Just for full disclosure. I am not a member of the Israeli Foreign Ministry trying to infiltrate
DailyKos and sway American opinion. I'm just a regular old Kossack from Connecticut who hates Joe Lieberman just as much as anyone else here. I wanted to pass along this from
ynet news which tries to explain how Hizbollah's tactics are putting the Lebanese people at risk.
I have become more cynical over the past few years about what I see on TV and about what I read on the internet. I really believed Colin Powell's speech at the UN. So I pass this along knowing that there are forces out there on all sides trying to manipulate world opinion.
The video embedded in the article shows Hizbollah shooting off rockets from residential neighborhoods and then hiding the launchers in garages in homes. It also talks about discrepancies between the time Israel fired in Qana and the time that the building there fell down. Have the "evil Israelis" cooked this up to fool the world ? ..... maybe I really don't know.
I do believe that the Hizbollah actions allged in the video and these photos is consistent with a movement that puts martyrdom above all else. It shouldn't surprise anyone that people who encourage their children to strap bombs to themselves and walk into restaurants to kill other people, would also do something like this.
I'm personally truly miserable about what is going on in the middle east now. I really hate to find myself on the same side as Bush Bolton and Rice. I'm also really upset that alot of people out there think that Kos and the progressive movement in general thinks that everything Israel does is wrong. I'm hoping Israel can weaken Hizbollah enough so that an international force can get in there to prevent more violence.
Shalom
