CNN or Al Jazeera? Same diff.

Take the time, watch this video.

4 minutes and 45 seconds of a CNN reporter running around interviewing a Lebanese civilian amidst the rubble of Beruit.  Time and again showing civilian buildings damaged.  And of course, the reporter, being the paragon of objective journalism that he must be, parrots after the interviewee, “…in civlian buildings.”

4 minutes and 45 seconds, and not one word about rocket attacks into Israel.  The downtrodden civilian laments that they don’t have warships, they don’t have planes, just RPG’s and Kalishnikovs.  Well, yeah, and increasingly sophisticated rockets.  The one time the CNN reporter even get’s close to asking a probing question, its,” Oh! Another jet is coming, we must run!“

Apparently, as you suspected, these attacks are all Israel’s fault, Israeli started this, and has been attacking Lebanon since 1982, the proud Lebanese people will never surrender until Israel does, etc.  Until Israel releases Lebanese “hostages” help in Israeli jails, and oh, uh, apparently all those thousands of Palestinian refugees it’s keeping under lock and key.

Quite the little promo for the valiant victims of Israeli agressions, courtesy of the Caliphate’s News Network.

Sheesh.

Interestingly, this video from the BBS directly contradicts the above downtrodden civilian’s (who by the way speaks remarkably good english) assertion that there where no Hezbollah any where near the targets struck, that it was all just people living and working.

The BBC reporter states, “This was the headquarter’s of Hezbollah, where I met with them many times in the past.”

Israel clearly knew where the HQ was, warned the people to get out, and the t-boned the place with an LGB (laser-guided bomb), just like they said they would.  These are clearly precision strikes at established targets.  There is collateral damage, but far less that it could be if Israel really were “indiscriminately” bombing.

This idea of proportional force is not only preposterous, but a recent fabrication of some PR moguls wet dream.  No historical precedence whatsoever.  You come at me with a knife, am I only allowed to bring a knife in return?  Or do I pull out my S&W .40 Chief’s Special, and convince you what a BAD idea it is to come at me with a knife?  You drop a couple of my skyscrapers?  I redraw your fucking map.

A supposedly rational individual might eventually come to realize that a few Katushka Rockets into downtown anytown, Israel = 1 x 1,000 LGB somewhere in downtown Beruit.  Do the math.  Learn the lesson.  And in case you missed it in all the fluff, let me remind you:

Israel did not attack Lebanon until after enduring numerous rocket attacks at the hands of Hezbollah.  And after giving them numerous warning and opportunities to stop.

You know, Hezbollah is almost like a psycho girlfriend.  She screams at you, kicks you, burns your clothes in the street, and after she finally comes at you with the butcher knife, she then calls the cops on you for clocking her a good one.

Hezbollah = They’re not evil, they’re co-dependent.

UPDATE:

Yup.  Those evil, evil Israelis (video of rocket trucks parked amongst high-rise buildings.  Some even launching.)

Those indiscriminate BASTARDS!!  (This one is awesome).  And check out the other vids in the “Related” box.

Do people not understand that Israeli has one of the most accomplished and technically advanced Air Forces in the World?   Do they really think that a UAV can’t track a missile leaving a launcher using FLIR and real-time video?  Or that the IDF might have a bird or two on station overhead with 1,000 pounders under each wing, waiting for a target to show itself?

Clearly not the brightest folks around…
