I sent this to the Guardian newspaper. It was published. It was read by many peopl. We are here with you.

I am sick of the semantics, lies and moral relativism that are being used to justify the systematic slaughter of Lebanon and the Lebanese.Today this relentless bombing of civilians is not about whether two soldiers were snatched away. It is not about the aims of Syria or Iran. It is not about the Palestinian question. It is not about Blair's intellectually dishonest conflation of everything that is happening in the world. It is not about the puppet regimes of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan. And it is most definitely not about Israel's need to defend itself. This war has been packaged and repackaged so much that we have forgotten about the people who are bearing the brunt of it.

Today this war is about the Lebanese. Like all wars its final destination is death and suffering. Over a quarter of the population of four million are now displaced. Over 1000 civilians have been counted dead while others lie under the rubble. And twenty years of rebuilding has been destroyed. And while the Lebanese wonder if , tomorrow, they will have a country, a family or a shot at a life, the international community sits constipated, totally complicit with Israel on everything right down to not enabling humanitarian aid to reach these people.

So to all the people who are arguing whether it was 28 or 56 at Qana, to the people who hide behind the mantra of "We have to get the terrorists" and the people who think a war can be won, I say get a life. Because today the Lebanese have no hope of one.

Very well said!
People of America - take off that blindfold and stare this BS straight in to the eye. Denial is the path to slavery by your own choice!!

What will you do about it?

I had a look two weeks ago on some statistics about liban, i saw it on www.e-liban.com and this site seems amazing!! All what we can say is that this war is about the Lebanese. Like all wars its final destination is death and suffering. Over a quarter of the population of four million are now displaced. we should stop this war in a different way.
