"It was, our journalists told us, to be the greatest evacuation since Dunkirk. There it was again, the Second World War. And it was another cruel lie which the Lebanese spotted at once. For these mighty craft had not arrived to save Lebanon, to protect a nation now being destroyed by America's ally, Israel, Lebanon whose newly flourishing democracy was hailed by our leaders last year as a rose amid the dictatorships of the Arab world. No, they were creeping through the dawn after asking Israel's permission to help their citizens to flee. These great warships had been sent here by Western leaders (Jacques Chirac excepted) too craven, too gutless, too immoral, to utter a single word of compassion for Lebanon's suffering."

Israel told the Lebanese in the South to leave, and is planning to invade the south , and reports coming in say that they have already captured locations in South Lebanon...
They will probably blast it to even tinier smithereens.

Thanks for the 'humanitarian' warning, it's great when you tell people to run for their lives before you bomb their homes, their schools, their workplaces and their towns and their memories and everything they own... Also, it's pretty great to do that after you have already bombed all the roads, bridges and exits out of the area.

The Lebanese are increasingly terrified that once the foreigners have left the country there will be nothing to restrain Israel from going all out and turning Lebanon to dust and ashes..
A British woman being evacuated yesterday said that everyone she knows thinks that there will be a bloodbath once the American and European citizens have left.
