Among Christians and other students of the New Testament, Cana is best known as the place where, according to the Fourth Gospel, Jesus performed his first miracle, the turning of a large quantity of water into wine at a wedding feast (John 2:1-11) when the wine provided by the bridegroom had run out. None of the synoptic gospels record this event, but in John's gospel it has considerable symbolic importance: it is the first of the seven miraculous "signs" by which Jesus's divine status is attested, and around which the gospel is structured.

ZAZOU you are great. I love Jesus and I hate Israel and I am proud to say that I am anti - Israely .
Anyone who did see what happened today in QANA will be anti- Israely.
Sorry that Adolf Hitler did not complete his work and made a real HOLOCAUST - since I don't beleive like many others that there was anything called HOLOCAUST against them.

Qana is a village located southeast of Tyre, Southern Lebanon. It has been the location of two separate incidents in which the Israeli Defense Forces caused civilian deaths during military operations (Operation Grapes of Wrath and the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict):
1996 shelling of Qana - On April 18, 1996, amid heavy fighting between the Israeli Defense Forces and Hezbollah during "Operation Grapes of Wrath", a Fijian UNIFIL compound in the village was shelled by Israeli artillery, killing 106 civilians and injuring around 116 others who had taken refuge there to escape the fighting. Four UNIFIL soldiers were also seriously injured.
2006 Qana airstrike - On the 30 July 2006, a double airstrike on the town that Israel claimed had been frequented by mobile rocket units, killed at least 54 (including 34-37 children) and injured many others when an apartment building collapsed.
The town is a candidate as the location where the Marriage at Cana in which Jesus performed his first miracle.
********************************
BY THE WAY~~~~~~
Why are you saying shame on those who are Pro Isreal??
If you were a true believer in the things Jesus represted and in him- Then you would be pro-EVERYBODY !!! Including those people of Israel. And you would only wish the blessing of them coming to see thier ways.
By what you make it sound like , you are Anti-Israel...
That is NOT Christlike....
PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH

See 1876 map from blueletterbible website
Khirbet (ruin of) Cana - a site in the Galilee, 8 miles northwest of Nazareth and 12 miles west of the Sea of Galilee, which seems the most likely "candidate" in the quest for the true location of Cana.
Recent archaeological evidence points to it as the location of the biblical town mentioned in the Gospel of John (John 2: 1-11) where Jesus, attending a marriage feast with his mother and his disciples turned water into wine. The preliminary findings support this theory: thus, for instance, some 25% of the plentiful pottery uncovered here stems from the late Hellenistic and early Roman, and 50% from the Byzantine Period.
The site is being excavated by a team of archaeologists under the direction of Professor Douglas R. Edwards of the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington. According to Prof. Edwards, this spot, on the north side of an important trade route, the Bet Netofa Valley, was a destination for pilgrims already as early as the 5th century CE, and the amount of imported pottery indicates the possibility that these pilgrims came in large numbers.
"Cana and its environs represent an intriguing location," states Edwards. "It had a long time religious association as the site where Jesus turned water into wine. It became one of the villages settled by one of the Jewish priestly families after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. And it lies along an east-west thoroughfare, at least through the Byzantine Period. The historical periods for Galilee generally receive little attention, in large measure because of the plethora of literary evidence. But texts provide only a small window into the very complex societies of which they were a part."
Why were children murdered in Qana in Southern Lebanon?
Hezbollah gains from maximizing civilian casualties on BOTH the Israeli and Lebanese sides.
Hezbollah maximizes Israeli civilian casualties when they launch Syrian and Iranian designed antipersonnel missiles with ball-bearing shrapnel. Furthermore, in Lebanon, Hezbollah deliberately operates military wings out of densely populated areas to maximize Lebanese casualties and gain media attention through gruesome pictures of maimed children
IDF video clips available on MFA website
The footage shows Hizbullah's firing of rockets from Kafr Qana and behind buildings, and the use of civilians as human shields:
--Hizbullah missile fire from within the village of Kafr Qana
-- Hizbullah firing rockets from behind buildings
-- Hizbullah use of civilian shields

it symbolizes the horrible waste of war, the tragedy of death of innocents and the disgrace a nation should feel when its fighters let civilians huddle in areas known for their military utility. good going hezbollah...group the refugees near your military targets and then feign shock when they get killed.
