This came after Qana massacre, including 22 children taking refuge in the building. Lebanon prime minister cancelled Rice visit to beirut until there is ceasefire.
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, speaking after the Israeli bombing of the Lebanese village of Qana, said it was time for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hizbollah guerrillas.
She said she was saddened by the bombing and confirmed that she had canceled a planned trip to Beirut, but would stay in Israel to try to work out a deal for ending the 19-day-old conflict.
Re: Rice calls for immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
Israel says they will not have a ceasefire, until they fulfill their objectives in Lebanon. They don't care about innocent lives on both sides, Hezbollah has been firing missiles, but after Israel invaded, so a ceasefire would certainly stop the attacks from both sides.
Re: Rice calls for immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
Condi Rice looked pretty shaken in the news conference after the massacre, straining to not upset her hosts too much, but aware of how the world would see any non-condemnation of Israel. America is being dragged down by Israel, and more damage has been done to it's reuputation/interests in the region in the last 3 weeks than has been done in the last 3 years.
Re: Rice calls for immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
That stupid b*H should be shot in front of a firing squad. Cease fire my A. There should be NO cease fire until Hezbollah kills just as many innocent Israelis as those disgusting, putrid Israeli terrorist pigs have killed in Lebanon. Only then will those Israeli butchers think twice before initiating another genocide. An eye for an eye baby. Go Hiz!
Re: Rice calls for immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
There is a reason why an idiot woman has been made a puppet for this role. The smarter ones resigned long time ago.
U.S is playing a pathetic role in this conflict. What Israel has done in the name of two soldiers is not justified even in the eyes of blind and dumb. This is how you want to handle the 'root cause'? Well, keep dreaming...Israel won't be a safer place after this conflict in Lebanon is over.
Re: Rice calls for immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
Yeah there should be no ceasefire. In fact any Arab leader asking for ceasefire should be shot as well. This way we all can sit in our comfee basements while people will lose their limbs, lives, and property. Yes. Go Hizbiz, Go Israelis!
Re: Rice calls for immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
Israel wanted this; United States did not as they already bogged down in Iraq and now have to decide on leaving that place too. Israel has pushed its button of destruction, there is no going back, there was no support for this country before and after this there would never be. It is the end of Israel as we see it and Americans will the pay the price for supporting a terrorist regime.
Re: Rice calls for immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
No, because Israel has brought this conflict to what it has become, not Hizbollah. I would not condemn it, I would simply call it even. This is the only way those filthy Israeli terrorists will understand, when the civilian count is even.
10000 would be a decent number as payback for all the innocent lives those disgusting Israeli terrorists have destroyed in the past.
