But needless to say, that part of the story never got out, certainly not through the LSM.

Yeah, war sucks. And yes, Lebanese civilians were killed in at least some of the Israeli air strikes. But the sad simple difference between those air strikes and the Hezbollah rockets (and likewise that VC so-called “captain” Loan busted the cap on) is that the Israelis were not deliberately targeting those civilians. They were aiming for the Hezbos and their arms caches, period. And those civilians were given ample warning to get the hell out of Dodge before the IAF came calling.

On the other hand, the Hezbos WERE deliberately targeting civilians in Israel (again, just as that VC deliberately murdered that man’s family, and for the same reason, terror).

But just like the true story behind that photo of Gen. Loan or the faux photos of “Green Helmet” and the dead child, the MSM isn’t going to tell you the whole story, such as why the Hezbollah terrorists found it necessary to hide behind women and children, or why the Lebanese civilians didn’t leave the area while they had the chance.

Funny how the Lefties and their terrorist fellow travelers don’t have a problem with killing innocents….as long as it is the “correct” ones being killed…

triticale answered you well enough I believe, but I must add, have you seen photos of the Israeli CIVILIAN casualties. I will answer for you. No, you have not. AP, UPI nor none the rest see fit to publish those photos. I wonder why?

Put the camera down, as it is not in conformity to my theory, which is mine, and is the theory that I devised myself.

And you imagine that the authenticity of Robert Capa’s “Falling Soldier” is not in dispute?

Yes, Flying Rodent, it is true that many Lebenese who were not directly responsible for the rocket attacks on Israeli civilians died as a result of those attacks having been launched from in their midst.

Regarding the famous photo of Kim Phuc:

I’ve seen her being interviewed on TV and she was quite clear about what happened to her. I’m very interested to hear what reasons you have for believing that the shot may have been ‘faux’, ‘under dispute’ or ‘staged’ in some way.

I understand the point you’re making, since I’m aware that photographs of corpses were posed in both the American Civil War and World War I. That did not change the fact that both were horrific bloodbaths.

I am, however, rather dubious about your premise – you seem to imply that we are living in some matrix-like other reality where civilians who have been killed by us or our allies do not, in fact, exist.

To my knowledge, the fact that hundreds of innocent Lebanese were killed in the recent hostilities is thus far undisputed.

Or have I misread your post?

I am not familiar with the Robert Capa photo, but remember well the image of that young Vietnamese girl, running, stripped naked after the Napalming of her village and don’t know what “photoshopping” or staging could have been involved.

FYI, that child later immigrated to Canada and became a citizen, so I don’t think she or her parents were Viet Cong sympathizers.
