31. This is amazing as you point out.
Any mention of civilian deaths sustained by Israel and it's "Oh my, war is hell, they're all wrong. I just wish the killing stops."

Civilian deaths on the Lebanese side are "Innocents killed by neo-con Israeli fascists" - often by the same poster.

There's anothjer thread right now on doctored Reuters photos made to show damage from Israeli bombs in Lebanon as much larger than the original photo shows. These people were all over the MSM as liars before as over-dramatizing Israeli citizen deaths but now they're just trying to "adjust the perspective" on the photo.

These threads are a great example of how the human mind works psychologically to justify whatever emotionally held beliefs one holds. They are useless however in terms of intelligent political commentary. I really thought we were smarter than that on this side.
