And the world keeps quiet, Hypocrisy at its best

Another sleepless night went by. Oh well, I got used to this already. I went volunteering in Metulla's war headquarter again between 12pm and 2pm. Six Katyusha missiles fell in two parts of Metulla while I was there and so we were calling the residents of those neighborhoods in order to see that they're all ok. This is only something that can be done in a town as small as Metulla, with about 1,500 redisents. I would say only about 15%-20% of residents are still here.
I wanted and try and catch up on some sleep in the afternoon. I didn't even get to sleep for 20 minutes before the siren went off. It went of 7 times in less than an hour. The cannons were shelling and the katyushas were shelling too. My mom and I were watching the news reporting from Kiryat Shmona - We could hear the launching of the katyushas from Lebanon and then see them hitting Kiryat Shmona live. What a terrible reality.
8 civilians were killed today by Katyusha missiles. 3 soldiers were killed today in the fighting inside southern Lebanon.
As I'm writing these lines I am listening to the beautiful sounds of our 4 parrots and the usual explosions. Up until May 24th 2000 we were so used to the sounds of helicopters and F-16s flying over our house. The next day it got quiet. So quiet we were not used to it. The Marj Ayun Valley which is viewed by my house got filled with cars driving around with Hezbollah flags on them. This is war is a consequence of 6 years of the self arming of Hezbollah with the wonderful help of Syria and Iran. Israel left Lebanon completely, but it was not enough for them.
It was lovely to read today that Iran's beloved president, Ahmadinejad, saying that the only solution to this war is the destruction of Israel.
Quoting from Ynetnews:


"Although the main solution is for the elimination of the Zionist regime, at this stage an immediate ceasefire must be implemented" Ahmadinejad said.


If the world keeps quiet after such words we are truly not far from a second holocaust.

New data regarding the incident in Qana village was released today. It apears that 28 civilians died there (16 kids out of the 28) and not over 60 civilians like reported at first. This bloger has been bringing up interesting questions on what really happened there.
Hezbollah carying for the Lebanese people... by using them as human sheild.
