Even when the pictures are live video, on CNN for example, you see, first, destroyed buildings in Lebanon, maybe a row of bodies, then cut to young Israeli hardasses in tanks firing at some target off camera. Sometimes they split the screen - Israeli military on one side - Lebanon destroyed on the other.
They never show you Hizballah hiding behind a school full of kids and firing rockets at Israel.
They always convey the impression that it is poor pathetic Lebanon, and big tough Israel over- reacting.
The western press are what Lenin called, "useful idiots", they seem to be oblivious to the fact that it is not just Israel that Ahmedajinabad and his neo fascists are targeting. It is no surprise to see, in Time magazine, a group of young members of Hizballah, dressed in military fatigues, giving the raised arm nazi salute.

I certainly Bob's point, but I think I'm with FP on this one. I guess the media, having already done the knee-jerk reaction thing of slamming Israel, couldn't then show bodies of Israelis a that might lead people to ask why the media was against Israel.

Ha ha ha ha some people in this forum talk about morals
haven't you seen the bodies of children in Qena , haven't you seen their limbs, their blood, this is what we can call the American gentle morals
they are very "polite" when they kill mothers hugging their children, they were even very cool to allow Israel a week or two to kill more children. What morals are you speaking about? Israel and America were defeated on the battlefield so they resort to killing civilians in their secure houses,
they thought that Lebanese Christians and Sunnites won't resist and will uprise against Hizboullah. Do you expect from us to bow to you while you are killing our children or to send this pig of yours a kandy sweet to suck.
ANY WAY HIZBOULLAH HAS WON THE WAR AND WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR VICTORY . dON'T YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE BOTHERING OUR CELEBRATION YOU BIG LOOSERS HA HA HAH

[mehrezsassi]

though you called me immoral or whatever I can't be more immoral and
impolite as your president swearing in front of the public and the press addressing his loyal servant littlle Tony.
those who live in glass ................

[mehrezsassi]

Mind that " losers" is written " loosers" with double zero , one "0" for the Isreali Army and the other one for BUSHY BUSH ; hahahahahah

So, now we see your true colours maresass.
I guess it's too complicated for you to understand that if you attack Israel, they will retaliate.
If you leave Israel alone, they will leave you alone.
Even your dog can understand that.

You know, M, when you were talking about Israel and the US being cruel to your people, I was thinking about typing "What about Hezbollah??!", but later in your post you mentioned Hezbollah yourself!
Why can't you see your hypocrisy??
Hezbollah kills too.

Some might suggest that if the wonderfully brave Hezbollah fighters for an oppressive Islamic state came out from hiding behind kids and mothers, fewer of the innocents would get killed.

The "International Community", despite good (I hope) intentions, is merely helping Hezbollah when they lean on Israel to stop fighting. It merely gives the terrorists time to regroup and rearm and continue their attempt to obliterate Israel.
Meanwhile the useful idiots in the media, such as CNN and BBC world news, slant the news as much as possible to show Israel in a bad light, and in every country where they have allowed Muslim immigration, with the exception of Australia, the governments lean over backwards trying to avoid confronting the real threat to world peace which is Islamic terrorism.
Appeasement didn't work with Hitler, and it won't work with Hezbollah.
