70. Oh I think it's pretty clear that the civilians get killed and then the
Isrealis right wing propaganda machines says "we try not to kill them, but we can't help ourselves when terrorists use them as shields." Not in so many words, but it is clear that the "excuse" is that civilians use them as shields or "hide among them." How can they be "trying not to?" Just bombing the city isn't making the slightest effort to weed out Hezbollah from the civilians.

And I already know your answer to that, which is "how can Israel do that? It is impossible. Israel has no choice."

But I beg to differ when I know what kind of crap the CIA and its fellow agencies can do if they choose to. Which they could do against Al Qaeda as well. It's all just propaganda points for the masses. Surely there is a way, especially if they wanted to.

I'm starting to go with the cynics saying Israel just wants that river valley area.
