Is this another anti-Israeli, pro-Hezbollah propaganda piece<\/a> disgusted<\/strike> disguised as news?<\/p>\n

Israeli commandos have struck deep into Lebanon, snatching five suspected Hezbollah guerrillas in a helicopter raid that spectacularly snubbed international pressure for an end to the three-week-old conflict.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

struck deep into Lebanon<\/b> = “The Israelis are really violating Lebanese sovereignty now.”<\/p>\n

spectacularly snubbed<\/b> = “The Israelis are still thumbing their nose at too many of us.”<\/p>\n

while Hezbollah resumed raining rocket fire on Israel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hezbollah resumed<\/b> = “They were provoked by the Israelis.”<\/p>\n

Israel had called a 48-hour partial halt to air attacks after a raid on the Lebanese village of Qana on Sunday which killed 52 civilians, most of them children.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

after a raid<\/b> = “The Israelis did the Qana thing (and don’t bother us with what the new media<\/a> is reporting about Hezbollah’s cold-blooded staged event).”<\/p>\n

killed…civilians<\/b> = “Who else but Israelis would kill non-combatants — you know, regular people like you, dear reader? These Jews obviously don’t know how to wage a war in a civilized way (and don’t harass us with the preposterous notion that Hezbollah fighters are dressing as civilians and operating from among civilians).”<\/p>\n

children<\/b> = “Killing harmless civilians living in their own homes out of their own free will is terrible enough, but this is beyond savagery. And we reject the outlandish anti-Arab idea that Hezbollah is callously using children and women as hostages, human-shields, and propaganda pieces.”<\/p>\n

Local police said the Israelis snatched five people in the raid<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

people<\/b> = “Just like you, these are civilians — not warriors, not terrorists, not Hezbollah. I’m telling you, someone needs to restrain these Israelis!”<\/p>\n

That’s enough of that.<\/p>\n

Am I being cynical or bothered or mocking or suspicious?<\/p>\n
