Hezbollah terrorists are using innocents as shields, Hezbollah terrorists are launching rockets at innocents in Israel. How wrong can the media be. Yes and more innocents will die on both sides. All terrorist groups in the region must be wiped out for lasting peace.

Though Israel claims to be after Hezbollah, it has in effect destroyed the entire Lebanese infrastructure, further impeding the Lebanese government's ability to do anything about Hezbollah in the south. The current Lebanese government was successfully extricating itself from Syria, and now the IDF has bombed them right back into the arms of Damascus and Tehran.

But by no measure can the deaths and capture of military personnel--which is what started this in the first place--justify the indiscriminate destruction of an entire country along with its children. Israel's action, and the United States' and Great Britain's complicity in them, are making the terrorists' case and will surely swell their ranks. When 9/11 II happens, remember the destruction of Lebanon and how little anyone did to stop it.

"We give Israel the funds and weapons systems they use to perpetrate this. So, the US also has blood on its hands, and is, by definition, committing war crimes. Of course, Hizbollah, Syria, and Iran are also to blame. It's just that we should be better than them."

Exactly, Ohio. We shouldn't base our ethics on whether we're acting no worse than crazy fanatics.

It seems to me that there are elements within and without the Middle East who have a vested interest in keeping the cauldron of hatred and suffering at a rolling boil.

While, I belong to the 'Hezbullah started it' wagon, Israel cannot use that excuse to continue the carnage in Lebanon. If someone throws stones in your yard, do you set their house on fire?

How are civilians supposed to get out of these villages? The wealthy and connected have already left. The poor are left to hope for survival, victims of both Hezbullah and Israel.

To all Israeli supporters who are partners in their crimes against humanity:

Hezbollah conducted a limited military operation along the border in order to get the Lebanese prisoners who've been in Israeli jails for decades without trial.

In response, Israel launches an obviously long-term plan of war against Lebanon awaiting any justification.

Hezbollah so far has acted very rationally: As Nassrallah said "we don't want to kill Israelis, we just want them to stay in their shelters so that they feel some of the pain of the Lebanese people"

Hezbollah never launched rockets on civilians before the Israelis started bombing Lebanon.

Israel has lied and lied throughout this war to create 'paper victories' when none existed on the ground.

In the end, Israeli terrorism will fail and the Lebanese resistance will prevail.

...the Salon article is a classic example of how prejudice is hidden in "objective reporting".

Jobson was great in providing the context.

Yeah, it's all Hezbollah's fault.

The IDF is sadly doing what it is being forced, against its will, to do. They don't want to knock Lebanon backwards 20 years. They don't want to create a situation that only increases the liklihood of continued aggression. They must do it, whether they want to or not.

Ah, those poor Israelis.

Context:

In 1996 the Israelis struck Qana, killing over 100 civilians. Then, as now, Israel claimed it was an accident and that there were Hizbullah fighters in Qana whom they were after.

Although not reported in US media, the subsequent investigation suggested--to put it mildly--that this strike was not an accident.

Quoted from the BBC News' "Qana makes grim history again"

31 July 2006

"However, a UN investigation reported in May 1996 that the deaths at the Qana base were unlikely to have been the result of an accident, as claimed by the Israelis.

The UN report, by Maj-Gen Franklin van Kappen of the Netherlands, cited a shift in the fire patterns and the repeated use of shells with so-called proximity fuses over the small UN compound as evidence of an intent to kill people there.

The report also noted the presence of two Israeli helicopters and a drone in the skies over Qana, "contrary to repeated [Israeli] denials", which must have witnessed the bloodbath.

The pattern of impacts is inconsistent with a normal overshooting of the declared target (the mortar site) by a few rounds, as suggested by the Israeli forces," Gen van Kappen's report said.

"While the possibility cannot be ruled out completely, it is unlikely that the shelling of the United Nations compound was the result of gross technical and/or procedural errors," the report concluded."

We always hear: The Israelis are investigating. We rarely hear or probe the results of such investigations.
