Seattle's ever-present "Blame Israel First" contingent, and gullible readers who buy the deceptive blame-casting of incomplete reports such as this: heed Charles Krauthamer in today's Seattle Times: "Hezbollah hides its fighters, its rockets, its launchers, its entire infrastructure among civilians. Creating human shields is a war crime. It is also a Hezbollah specialty." A resident near Tyre tells the NYT: "Hezbollah came to Ain Ebel to shoot its rockets," said Fayad Hanna Amar, a young Christian man, referring to his village. "They are shooting from between our houses. Please,'' he added, "write that in your newspaper." (Hat tip: Dhimmi Watch).

Posted by: Obi-Wan on July 31, 2006 08:33 AMBut that childish vision ignores the reality and brutality of groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. As long as these groups hide amongst civilians and parade their dead babies for political gain, there is a manifest evil in the world that we must confront ... with superior force. We must destroy the terrorist groups and the regimes that fund them if we ever hope to begin again with governments in the Middle East that put diplomacy before violence.
Any American Newspaper or Media Outlet that is not reporting the story with the reality that sustainable peace is not possible, should be vigorously outed and condemned. The best way to win this war on the home front is to vilify those who fail to acknowledge the threat.
Posted by: Jeff B. on July 31, 2006 09:23 AMThat is because Jews are expendable! But hurting anyone whose religion dicatates and declares itself to be the religion of peace - well, how could anyone be so evil to hurt someone with such a great religion. It is just barbaric. Leave it to right-wing neocon Christians not to understand that, and what a real religion is all about.
Does that clear it up? If not read my column in Pravda (aka NYT) under the name TotalMoron.
Posted by: Fred on July 31, 2006 09:46 AMAt Qana we've been treated to pictures of dead children. Gruesome and tragic, any death particularly the death of children in this circumstances is horrific.
The question is not if children died the question is who killed them.
IAF has released video of missile launches from Qana. That is Hezbollah making civilian areas a target.
Second the building collapsed 8 hours after the IAF strike.
Third the very questionable time frame of the images of the dead children in particular one girl shown in an ambulance, then later being "recovered" again.
All this not only place blame squarely on Hezbollah...
It begs the question were the children killed by Hezbollah for propaganda purposes?
The deaths of the children in Qana is on outrage.
Anyone who points that outrage at Israel the IDF and IAF is...
A USEFUL IDIOT being used by Hezbollah to further the goal of terror organization whose state goal is the genocide of the Jews people and eliminating the State of Israel.
Posted by: JCM on July 31, 2006 10:26 AMTo paraphrase, when the IDF kills innocent civilians in Lebanon, there an apology and an immediate investigation. When Hezbollah kills innocent civilians, this is deemed a complete success and reason for celebration.
And we always need to be on gaurd that we do not become like the latter ourselves.
Posted by: Splinter on July 31, 2006 01:05 PMReminds me of an old song from the sixties.
THE SNAKE
Al Wilson
On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Poor thing," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
She wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had bee revived
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
She clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
"I saved you," cried the woman
"And you've bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
"Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake
I'd say that these reporters might as well have said Hizbollah is fighting for Lebanon. The MSM glossed over that seemingly inconvenient truth. Any halfway intelligent non-moonbat could see through this despicable crap. CNN has no shame !
Posted by: KS on July 31, 2006 10:32 PMThis shows how Hizbollah has purposely put residents in danger - for any doubters out there.
