Thanks, Israel.  Now we see how you define self-defense; that is, the kind of indiscriminate bombing that targets civilians and civlian infrastructure and leaves the terrorists stronger and more popular than ever.  And let’s not mention the ecological disaster you created:

Lebanon’s coastline could take up to 10 years to recover from a massive oil spill, the nation’s environment minister has said.

Marine experts have warned the spill could pose a cancer risk to people living in the affected areas.

The oil slick caused by Israeli bombing of a power station now covers 120km (75 miles) of the region’s coasts.

Mr Sarraf said the delay had already severely affected the Lebanese shores.

“The damage has been done. It goes without saying that the whole fishing community will be hit for at least two or three years before the ecosystem re-establishes itself,” he told BBC News.

“The tourism sector has also been hit for one or two seasons, and I am being very optimistic.

“But worse, if we do not intervene as soon as possible, the spill that is still floating off the coast of Lebanon could return and hit the shores again.”
