Tragedy in Lebanon

What a disgraceful situation in Lebanon.

The Lebanese Army shows that while it will have tea with Israeli invaders, it is more than happy to indiscriminately shell Palestinian refugees. (And of course the US is always willing to pitch in when it comes to killing Palestinians.)

The media tries to paint Palestinians as terrorists, though the members of Fatah al-Islam are nearly everything but Palestinian.

Instead of condemning the massacre of Palestinian civilians, the American Task Force on Palestine (which hangs out with the AIPAC-financed WINEP) and the American Task Force on Lebanon send out a press release expressing "support for Lebanon" and condemning the "assault on Lebanese sovereignty, stability and security."  They call for merely "minimiz[ing] civilian casualties." And to top it off, in the same press release they manage to do away with the right of return - asking instead for the refugee camps to be made into nicer places to live.

And the Palestinian refugees, expelled by Israel and already facing horrific conditions in Lebanon, are left to fend for themselves.

Here is info on the Nahr el Bared Relief Campaign.  Here is an insightful interview with As'ad Abukhalil.

It's really disgusting - the Lebanese think they are justified doing to Palestinians just what Israelis were doing to them last year. People never learn, do they?
