It's evidence of Israel's brutality. They obviously want to scare the UN from ever coming back to that border, having decided that US or NATO troops would be more pro-Israeli. But we didn't need evidence of Israel's brutality. The last 60 years have given us enough of that. To me, it's evidence that the current leadership of the military junta is even further disconnected from the world than ever before. Obviously, this is a huge PR coup for opponents of Israel, since Qana is the site of one of that rarest breed of Israeli war crimes: the kind that got global public attention: informationclearinghouse.info Tom

"Israel is not unique, far from it, though it is in a darker place, and has been for some time, than “we” in the West can fully appreciate. It is a mirror of what our own societies are capable of, despite our democratic values. It shows how a cult of victimhood makes one heartless and cruel, and how racism can be repackaged as civilised values." zmag.org The lies Israel tells itself (and we tell on its behalf) by Jonathan Cook
