US rushes bombs to Israel
The US has, according to the NY Times, rushed a shipment of bombs to Israel, presumably to slaughter more Lebanese. The US military aid to Israel ($3 billion/year) amounts to 20% of Israel's military budget.
U.N. and Lebanese officials estimate at least 360 Lebanese civilians have been killed and more than 1,000 wounded, with about 700,000 people already displaced since Israel's bombings began. According to the United Nation's emergency relief co-coordinator, Jan Egeland, nearly one third of casualties resulting from the Israeli offensive in Lebanon have been children.
