The "hiding among civilians" myth
Israel claims it's justified in bombing civilians because Hezbollah mingles with them. In fact, the militant group doesn't trust its civilians and stays as far away from them as possible.
By Mitch Prothero [2006-07-28]

  • What if it was us?

    In the late 19th century an Irish-American group called the Fenian brotherhood was formed, which today would be called "terrorist". These people made military raids on Canada in at least five instances. While there are many differences between this and what is happening in the Middle East, a few things are common. Many Americans supported their political goals (freeing Ireland from British domination) and many in the US government turned a blind eye to this group arming itself. If Canada had decided to retaliate against civilians the way Israel has, how would you feel?
