Michael Totten - A dispatch from Hezbollah's target of choice
Perry de Havilland (London)  Middle East & Islamic

Michael Totten has another interesting and well illustrated dispatch from Northern Israel, describing the situation in Kiryat Shmona, which took the brunt of Hezbollah's Katyusha rocket attacks.

Comments

Permit me to suggest that visitors hit Michael's tipjar, too. It's very nice having ME photo-journalism from non-terrorist-supporting stringers

But the Israeli reaction was NOT disproportionate. Where is the record of what was happening in the 6 years before all this?

And where is the record of the devastation on the Israeli side? Guess what, fewer deaths, just as much destruction, and why? because they built bunkers. Why didn't Hezbollah? Same as Lenin's thoughts, the more suffering, the more we will win in reaction!

Why on earth does the BBC not report BOTH sides? And it never does (sorry, occasionally on PM, on the radio).

Rosalind:

You don't want the Beeb to get yelled at by British Muslims for "insensitivity", if they report like that, now do you?
