Lebanon’s health minister has said what is happening in his country is “carnage”, as hospitals struggle to cope with the number of casualties from two days of widespread Israeli air strikes targeting the armed group Hezbollah.

Dr Firass Abiad told the BBC it was “clear” that many of the 550 people killed in Monday’s attacks were civilians, including children and women.

    The circular part is where you wonder why nobody is doing anything to help Palestinians.

    I’ll give you a hint: after the election, pollsters will ask people who voted what the most important issues are to them. Since people like you aren’t voting, very few voters will answer “helping Palestinians”. Politicians will look at those polls and simply maintain the status quo regarding Palestine, since voters have little appetite for change. And the status quo is sending arms to Israel.

    Again and again, the left shoots itself in the foot.
