They have finally gotten the Hasbara (i.e. PR game) down. Every speaker I see on TV is a native English speaker and they are hammering the points home.
2. If you are a lover of freedom, peace, and democracy, you'd better hope that Israel totally annihilates Hizbollah (article on Hizbollahland)
3. How I would solve the Hizbollah problem
- drop leaflets saying that everyone within 25 miles of the border should evacuate
- employ a 'scorched earth' policy and napalm/burn everything down. Let the enemy have no cover. (Yes, I know the Apocalypse Now quote)
- do what the Romans allegedly did to Carthage and salt the entire area.
- Announce a policy of "planned retaliation". For every 1 rocket that is fired at us, we'll fire 5 back at you.
- Bring back targeted assassinations.
4. I'm sick and tired of moral equivalence. How is it possible that Hizbollah's deliberate rocket attacks on civilians is the same thing as Israel's efforts to attack Hizbollah's military targets (deliberately situated in civilian areas to create a defensive shield and serve as PR fodder when civilians are killed.)?
Note: I see the same moral equivalence at play in terms of the penalties5. CNN is far from "the most trusted name in news." I'll take FOX any day, thank you.
