by criticizing Hizbollah's actions alongside those of Israel, Amnesty "has tried to equate the executioner with the victim." When they accused Israel of war crimes I don't remember them mentioning Hez crimes too.... Notice there's no mention of Hez committing war crimes against the Lebanese people by firing rockets from civilian neighborhoods? That might make Hez look bad....can't have that.

It said around a quarter of the nearly 4,000 rockets that Hizbollah launched into Israel during the 34-day war were fired directly into urban areas. Ummmmm funny they are only counting the ones that landed in urban areas, It seems to me that 4,000 missiles were fired at Urban Areas, but the nature of the ordinance is that it isn't wildly accurate. How come the rhetoric about firing at civilians isn't used to count 4,000 rockets as fired at civilians.
