Prime Minister Fuad Saniora, meanwhile, toured the devastated Hezbollah stronghold in south Beirut and decried the destruction by Israeli bombs as a "crime against humanity." Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a Shiite and Hezbollah backer, stood at the Sunni premier's side and said they spoke with one voice.
Of cours the Hezbollah-supporting Parliament Speaker stood beside Prime Minister Saniora -- someone had to operate the puppet strings. My only question is if Berri's lips moved as he put words in the mouth of the ventriloquist dummy who nominally heads the Lebanese government.
And I'll notie that we have yet to hear a single world leader condemn the intentional attacks carried out against Israel's civilian population as "crimes against humanity" -- but every single civilian casualty caused by israel qualifies as one. That is perhaps the clearest indictment of the UN and its leadership that I can think of -- that the victim of the attack is defined as a the aggressor for daring to act in self-defense against an organization that was supposed to have been disarmed years ago under the terms of UN Resolution 1559.

Chutzpah uber alles. If you cared about UN Resolutions you would have demanded the US enforce Israel's vacation of the West Bank the moment "Rhymes with (Neocon-ersatz)Right" hit cyberspace.
A look at the casualty figures of innocents in Lebanon shows why Human Rights Watch and the international community reserved their sharpest criticism for the Zionist bandit state.

And remember, as you revel in daydreams of dropping Zyklon-B into shawers at Auschwitz, that the criticism and demands directed at Israel began before Israeli troops had even crossed into Lebanon -- but somehow never got around to including the cross-border attacks by Hezbollah or the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers that accompanied them. And to this day, the IRC has not been permitted to visit the captives as is their right under the Geneva Conventions, despite constant demands that Israel exceed the standards imposed by those documents and attempts to ascribe to Israel the responsibility for the consequences of hezbollah violations of the geneva Conventions.
But then again, for too many people on this planet, thei fondest hope is "Finish The Job", not "Never Again".
