PANORAMA: Rubble is all that remains of much of Beirut's southern suburbs after a week of relentless Israeli airstrikes. Hezbollah, which still controls the area, allowed journalists to enter one neighborhood to take pictures. (Travis Fox/washingtonpost.com) »More Panoramas

1. K&R...

:(

2. How much longer

before there is no more Lebanon?

7. I doesn't matter, they're just Arabs - not like real Human Beings...

[DoYouEverWonder]

8. What the Israelis don't realize

in that in the eyes of the Rapture Ready Bushbots the Jews don't matter either.

[Dhalgren]

10. Right. The ruling power in the US just wants death.

As long as it is someone else's...

[malaise]

9. Well the IDF has told

residents of South Lebanon to get out of their homes because they're coming to kill anyone who remains. The nerve of these fugging evil men.:puke: :puke:

3. these pics really show the havoc that has occurred (but not the dead).

4. But..but..it's being done to "help" the Lebanese.

The same way that BushCo is "helping" Iraq.

[whistle]

5. Exactly how many Hezbollah militants and WMDs did Israel

...actually destroy in this carnage of Beruit residental and business neighborhoods?

11. That's a really good question.

Nasrallah and his reports may know the answer. If they do, they're not saying.

Instead they're saying to not bury the dead, lest the number of casualties they've taken be known. It trashes any attempt to produce a civilian:combatant kill ratio because we're told about civilian deaths (if they are all civilians) but not combatant deaths. However, the media and others continue to talk about one as though they actually had enough information; they don't think critically about what they're told when there's air time and newspapers to sell.

Little is known about what's going on in the south: Israel doesn't want anybody to know, Hezbollah apparently doesn't want anybody to know, and both are blocking reporters' access.

Much is known about what's going on in the north, but nobody cares. Power's on, water's flowing, and apart from some strikes, not much is happening. That's probably where Nasrallah (Allah's help) is hiding: if he's attacked, then Israelis are reported to be attacking Christians and Sunnis, and if he's not attacked, he's happy as a clam because of all the wonderful PR he's getting.

6. Surgical precision! A tribute to Israeli restraint! Olmert for the Nobel!!
