More than 50 Lebanese civilians - some news reports say 54 - sheltering in the basement of a three storey block in Qana have been murdered by the IDF, rescue workers are digging out their bodies by hand, severely hampered by the lack of heavy moving equipment. Angry Lebanese have invaded the UN compound in Beirut and the impending visit of Condoleeza Rice has been cancelled, in revulsion, by the Lebanese government - however, the US spin machine is in overdrive as RTE's Radio 1 is now reporting that Condi called of her empty shuttle efforts herself. read full story / add a comment

The Israeli airforce as we must know by now, in their fight against an estimated 18,000 strong terrorist organisation have destroyed 80% of the infrastructure of a nation-state of less than 4 million people. They've now topped it off by bombing Southern Lebanon's Jiyeh power plant. A plant which had 6 fuel tanks, 4 of them have now burnt - Lebanon is appealing for foam - 1 is still is burning - and 15,000 tonnes of oil have poured onto more than 90 kilometres of the Lebanese coast from Jiyyeh to Shekka, north of the capital, including Beirut's only sandy public beach of Ramlet al-Baida,the coast. To put this in perspective the Prestige Oil Tanker polluted Galicia in Spain by sinking off coast with 30,000 tonnes of oil. At risk is not only the wildlife of the eastern Mediterranean sea, and ironically the fish and birds of northern Israel as well as all of Lebanon - but also the comparatively rare "green back turtle". Its so rare they sell T-shirts of it and do their best to keep it off the extinction list..., read full story / add a comment

Has the media has been lying to us all along to justify the horrific Israeli military action against Lebanon? We have all been told that Hezbollah breached Israeli borders and captured Israeli soldiers from behind the Israeli lines and this has been the justification for the annialation of lebanon and the killing of around 400 lebanese people and 4 U.N. observers. read full story / add a comment |
