Consistently, from the Hezbollah heartland, my message was that Hezbollah must stop this cowardly blending . . . among women and children...
Jan Egeland, UN head of humanitarian affairs
Something probably closer to the 'truth':
Hezbollah fighters [...] avoid civilians like the plague. Much smarter and better trained than the PLO and Hamas fighters, they know that if they mingle with civilians, they will sooner or later be betrayed by collaborators -- as so many Palestinian militants have been.

The implication of Egeland’s cowardly statement seems to be that any Lebanese fighter, or Palestinian one, resisting Israel and its powerful military should stand in an open field, his rifle raised to the sky, waiting to see who fares worse in a shoot-out with an Apache helicopter or F-16 fighter jet. Hizbullah’s reluctance to conduct the war in this manner, we are supposed to infer, is proof that they are terrorists.

War is PEACE
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is strength
Big brother is watching you:)
There was a thing in the local paper about the cowardly Afghan fighters, same thing. If you think about it, they're saying "The enemy is tougher than we had hoped."
ReplyDeleteDid you see The Fog of War? 11 lessons or something. Kind of appropriate.
Maliha,
ReplyDeleteI just call 'em as I see 'em!
Pierre, I haven't seen that movie, but it has a very cool interactive website.
ANother thing mainstream media is glossing over is that Hezbollah is really unpopular with big chunks of civilian Lebanese. They *can't* hide amongst civilians because too many civilians don't like them. The lie is so damn obvious!
