"They put their own children there in the express hope that Israel would then kill them."

It's by no means clear that Israeli forces actually did kill them. It seems that the Israeli attack that dropped bombs near this building occurred at about 2AM, and the explosion that brought the building down was about 7AM.

If it wasn't an Israeli bomb, what was it? Could it have been a Hizbollah controlled demolition?

I for one would not put it past them to do just that.

Moreover, if there was, as it seems a six hour period between the Israeli acctack and the collapse of the building, why were there still people inside? Were they kept there?

Industrial accident or acting out the Loony Tunes 911 WTC conspiracy theory in real life?

Were most of the children girls? How many families were affected? IOW, do the kids all match up w/ adults or were some orphans made to be useful to the cause?

I read that, too. I also wonder if these children were Lebanese muslims or Christians. Or foreigners that were trapped.

I have to be skeptical of this, if only because many Muslims/Arabs accused the U.S of the same thing with respect to 9/11.
