This is just plain disturbing, from every angle. Some eyewitness reports talked about the continous bombing that is contradictory to the timing of the Israeli reports.

Someone doesn't have their facts straight. And really there's not a whole lot to be determined in any of this yet. Either way, there's a lot of dead women and children and either Hezbollah brought it on these civilians or they had a direct hand in it.

The next step in this parade, which has been coming for many years, is that only the bad guys can wage war.

[browardchad]

Israelis will not be able to investigate this claim directly. The question remains whether honest men and women of other nationalities will let this likely lie stand or press for the revelation of the improbable and inconvenient truth.

Good luck with that: dead bodies are, as always, a feeding frenzy for the media.

Journalists -- CNN comes to mind -- have documented the fact that Hezbollah controls media access to these scenes of civilian casualties, and doesn't allow cameras on the scene until they have set the stage (cleared the ordnance, etc.) for maximum media impact.

Storing dead bodies, whether used in this case or not, isn't a new trick either. It's been reported that Saddam would store the dead bodies of children in advance of planned demonstrations showcasing the alleged affects of the boycott -- marching the bodies of dead children through the streets.

When the west comes to the realization that the pictures of these dead -- so shocking and heartbreaking to civilized sensibilities -- mean absolutely nothing to those whose sensibilities have been distorted and deadened from childhood by brutal child-rearing practices and violent ideology, we may then be able to summon the courage to resist the manipulation and defeat the ruthless.

And I am sure Mr. syriana, George Clooney is applauding.

It should be clear to any rational observer -- that peace will not come to the middle east until one side or the other is bled white...
INCLUDING Jihadis and non Jihadis, women, children, donkeys, dogs and camels.....

The various Islamist power brokers in the area can NOT be trusted to comply with ANY negotiated "peace".......

The Islamist is hell bent on killing...
The only way to defeat them, is to kill them in horrifyingly large numbers...

What the hell is all the commotion about a few dozen, hundred, thousand or 100's of thousands dead......when in prior wars, MILLIONS were killed?
Even if it was staged by the Hizbollah -- who the hell cares?

The Jews didn't start this mess....but their survival and our own -- depends on them WINNING it.

Their limbs appeared to have stiffened, from rigor mortis. Neither were effects that would have resulted from an Israeli attack hours before. These were bodies that looked like they had been dead for days...

"The question remains whether honest men and women of other nationalities will let this likely lie stand or press for the revelation of the improbable and inconvenient truth."

Even if honest persons were to investigate, you can dismiss the notion that the MSM will do any real reporting on the matter.

[caspera]

Definitive proof that the Qana incident was at least partially staged: eureferendum.blogspot.com/2006/07/milking-it.html

[McGavin999]

One of the things I noticed was the lack of blood. In building collapses there is LOTS of blood and bruises.

[Guenevere]

[Jameison]

Well at least Israel has kept up with artillery bombardment of the Hizbullah vermin.
And as at this morning Israel HAS launched an airstrike against the Hizbullah sub-humans, and reserves the right to hit ant Hizbullah movements they find threatening to Israel.
Time to resume to full unrelenting attacks against these Islamiofacist suckers.

[Jameison]

"But the accumulating evidence suggests another explanation for what happened at Kana. The scenario would be a setup in which the time between the initial Israeli bombing near the building and morning reports of its collapse would have been used to "plant" bodies killed in previous fighting -- reports in previous days indicated that nearby Tyre was used as a temporary morgue -- place them in the basement, and then engineer a "controlled demolition" to fake another Israeli attack"


What kind of people will do such a thing?
Islamofacits are about the worst excuse for human beings you can get.
Totally contemptible and evil.
The more they die, the better for mankind.

Vital Perspective also notes Article 28 of the 4th Geneva Convention:

The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.
So the civilian casualties are, under the Geneva Convention, Hezbollah's responsibility.

It is clear in Lebanon and Iraq, the terrorists choose to fight cloaked as citizens and hiding among them. I wonder if both Israel and the US might not have to change our tactics. Fighting a hidden enemy with 500 pounders is allowing them to win the propaganda war, with a media all to willing to help them do just that. I wonder if we should not begin fighting in the same manner the enemy is fighting. Small, un-uniformed, tactical assassin squads.

[sportutegrl]

Little Green Footballs ( www.littlegreenfootballs.com ) is all over this. Also Powerline blog has an interesting poster of Condi shown just a few hours after the building collapse that is waaaaay too professional to have been made that quick.

[familyop]

Do you think they'll offer this man a job?

[familyop]

That was a Reuters photo, BTW.

[DustyMoment]

Given the history of terrorists and their manipulation of the media, this version of the building collapse has a ring of truth to it - and it worked!! The IDF has stopped air attacks for 48 hours!! Will they get those 48 hours worth of air raids back when it is conclusively proven that the Qana building collapse was faked?

Not likeley, but the terrorists will have given themselves a 48 hour edge to re-stock their munitions supplies.

[Barney59]

Now this explanation strikes me as much closer to the truth.

[redgolum]

But Israelis steeled to scenes of carnage from Palestinian suicide bombings and Hezbollah rocket attack could not help but notice that these victims did not look like our victims. Their faces were ashen gray. Their limbs appeared to have stiffened, from rigor mortis. Neither were effects that would have resulted from an Israeli attack hours before. These were bodies that looked like they had been dead for days.

I wondered that also. Like the photos of the "chemical attack", the bodies look like they have been dead for awhile, and the live "victims" do not appear hurt.
