Lebanese PM: 300 Dead During Onslaught Quote:
Lebanon's prime minister said Wednesday that 300 people have been killed, 1,000 have been wounded and a half-million displaced in Israel's week-old onslaught on Lebanon.
Prime Minister Fuad Saniora said he would seek compensation from Israel for the ``unimaginable losses'' to the nation's infrastructure and he appealed for an end to hostilities on a humanitarian basis.
In a swipe at the international community, particularly the United States, which said Israel was acting in self-defense, Saniora said: ``Is this what the international community calls the right of self-defense? Is this the price to pay?''
| All the fevered rhetoric doesn't change the facts. The Israeli attack on Lebanon has been brutal and indiscriminate.
