It Takes a Village

Ever notice the war reporting language from the BBC, CNN and Fox re: Hezbollah/Israel? E.g. when Israel was bombed by Katyusha rockets it was "town or city hit" (insert name of town) but when Lebanon/Hezbollah was hit they are "villages".

When Israelis are victims they say "Israeli soldier or Israeli woman or Israeli casualities", but when Lebanon has victims they're all "civilians" and "all women and children" -- where are all the men? All the soldiers and who is firing the rockets?

When you get the visual on the destruction, you see rubble, everywhere in southern Lebanon and see little in Israel. Israel sends its citizens into bunkers and Hezbollah sends their citizens...well, they're compatriots to...buildings.

I get the feeling one side wants to be viewed as victim and victor simultaneously and the other just wants to be left alone, to live.
