Strangely enough, the two pics look exactly the same!

Didn't Bush use the same pic to "prove" Iraq had WMDs?

Come on now. It's obvious that Australia stole that picture from Hezbollah!

The woman in the photo kept showing up in Reuters photos a few weeks ago; she was allegedly grieving that her home had just been destroyed.

What else do you expect from Hezbollah? They did hit an Israeli ship so naturally they would claim they sunk it to try and show their people they gave as much damage as they took.

I wonder why Hezbollah are refusing to say how many men they've lost during the war.

Oh wow, this totally shakes my faith is Hizbollah.

Seriously, this is like the least evil thing that they do, can we try to focus on the really evil shiat that they do?

elchip: B... b... but Hizballah is honest and the Israelis are the ones who are evil!

Did anyone actually say this or anything close?

I thought the general consensus was that both sides lie all they can get away with. The Hizbollah just have it easier, because there's less international media in Lebanon.

Go Israel. Screw Mooooslims and the carpets they ride.
Start the damn war back up only this time do it like the Jews of the past. Not like the US in Iraq. Quit worrying about the "collateral" damage. Kick some ass! Use Nukes if necessary!

I lowld, skinnik. WHo cares what Hezbollah has to say? They aren't interested in anything but the destruction of Israel. This photo must one of the examples czarangelus has of Israels crushing defeat to Hezbollah.

That's farkin' hilarious. That woman has been identified as a plant, having appeared distraught in a number of different Reuters photos. Apparently some photographer drove her around town and had her pose in front of several demolished buildings, claiming all were her home.

Hmm, need the rescuers recovering each other's bodies, child's toy in the foreground, and the dead baby to show up several times in the same photo.

No, no, no - you got it all wrong.

That's an Israeli soldier murdering an innocent child for absolutely no reason at all - thereby justifying the necessity of the brave freedom fighters desperately and heroically struggling against the imperial evils of israel ....

Lost my train of thought, but you can celarly see where that was going...

The second most famous pix from the V-war. The most famous: girl running down the road naked.

Seems to me, in a news story (could be wrong, just in case of the accuracy nazis), both live in the US now.

That's easy: zero. Because the Israelis target and kill nothing but civilians.

elchip: I can think of about half a dozen people who regularly post on these threads, but it's frowned upon to name names when they're not in the thread.

I guess it takes all kinds of crazies. I haven't been paying much attention to this story, so I guess I just assumed people were using common sense. Not the smartest thing to assume on these internets I suppose.

The zionists went back in time and orchestrated the decommissioning of this australian ship on purpose to match the destruction of their oppressive zionist rights destroyer jew ship by the muslim jihadis! Just to discredit the brave fighters of hezbollah, and to a lesser extent all the unintentionally brave school children they hide behind.

Will these jews stop at nothing?
