Go to un.org and check it out.....Qatar is on the Security Council, they are slated to be President in December. Syria was on the SC in 2003.
In fact, the ONLY UN member nation NOT allowed to serve on the SC is Israel.
CBC's timeline - July 12 - Hezbolah conducts a raid into Israel - killing 7, wounding 8 and capturing 2 soldiers. (for whatever reason - solidarity with Hamas, because Iran told them to, to prove they could do it)
Israel targets roads & bridges in S. Lebanon to prevent the kiddnappers from taking their hostage out of Lebanon
Israel sends in troops to look for the soldiers (Lanny's snatch & grab)
July 13 - Hezbolah responds with katushya rockets
AAAANNNNNDDDD......things escalate from there.
BTW spiteface - don't try to take the moral high ground because you have friends and relatives in Lebanon who are fleeing - I am sure that a few psoters here could claim the same, either in Lebanon or Israel. We could go back and forth all day.
Unless you are editing all the western news footage, your claim regarding the images from the area is just (as your posting name implys) spitefull and is not an anti-Israel statement. Wether you are implying that the Israelis are not suffering any damage or losses or that the Israelis are trying to elicit sympathy with a single image while the Lebanese images are multipule and therefore more truthful, the claim boarders on amti-semitisim.
The images from the area on the net & TV are generally current with the papers lagging a bit behind.
