well, if it's "Christian" villages they're using, then I'm sure it's a non-issue to the UN.

time to renew the South Lebanese Army. this is why a pro-west Christian militia was necessary all along. this barbarians will do everything to spread the destruction to any other party. its an islamo death cult.

This is not a new strategy for Hezbollah.

Nor for Islamists in general. Using innocent civilians as "human shields" is perhaps the main weapon in their arsenal. Without it they'd be slaughtered without delay/hesitation.

"Launching attacks behind human shields is in violation of the Geneva Convention's provision for the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts, which prohibits the use of civilians as military shields."

Repeated for emphasis.

IMHO, this report just makes all the more clear that the radical islamiics, like Hezbollah, the liberals in this nation and across the west who abbett and appease them, the main stream media, and other nations (like Iran, Syria, N. Korea, Red China, Cuba, Venezuela and to some extent Russia and France) who are seeking to get political or ideological gain from this even by castigating Israel and the U.S.,IMHO are forming the nucleus of a cabal of enemies dedicated to bringing down western liberty based on fundamental Judeao-Christian moral principle.

We are, in many ways, at that point in time relative to a major third world war, that the Spanish civil war represented in the second world war.

There is a terrible and deadly potential for much worse looming on the horizon. It is apparent, at least to me, that we cannot avoid all of it at this point as 911 and events since have already shown. But, unless we act decisively and, I might add, ruthlessly, against our avowed enemies (like we ended up having to do with the Nazis and Japanese Imperialists in World War II), we may be forced to experience far worse than what World War II brough upon this country.

Better to mitigate the difficulty now, than wait for it to become much worse in the future.

Geneva conventions only apply to infidels like Israel and the U.S. "Brave" jihadi warriors don't need no steenkin' Geneva conventions.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

If they want an INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS WAR, i.e. WWIII, then they have it and so be it. As far as I am concerned.

The side with The Lord G*d will win. And we know who that is.

In judea and Samaria, they used the Christian villages of Beit seir and Beit Jala in a similar fashion, and tortured and murdered those who would not submit to their depravity.

I have been referring to it as WW 0. It has been going on with cease fires for the Islamokazies to regroup for six centuries.

"A Christian from the village of Ain Ebel, who requested to remain nameless for fear of a reprisal from Hezbollah, reported that he found Hezbollah fighters setting up a launcher on his rooftop.

Hezbollah fighters ignored his pleas to stop and fired the missiles.

He immediately gathered his family and fled his home, which was bombed 15 minutes later by an Israeli air strike."



Waiting for the old media to report this...not !
