Lebanon says No Talks

As Sioniora tries to portray Israel as targeting civilians, it is good to see Israel not giving in, but pointing out the truth about how the jihadists try to provoke civilian deaths. From [1] AFP, with thanks to JE:

Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora has refused to meet US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice until a ceasefire is in place, after an Israeli bombing in southern Lebanon killed at least 51 civilians, many of them children.

Israel rejected responsibility for civilian deaths in the village of Qana, saying Hezbollah was to blame. An Israeli army spokesman alleged Hezbollah had used the village as a base from which to launch rockets. He said the Israeli military had warned residents for several days to leave the area.
