I'm not going to comment on the issue of the IAF airstrike on Qana. The positions on both sides have been articulated for all to read. The Lebanese Prime Minister denounced the attack as a war crime. The IDF says the villagers had been warned to evacuate; that it had already been attacked for the last three days and that Katyushas were being fired from it and so they fired back. But all the leafelets in the world can be dropped and the death of civilians still be a near-inevitability. A BBC correspondent says something which is probably true: "many did not have the means - or were too frightened - to flee."
