So, have you been keeping up with the war in Lebanon? Interesting, isn’t it, how the media isn’t sending out six thousand screaming headlines per day, plus all-news, all-the-time on cable stations—because it isn’t Israel involved. Funny how they keep on calling the aggressors “terrorists” too, isn’t it? (Well, okay, Reuters doesn’t, but other news services have.)
Two members of the Lebanese Red Cross were killed today, and another wounded, but there are not several thousand screaming headlines—because the IDF didn’t do it. In fact, I don’t know who killed them, because the article doesn’t say.
Four Lebanese soldiers and two relief workers were killed in fierce fighting on Monday between the Lebanese army and al Qaeda-inspired militants at a Palestinian refugee camp.
[…] Security sources said two members of the Lebanese Red Cross were killed and a third was wounded when they were hit by a shell. A military source said four soldiers were also killed in the fighting.
And note the matter-of-fact way the deaths of civilians are reported here, and remember what happens when a single civilian is killed by the IDF.
At least 136 people have been killed, including 60 soldiers, in three weeks of fighting, the worst internal clashes since Lebanon’s 1975-1990 civil war. Eleven soldiers died and more than 100 were wounded in battles at the weekend alone.
No. There’s no anti-Israel media spin. None at all. Why do you ask?
