Reply #198: It should sway any educated person

When we're talking about folks sick enough to strap bombs to their own children and turn them into anti-personnel weapons - and we are - then we have to discard the thinking that because you and I would never do such a thing that they too would also recoil in horror at the thought. I'd never strap a bomb to my children regardless of grievance, but the enemies of Israel do so routinely, and grotesquely celebrate it.

Please, tell me what is implausible about the idea of Hezbollah manufacturing the deaths of civilians on their own sides by using them as unwilling human shields. Where do you think these missiles are being fired from? Hezbollah has no formal military bases, it is using the very same schools and hospitals it wins such plaudits for building to store its rockets and to expose the local citizenry to retaliation for exactly this kind of propaganda purpose. Hezbollah is not like Israel, it does not care whether the civilians on its side live or die.
