Israel is proving once again how it cannot be allowed to be “let loose” on the world on the basis of it’s “right to defend itself”. The following report brings absolute shame upon that government:

Informed Comment
Israel Kills Children in Convoy Bombing; Dozens Dead
Hizbullah bombs Akka, Haifa; Wounds, Kills Civilians

The Guardian reports of Israeli’s continued war of attrition on Lebanon on Saturday:

Israel steeply escalated its military campaign against Hizbollah in Lebanon yesterday with a series of air strikes that left more than 35 civilians dead, including a single strike on a convoy of families fleeing the fighting in a village near Tyre in the south of the country that killed more than 20 people, most of them children.
Israeli warplanes bombed Lebanese civilian neighborhoods in southern Beirut again, killing non-combatants, and hitting an electricity plant. They also targeted Lebanon’s ports, including the port of a Christian area, and hit Tripoli in the north.

Disgusting. Heartbreaking. This is beyond “Enough is Enough”.  As usual,  “enough” is way too far.  It’s not that I am in any way condoning the acts of Hezballah and Hamas,  but Israel ,  in Condaleeza Rice’s words, “Has the right to defend itself”.  So they kill scores of civilians,  and ones trying to flee , no less.
