David versus Goliath

From Snarks Review:
"Israeli Defense Forces on Saturday announced that Hezbollah has killed 78 Israelis (45 soldiers, 33 civilians, and with 600 wounded) since July 12, when the cross-border conflict began. In Lebanon, the Lebanese Security Forces report that the Israeli’s have done disproportionately more damage, with 683 Lebanese dead (an unknown amount of Hezbollah, 683 civilians--many of them children, and with 2,359 wounded). For the United Nations to fail to respond to this grossly disproportionate use of force on Israeli’s part is unpardonable, and demonstrates clearly the impotency of that failed organization."

This is clearly a case of David versus Goliath. And Israel is using weapons purchased in part with the $3,000,000,000 a year they get from the U.S. for military funding.

This link popped up in a newsgroup. The pictures are graphic and disturbing. What is going on there is horrifying and the rest of the world is sitting back and letting Israel slaughter children. The U.S. press is being disturbingly silent on this. Why? My theory is that what Israel is doing in Lebanon is too similar to what the U.S. did in Afghanistan and Iraq.
