US support for Israel no longer justified

UNITED NATIONS, July 30 (Reuters) Syria today said that the United States could no longer justify its support for Israeli military action in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories after Israel's air strike on the Lebanese village of Qana that killed 54 civilians.

''These bombs...are American bombs,'' said Syrian UN Ambassador Bashar Jaafari. ''They call them laser-guided bombs but actually they are hatred-guided bombs, and unfortunately these bombs are made in the USA.'' Speaking to reporters outside the UN Security Council as it prepared to meet in emergency session, Jaafari referred to the attack as ''this Israeli Holocaust.'' REUTERS SKU PM2132
