I can't pull for the death of a single innocent bystander. Nevertheless, if these bozos claim there are 600 bodies, or 601, it's more likely that there are 6.01 bodies.
Hizbollah: "About 600 have been made martyrs by the Zionist occupiers."
Reuters: "How may of those were your brave soldiers?"
Hizbollah: "Only a handful."
Reuters: "Ok, thanks. I really appreciate your help. It's so hard to get hard numbers on these things. I hate having to venture so far from my hotel to gather information."
Hizbollah: "We are always happy to help you find the truth, if you need more information, contact me and we can meet again?"
Reuters: "Ok. Do you prefer meeting here by the orphanage, or did you like meeting at the hospital better?"
Hizbollah: "I don't like keep a consistent schedule, maybe we will meet by the UN observer post next time."
Reuters: "That sounds great! They're usually a good source of information too!"
That is just too good!
Thank you ......... NYC Republican, for your understanding.
Take care of the innocent ones in your own crippled life.
600 in 16 days is 37.5 bodies per day. Given the amount of manpower and firepower at the Israeli disposal it sure looks to me like they are being very reserved.
They did not choose their friends, nor did they choose the parents, who chose to induct them into a death cult.
If only 600 members of Hezballa have been killed in all of this time, the IDF isn't doing so well.
Well, to be fair, we have numerous reports of Hezballah setting up roadblocks to prevent the locals from leaving.
It amazes me how those Israeli bombs take out all those "civilians" and miss all the Hezbollah terrorists...
That would include the blood of the U. N. "peacekeepers," regardless of Kofi Annan's inane analysis.
That emotive picture of a child with a bomb belt would be palestinian not Lebanese.
That speaks volumes about the same Leb government which is in tears these days. They're reaping what they sowed.
Hopefully they'll be dead even before they reach the Syria-Lebanon border.
OK then.
If all Muslims go to Heaven and meet 72 virgins, then Israel is doing those 600 civilians a favor by killing them.
Go for 1,000.
The First Palestinian State
Posted December 10, 2003.
(snip)
Lebanon had once been called the Paris of the Middle East, the Garden of Eden spot for vacationing Arabs, with a Banking Center for the Arab world - but all that was destroyed. The Christians and Muslims had worked out a peaceful, political accommodation to run Lebanon and, particularly, Beirut. Arafat had stirred them up, so now they were bitter enemies, attacking each other and fighting Arafats Palestinian Mini-State of Terror. The killings went on day and night, with whole villages massacred, with a retaliatory massacre soon after. Arafat turned the various Arab refugee camps into his bases of operation. Weapons and explosives were stored in apartment building, hospitals and schools, using the civilians as human shields.
As confusion and terror reigned, Arafat continued to expand his mini-State of Palestine with the presumption that one day all of Lebanon would be a Palestinian State.
Arafats methods were a mirror image of what Americans found in Iraq, particularly Bagdad, where Saddams family and Republican Guards wreaked havoc. Granted, Saddams regime was larger and very well-funded, but the hideous brutality was virtually the same.
Arafats gunman roamed the streets with modified pick-up trucks, manned with 30-50 caliber guns mounted in back. They were looking for various factions of Christian militia to gun down, but Muslims were also shot dead - as were any of the few Jews who still lived in Lebanon. (By that time, the Arab/Muslim nations had ejected almost all of their Jews (approximately 800,000) and had confiscated all their property and assets - personal and community. In effect, this was a replay of Hitler and Europes confiscation of all that their Jews owned.)
Arafat launched frequent terrorist cross border attacks into Israel from his safe Mini-State in Lebanon - just as does HezbAllah does now. HezbAllah, a fierce terror organization based in Lebanon, is run by Syria and funded by Iran. When those attacks became intolerable, Prime Minister Begin gave Defense Minister Gen. Ariel Sharon permission to attack Arafats Terror State in Lebanon. The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) discovered and exposed many things that were photographed, catalogued and described in books published subsequently about the savagery of Arafats treatment of his Lebanese brothers. As today, the Left-leaning liberal media ignored what Israel had discovered, but they did castigate Israel for daring to respond to Palestinian terror attacks.
Israels early encounters came from what then was called the RPG Kids (Rocket-Propelled Grenade). These were 9- to 11-year old kids who were trained (on Arafats orders) to use rocket-propelled grenades and hide behind their seemingly innocent youth. Many Israeli soldiers were killed because they hesitated to kill mere children. However, these were not mere children; they were fully trained Palestinian killers who were merely smaller than Arafats regular terrorists. They were trained from early childhood to hate, kill and obey their master. (That education to hate, kill and obey continues to this day in the Palestinian Authority.)
The IDF discovered miles of machine-dug tunnels, stocked full of arms, ammunition and plans for the next major war against Israel - aimed at her elimination. These were the pre-stocked positions for planned advancing Palestinians, with regular Syrian troops, into Israel. I believe it was the Austrians who supplied the huge tunnel-digging machines, which could dig wide tunnel into the Lebanese mountains, thus allowing large trucks to deliver their deadly loads.(1)
