Israeli air strikes resume in Lebanon. ⇒

This is less then 12 hours after they said they'd stop. They were going to stop because apparently everyone found the bombing of Qana disagreeable. Israel's government can take heart in knowing that it has been shown that excessive violence always turns people away from supporting guerrilla groups; one need only look to Viet Nam, Ceylon, Chechnya ... Update: I missed a MetaFilter thread on what happened in Quna.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
