Heroes are born, Salute !
I would like to draw the attention of the readers to a point that seems to have been overlooked.
It's true that there is a war raging in the south of lebanon, it is true that civilians are dying.
But it is equally true that there are HEROES being made each and every hour of the day (and night).
A big thank you for those discret heroes, the Lebanese Red Cross Volunteers, who risk their lives every day, to save others', and to bring hope (no matter how small), to the people trapped in this war.
Those people are all volunteers, they don't get a single cent for what they're doing. I should know, I'm an international red cross member.
Their ambulances are exposed to fire from both sides, and many ambulances have already been hit.
Ironically enough, one ambulance got hit on the roof right in the midlle of the red cross sign, by an israeli fighter jet.
You guys are the bravest, you are our guarding angels, your hearts are bigger than all the bombs and all the misery..
To those guardian angels, thank you for being there, and god speed.
A thing that should NEVER happen again:
UPDATE 1 : A Lebanese Red Cross Member suffered martyrdom on August 11th, in the Israeli airstrike that hit the Marjayun convoy.......

I join you in saluting them. And a note about ambulances being hit. I wish ambulances and any emergency vehicles could have immunity, but Israel has had some bad experiences in that regard. In the territories, the Palestinians have often used ambulances to transfer bombs intended for use on suicide bombers. We have learnt the hard way, that even an ambulance rushing along with sirens and red lights doesn't mean it's not used for fighting.
It's sad when people don't respect the sanctiry of medical vehicles :(
The ambulance picture is a hoax. Google for it and you'll see for yourself. Please check your sources before posting.
