Israel Continues Destruction of Lebanese Infrastructure
Bilal El-Amine, former editor of Left
Turn Magazine - The situation in Lebanon is increasingly
desperate as aid supply efforts are stopped or destroyed by
Israeli invaders and a looming humanitarian crisis hangs over
southern and western Lebanon as refugees flood into Beirut.
Many fear that on Saturday after foreign nationals have left,
indiscriminate Israeli attacks on civilian infrastructure
will further intensify, and civilian deaths will soar. All
while the world tacitly supports the despicable, immoral and
illegal collective punishment.

Political Overview of Invasion of Lebanon
Ali Abunimah, human rights advocate/co-founder of Electronic
Intifada and Electronic
Lebanon observes that Israel has never learned that one
reaps what one sows, as it pays for the resistance in southern
Lebanon spawned by its 1982 invasion to purge the PLO from
Lebanon. Read The
fear is growing in Beirut by Hanrady Salman. Also discussed
is the heavy Israeli military censorship and distortion of
the facts on the ground. Read Notes
from northern Israel: In the line of media fire by Jonathon
Cook on electronicLebanon.net
But there may be signs that sentiment is turning against Israel's
brutal heavy-handed response targeting civilians and the destruction
of civilian infrastructure.
