I hate Al Jezeera

So why do I read it? Because it's important to know what the enemy is saying about you. Big headline today ISRAEL CONDEMNED OVER LEBANON WAR. This sounded interesting so I opened it up and was (sarcasm alert) pleasantly surprised by what I read. . .

The report, released on Thursday, accused Israeli air raids of causing "most of the approximately 900 civilian deaths" during the war.

"Responsibility for the high civilian death toll of the war in Lebanon lies squarely with Israeli policies and targeting decisions in the conduct of its military operations," the report said.

"Most of the 900 civilian deaths huh, well why did those civilians die? Maybe it was because the Hezbollah terrorists shot rockets into Israel and then ran into a crowd of civilians so Israel wouldn't shoot back, and hey maybe those IAF pilots got a little pissed off at this war crime that hit the FIRE button out of frustration, I don't know, but I do know they were not aiming at civilians, unlike Hezbollah, which specifically targeted civilians which is an international war crime.

Israel has said it attacked civilian areas because Hezbollah set up rocket launchers in them.

Mark Regev, an Israeli foreign ministry spokesman, said: "We faced a very specific problem in that Hezbollah adopted a very deliberate and premeditated strategy to embed itself among the civilian population."

The rights organization, though, said there was no basis to the Israeli claim.

Which one do you think they're setting up to seem more legitimate, Israel or the rights organization?

Kenneth Roth, HRW executive director, said at a press conference in Jerusalem that, while Israel did not appear to have had a deliberate policy of killing civilians, there was "a pattern of killing that amounts to indiscriminate fire".

Unbelievable, this guy is saying that Israel is using Hezbollah as an excuse to randomly shoot Arabs in Lebanon. "A pattern of killing that amounts to indiscriminate fire." Is Hezbollah also 'indiscriminate' in the targets that they chose?

HRW acknowledged that Israel warned civilians that aircraft were going to bomb villages, at one point announcing a 48-hour cease-fire to let civilians leave.

But the air strikes that followed targeted civilians as well was militants, the report said.

So Israel doesn't keep its promises huh? Did Hezbollah tell the Jews "Oh, you should leave because we're going to send missiles into your country for the single reason being that we don't like you.
Why is the fact that it was Hezbollah that started this war by kidnapping three Israeli soldiars and the IDF's purpose for being in Lebanon was to get them back. Hezbollah was the one who then started firing rockets into Israel for the sole purpose of injuring and killing as many Jews as possible.
What are you going to get from an organization that supports terrorism? It's still important to know what they're saying about us.
