A third of casualties in Lebanon are children, says UN relief chief
"The people I contact in Lebanon say it is closer to 45% of the casualties are children," she said. "Lebanese families are quite big, so when you bomb a house, you get children."

6. Let's REMEMBER this and show our disdain at the ballot box ...
Personally I will do my best to finance anyone who runs against these warmongers on the Democratic ticket. It's not about Israel, it's to help stop the WAR MACHINE. :grr:
