    Different picture, different story

    It's a different picture because it's a different story. It's not surprising Christian refugees from Southern Lebanon would denounce Hezbollah nor is it much of a surprise that the "hiding among civilians" stuff is a myth or, more accurately, purposeful propaganda. It is amazing how fast the anti-semitism card was played in an attempt to try and take attention away from the debunking of that line of propaganda.
