The Horror



'50 killed' as Israeli air strike hits children

UN stormed amid fury over Qana bombing

Dozens killed in Lebanon air raid
More than 40 civilians, including 20 children, have been killed in a town in southern Lebanon in the deadliest Israeli strike of the conflict.

Displaced families had been sheltering in the basement of a house in Qana, which was crushed after a direct hit.

The US secretary of state has cancelled a visit to Lebanon as its prime minister says he will only discuss a full and immediate ceasefire.

Hundreds of protesters are staging a violent demonstration in Beirut.

An angry crowd attacked the UN building, chanting slogans against the US and Israel and in support of Hezbollah.

Almost 2 weeks now and Israel is no closer to its goal, this madness has to stop.

Since airforces first appeared they have promised that they'll win a war by bombing a place back to the stone ages, that is complete rubbish, you will always need infantry.

I don't deny Hezbollah have their own agenda, but the organisation is embedded in the Lebanese political system and provides much needed infrastructure for the Shiites in southern Lebanese e.g. schools, hospitals etc.

its roots run deep and bombing southern Lebanon to thy kingdom come is not going to work.

It is good to see Jack Straw speaking out against what Israel is doing in the Lebanon and Blair's servile attitude
