Allah yirhamkum, ya Qana.

Qana was bombed again today.

Qana, where Jesus allegedly turned water into wine. Qana, where Israel bombed a UN center in 1996, killing over one hundred refugees. I cried really hard about it when I was younger.

They killed 60 people minimum there today. Apparently, most of them were women and children taking refuge in the basement of the village's strongest building. Israel said that they'd warned them to get out, but the people didn't have the money or the means to get out. It hit them at 1 or 2 AM as they slept.

People are really, really mad as a result. Riots in Beirut, etc.

Israel, I think, realizes that they fucked up. They've agreed to stop the offensive for the next 48 hours with an opening up of corridors between the north and the south of Lebanon, allowing the displaced civilians to actually get out.

"What job do they [Israel] want to finish? Do they want to finish the Lebanese, destroy Lebanon? Is this the peace they talk about?"

lebanon, israel
