This MAY be Against International Law . . .

An Israeli fighter-bomber drops bombs on a Lebanese target. Israel claims it is bombing selected targets in Lebanon in order to hit Hezbollah strongholds. All very credible, you may think, since Hezbollah is firing rockets on Israeli cities. They should be stopped. Civilians are being hurt. Life in Northern Israel is being disrupted. Hezbollah has captured two Israeli soldiers so the Jewish state must go in with guns blazing to repatriate them.
The trouble is that this particular aircraft bombed a convoy of clearly-marked Red Cross ambulances carrying wounded civilians away from the devastation.
Some were killed.
More were injured.
A cowardly act which would be more believable if it had been done by Hitler's Nazis or Stalin's regime.
And what is the UN's reaction to this act? They stated that this MAY contravene international law.
Of course it does. Only despots would sink as low as bombing a humanitarian convoy of ambulances. Will the pilot of the aircraft be disciplined? More than likely he will get a medal from the xenophobic hate-mongers who claim to be the representatives of the Jewish people.
I do not condone what Hezbollah is doing. They fire rockets which cannot be pinpoint accurate so there must be many innocent deaths meted out by them.
Secretary of State Rice has gone to the Middle East for talks with the Israelis. She stopped off on the way in Beirut to talk to the Lebanese government. Is she carrying threats to both sides? Or is she there to boost the Israeli side? Why am I not comforted by the fact that the mighty USA has sent a high-profile government representative? Could it be that the US supplied, and probably even paid for, the bombs that were used against the convoy? Now the US, having facilitated the bombing of Lebanon, is now giving £16 million in medical aid to help alleviate the suffering of Lebanese civilians. How many billions is it giving to the Israelis so that they can continue to wreak destruction on Lebanese and Palestinian innocents?
The only people who can put an end to this conflict are the protagonists themselves. Race hate is the real evil in this region. Terrorism was the instigator of the modern state of Israel so they must expect a return in kind from their enemies. As such, the Jews must understand why their own terrorist tactics are now being used against them.
Hebrew and Arabic are two different languages. But each must learn to understand the other without the force of bombs and rockets.
