Media Ignores Hezbollah Tactics

The BBC reports that "Israeli Troops 'Ignored' UN Plea," while failing to mention that the mainstream media is ignoring Hezbollah's dirty tactics. The article refers to a bomb that hit a UN post in Lebanon.

UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon contacted Israeli troops 10 times before an Israeli bomb killed four of them, an initial UN report says.

The post was hit by a precision-guided missile after six hours of shelling, diplomats familiar with the probe say...

The four unarmed UN observers from Austria, Canada, China and Finland, died after their UN post in the town of Khiam was hit by an Israeli air strike on Tuesday.

However, quotes Michelle Malkin:

Jed Babbin explains: "The U.N.'s years-long record on the Israel-Lebanon border makes mockery of the term "peacekeeping." On page 155 of my book, "Inside the Asylum," is a picture of a U.N. outpost on that border. The U.N. flag and the Hezbollah flag fly side by side. Observers told me the U.N. and Hezbollah personnel share water and telephones, and that the U.N. presence serves as a shield against Israeli strikes against the terrorists. "

Malkin also quotes Charles Johnson:

It was also reported that Hezbollah fired from the vicinity of four UN positions at Alma ash Shab, Tibnin, Brashit, and At Tiri. All UNIFIL positions remain occupied and maintained by the troops.

It looks like the terrorists are doing what they have always done: hiding behind the innocent in an attempt to curb the retaliation of their enemies. It is reminiscent of Saddam and the PLO hiding ammunition in schools and fighters in mosques.

There will be innocent causalities in any war, but the fact that Hezbollah and Hamas try to increase the number of innocent deaths should be enough to get the world community, especially the UN, off of their butts and into the battlefield.
