"In this case [beeper attack on Hezbollah terrorists] I don't think you have any better example in modern warfare of a more surgical and precise attack against combatants and combatants only"

"Had the terrorist attack witnessed in Lebanon in the past 48 hours occurred in Europe, Western media would be following victims, telling the story of the boy who lost an eye, a girl who lost her life...but these are only brown people, so they celebrate Israel's ingenuity. Repulsive." --Mona Fawaz
