The IDF has found that Hizbullah is preventing civilians from leaving villages in southern Lebanon. Roadblocks have been set up outside some of the villages to prevent residents from leaving, while in other villages Hizbullah is preventing UN representatives from entering, who are trying to help residents leave. In two villages, exchanges of fire between residents and Hizbullah have broken out.

[Sam's Army]

Huh. Why would they do that? Andrea Mitchell told me Hezbollah were a "humanitarian aid group" or some such.

[Gator101]

Well of course...big brave Hizbullah can't conduct an "open war" unless it has civilians to hide behind.

[cripplecreek]

I kinda expected this with all the threats coming from Iran and the rest of the islamderthal scum.

[pissant]

The meltdown begins....

[MikeA]

This can't be true. Andrea Mitchell says Hezbollah are lovable humanitarians.

[silverleaf]

muslim version of human shields.

al jazeera has probably been invited to stay nearby to film the body parts of women and children hit by Israeli fire after hellzb'allah rockets are launched into Israel from these peasants' homes and schools.

I wonder if the dead Canadians were kept from leaving?

[MikeA]

This can't be true. Andrea Mitchell says Hezbollah are lovable humanitarians.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I think they're hoping more civilians get killed in airstrikes so that they can blame Israel.

[From One - Many]

Don't worry syria says all hostages will be safe in syria.

>>Huh. Why would they do that? Andrea Mitchell told me Hezbollah were a "humanitarian aid group" or some such.<<

This is quoting MSNBc so consider the bias...

But MSNBC is reporting that Lebanese Shiite leaders, not just Hezbiollah are saying the fleeing is like surrendering to Israel.

Zionist lies! The civilians want to stay and defend their homes from Zionist aggression by becoming human shields for peace. Hezbollah is merely demonstrating its solidarity by helping them implement the collective will of the ummah and all peace loving peoples everywhere.

"islamderthal"

Nice. You invent this word? It's the first I've seen it.

[skyman]

Come on guys give them a break.

Hezbolla is just trying to protect the innocent civilians from the evil Israelis /sarcasm

[Rummyfan]

Knew this was coming..... They need them as shields and to make out the Zionist oppressors as wanton murderers.

[taxesareforever]

After reading Debbie Schlussels column about those the U.S. is evacuating I must say this doesn't bother me.

[Little Ray]

Shouldn't be the Israelis' problem. Protecting Lebanese civilians in the Lebanese government's job.
What?!? They can't?

STILL not the Israelis' problem.

[b4its2late]

Human shield time!
