Al-Fakhoura School Bombed, 42 Killed, Including Children; 13,000 Homeless Water, Medicine in Short Supply
Informed Comment —
In 1996, Israeli jets bombed a UN building where civilians had taken refuge at Cana/ Qana in south Lebanon, killing 102 persons; in the place where Jesus is said to have made water into wine, Israeli bombs made children into blood.

He immediately wrote out a martyrdom will, pledging to die avenging the innocent victims, killed with airplanes and bombs that were a free gift from the United States. His name was Muhammad Atta.

In 1996, Israeli jets bombed a UN building where civilians had taken refuge at Cana/ Qana in south ...

The New York Times ' David Rohde writes about the seven months he was held hostage by a group of extremist Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan and conveys this observation about what motivates them: My captors harbored many delusions about Westerners. But I also saw how some of the consequences of Washington's antiterrorism policies had galvanized the Taliban. Commanders fixated on the deaths of Afghan, Iraqi and Palestinian civilians in military airstrikes , as well as the American detention of Muslim prisoners who had been held for years without being charged . Apparently, when we drop bombs on Muslim countries -- or when Israel attacks Palestinians -- that fuels ...
