Israel said it regretted the incident - but added that civilians had been warned to flee the village.
...
Now there's a comforting thing to put on their graves.
(And Hezbollah, don't try that martyr act on their behalf. Israel might be killing more people right now, but don't think for a moment most of the world don't realise you wouldn't do exactly the same if you had the same firepower as Israel. You're trying your best as it is. You have no moral high ground to stand on. Fuck off.)
Seriously, I think I'm running out of words. However, I'm sure I could find some if the leaders of Hezbollah, Israel, Syria, Iran, Hamas and the fucking "West" could be stuck in a room together and forced to STFU. How brave you are, some of you, playing political chess by launching rockets at civilians. I'm so impressed. Because nothing shows your might and determination like making children die. Nothing shows true courage like watching people die and suffer. Nothing is quite as impressive a good dick-measure contest with long range missiles. Oh yeah. Just so impressed, I am.
Why I'm using sarcasm when it's not really funny I don't know, but it's either that or apathy at the moment. What truly scares me, is that the longer this goes on, the more I'm thinking there actually is no solution to it. There's so many agendas at play and fucked if I know what's fair anymore. People not having to die would be a bloody good place to start, though.
Why are the simplest things always so hard?

Date: 2006-07-30 04:58 pm (UTC)bc most people are selfish and only think about themselves. i'm of the jack o'neill school of diplomacy. lock them all in a room until they come to some sort of compromise.
and people wonder why i'm a pacifist... and the really fucked up thing about it, is those on the front lines are trying to stop the same things from happening to their family.
it just sucks.

Date: 2006-07-30 05:15 pm (UTC)What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Gotta go out and get those reds —
The only good commie is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.
Quite.
