From YNetNews:
The IDF has found that Hizbullah is preventing civilians from leaving villages in southern Lebanon. Roadblocks have been set up outside some of the villages to prevent residents from leaving, while in other villages Hizbullah is preventing UN representatives from entering, who are trying to help residents leave. In two villages, exchanges of fire between residents and Hizbullah have broken out. (Hanan Greenberg)

Kim, Hamas, Hizbollah, and Hezbollah are Arabic for Party of Cowards.

Neocon
How Quaint, the “men” of Allah, is/are hiding behind Burka’s –
Well, Michael Moore would call them ‘Minutemen’; since it only takes them a minute to hide behind children and shoot indiscriminately.
I’m sure Muslim Unity has an excellent peace=loving explanation.
Lee would simply nuke these civilians and get on with the deplomacy through the U.N. Resolution 359695.
Lee? You have four kids? What did they say when daddy started to become another mommy?
Let’s see. That’s against

Oh, right! Silly me… these actions are being taken by the GOOD guys, Hamas and Hezbollah, not those nasty IDF guys or the US military! So it’s all okay! They can do this, and nobody will say a thing! But if there were a glimmer of a hint of a rumor of a possibility that the IDF or the US military was doing this, you’d see busloads of reporters in a death race on the highway to get there and cover it first.
“Well, Michael Moore would call them ‘Minutemen’; since it only takes them a minute to hide behind children and shoot indiscriminately.”
No differnce in how the DRats use children to score points. Same cowardice with a huge dose of fraud.
jllawson , I think you did it . I think Lady Lee’s head just exploded with that post.
Well, that wasn’t quite my purpose…
You know what really torques me off? The fact that there’s only side which MUST conform to the Geneva convention, which MUST adhere to every word, comma, colon, and semicolon in the Accords or else face swift condemnation in the world press… And the other side gets a pass. Oh, MAYBE they’ll get a nastygram from Amnesty International or some other NGO – but it’ll be worth about as much as the paper it’s written on. The international media couldn’t care less if Hezbollah was slaughtering Lebanese women and babies and piling them up to serve as fighting positions – the script is that these are the good guys, the ‘freedom fighters’, the heroes you’re supposed to root for, damnit!
Yet they behave in ways that’d have them up in front of a tribunal for war crimes – and they get a pass. There’s something pretty screwed up about that. The Geneva Accords are supposed to apply to and be abided by BOTH sides in a conflict.
I’d like to see some independent verification of this story. Has anyone seen it? This is a three-line story attributed to the IDF. As despicable as Hezbollah is, this is not their modus operandi and would subvert their own objective to appeal as populists. After hearing these rumors of prisoners getting transferred to Iran, Iranian agents firing missles, etc., time for verification. Otherwise, there remains the distinct possibility that this story is part of an excellent disinformation campaign as is expected in any military campaign.

Wachoo smokin, McCain? They are Arabs, and they are islamists. Being an Arab, islamist “populist” means doing exactly that. Being an American populist doesn’t.
Hiding behind civilians, indeed, recruiting civilians, even children, into your weapon supply-chain, is noble. …if you’re an Arab. Recruiting children to do your fighting for you is noble. …if you’re a Palestinian Arab.
Remember who you’re talking about.
rw, I take it that you don’t have independent verification of this story, which I haven’t seen anywhere either. About your general comments, surely there is a grain of truth in your view, but overall it is a false view. Hezbollah’s mission is the destruction of Israel. Toward that end, they have normally historically marked military targets rather than civilian targets in Israel, although that is changing this week. Your comments about Hamas’ methods would be more accurate (except for the populism part.)

Sure. As long as by “military target” you mean what they mean.
If you’re talking about a group of people who believe that a chair is called “table” and you don’t use the terms they use the way they use them, then you’re commiting equivocation.
Simply stated, they (Hezbollah) target innocent civillians and use them to achieve?? well, nothing actually..
