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.

The letters thread is now closed.

Anti-Semite

Please inform me why the charge of anti-semitism arises whenever there is even a slight bit of challenge to Israel. It is a journalists job to search for truth. Maybe what he/she is saying is true?

I am very opposed to what is going on in Lebanon, but that does not make me anti-semitic!! It makes your argument weak and uninformed as you don't counter it with facts, but more charges of anti-semitisim.

Compare and contrast

This story with the NYT today: "Christians Fleeing Lebanon Denounce Hezbollah," which paints a different picture. Not a necessarily contradictory picture, but a different one.

I have come to the conclusion that it is, in point of fact, impossible to report objectively about the current conflict, and the best we can hope for is multisourcing.

Now, if you will excuse me, the CS Monitor beckons.
