Death Toll in Lebanon Reaches 330, 32 dead in Israel
The Denver Post reads, "Lebanon ‘torn to shreds’"…
It notes that yesterday was the deadliest day since hostilities began, as more than 70 people were killed. The utter destruction of Lebanon and dispraportionate retaliation by Israel has yet to be accepted by Western media–most continue to simplify these crimes against humanity as Israel "defending" herself against a "terrorist organization".
The myth that Hezbollah is the principle villain continues.
The Denver Post reads: "UN Chief Kofi Annan denounced Israel for ‘excessive use of force’ and Hezbollah for holding ‘an entire nation hostage’ with its rocket attacks and snatching of two Israeli soldiers last week."
Shameful hypocrisy.
John Bolton, US ambasador to the UN, summed up the dispicable American policy towards Israeli aggression: There can be no cease-fire with a terrorist organization, so let the murder of Lebanese civilians continue. Even if the terrorist argument was remotely valid–if Israel were not guilty of terrorist acts, which it certainly is–to condemn an entire people based on the kidnapping of a few Israeli soldiers, is, in itself, corrupt.
