Lebanon’s health minister has said what is happening in his country is “carnage”, as hospitals struggle to cope with the number of casualties from two days of widespread Israeli air strikes targeting the armed group Hezbollah.

Dr Firass Abiad told the BBC it was “clear” that many of the 550 people killed in Monday’s attacks were civilians, including children and women.

    Sorry for the late response. Disasters happen!

    I will not vote for the democrats and no argument will convince me.

    I do want to participate in the electoral system and am not forced to vote for people or parties I have no interest in.

    You aren’t going to convince anyone with the most important election rhetoric. If a person isn’t already saying it along with you then they’ll be driven away by those words.

    I’m not throwing away my vote. It’ll be counted just like all the others. I know this from being involved in the process of elections.

    I’m not concerned with what the fascist want.

    If the democrats want my vote they can adopt a platform I support, actively pursue it to some real material ends and maybe I’ll cast a ballot for them in two years or four years.
