that Israel used chemicals) that shouldn't be so hard. The Lebanese Arabs are not shy for the cameras. Israel knew going in that no matter what they did in Lebanon, they would be accused of war crimes. There are people after all who believe Israel's existance alone is a war crime. Many of those people are Israeli citizens, who work for Haaretz, or hold tenure at Israel's Universities. So where are the investigative reports to substantiate the claims? This sure as hell isn't it.
