DO NOT BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD THEY SAY. The cultural conception of truth is different--what works is "true."

Why should the muslims tell the truth anymore than they did in the last Lebanese War. I remember so well how the Arafat Red Crescent inflated the number of deaths in order to gain the sympathy of the world against those terrible Israelis. Why should it be any different now? When the figures of their deaths come on I always suspect propaganda and lies and I immediately divide the number in half and in half again. Unhappily I can't do it for Israeli fatalities. I cry for each loss

I Presume..What does it matter???It matters a helleva LOT.The difference is SIR,that the rest of the "Bodies accounted for ,were brought in after the collapes of the Building ,which may I remind you Fell some 8 hours after the IDF Hit another building nearby..I suppose you as a "Doctor,did'nt notice how most of the Bodies were already in an advanced state of RIGORMORTIS;and very grey in coulor..Does this not say something to you...???ALSO THE WAY YOU PEOPLE AND THE red cross USED THIS SITUATION ?IS POSITIVELY SICKENING.THE MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT SHOTS OF THE SAME MAN MANIPULATING THE SAME BODY?OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR DIFFERENT POSES,AND EVERY TIME A NEW PICTURE WAS TAKEN IT WAS STATED THAT A NEW CHILDS BODY WAS FOUND?BUT LO AND BEHOLD IT WAS THE SAME MAN AND THE SAME POOR CHILD.OVER AND OVER AGAIN.I am not a DR,but one thing I'm sure of Bodies do not look like that ,after just a few hours.And also may I say to you HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH,MEMBERS. WHAT ABOUT ALL THE ISRAELI' KILLED BY THE HIZBOLLAH? WHERE ARE THEIR RIGHTS?TO-DAY 8 CIVILIENS WERE SLAUGHTERED BY YOUR FREEDOM FIGHTERS,WHERE IS YOUR VOICE FOR THE INNOCENT ISRAELI VICTIMES,OR DO ONLY THE LEBANESE CITIZENS MAY I STATE THAT 3/4 OF THE "SUPPOSED FIGURE ARE THOSE OF HIZBOLLAH TERRORISTS,QUALIFIY FOR THIS STATUS? ARE NOT THE ISRAELIS CITIZENS INNOCENT VICTIMS?LET ME REMIND YOU THAT IT IS NOT,A HABITUDE FOR THE IDF TO BOMB INNOCENT CIVILIENS?EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY THINK SO,BUT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN THE HIZBOLLAZ USES THE CIVILIENS AS HUMAN SHIELDS,?AND THIS YOU KNOW VERY WELL?TOO THAT THEY USE THESE AMBULANCES TO CARRY WEAPONS,IT WILL NOT BE THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS BEEN DONE BY THOSE YOU SO CALL INNOCENT CIVILIENS. TERROR FACTIONS SUCH AS THIS TERRIBLE CANCER WE CALL TO-DAY HIZBOLLAH ,HAVE MANAGED TO FOOL YOU THE UN,AND MOST OF THE WORLD,BUT KNOW ONE THING "DR" SMITH,THEY DO NOT FOOL THE ISRAELIS,THEIR SICK MANTALITY IS A PERFECT REFLECTION,OF THEIR EMPLOYERS IRAN AND SYRIA. SO WHAT THESE FRIENDS OF YOURS ARE DOING,NOT ONLY TO THE ISRAELIS,BUT TO INNOCENT CITIZENS THE WORLD OVER AMOUNTS TO WAR CRIMES,AND I ASSURE YOU,ISRAEL WILL PERSUE;THESE TERRORISTS NO MATTER WHERE EVEN LONG AFTER THE BOMBS OF YOUR ACCOLITES HAVE FALLEN. GOOD DAY TO YOU.HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH?????MY ASS

What about the loss of humanity of the terrorists, who bring in truck with missile launchers on them into civilian areas ON PURPOSE, knowing full well that there'd be a response to the location from which the missiles were launched? why not fire from outside the residental streets???--because the terrorists WANT civilian casualties among their own people!!! They want to create outrage and don't have a problem using women and children as shields. Cowards that they are.

