Biter Bit – Hezbollah Rocket Victims Sue Al-Jazeera, Say Assisted Terror Attacks
Sharing the love: Iranian weapons ranged by Hezbollah against the Israeli population
Great example of reverse lawfare – Muslims seem endlessly to be suing the kuffar for something or other – this dramatic turning of the tables by long-suffering Israelis is certainly something we’d like to see more of:
A group of 91 victims of Hizbullah-fired Katyusha missiles in the Second Lebanon War have filed a $1.2 billion lawsuit in a U.S. federal court, charging that the Qatar-based Al Jazeera network’s war coverage aided the terrorist group.
The plaintiffs are family members who were wounded or are relatives of victims of the rockets that rained down on northern Israel for 34 days in the summer of 2006. The Kaplan vs. Al Jazeera suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages.
Attorney for the plaintiffs, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, stated, “Al-Jazeera made itself a crucial component of the Hizbullah missile offensive. The intent was to assist the terrorists in targeting and killing civilians. Without the assistance of Al-Jazeera’s on-the-ground spotters, Hizbullah would have been unable to accurately aim its missiles into Israeli cities. Al-Jazeera, which has offices in New York, aided and abetted Hizbullah terrorism and is responsible for the injuries suffered by the victims of these attacks.”
The team of lawyers who filed the suit for the victims charged that “Al-Jazeera intentionally reported live coverage of the locations of the missile strikes inside of Israel in violation of military censorship regulations, in order to enable Hizbullah to aim the missiles more accurately.
“Al-Jazeera camera crews in Israel during the war were repeatedly detained by the Israeli police for broadcasting real-time information regarding the location of missile strikes, which Hizbullah utilized to more accurately aim their missiles at civilian population centers.”
Israel has reprimanded Al Jazeera several times for its pro-Hamas coverage and for a short time prohibited government officials from speaking with reporters of the huge satellite network.
Al Jazeera previously has been the target of a U.S. complaint that its coverage is anti-American and that it describes Arab suicide bombers as “martyrs.”
The spokesman in 2006 for the U.S. Defense Department, Lt. Col Dodd Vician, stated, “Anyone, even an American living in the Middle East watching a network like Al Jazeera day after day after day, would begin to believe that America was bad just based on the biased, one-sided coverage.”
It is refreshing to say the least to see the victims of Islamic aggression turning the tables on their tormentors in this way. Muslims mine a rich vein of laws and conventions designed to protect minoritites from discrimination, in order to to pursue the slightest ‘offence’; so why should the tables not be turned by those who suffer real harm at the hands of the Islamists?
Seems perfectly equitable to us.

Sick of those Muslim scumbags… This filth is spreading across the world and we’re doing nothing…Shame on us! Start acting on it NOW! Hope the victims succeed in winning their case!
Great idea. If the spread hate on tv, they should be sued.
About time!!! And why the heck do we let them have an office in the US. Talk about stupid.
Wake-up people before the sword of the islamic death cult is at all of our throats!!
The plaintiffs should extend their suit to include the BBC, CNN and the wire services AP and Reuters.
Also maybe its time to start going directly after the individual reporters/journalists as well, deeming them as aiders and abettors before,during and after the criminal acts (after all Hezbollah are not a country, or state but a criminal gang in pursuit of terrorist goals).
Its long overdue !
The Israeli miliatry or civilian authorities that were aware of Al-Jazeera’s impact should have acted swiftly to shut them down. As a warning to others, they should never be allowed to step foot on Israeli soil again. Their lack of haste led to unneccessary death and permanent suffering of those that survived their injuries. The few measly petrodollars that could be wrestled from Al-Jazeera in a US court offers little solice to the victims. Touting this development, framing it in language of a moral victory already won, serves whom? It masks and draws attention away from those that through their own blind ignorance or willfull retraint permitted this tradegy to unfold. The direction of this approach, accountability and redress, ignores the mistress that secrets itself in Israeli’s bedroom closet.
