Disproportionate

A BBC video from inside the Shia section of southern Beirut.

From the NYTimes tonight/tomorrow:

TYRE, Lebanon, July 20 — Carpenters are running out of wood for coffins. Bodies are stacked three or four high in a truck at the local hospital morgue. The stench is spreading in the rubble.

The morbid reality of Israel’s bombing campaign of the south is reaching almost every corner of this city. Just a few miles from the Rest House hotel, where the United Nations was evacuating civilians on Thursday, wild dogs gnawed at the charred remains of a family bombed as they were trying to escape the village of Hosh, officials said.

And, just as an ironic reminder that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, the Israelis plan to celebrate their July 22, 1946 terror bombing against the British which killed 92 at the King David Hotel.
