I could not believe how biased the media coverage of the war against Hezbollah was. I could not believe how many people bought into the hype against Israel. The last clip shows proof that Hezbollah fired from within feet of housing. How many of you feel like you were lied to, and unjustly blamed Israel ? Who now agrees that terrorist organizations send members to schools to learn how to wage a media war? Is it any coincidence that cameras were on the scene so quickly after Israeli strikes?

I know there were false photos printed in the newspapers. For example, there was a Lebanese woman crying about her house being destroyed and then a few days later, another photo appeared with the same woman crying about her house.

Also, in the Kana disaster the number of people killed reported by the media was inflated.

By the way, countries, national leaders, media say Israel has a right to defend herself, but when Israel actually dares to do so, Israel becomes the monster, the villain rather than a country justly defending her people against attack.

One might say the same thing about the Israelis. You say the last clip shows "proof that Hezbollah fired from within feet of housing"? Hummm. and did not Israel drop BOMBS on Lebanese housing? You say I should be "disgusted by the media slant of the war in Hezbollah?"
Well to tell the truth I was disgusted by the entire "offensive" against Hezzbollah since it killed so many people and I was disgusted by the missles used by Hezzbollah since it too killed people EVEN THOUGH there were less killed on Isreali side than on Lebanese side.
In fact, I was so disgusted that I discontinued reading about it and I only saw brief coverage on television.
I'm not for either side. Maybe it is because I am a relatively young woman, but the whole matter stinks to me.,
I mean, here we have grown men and women fighting each other over what can only be perceived as land. Oh I know two soldiers were kidnapped. But doesn't Israel kidnap people also. Or kidnap them, calling it an arrest! And was it worth it that so many died, for two soldiers. Was it?
It is ALL so fruitless
And so here we are. We apparently haven't learned a thing about wars and so-called "offensives" and more wars and people dying needlessly, relentlessly.
Grown people.
Fighting.,
and they call themselves intelligent.
Both sides are vioilent. Both of them

They are good when it comes to getting the " unbias media" to see things their way and against Israel.
Sadly many people believe it when the terrorist are shown to be the ones who have been wronged.

Children will fight, esp siblings.
---These children of Abraham (Isaac and Ishmael) are fighting; they have been fighting for thousands of years. Ishmael kicked Isaac to start a fight and Isaac turned around and smacked the poopoo out of him. Ishmael started crying cause Isaac hit him so hard that now his nose is bleeding and then Grown-ups hear and come to investigate. "Whats going on in here?", we ask. We see Ishmael's nose bleeding. Isaac says, "He started it." Now, Isaac is in trouble for being too rough with his little brother. Ishmael did start the fight of course knowing he would probably get hit in the nose, even hoping he would so he could sit on Mommy's lap and cry about what a big ole meanie Isaac is. "There, there now. Its alright now." she says. "ISAAC, GO TO YOUR ROOM!!!"

Grown-ups should be able to discern the truth.
---The western media should be asking the hard questions but often are not savy to what is really going on.

The media always goes to the site of the most damage.. they look for human suffering and sympathy for the victims of war and they tend to make the victors look lousy for winning... Israel stood strong again, kicked a little a$$ in fact, and that's what really matters in dealing with wackos.

But yeah, I wish they'd, (the media,) get it right one of these times.
