UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - US Ambassador John Bolton said there was no moral equivalence between the civilian casualties from the Israeli raids in Lebanon and those killed in Israael from "malicious terrorist acts".
Asked to comment on the deaths in an Israeli air strike of eight Canadian citizens in southern Lebanon Sunday, he said: "it is a matter of great concern to us ...that these civilian deaths are occurring. It's a tragedy."
"I think it would be a mistake to ascribe moral equivalence to civilians who die as the direct result of malicious terrorist acts," he added, while defending as "self-defense" Israel's military action, which has had "the tragic and unfortunate consequence of civilian deaths".
The eight dead Canadians were a Lebanese-Canadian couple, their four children, his mother and an uncle, said relatives in Montreal.
The Montreal pharmacist and his family had arrived in Lebanon 10 days earlier for a vacation in his parents' home village and to introduce his children to relatives, they said.
Three of his Lebanese relatives died too, a family member told AFP.
"It's simply not the same thing to say that it's the same act to deliberately target innocent civilians, to desire their deaths, to fire rockets and use explosive devices or kidnapping versus the sad and highly unfortunate consequences of self-defense," Bolton noted.
The overall civilian death toll from the Israeli onslaught in Lebanon since last Wednesday reached 195, in addition to 12 soldiers, officials said. Twenty-four Israelis have also been killed since fighting began last Wednesday, including 12 civilians in a barrage of Hezbollah rocket fire across the border.

I always forget what the exchange rate is. 1000 lebanese lives are worth 1 israeli fingernail, or something like that.

If these people are just going to be bombed to death, then they should die fighting, trying to kill as many kikes as they can. All ME countries who sit idle while their neighbors are murdered by the kikes are nothing but filthy, cowardly scumbags, as far as I am concerned. They have to know that eventually that they all will be targeted, and they just sit there, waiting for it to happen.

Have to agree there. If they all raided israhell at the same time it would be done and over. But if that happened it would be white men who have fallen behind in the fight.

What do you expect from a guy who looks like he's better qualified running the photo-mat at the local wal-mart?

Oh, please. You rain bombs down on a city, you know damn well, you are going to kill civilians and you do it anyway. How is there no "moral equivalence":rolleyes:

I am going to guess they realize they are outmatched and they are trying to provoke some anger among the larger Muslim world.
