as if that could protect them from the force of the Israeli war machine.

What pathetic writing!

Another Robert Fisk clone thinks Israeli warnings to Lebanese citizens to evacuate are acts of terror.

The climate of fear was made worse by Israel's use of very modern methods to apply psychological pressure to the Lebanese. An automated device has been telephoning local numbers with a message in Arabic, that introduces itself as coming from the Israeli government and warning all civilians to get out of the area."

How do they get that it's "instilling fear" for the Israelis to warn civilians before they bomb??? I'd bet that the Israeli civilians would appreciate such warnings(as if it would ever happen-Hizbollah wants to kill Israeli civilians).

The Telegraph used to be such a great paper.

We've got the G8, the USA, the Vatican, etc. reminding the Israelis to 'exercise restraint'.

This could go in the textbooks as a great example of exercising 'restraint'. They're doing exactly what the international community has rightly reminded them to do. Climate of fear my arse! More like "Thanks for the warning!"

I wonder if these Lebanese people are smart enough to understand that if THEY had dealt properly with the terrorists on their own soil, Israel would not have to. Perhaps they should stop making bologna and start cleaning house.

Yeah. They look really 'terrified' don't they?
