America, fuck yeah...
Thank god John Bolton is the Ambassador to the US. I wouldn't be OK with an Ambassador who thought that the deaths in Israel were equivalent. Clearly a Jew is more important than an Arab and the death of Lebanese civilians by Israeli forces, as Israle is defending itself, is a "tragic and unfortunate consequence," however the death of Isralies are "malicious terrorist acts."

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - US Ambassador John Bolton said there was no moral equivalence between the civilian casualties from the Israeli raids in Lebanon and those killed in Israel from "malicious terrorist acts".
Asked to comment on the deaths in an Israeli air strike of eight Canadian citizens in southern Lebanon Sunday, he said: "it is a matter of great concern to us ...that these civilian deaths are occurring. It's a tragedy."
"I think it would be a mistake to ascribe moral equivalence to civilians who die as the direct result of malicious terrorist acts," he added, while defending as "self-defense" Israel's military action, which has had "the tragic and unfortunate consequence of civilian deaths".
