Proceeding contribution from Lord Monson (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8: 2006 Summit.
G8: 2006 Summit
My Lords, would Her Majesty's Government quietly urge the Israelis to be more careful and selective in their retaliation against Hezbollah? Killing more than 200 civilians, only a small proportion of whom are Hezbollah supporters and a high proportion of whom are children, and causing hundreds of millions of pounds of damage to the Lebanese infrastructure which was so laboriously built up after the long years of civil war, is hardly likely to win friends for the West or to lead to a long-term peaceful settlement.
