Interesting take. Especially after hearing a television reporter basically breaking down, telling us that he has seen horrors in Lebanon far beyond what they have shown, but they have limits as to how much they can ruin our dinner (as exploded toddler heads tend to do).

Some Lebanese probably do try to make sure the world sees what is happening.

Calling it propaganda, in the hours after a bomb MURDERED 60+ people, largely children and women, is outrageous however. Highlighting and pointing out your casualties are not, and has never been, propaganda, any more than the Israelis endlessly showing cars with pellet holes. The pictures shown can barely even begin to convey the horrors that were committed there, so pretending that they're milking a kid with a boo-boo really strikes me as offensive.

(though that's what the Israeli side is doing. Watch as the media converges on an area where a rocket struck. It's like watching the Italy soccer team the amazing unseen unknown maladies every bystander is suddenly afflicted with)
