Has anyone anywhere in the WORLD seen a single Hizballah soldier/fighter?
What do these people look like? how are they armed? what do they carry? what do they wear? Boots? White shirts? Do they run fast? are they in great shape? do they paint their faces?...etc.

Have you noticed, not one single picture of any one of them anywhere on the planet? Not one dead body, not one injured being carried to a hospital.????

:wtf:

We saw similar pictures of Israeli soldiers.

Yet, we hear about HEAVY fighting, we hear about missiles being fired by the hundreds a day. Israeli soldiers can't take even the smallest towns...etc.?

All of this is very strange to me.

1. All I've seen of Hezbollah is in parades!
I suppose we don't see them in action or post action is because ONCE AGAIN THE MEDIA IS NOT THERE!

6. Well, it's sort of a review troops type "parade".
I see the same footage over and over of the "terrorists" marching in front of a reviewing stand....marching over painted American flags on the street....you've probably seen this and are just numb like most of us are. When will the insanity stop?

16. You haven't seen them because
they don't operate the same way as Hamas and Fatah do. They have a distinction between their civilian and military wings, they do not trust the press, they do not give away their identities, and they are very leery of collaborators. The story is detailed here by Mitch Prothero in Salon:
The "hiding among civilians myth" http://fairuse.100webcustomers.com/fairenough/salon025.html

2. Because as soon as they are injured or killed they become civilians.

4. There have been loads of pictures. Newsweek had one last week
They're pretty well-armed and look pretty dangerous to me. They're not a rabble with a bunch of old AK-47s, for sure.

12. LOL! Can't you read? Gore is "Hollywood", not Hizbollah.

;)

Edited to add — Of course the rightwingers think that "Hollywood" and "Hizbollah" are basically the same.
