Are these the same "farm workers"? Were the loading trucks or picking peaches? There is a difference, I think, even when Arabs do it.

---Israeli warplanes attacked four bridges in largely Christian areas north of Beirut on Friday and hit a farm in the Bekaa Valley near the Syrian border, killing 33 workers who were loading fruit onto trucks.---

Looks like they have the same problem with produce pickers who ignore borders as we do.

Or is this the real story?

---Ali Yaghi, a Lebanese civil defense official at the scene, said at least 23 people were killed.

The Israeli army said it had attacked two buildings where it suspected weapons were being stored, and it was checking reports that it had hit a vegetable storehouse and civilians.

Yaghi said at least 11 workers were wounded and some likely were buried under rubble. A bulldozer was brought to the site to try to uncover survivors, he said.---

The Moozies think you're stupid. There is no reason to believe they were "innocents."

An Israeli air raid on a farm near the village of Qaa in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley on Friday killed at least 33 farm workers while they were picking peaches

Depends on what the meaning of "peaches" is.

I was watching a newsclip on Fox News this a.m. that was supposed to be the funeral procession in Syria of these farm workers killed in Lebanon...

People were hauling these caskets and were surrounded by what was claimed to be thousands of mourners...

The camera shot came from an elevated position looking down onto the crowd...

The lids on these wooden caskets must be loose since one of the lids had slipped back and you could see into one end of that casket...

I'd say the casket was empty...

Just an observation to ponder...

Picking fruit in the middle of a war zone? Nonsense.

If there are any pictures of the bombed "parking lot" or whatever it was, I still haven't seen them. Just ain't the same photographic interest when there are no children's bodies to parade around. Plus I'll bet a picture would show that it's built over some kind of structure / bunker.

I bet they were picking fruit for the baby food factory.

"Innocent Syrian]Fruit pickers killed in [Israeli] raid buried"

"Syrian Fruit pickers"?
Hah Hah!
Doing the fruit picking that the Lebanese won't do I take it?
And these "fruit pickers" wouldn't by chance have anything to do with resupplying Hizbullah with fresh new weapons, no?

[Innocent Syrian]Fruit pickers killed in [Israeli] raid buried (US gets part of the blame)

Where do the American and Jew hating journalists and other "piss headed" world renowned "writers" come up with all this B.S. and "nary" a word about the other side of the commode they reside in and report from?

well, I know some Sudanese Christian refugees who worked in Syria picking crops before finally coming here...they have told me of the horrors many times. The UNHCR sent them there to be virtual slaves for the Syrians.

One more reason the UN should be disbanded.
