“The Israeli air strike on the Lebanese village of Qana early Sunday morning did more than kill 57 civilians,” says Jefferson Morley in the Washington Post. “According to a wide range of commentary in the international media, it inflamed already boiling public opinion in the Arab world against Israel, undermined what little support the United States has among the Lebanese people, and illuminated the continuing inability of Israel and the United States to achieve their goal of decisively weakening Hezbollah.” The Hindustan Times editorialized that “with Qana, one senses that the Israelis’ definition of ‘collateral damage’ has started to bear a striking resemblance to that of the very terrorist organisation that they are keen to destroy.” At a rally outside the State Department building protesting the Qana “massacre” on Monday, Leftist protestors chanted, “Hey, Rice!

Thank you for your comment.
The contemporary Conservative Party distances itself from Mrs Thatcher. To be a 'Thatcherite' would be the kiss of death of any would be politial career.
If this was another time, we'd never know about any of this P.A.B.E. fraud. (Print and Broadcast Enemy)
The hez-bulls and their allies lie so much their noses are longer than Pinocchio's.
"Does anybody here remember how the media screamed when they thought that they were being manipulated during the first gulf war by the US military? But when they're being blatently used for propaganda by the terrorists, nothing."
That tells you which side they are on, doesn't it?
