The damage Israel continues to wreak on Lebanon through airstrikes has led to an environmental crisis . Israel bombed the Jiyyeh power station between July 13th and the 15th creating an oil slick that covers 50 miles of coast:
"Almost as much oil may have entered the water as during the 1989 Exxon Valdez tanker incident in Alaska...Initial reports indicated that 10,000 tonnes of heavy fuel oil had escaped from damaged tanks, but the eventual total could be 35,000 tonnes...spillage from the Exxon Valdez accident totalled just under 40,000 tonnes of crude oil."
"The slick could compromise livelihoods when the current conflict ends" due to the effects on fishing.
How is bombing a power plant that Lebanese civilians use even remotely related to Hezbollah if thats what Israel is suppose to be targeting there? This is truly a travesty that Israel needs to end NOW!

First of all Lax, maybe you don't comprehend what Israel stands for and what it is. It is a Jewish State. Yes it's been a while since the holocaust, and it's been over 200 years since Jews have been assimilating into the mainstream culture of the west, but you seem to forget that for nearly 2000 years, the Jewish people, as a civilization have existed seperatly from the rest of the world, and have been repeatedly attacked, persecuted and treated as second-class, subhuman people all because we are different. Well guess what, Israel changed this. Now Jews no longer hide, they fight, and not only do they fight, they win. Any country has the right to protect itself against an enemy that has openly proclaimed to WIPE IT OFF THE MAP. Does this not strike a chord with you? Where will you go if all of the sudden a wave of anti-semitism rises here in the United States? Where will the Jews beable to go for refuge? Israel. Israel is the beacon of the Jewish people, and if you can't understand that then you're lost.
There are casualties in War. What the media and many people over look is that those civilians dying at the hands of Israeli's are BY ACCIDENT. The Israeli casualties ARE ON PURPOSE BECAUSE 3000 MISSILES ARE BEING LAUNCHED WITH NO DIRECTION INTO CIVILIAN AREAS FOR ONE PURPOSE: TO KILL JEWS. See the difference?
