Beirut, Lebanon : Oil Spill & Wildlife Damage

On July 15, Israeli jets bombed a Beirut power station. It also deliberately included an oil storage tank that held 15,0000 tons of heavy oil that ran the station. The tank was located within spilling distance of Beirut's famous beaches. Well the normally azure Mediterranean water is now black anf filled with the foul oil. The viscous oil has also settled into the sand beneath the waves and saturated the shoreline. Birds, turtles, shellfish and fish which are the valuable staples to Lebanon's economy are dead and continue to die. The oil slick is now 90 miles long and on its way to Syria and Turkey. Who is served by this barbaric act of Israeli rage? Why did Israel kill over 1000 civilians? Why did Israel obliterate Lebanon's infrastructure? Hezbollah would not be affected by this wanton disproportianate destruction.

These Israeli actions amount to war crimes and constructive genocide. Israel's future is tied to its character. Based on recent events in Lebanon Israel future is appropriately and deservedly grim.
