Hezbollah hits out after Bulgaria bus bomb report

Hezbollah has rejected a Bulgarian investigation that blamed it for a deadly 2012 bus bombing which killed five Israeli tourists and a bus driver.

The Lebanese Shia group's deputy leader said Israel was waging an "international campaign" against Hezbollah that would have no effect.

The Bulgarian report said two suspects were members of Hezbollah's armed wing.

The report prompted Israel's PM to call for Hezbollah to be banned as a terror group by EU nations.

Benjamin Netanyahu said the group had built a "worldwide terrorist" network and was planning attacks in two dozen countries.

Speaking a day after Bulgarian politicians and European police experts said the bomb plot had "obvious links" to Hezbollah, the group's deputy leader strongly denied the accusation.

The Bulgarian report was part of "allegations and incitements and accusations against Hezbollah" driven by Israeli paranoia over Hezbollah's continued military strength in southern Lebanon, he said.

"All these accusations against Hezbollah will have no effect, and do not change the facts," Naim Qassem said, according to Reuters news agency.

"We will not submit to these pressures and we will not change our priorities. Our compass will remain directed towards Israel."

Israel was quick to blame Hezbollah and Iran for the bus bombing in Burgas, on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast.

Tehran has always denied involvement, but Hezbollah has made no comment until now.

In Bulgaria, the country's foreign minister defended the Hezbollah allegation on Wednesday as commentators questioned whether Sofia had enough evidence to be certain of its claim.

"If Bulgaria did not have enough arguments to announce yesterday that the traces in this attack lead to Hezbollah's military wing, we would not have done it," Nikolay Mladenov told a TV station.

Analysts had questioned how Bulgaria's police and government were confident enough of their evidence to make the link to Hezbollah.

The country inevitably "relied heavily on resources from foreign security services" Tihomir Bezlov from the Centre for the Study of Democracy, a Sofia think-tank, told the AFP news agency.

Others described Bulgaria's decision to accuse Hezbollah as part of a wider "game" linked to various conflicts in the Middle East, AFP reported.

In Islam it's considered winning when your critical infrastructure gets completely destroyed.

On Saturday, Israel lost 24 soldiers — the equivalent, given Israel's small population, of 1,200 Americans.

Imagine losing 1,200 GI's and marines in one day in Iraq.

All together Israel lost 156 people, of whom 116 were soldiers.That's the equivalent of 5,800 American soldiers, and a total of 7,800 American lives.

As of August 9, 2006 — that is, after three years plus of fighting — America has lost 2,793 dead in Iraq and Afghanistan, of which 2,593 were killed in Iraq.

Proportionally, Israel has lost more than twice that amount in just four weeks.

:eat2: thats not even counting the ones that were kidnapped and later on traded for a couple of hundred of freedom fighters

Did Israel Lose The War? - The New York Sun

For the first time, the Israel Defence Forces were unable to prevail in an all-out war.

– Olivier Roy, Financial Times

What is new – and dramatically so – about this campaign is its outcome. Arabs soon dubbed this the sixth Arab-Israeli war, and for some of them – and indeed for some Israelis – it already ranks, in its strategic, psychological and political consequences, as perhaps the most significant since Israel’s ‘war of independence’ in 1948 ... A small band of irregulars kept at bay one of the world’s most powerful armies for over a month, and inflicted remarkable losses on it.

– David Hirst, the Guardian’s veteran Middle East correspondent

Israeli military authorities talked of ‘cleaning’ and ‘mopping up’ operations by their soldiers south of the Litany river but, to the Lebanese, it seems as if it is the Hizbollah that have been doing the ‘mopping up’. By last night, the Israelis had not even been able to reach the dead crew of a helicopter – shot down on Saturday night – which crashed into a Lebanese valley.

– Robert Fisk, of the Independent, on the last day of the war

Hizbollah could not inflict a major military defeat on Israel, a possibility that was always excluded by the utterly disproportionate balance of forces in the same way that it was impossible for the Vietnamese resistance to inflict a major military defeat on the US; but neither could Israel inflict any defeat on Hizbollah. In this sense, Hizbollah is undoubtedly the real political victor and Israel the real loser in the 33-day war.

– Gilbert Achcar, Lebanese Marxist living in France

Hizbollah has remained as it was. It has not been destroyed, nor disarmed, nor even removed from where it was. Its fighters have proved themselves in battle and have even garnered compliments from Israeli soldiers ... In Israel, there is now a general atmosphere of disappointment and despondency.

– Uri Avnery, Israeli writer

JERUSALEM – In the coming days, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his government ministers will attempt to persuade Israeli voters and the international community that Israel achieved its political and military objectives during its campaign in Lebanon.

Olmert will likely claim Hezbollah’s capabilities have been minimized; a strong, armed force will soon be deployed in south Lebanon capable of contending with Hezbollah; and that the political momentum for a new Middle East settlement is now on Israel’s side.

In actuality, these claims couldn’t be further from the truth. Israel lost the war in Lebanon on all fronts. This is so largely because Olmert refused to allow the Israeli Defense Forces to do its job.

Days after Hezbollah provoked Israel last month by firing rockets into Jewish towns and by ambushing an Israeli military patrol unit killing 8 soldiers and kidnapping two others, the IDF presented Olmert with several battle plans it says could have devastated Hezbollah within an estimated three weeks.
