A few posts down under the heading "One picture is worth a thousand lies" I pointed you all to the site 'eureferendum' and congratulated them on showing up the clever (diabolically clever?) propoganda of Hezbollah. I was taken to task by the usual suspects, 'NIB', 'Carry On', 'Planeshift', 'Larry Teabag', 'Bob' and 'Peacenik', all of whom refused to accept that anything untoward had occurred and that the still photographs could be interpreted in all sorts of ways. Well, bless their pink(ish) cotten socks the lads at Harry's Place have come up with a movie under the heading "Child Abuse" showing 'our hero', 'Blue Helmet', in his true light. Watch and admire (because it is clever stuff that fools most people most of the time, especially fools!) but try not to throw up!
I think you owe me an apology, David. Have another look at my comment and tell me if it is accurately represented by your strawman summary. I was answering Andy M's ridiculous "rhetorical" question about the "self-evident fact" Hizbullah's use of Lebanese civilians as human shields, and pointing out that Human Rights Watch have found no evidence of any such thing. At no point did I refuse to "accept that anything untoward had occurred" or state "that the still photographs could be interpreted in all sorts of ways".
For the record, though, I think that there is plenty in the Qana situation that is untoward, not least the corpses of those children, the innocent victims of Israeli bombs, more than half of which were disabled. No amount of Hizbullah propaganda can change that uncomfortable fact.

I see the point still evades you, David.
Tell me - where did the clip on Harry's Place come from?

I now realise how utterly wrong I was. There are no dead civilians in Lebanon. It was all a result of the eeeeeeeevill propaganda by the islamolamolamolamofascists. A few buildings in beruit may have collapsed due to faulty construction, and a few lebanese children may have suffered minor cuts and bruises as a result of playing outside in a war zone. But move along...nothing to see here.

I'll see your Green Helmet video and I'll raise you the Israeli military shooting at unarmed protesters:
