BEIRUT, Lebanon - The U.N.'s top humanitarian official on Sunday denounced the Israeli airstrikes that have devastated Beirut and southern Lebanon, saying civilians were paying a "disproportionate price" in the attacks targeting Hezbollah strongholds.
"It's terrible. I see a lot of children wounded, homeless, suffering. This is a war where civilians pay a disproportionate price in Lebanon and northern Israel. I hadn't believed it would be block by block leveled to the ground," he said.
"A disproportionate response by Israel is a violation of international humanitarian law."

I never believed in the plot (almo'amara) that many of us we lebanese used in order to relieve ourselves of blame and guilt.
This time though, it is very different. There is a plot brewed.
Monsters indeed. And worse, insolent and insulting ones.