im not sure i understand what the author of the article is trying to say. so please correctme if im wrong, so 60 dead lebanese children and women is a massacre but if the figure is actually revised to 28 ( whatever the reason is) it becomes justifiable?????? moral army and moral people right!!!!!!!!!!1

The photographers asked the girls, through an interpreter to write on the shells. They didn't know how to write in English, so the photographers asked some of the parents to. They were shown a clipboard which said "to Nasrallah with love" and wrote that on the shells. These kids are from poor families, and didn't know that they were being cynically manipulated by the scum who call themselves the British press.

for 2 kidnapped soldiers you destroy half a country, and displace 1 million shiites. For the killing of dozens of children, you deserve a PROPORTIONAL punishment. God is just, be it your God, or the Muslim's God, or the Christian's God

#34 Kate: Your response is exaggerated and plenty of victimism. #39 Boris: The "live shield" theory is not an excuse, it seems that that fact is a "passport" for killing people. Maybe it is you the one that does not understand how other countries solve their problems without escalating violence. I am in Madrid "having a good cup of coffee with croisson" because many people in my country understood the right way of solving problems. Like in Belgium, Canada, the UK and other "civilised countries" (at least now) #41 Smooth: I was talking about stopping deaths, not about the history of humanity. If my grandparents recalled barely 1% of Spanish history, they would be shooting one each other. Regards to all Francisco

You cannot sit and talk with somebody who wants to destroy you. It is not victimism, but real facts..

Hizbollah is a branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Their goals are to leave a ME free of Jews, to kill the Jews wherever they happen to be, to impose the sharia law in Lebanon and spread the Iranian revolution all around the ME and then to Europe. As for the pals, they are also committed to the destruction of Israel because they are part of the global jihad. Here you have hamas charter http://www.mideastweb.org/hamas.htm This is not a war for the pals to have a state, which they could have had long ago and always rejected. This is Muslims on jihad against the free world, not only Israel but all the West. Israel is on the frontline. So when people from the West criticises Israel's self defense, they are hurling stones at their own roofs.

Rumors go the zilzal yesterday DID fall inside Jenin and killed 20 civilians who were hastily buried as not to embarrash their hero Nasrallah, but I say, lets have an internation inquirty to Jenin Massacre 2!

I read rustum talkback and i cant help myself from cracking up. Just cause you quote some book does not make you right or even for that matter of the right side of the fence. You talk about that monkey in Iran like hes "misunderstood" Do you think even the UN is misundertood by him, since they gave him till august. The only people that are misunderstood are The poor "cicilians" in Lebanon they are being lied to and fooled by nasralahh, Irans inocents due to there leader they will be sent back to the stone age. And yes you rustum you somehow landed on present time you are from the dark ages. You have a brain the size of a raisin stop buying the books SON.

I sure hope the Indians in Canada dint read your talk back. Other wise you, your kids for that matter all the white people in Canada would get some kind of close haircut ehhhhh.

You are correct. It does not matter if it is 28 or 57! This is outright murder and the guilty is NOT ISRAEL! Let me assure YOU, the planting of dead bodies by Hezbollah days after their death in this place and the staging events will certainly come to light! These maggots have no sense of values or concern for human life, therefore they sacrificed disabled children and woman who they feel are expendable unless they are virgins of the afterlife. Time will truly tell the truth!

"And now the IDF has admitted that it made a mistake by using incorrect intelligence, yes this is war but when you blatently kill inoccent civillians," Well, which was it Doctor: a mistake caused by using incorrect intelligence or blatantly killing. Can't really have it both ways.

Get over yourselves. All the lies being published by the Israeli press - Netenyahu being a prime mover on Sky news in UK - and the established media are rot. The footage is out there, it has been seen around the globe. Many,many bodies were pulled out BEFORE the Red Cross got there. Julian Magnon for ITV had a superb report, as did Kylie Morris. For all of you neo-cons and Israelis thinking you can actually get away with such lies and black propoganda, it is too late. Unless you kill every hack wandering the destroyed streets of Lebanon, every Lebanese citizen with a camera phone, the footage will get out. I for one am thankful that it is thus, and that the backlash against Israeli agression and occupation is growing worldwide. As are the calls for a boycott of all Israeli goods. As PR exercises go, this one sure has screwed up for Israel.
