ZOG Canada DND Coverup killing Canadian soldier by Israelis

By David Pugliese, Ottawa Citizen December 25, 2012 3:02 PM

Maj. Paeta Hess-von Kruedener and three other United Nations observers
were killed in 2006 when the Israeli military targeted their small outpost
with repeated artillery barrages as well as an attack by a fighter aircraft.

The Defence Department has quietly removed from the Internet a report
into the killing of a Canadian military officer by Israeli forces, a move the
soldier’s widow says is linked to the Conservative government’s reluctance
to criticize Israel for any wrongdoing.

Maj. Paeta Hess-von Kruedener and three other United Nations observers
were killed in 2006 when the Israeli military targeted their small outpost
with repeated artillery barrages as well as an attack by a fighter aircraft.

IN early 2008, the Defence Department posted on its website a 67-page
report from the Canadian Forces board of inquiry into the killing. The board
found Hess-von Kruedener'�s death was preventable and caused by the Israeli
military.

But less than a year later, the report was quietly removed from the DND
website and has since remained off-limits to the public through official
channels.

Hess-von Kruedener's widow, Cynthia, told the Citizen that the decision
to remove the document from the public domain was made by DND and the
government in an effort to protect Israel'�s reputation.

�They don'�t want people reading about it,� she said. �It's embarrassing
to the Israelis and, as we know, Prime Minister (Stephen) Harper has given
his unconditional support to the Israelis.�

The circumstances surrounding Hess-von Kruedener'�s death and the
attempts by DND and the Canadian Forces to limit access to the board of
inquiry report are outlined in an article in the new edition of Legion
magazine, an Ottawa-based publication sent to
members of the Royal Canadian Legion.

DND originally refused to provide the magazine with the previously
public board of inquiry report, claiming the publication needed to use the
access-to-information law to obtain a copy.

Legion magazine obtained a copy of the report by other means. It has now
posted the report on its website.

In an email sent to the Citizen, DND confirmed it had removed the board
of inquiry report from its website in early 2009 for security reasons �after
it was discovered that some of its content is considered protected
information.�

That explanation, however, doesn’t stand up to scrutiny as Legion
magazine compared both the 2008 version and the 2012 copy issued under the
access law, discovering that the latest version actually contains more
information than the original.

The Legion article also raises questions about the disappearance from
DND of a United Nations report into the killing. The document was used by the
Canadian Forces for its board of inquiry and the UN report is cited in the
Canadian report. But DND’s access to information branch claims it has done a
thorough search of records and no such report could be found.

DND could not comment on claims by defence sources that hard copies of
the board of inquiry report were also removed from military libraries.

The death of Hess-von Kruedener, a UN observer assigned to the
Israeli-Lebanon border,has largely been forgotten.

The Israeli attack on the UN outpost began shortly after noon on July
25, 2006, prompting the UN deputy secretary general to almost
immediately call the Israeli ambassador to the UN and complain.

Several hours later another artillery barrage hit the outpost. That was
followed by another 16 artillery rounds hitting the base, destroying most of
the buildings above ground and blowing the door off the underground bunker
where Hess-von Kruedener and his fellow peacekeepers had taken refuge.

At one point, a general in charge of UN operations in Lebanon called the
Israeli liaison officer and told him, �You’re killing my people.� Previously,
the Israelis halted such attacks when protests were received.

Later that day, an Israeli fighter pilot directed a precision-guided
bomb through the door of the UN bunker. The blast from the massive
bomb killed the four men.

Gen. Rick Hillier, then the chief of the defence staff, later described
the major's death as a �tragic accident.�

Cynthia Hess-von Kruedener told the Citizen that the Canadian Forces
didn’t inform her of her husband�s death. Instead, she learned he
had been killed from a television news report.

The Legion article notes the Israelis had deliberately targeted the
base. The base had been included in the Israeli military's targeting list�
which they acknowledged was an error on their part.

Cynthia Hess-von Kruedener also takes issue with some of the remarks
made by Harper about her husband. At the time of the killing, Harper
questioned what Hess-von Kruedener was doing at the UN outpost.

She said the answer is simple: He was doing his job as ordered by the
Canadian Forces and government of Canada. �Instead of asking
why this happened, (Harper) turned it onto an innocent UN peacekeeper
� she said.


On Sept. 19, 2006, then-Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert wrote Harper,
expressing his deep regret. Harper wrote back on Nov. 20, 2006, thanking
Olmert for his �expression of condolences, for the Israeli government’s rapid
investigation of the incident and for information provided to Canadian
officials.�

However, the Legion magazine article noted that the Israelis refused to
answer questions from Canada about the attack.

What can one expect when Harpo and Baird say they will defend the zionazis,
down to the last Canadian.
