It's not unusual for armies to target their enemies' media outlets. Didn't NATO bomb the Serbian TV station that British Prime Minister Tony Blair described as part of Slobodan Milosevic's "apparatus of dictatorship?"

Efforts to delegitimize the Jewish state did not begin with this season's programming. Several years ago, Al-Manar aired a 30-part series called Knight Without a Horse based on a modern version of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It describes an alleged plot by Jewish leaders to take over the world. Although Western historians have proven that the book was produced by Russian Czar Nicholas' secret police in order to scapegoat the Jews, on Al-Manar it is reality TV.

And it doesn't end there. Al-Manar also aired a series called Al-Shatat (The Diaspora), a Syrian-produced program that portrays the origins of the Zionist movement using classic anti-Semitic libels. Jews are shown plotting to take over the world, kill Christian boys to drain their blood for Passover matzah, encourage Nazis to murder Jews in order to profit from their deaths and plot the use of atomic bombs on Japan.

After being in the bunkers for a few days.

And with 8 or 9 photographers there, egging them on. They were writing in English, for the sake of the ... Israelis? The English-speaking Lebanese?
