Israel Attacks Lebanon (12 July 2006-)
International Reaction & Protest
The UN's Emergency Relief Co-ordinator Jan Egeland has condemned Israel's "disproportionate response" to the capture of two of its soldiers as a "violation of international humanitarian law," while UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour has found that "A large and steadily increasing number of persons have been forcibly displaced. The most basic human rights of the population are at risk or are being violated, including their rights to life, health and food." Despite such warnings, the US once again uses its veto in the UN Security Council to protect Israeli interests. However, citizens of conscience the world over are pouring into the streets to make known their objections to Israel's campaign of collective punishment and destruction in Lebanon.
