I honestly thought it was about food when I saw the headline on the BBC front page. Maybe I'm just hungry!

"Yesterday Israel rejected an ambitious plan sponsored by the UN to move thousands of tonnes of aid using three sea routes to the ports of Sidon, Tripoli and Beirut"

Hmmm... maybe Lebanon should tell Hezbollah to stop firing rockets from inside the city, and stop killing everyone trying to leave.
Hezbollah fires up to six rockets from a movable vehicle then drives it to a different location before the Israeli counter strike bombs land.
When Hezbollah fires it's first Rocket it is tracked from the starting position and coordinates are sent to Israel, Israel fires back and uh oh...
Hezbollah is doing this to it's own country. Wft.
And there are quite a few reports saying Hezbollah is killing the people trying to leave and blaming Israel. Hezbollah wants to keep as many people as possible in the city to up the civilian death toll to make Israel look bad.
Again. Wtf.
Hopefully Rice can 'stop this shit' soon.

garrett_west, i totally respect that you were in the military and all but this can't be just.
if israeli weapons are so accurate then why are milk factories being blown up and civillians being so heavily targeted? why was yet another village told to evacuate yesterday only for a minibus of civilians at the back of the convoy to be blown up by the israeli airforce?
please show me your sources that say Hezbollah are deliberately killing lebanese civillians and blaming the deaths on the israelis.

(Link below Vespa)
Israeli warheads have completely different casings than a hezbollah rocket. If you look at some of the pictures of cars and trucks being hit by the Israeli air force the impact zone is quite small. More the size of an RPG or rocket than a 500lb. bomb dropped from an F-16. And, ever see the size of a shell shot from an artillery cannon? It could take out 4 cars, not one.
Here is the link. I copied the important text...
http://www.boston.com/news/globe…
"It should be obvious by now that Hezbollah and Hamas actually want the Israeli military to kill as many Lebanese and Palestinian civilians as possible. That is why they store their rockets underneath the beds of civilians. That is why they launch their missiles from crowded civilian neighborhoods and hide among civilians. They are seeking to induce Israel to defend its civilians by going after them among their civilian ``shields." They know that every civilian they induce Israel to kill hurts Israel in the media and the international and human rights communities. They regard these human shields as ``Shahids," or martyrs, even if they did not volunteer for the lethal jobs."

A summary of Ms Rice's trip to Israel:
RICE: Hey Israel, well done on widening the conflict to Lebanon. You’re a useful ally to have, we didn’t have the guts to reshape the country ourselves, so well done on your own efforts. Only, killing all those civilians and flattening all those villages and cities is making people queezy, can you just tone it down a tad?
ISRAEL: Never! The Arabs must be taught a lesson not to fuck with the might of Israel!! Muahahahaaa!!
RICE: Ummmm ok. Oh yeah, here’s some rockets and ammo and shit. But before I give them to you, you have to promise not to keep blowing up convoys of escaping civllians.
ISRAEL: We cannot make such a promise.
RICE: Ok, well here’s the rockets anyway. xxx

Alan Dershowitz is renowned for his pro-israeli articles isn't he?
He also believes that torturing "terror suspects" is just, and in the lebanese context, that "civilian" is an "increasingly meaningless word" which should be replaced by a new phrase, "the continuum of civilianality." "Nor can women and children always be counted as civilians".
