More Nonsense about Hezbollah Photos

Make sure to go read the whole post now...

What do these photos show? When you look at their attire, you notice a couple of things. One isn't their sartorial splendor. It's that they look like anyone else in Lebanon. They blend in perfectly with anyone else walking around in that neighborhood, so if Israelis hit this particular heavy weapons position, the news report will claim that there were only seven or eight civilians hit - on the basis of the appearance of the clothes. The facts are substantially different. It would show that seven or eight Hizbullah terrorists were eliminated in a raid that successfully took out a heavy weapons position.

Okay, now someone want to explain to me how clothes would survice and huge weapon systems would be obliterated from the scene?

They show Hizbullah terrorists operating a heavy caliber machine gun in the middle of a densly populated area. Let's not forget that Hizbullah has had six years to prepare for this conflict, and knows the terrain well, and blends in perfectly with the civilian population, so that accurate counts of civilian casualties is simply impossible.

I got it, someone must have waded through the blood and guts and took the AK-47's out of the hands of those dead children...

These arguments border on ridiculous. The Israelis blew up some children. Did they do it deliberately? I am certain they did not, but all this bullshit justifying it is turning my stomach. It's a war, in war mistakes are made. ON BOTH SIDES. The true test of morality is whether one accepts their mistakes, makes ammends for them and makes every effort NOT to repeat them. This justification of Israeli carelessness does nothing to encourage that morality.

Israel is suppossed to be BETTER than Hezbollah...

The photos- typical. It's the media manipulation done exactly for people who have a tendency to react to this stuff. It has been practiced and mastered.

Did you catch this yet?

I'm sure I'll get blasted by your other readers, but it's just so typical. The propaganda war continues.

By the way- go read Jay Tea's post on the difference between Israel and Hizbollah.

Clear.

Well done propaganda film.

Ah. When one side is given, it is the truth. When the side you are more skeptical of is given- it's propaganda.

One question- (stolen from Richard Engel of NBC News.) Where were all the men? Why only women and children in that particular building in an area where the Israelis received rocket fire from? And which side is more prone to use human shields (you know- preventing the people leaving or their own safety?)

And why so many more casualties in Lebanon than in Israel? Oh wait- that's easy to answer. Because every building in Israel has a bomb shelter, just in case somebody begins firing rockets indiscriminately into civilan areas. Now who in this case is deliberately firing rockets into civilian areas?

When one side mistakenly kills civilians, it's a tragedy and they take a time out to investigate. When the other side deliberately kills civilians, it is a great victory celebrated with joy and dancing in the streets.

And you think "the right" has blinders on. Well at least you acknowledge that Israel didn't try to kill the children deliberately.
