2. Clever...

...it is so funny to see the destruction of Lebanon! :eyes:

On edit: even better...paint the Israelis as the "enemy" and make them to butt of your joke, at the expense of the innocents lost in this conflict.

[Wonk]

4. K&R, because I don't think it's funny at all. nt

[Behind the Aegis]

7. Of course not...it doesn't make fun of dead Israelis!

[CuteNFuzzy]

19. totally uncalled for response

[DemforNagin]

21. Hey Hizbullah, you missed one!!!

Israeli women - check
Israeli children - check
Civilian markets - check
Civilian schools - check
Civilian transportation - check
IDF -


That actually works much better...

5. Does that mean...

You'll actually condemn the IDF's use of cluster munitions, WP, and the targeting of ambulances?

[Behind the Aegis]

6. Does that mean you think the OP is funny?

[Dead_Parrot]

10. I think it's a painful truth.

Depends how black your sense of humour is. Now what's your answer to my question?

[Behind the Aegis]

12. I think it is sad you find this funny.

The destruction of ambulances and other "purely" civilian targets is a shame!

[Dead_Parrot]

13. So you will condemn the IDF's actions, then? nt

[Behind the Aegis]

14. With the attacks on the ambulances...yes.

Will you condemn the actions of Hizb'allah?

[Dead_Parrot]

17. Of course I will.

They're a bunch of murdering arseholes, and I'd like to see the lot of them lined up against a wall and shot, to be honest. Launching missiles at random civilians? Fuck 'em.

What worries me is the IDF seem to be using that as an excuse to behave in exactly the same way. They are supposed to be the high-tech military of a western democracy - which means you can't blow a bus-load of kids up, even if it does make you feel better.

Edit: And the cluster bombs and WP?

[Meshuga]

15. The OP

is meant to be funny. I also think it is sad that people can find fun in the suffering of others.

[Dead_Parrot]

18. Gallows Humour.

This isn't actually funny:



And neither is this:



I have a daughter: Seeing that poor Lebanese girl lying dead on the side of the road after the IDF hit the bus she was in breaks my heart. And there are dozens of girls just like her - on both sides of the border - in this pointless war. If I cry any more I'll go insane: So I'll laugh, darkly, whenever I can.

20. It's known as black humor -- it's not making light of anything n/t

3. Must be taking lessons from Bushco...

BUSHCO TARGET LIST:

Tinpot dictator? Check.
Tens of thousands of innocents? Check.
Civil liberties at home? Check.

Taliban? Check... no, wait... they're back.
Osama? Umm...

8. You forgot this.... for this thread I mean.....

[liberal N proud]

9. So is the bu$h regime telling Israel what to bomb?

Hitting everything but what you claim your target is, sounds like the bu$h regimes plan when attacking Iraq.

11. Firepower versus brainpower

<snip>

"Two weeks after Israel set out to defeat Hezbollah, its military achievements are pretty limited. A country that stood up to seven Arab nations in the War of Independence, a war of the "few against the many," with an army that pulverized the invading forces of three Arab nations in the span of six days, is now facing an embarrassing role reversal: a war of the "many against the few" in which Israel is on the floorboards.

Who would have believed that a guerrilla organization with a few hundred regular fighters, something like a brigade and a half, could paralyze half a country, firing off hundreds of missiles every day? A total of 2,200 by Sunday morning, says the defense minister. Who would have believed that cities like Safed, Acre, Nahariya, Tiberias and especially Haifa, the capital of the North, would wake up every morning to the sound of sirens and deadly rocket fire that would turn tens of thousands of people into refugees and shut down life in a large part of the country? And that's even before Hezbollah has tried to use its long-range missiles on Tel Aviv.

Who would have believed that the Israel Defense Forces, the army that is prepared for large-scale wars, that Iran fears will attack its nuclear facilities, that can drop 23 tons of bombs in a single night, is incapable of stopping Hezbollah's missile fire? How is that as soon as the IDF announces Hezbollah's TV station has been bombed, Hassan Nasrallah pops up in blooming health to continue his taunts against us?

Israel went to war with the goal of wiping out Hezbollah, a hostile militia operating on its border, in response to provocation and the kidnapping of soldiers made possible by the sluggishness and routine that has become widespread in the IDF in recent months. It did so with international backing, with President Bush leading the pack, and the support of most Israeli citizens.

Bush and the public assumed that the army knew what it was doing, and that Israel, with its superiority in manpower, weaponry and technology, would be able to put an end to Hezbollah as a menace to Israel. Little by little, however, a worrying picture has begun to emerge: Instead of an army that is small but smart, we are catching glimpses of an army that is big, rich and dumb."
