The Ongoing Humanitarian Disaster In The Lebanon



Annan calls for Lebanon ceasefire
Kofi Annan, the United Nations secretary general, has called for an immediate ceasefire between Israeli and Hezbollah, criticising both sides for the conflict that has left more than 300 people dead.

Annan urged Israel and Hezbollah to stop the violence and "prevent further loss of innocent life and the infliction of further suffering."

He condemned Hezbollah for their actions that "hold an entire nation hostage" and called Israel's response "excessive."

But Israel's UN Ambassador Dan Gillerman told reporters after Annan's speech that there would be no ceasefire.

Maybe its time Israel became a grown up democracy?

But that won't happen because the Israelis are afraid of becomming a minority in their own country.

There is no easy solution, you can't please everyone.

Now my solution is to raise the living standards of the Palestinians, so they won't have a reason for armed resistance, but that will take time and investment, which does not interest these warring sides.
