Israeli lawyers sue Lebanon for damages

Israeli lawyers want to sue Lebanon for the damage done to northern Israel. You know that among Israel's sick society (86% of them support what's being done in Lebanon, remember) you're still going to find lawyers that are even sicker. I guess lawyers are lawyers everywhere.

Perhaps a settlement can be arranged, each side pays for the damage done to the other?

Actually this brings up a good point: Lebanon is bound to get aid money for reconstruction. And who will be paying for Israel's war (and already is paysing for it)? The American taxpayer, that's who.

Bizarre and gimmicky. They'd better not get too deep into that logic or else Lebanese civilians whose houses have been destroyed and the owners of all those milk factories may return the favour.

The irony of having bombs paid with their own taxes raining down on them has not escaped American journos and evacuees in Lebanon...

"Sick societIES". Do you think the words like of Maronite King Nasrallah Sfeir I. from Beirut that suicide bombings are a "natural act of resistance" are healthy? Do you think palestinian polls look healthier?

They both suffer. And they both don't need outsiders that heat up the conflict.
