Heatwave

Yes it’s hot. But at least your house and town are not being bombed.
(If they are, I apologise from the bottom of my heart)

“if the option of peace fails as a result of Israeli arrogance, then the only option remaining will be war, and God alone knows what the region would witness in a conflict that would spare no one”.
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, yesterday – Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I awoke this morning as I have for the past two weeks to the dulcite tones of Radio4 telling me how many lebanese civilians have been killed during the night, how much more of Beruit has been obliterated, that an ambulance has been blown up, that Koffi Anan is ‘shocked'(read pissed off) that a UN post has been blown up. The one thing that comes across in all of this is that Israel just don’t give a fuck. We’re going to blow this place to shit and we don’t care what anyone says. Even if a ceasefire deal was announced now, it gives little comfort to the Lebanese who’s country has been destroyed once again by an invading Isaeli force. I find it unbeleivable that Israel and it’s few allies honestly beleive they can stamp out those darn ‘terrorists’ through such mindless force. It sickens me to the core, and what has been going on in Palestine the past few weeks – is the water and electricity still cut off? Are Israeli tanks still roaming gaza destroying more homes?

I know I’m seeing this from a very polarised view point, but Israel have done themselves no favours this time, and I cannot see anyone except the good old US of A having any sympathy left for them after this.
