Written some time ago but never posted: Now, while the IOF once again threatens to bomb a hospital seems like an appropriate time for publication.
(Come for a quick peek into an ‘Israeli’ intelligence agents meeting as they get to the agenda item “Bombing Hospitals”. Names have been eliminated for the protection of the guilty)
Chairman: We all agree, whatever international law on conflicts says, that destroying the healthcare system of the enemy is important. However, X has requested a discussion on the current bombing of hospitals in Lebanon. X, over to you.
X: Thank you, Chairman. That was not clever, in my opinion, claiming the Lebanese hospitals have Hezbollah bunkers containing gold and weapons. Now the hospital administrators have brought the media on a tour around them so they can see for themselves that what we said was a lie.
Y: But your people agreed to bombing them – we had to have some reason for that. And anyway, that’s what we did in Gaza – bombed, sniped, invaded every one.
X: Yes, but in Gaza WE controlled press foreign media access. And WE could make OUR videos, plant weapons etc.
Y: Wait a minute! Your videos showed maintenance shafts that didn’t look anything like Hamas tunnels. And planting weapons for media video? AFTER some media had ALREADY photographed the area WITHOUT weapons?
X: Did it matter? Did any international agency step in to stop what we were doing? Do you see the UN Security Council even bringing us to court in Brussels?
Y: Well then, why are you getting all steamed up about it?
X: Are you really that thick? Don’t put out lies that can and will be checked immediately! Either get some of our agents in Lebanon to plant stuff or … or just bomb the hospitals anyway. Nobody who matters will do anything. But don’t have us caught out lying, again and again!
Y: You’re not making sense. One minute it doesn’t matter what we do, then the next it matters what we say.
X: (Clap, clap). Congratulations. You finally get it!
Y: Don’t you patronise me! Your agency fucked up big time over October 7. Don’t think we’ve forgotten!
Chairman: Gentlemen! Decorum, please! We are all colleagues here …
(We leave the discussion at this point, the sound of raised voices fading behind us …)
