Kyra (CNN) anchor just asked this World Food Org. Coordinator

[Skidmore]

about people being so hungry in Lebanon that they are eating the dead. Just caught this question. Don't know if he is a journalist or not. She asked him specifically whether he could confirm this and he really didn't say yeah or nay.

1. I pray that is not the case. Could it have ....

gotten that bad so quickly.

[Skidmore]

2. There was a crawl on the screen while they were speaking that

it was believed that Lebanon only had 1-3 months food supply. Pray God it is not so, but if enough food supplies were destroyed, it may be the case. I was shocked by the question. It took my breath away.

8. Food is as much or more a question of distribution as it is supply

The IDF has been destroying roads, bridges, airports, seaports, and other infrastructure. Food distribution (in the era of "just in time") can't help but have suffered.

3. Don't you get it????

She's a government shill -- always has been. She's trying to get the Lebanese labled "cannibals" in the small, unquestioning minds of most Americans, because it will make them seem less human to America and therefore, less deserving of humane treatment. The won't just be killing civilians any longer, they'll be killing cannibals. How far a leap is that thinking to "They're better off dead"????

I think it's a disgusting and cynical ploy. All that's needed there is a ceasefire, and a shipment of some food and clean water. These are our fellow human beings!

4. Ya know, I don't know what to think. If it's a ploy, it is disgustingly

evil and, if it's the truth, its tragic and the reason for it to be true is disgustingly evil. Either way, these people have been stripped of their dignity and objectified.

5. Resorting to eating the dead would garner them more sympathy, not less.

6. Isn't Kyra Muslim? or at least her Husband is

Not that makes her any less of a shrill. Most of the time I could jump through my TV and strangle her, shes one of the reasons I no longer watch CNN.

That and the former ceo of CNN is from FOX

7. I really doubt this.

Eating cats, dogs, rats, birds, eventually, but not eating their dead since there is still food around. Sounds like media bs. Unless talking about people trapped under rubble for days, but then the problem would be water, not food anyways.

[TheDebbieDee]

9. You know, that makes a lot of sense, Uppity.......

I'm sure they couldn't have eaten all the dogs and cats in Lebanon in the last two weeks.

I'm with you. Reports of cannibalism in Lebanon is Bull$hit!
