DOCTORED WAR PHOTOS AT REUTERS

[betsy]

As far as Qana goes, I've even heard suggestions that Hezbollah were holding those people hostage in that apartment. There were rocket attacks from around those buildings (as was shown from satellite imagery on almost all the news sources) and Israel had told the people a day earlier to get out of town because the area would be attacked. The people stayed in the apartment building and there's speculation that Hezbollah would not allow them to leave. The suggestion is that the terrorists wanted these innocent civilians targeted, so they could gain public support.

Another report that I heard (I don't know if it's Qana), the Israelis had dropped leaflets telling people to evacuate the area since it is a target for bombing.

The terrorists have deliberately placed their positions in well-populated areas, in an attempt to use people as human shields, hoping for public support all over the world.

Why the double standard Black Dog

Rue, Black Dog is one giant steaming double standard. What you have to realize is that the photos were doctored in a way that's acceptable to Black Dog. If it was the other way around, then he may have a problem. But you can't take him seriously. He's affectionately known as Black Troll. Cause that's all he is now.

Why the double standard Black Dog. What gives you the divine and self-righteous presence to roll your eyes and belittle people but run to the moderator anytime someone says something sarcastic your direction? Which one is it. Do me a favour, before you roll your eyes, look in the mirror. You are not witty, funny, and no you do not have a monopoly on truth and so can openly engage on these posts as if you are in the know and everyone else is not.

I report posts to the moderator that violate forum rules. For example: strawmen arguments that put words in my mouth or groundless insinuations that I am an anti-semite. It's pretty simple: this is a discussion board and a good one. Chances are, you're going to encounter opinions you don't like. Feel free to engage them, but within the guidelines set down by the folks who run the show. If you violate the rules and get called on it, that's your fault. By the same token, if you feel a poster such as myself has violatesd those rules, then bt all means, turn the matter over to the mods. If any of the above is too much for you to handle, I'd humbly suggest you steer clear of forums wherein people might disagree with you.

The point is the photoes were doctored as were many others in the past and as many others will be in the future. That was the point before you decided to use it as an opportunity to be arrogant. And I say that rolling my eyes o.k.?

Obviously doctoring photos is wrong. However, these particular photos were doctored in a way that really did not significantly alter the content, thus I find the hysterical reaction a bit overblown. Hence the disdain for people who piss themselves at every little outrage when there are so many bigger outrages to contend with.

I'll let the moderators be the judge of who is a troll or not. If something I say gives you the vapours (which it appears to), there's a handy button below that allows you to report any post to them. So you can report me, you can ignore me or you can debate me (I'm just kidding about the last one: I know you can't handle it). But keep trolling me (which is exactly what the above post is) and I'll respond in a manner consistent with the forum rules.

And then they bomb convoys leaving these places. It's a no-win situation.

Here is an example of a man who has been working for Hezbollah doctoring images. He's known to many of us who have followed Hezbollah since its creation and he's typical of the propaganda arm of most terrorist cells who use people who are trained journalists and understand the media to use disasters to manipulate the press.

More propaganda captured on video. It's the notorious green helmet man (ie Hezbollah death pimp).
