It figures. Another fringe leftist buying into Hizbullah propaganda just as easily as it does phoney DNC Talking Points. About that Qana attack Perception is Reality.... posted by Sully I'm not surprised that the MSM does not make it clear that Israel repeatedly warned the civilians in the area to leave.... <<< The IDF spread messages through local media and in flyers on July 25 stating, "To all citizens south of the Litani River: Due to the terror activities being carried out against the State of Israel from within your villages and homes, the IDF is forced to respond immediately against these activities, even within your villages. For your safety! We call upon you to evacuate your villages and move north of the Litani River." >>> ....or that the IDF says that the terrorists have launched multiple rocket attacks against Israel from that position (The Israeli Foreign Ministry website has video of missiles being fired from behind the building in Qana. <<< “We have been attacking in Qana for three days,” the high-ranking IAF officer said. “They have fired dozens of rockets from there over the past week at Kiryat Shmona, Afula and Ma’alot.” The officer said that the guerillas fire rockets and then flee into nearby buildings. >>> No, I've come to expect intentionally misleading (and worse) reporting of "newz" from the MSM. One day there will be a price to pay for their relentless dishonesty purely for partisan purposes. Sadly it may be painful for many, many millions of innocent people as well, but that's a story for another time. Now there is some interesting information making its way around the internet that should be thoroughly investigated. And if it is substantiated it MUST be widely reported to expose Hizbullah terrorists as the murdering, despicable thugs they really are. <<< “The attack on the structure in the Qana village took place between midnight and one in the morning. The gap between the timing of the collapse of the building and the time of the strike on it is unclear,” Brigadier General Amir Eshel, Head of the Air Force Headquarters told journalists at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, following the incidents at Qana. Eshel and the head of the IDF’s Operational Branch, Major General Gadi Eisnkot said the structure was not being attacked when it collapsed, at around 8:00 in the morning. >>> It's not like there isn't already substantial evidence of the reprehensible acts these terrorists engage in already. We know they intentionally target innocent civilians. We know they dress as civilians & hide behind human shields. We know they store their weapons, build their bunkers & launch their attacks from civilians areas. We know they do this because it not only protects them, it gives them a useful propaganda tool that the MSM willingly & unquestioningly reports about Israel (or the US military) causing innocent civilian casualties. And we know that the MSM won't even call them terrorists, let alone portray them as the absolutely evil creatures they are. Now the evidence in the latest incident at Qana already points out that Hizbullah was using the civilians as shields as they repeatedly fired rockets at Israeli civilian targets & the shocking failure to evacuate this building despite repeated warnings from Israel that this area had become a legitimate military target. However (I shudder to think), if this turns out that Hizbullah was responsible for any civilians remaining inside when the building collapsed &/or caused the collapse itself in order to get the MSM, UN, etc., to falsely condemn Israel, then there is absolutely no excuse for the MSM, UN, ET AL, to educate everyone & I mean EVERYONE of the whole truth about these terrorists & their sick methodologies. Now add this into the equation; AFP photograph John at Power Line asks; What seems odd about this is that the banner was unfurled within hours after the Qana attack took place. The building where the civilians died was bombed on Sunday morning, and the demonstration took place during daylight hours, later the same day. I have no idea what kind of facility it takes to produce a 30-foot-high banner like this one. It is obviously professionally done. It would be interesting to know where this banner was produced; who designed and paid for it; and how its production was expedited so that it was ready for use, on the street, within hours after the event being protested. For example, was the image of Rice produced in advance, awaiting a pretext for its use, with only the script added at the last minute? I've often been curious about the logistics of pro-terrorist demonstrations, and this seems like an especially curious example. Well, it's looking more & more like Hizbullah had plenty of time to stage this "protest". If it turns out that this is indeed what happened, let's hope that the anti-war left, the UN, DNC & MSM finally take a step back & seriously reassess their POV.
