What’s news about it is that they put it in their headline: Hezbollah accused of cluster use
Then the backpedalling begins . . .
The Israeli Arab village of Mghar was hit several times in the war
Both Hezbollah and Israeli forces fired cluster munitions during the recent conflict in Lebanon, according to the group Human Rights Watch.
The Islamist militant movement used far fewer cluster weapons than Israel, HRW says, with only two strikes confirmed.They were the first known deployments of a Chinese-made Type-81 rocket anywhere in the world, the group says.
Israel has been heavily criticised for its extensive use of cluster weapons around civilian areas in Lebanon.
By whom, I wonder?
Still, to have the BBC headline it this way is remarkable. So, call me cynical, but I wonder might it have anything to do with this?
Nah. Whom do I think I’m defecating?
Speaking of news organizations I’d like to cluster bomb…
I will type slow so everyone can understand.
DON’T THEY KNOW THERE IS A WAR GOING ON?
I saved that from 1944, just knowing I would need it again sometime.
”…In the News this morning – BBC experts in Clusterfuck journalism discuss Cluster bombing…. in other news…”
BBC Accuses Hezbollah of Cluster-Bombing Dan Collins???
“You bastards!”
Hope you’re okay, man.
TeacherDave,
They’ve had it in for me forever. I’ll be more careful about bomblets from now on, but I’m still pissed at the Chinese. I’ll have to check out your site in more depth, but it looks very interesting.
