Disproportional reporting (or: how about the OTHER side of the story?)

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Friday, September 1. 2006 07:31
What do we not see much of in the press? Well, for starters, we don't see much of the suffering of the Israeli people at the hands of Hezbullah's unguided anti-personnel rockets! Sure, reporters give us excuses like, "Israel's damage to Lebanon was greatly unproportional to the damage done to Israel, so we have to cover Lebanon," but is such a position really logical? The fact of the matter is, the Israeli government has taken many steps to ensure the safety of its people, something which has long been established as the central role of governments. On the other hand, the Lebanese government has done nothing in southern Lebanon, other than turning the entire area over to terrorists who are more than happy to use the public as their shield!

With that in mind, here's the first detailed report I've seen on the damage caused to Israel by Hezbullah's unguided rockets (a "rocket" being a "missile" without a guidance system). Note that weapons like this are wholly unable to determine what they're striking, making it impossible to tell whether you're hitting a civilian target or not.

Hat tip to reader captfish for the article!

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
