Lebanon: Destroying the Coast

(Photo from BloggingBeirut.com; posted by finkployd)

About 10,000 tons of oil from the tanks of the Jiyeh power plant bombed by Israeli aircraft now pollute about 40 miles of the Lebanese coast threatening to affect the entire coast extending onto the Syrian coast and beyond. Another report states that the spill now extends 60 miles. Enviromental groups agree that this is the largest enviromental disaster that Lebanon has faced.

The New York Times also reports on the severe air pollution and forest fires caused by Israel's unrelenting bombing campaign.

Yet more convincing evidence that the Israeli government's intention was not the destruction of the whole of Lebanon, just Hezbollah.

Just appalling. The Israeli airforce is either completely demented or completely blinded by hate.

There is no rational explanation for picking such targets except that they are soft targets.
