Confederate Yankee has an email from an Israeli sergeant. It gives a slightly different perspective than what the wire services are giving out. He also has a bit more on the reasons for the coverage being as skewed as it has been here.
You might really want to take a look at these posts before you simply buy in to the MSM storylines on – well – just about anything to do with war. Especially if Israel is involved. Or the US.
Yes, lebanese reports exaggerate the number of civilian casualties.
On the other hand, israeli reports try to diminish it.
I think the real number is well below the one reported by Lebanon and well over reported by Israel.
But then, I bet we won’t know the truth, ever.
It will just happen a day that after a big loud boom, the whole area will go deadly-silent.
I don’t want to be upwind when Israel fires his nukes, while Hezbollah blows up Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem.
