The pump feels it



Robert Fisk, The Independent, July 20:

How soon must we use the words “war crime”? How many children must be scattered in the rubble of Israeli air attacks before we reject the obscene phrase “collateral damage” and start talking about prosecution for crimes against humanity?

The child whose dead body lies like a rag doll beside the cars which were supposedly taking her and her family to safety is a symbol of the latest Lebanon war; she was hurled from the vehicle in which she and her family were travelling in southern Lebanon as they fled their village - on Israel’s own instructions. Because her parents were apparently killed in the same Israeli air attack, her name is still unknown. Not an unknown warrior, but an unknown child.

When will the international community condemn Israeli-led and US backed state-sponsored
terrorism in Lebanon? Of course,
they’re only Arabs

Sometimes we need The Daily Show to tackle the real issues.
