Machiavellian Death and Destruction...

Can anyone comprehend what is going on in Lebanon???

The wanton destruction of the civilian infrastructure: airport, roadways, bridges, lighthouse, fueling facilities, power plants, etc, etc, of Lebanon and the collateral killing of it's citizens is nothing short of a war crime against humanity in my book.

"The United Nations emergency relief co-coordinator, Jan Egeland has stated that nearly one third of casualties resulting from the Israeli offensive in Lebanon have been children."

From New York Times: "Zahra al-Samra, 18, was comforted by her brother Tuesday in a hospital in Hosh, Lebanon, two days after she was wounded and their mother and sister died in an Israeli airstrike in nearby Tyre."


But here in America, the people will remain ignorant and will NEVER be able to comprehend the suffering since the US media is too shaded to ever show pictures of the actual Death and Destruction of the innocent Lebanese. Unlike other regions of the World, the US news is "sanitized" for our consumption so that any dead human being is reduced to just a number and statistic in our minds. Thank goodness for a non-censored Internet, here is a site by a US college professor that shows what the US media will not:

The Moral High Ground: And by doing these deeds (with US taxpayer funded Death and Destruction machines and weapons), Israel says it is to eliminate the terrorist - Hizbullah. But in reality, their gross and counter productive over reaction against the city and citizens of Lebanon will only FUEL Hizbullah since they are creating 10x's MORE Hizbullah recruits for each innocent killed. And so far, about 320 innocent Lebanese civilians (read 100+ children) have been killed. How much more will it take for the WORLD to scream STOP??? I for one cannot take any more...

What a Machiavellian way to try and justify the murderous means to what will ultimately be a never ending story of violence.

Sorry to sound so depressed...Peace.
