Dear Editor,

According to your news reports, Lebanon is suffering horribly from Israeli air-strikes, on the verge of humanitarian crises, desperate and pleading
for a cease-fire. They are finally offered that cease fire. Their
response: immediate rejection followed by a list of conditions. What does that suggest about the accuracy and completeness of your reporting?

Just because Lebanon rejects a ceasefire doesn't mean that there isn't suffering.

Thanks for your response but why wouldn't they then accept an immediate
cease fire if it would immediately end suffering? Perhaps your staff
could investigate this.
