UN appalled by Beirut devastation

[DoYouEverWonder]

23 July 2006

The UN's Jan Egeland has condemned the devastation caused by Israeli air strikes in Beirut, saying it is a violation of humanitarian law.

Mr Egeland, the UN's emergency relief chief, described the destruction as "horrific" as he toured the city.

He arrived hours after another Israeli strike on Beirut. Israel also hit Sidon, a port city in the south crammed with refugees, for the first time.

In Haifa, two people died as Hezbollah rockets struck the Israeli city.

8. Didn't our House just endorse Israel?

Hey wait just a minute "guys". Didn't the US House of Representatives (including Democrats) just pass a resolution endorsing Israel last week? We elected this group.
