I just wanted to know since you have shown what it was like for israeli soldiers during the war, are you going to show what it was like for the people of Qana during the war? Are you going to show the suffering of people in Beirut? How about the entire southern half of Lebanon? I am sure you are aware of how many people were killed there aren't you? So, you will have quite a few pictures/stories to show there. I think in all fairness, we should present both sides of the story rather than just show what Israeli soldiers have suffered, we should show what the cities in Lebanon and the people in Lebanon have suffered and will suffer. I am also curious as to do you know the exact figure of how many Lebanonese were killed? Because no one seems to know that figure, I wonder why? Thanks for taking the time to read my question. Will be waiting impatiently for your answers.

Press should present what happened in Lebanon by not projecting Israel as good. Both parts of Lebanon and Israel that were severely damaged should be pictured on the news in order that people can see the truth.

Hezbollah fired its deadliest rocket barrage Sunday on Israel, killing 12 Israeli reservists and three civilians. That brought the Israeli death toll to 97, including 49 soldiers, the 12 reservists and 36 civilians.

Israel's attacks on Lebanon have killed at least 617 people, including 524 civilians, 29 Lebanese soldiers and at least 53 Hezbollah guerrillas.

The original article was an AP article but as its only available by subscription in the archives there are other publications still online wich are carrying the same article and giving credit to AP so you can check this info for yourself. The article is a few weeks old so I dont know who is keeping count since then.

Yes, war is suffering. I also think they should show what it was like for the Lebanese citizens who looked out their windows to see the Hizbollah firing rockets on Israeli citizens. I think they should show the two Israeli soldiers being kidnapped and perhaps get their story about how they must have been in mortal fear--those guys chop off heads! Lets face it--war is brutal on both sides. The Hizbollah now say they would not have kidnapped the two soldiers if they knew that Israel would kick their asses so much. What does that mean? That they screwed up thinking that Israel would take their crap lying down?? You can call names, swear, etc. but this world has become a dangerous place for many innocent people-Israelies and otherwise, and who's to blame--the victims again???

99% of American journalists reporting on that conflict reported from Beirut and showed Lebanese casualties. My figures aren't exactly correct but that's what it seemed like on CNN, Fox, and others. In fact, some news organizations got in trouble for doctoring photos with added smoke and debris in Lebanese cities. Hezbollah missiles either blew up before getting to Israel, or didn't hit their intended targets. Hezbollah also hid their missile sites under schools and hospitals. Consequentially, many civilians were harmed. I don't know the exact number, sorry.This is a big reason why coverage tended to be from Lebanon rather than Israel. Hezbollah wanted to win the PR battle by putting innocent civilians in the way or Israeli missiles.

I guess my question to you would be what news channel do you watch? I have watched coverage on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC, and I've seen plenty of the destruction in Lebanon. I especially recall an entire afternoon watchig coverage of the tragedy in Qana. I don't think anyone who has been paying attention thinks that Israel got the worst of it. So again......what news channels are you watching?

actually I think you must not live in the united states. Because pretty much all you could get was what happened in Lebanon. I very rarely saw anything about Israel.
