On the 30th of July 2006, a massacre was perpetrated at the village of Qana in southern Lebanon. More than 60 people were killed, more than half of whom were children, when Israeli warplanes bombed the village of Qana triggering global outrage and warnings of retribution for a "war crime" by world public opinion. The gravity of the crime at Qana however, was filtered down by the world's media after the massacre, following concerted rounds of misinformation propelled by certain political leaders who wished to justify acts of Israeli terrorism against innocent civilians.
