Deserving of Blame

If the kids were dead, but Hezbollah made sure the lighting was right, what's the problem? If the kids were mannequins, that's a problem. If the "rescue worker" was really a long-time Hezbollah veteran, but Israeli bombs killed a lot of civilians, were the pictures so misleading? I'm not saying the photos were categorically OK, but lots of things are "staged".

how many photos of dead Israeli kids are we seeing?
You're suggesting that Israeli's PR is not as competent as the IDF?

In a lot of countries other than our own, it is fairly routine to see graphic pictures of the victims of war. We didn't see many dead Iraqi citizens in 2002 and 2003 -- does that mean they weren't dying?

you realize Hezbollah is actually aiming at Israeli citizens right?
Does saying stupid shit and not reading work for you in the practice of law?
