I'm sure it won't take long for Mr. Hajj to catch on at Al-Jazeera.

I can't help but laugh at that lady who keeps getting her house(s) blown up.

The original: houses and smoke



The fabricated one: houses and smoke

Of course he already has.

And the pajamahedeen are looking at his Qana coverage.

Are we going to rehash the entire other thread over here?

Which just goes to show that no one has any respect for authority anymore. I tell you, the world is going to hell in a handbasket and nobody is willing to wake up and smell the roses.

I just hope I get to get married. That means we only have to last another 6 weeks or so. I might get lucky!

Maggie, you might as well just make that quote your sig, you use it so much..

It's only on a small fraction of my total postings. The current sig has wider applicability. The McLuhan quote just fits the threads you're paying the most attention to at the moment.

Hello and welcome tjauh - I'm afraid I don't get your point. I'm assuming these photos are real (I don't have the eye for photoshopping that other Cellarites do) but if that is the case then why post them in a thread about fakes?

No-one here is denying that people are being killed, buildings are being bombed. The issue here is the verifiable manipulation of some photos by some photographers, mislabelling and inaccuracies.

Hmmm, all these pics are fakes. The casualties are actors, the cars are destroyed because they have leaking gaz tanks and the houses are destroyed because of gas leaks, easy to see...

Check this Report and tell me were are the Fraudulant photos.....

Yet another footsoldier in the infowar.

You know, it's an exceptionally poor counterargument to staged/exaggerated/manipulated/misattributed photos to offer more photos.

Showing pictures of dead babies with no context at all is a different sort of propaganda technique than altering images. But it's certainly a propaganda technique.

And if it's effective,

it

will

produce

more

and

more

dead

babies.

And frankly that's the lesson of the manipulations. If the photos can't be manipulated any longer, we will - inevitably - see more unmanipulated photos of dead babies.

German video shows Hezbollah "stage managing" rescue scene

You can see them pulling a dead child OUT of an ambulance, putting it on a different stretcher, directing the photographer to keep filming and others to clear the shot so they can get "better images".

Well done tjauh, you created the conditions for that to happen. Proud?

One can ask, what if these children were still alive?

Then they should be getting medical treatment, not display treatment in front of photographers.

Indeed if they can pass the bombed bridges and roads...

...like those used by the photographers to get into the zone an hour previously.

On The Virtues of Killing Children

This essay asks a logical turn-around inside the horrifying question of whether to bomb when children may die.

"...It is best that we bomb without fear."

Her eyes grow wide. "You are mad," she says.

"Not so," I answer. "Consider: when the enemy seeks to kill our child to motivate us to surrender to his will, is it not because he believes that the danger to the children will move our hearts?"

"It is," she must agree.

"And when he hides among children," I add, "why? Children do little to deflect artillery. Must it not be because he knows that we -- we ourselves -- fear for the children, even his children?"

She nods, silently.

"Then it is proven," I say. "It is our love of these innocents that endangers them. If we did not care if children died, they would be in little danger."

It goes on.

Somebody needs to post pics of some dead Israeli children, so that we can hurry up and move right along to the "they started it first" finger-pointing.

Oh, no. Israeli children don't die. Only Lebanese. I thought you were smarter than that, 'spode. *shakes head in dismay*

Good thing Hzblh doesn't use human shields or things would be worse.

I wonder where I might find out the materials cost of one filled sandbag?

This is the Hezbollah valuation of one Lebanese life. The Hezbollah strategy is one that consists entirely of crimes against humanity.

They will, uh, avoid acknowledging that point.

Let's see: Google tells me poly sandbags can be gotten as cheaply as $.03/bag (std size 14 x 26 inches) for poly and $.07/bag for burlap.
