BEIRUT, Lebanon, Aug. 15, 2006. As stunned Lebanese returned Tuesday over broken roads to shattered apartments in the south, it increasingly seemed that the beneficiary of the destruction was most likely to be Hezbollah.Here’s how I would like the Times to present their headline and story for this piece: Terrorist Organization Funnels Money from Thugs to Country Whose Destruction They Caused. Yeah, my title’s too long, not as catchy. It represents the truth, but hey, I can’t stop the Times from propping up another hooligan.
What the Times will never emphasize is this: YESHIVA WORLD NEWS, Blog Archive, The Katushya rocket totals:
Israeli Police have reported that, since the beginning of the war, a total of 3,970 rockets landed on Israel, 901 of them in urban areas. 2,015 people were hurt in the various attacks, 1,318 of them victims of shock. 52 civilians have been killed. Forty people are still being treated for very serious injuries. More than a thousand rockets landed in the Kiryat Shmona area, 808 rockets landed near Nahariya, 471 near Tzefas, 176 near Carmiel, 106 near Akko, 93 in the Chaifa vicinity and 81 near Tevereya.The question always remains, if a murderous goon does good deeds, is he transformed into a saint? Apparently so. Never mind that the $10,000 that Hezbollah now gives each needy family in Lebanon is blood money. Yes, Israel comes out of all this looking bad. They could have waged a cleaner, more effective war if they’d have sent in massive ground troops, and accepted heavier casualties. This is what you get when you put a liberal in charge of a war effort. Yes, Olmert is a liberal, and he fought a liberal-style war, full of negotiations and hesitations, and a cease-fire helpful to the enemy.
Hezbollah, though, is the new model terrorist. Slaughter babies. Invite the destruction of a country. Then, come in as the hero, beaming, hands outstretched with greenbacks. Reminds me of the Godfather movies, or the Sopranos. Don Corleone and Tony Soprano are beloved characters, not only with their beneficiaries, but also with audiences, even me. I love these guys. But not in real life. Real life Don Corleone’s and Tony Soprano’s I despise. I can’t get over the bloody horses’ heads and the whacked nephews. With Hezbollah, I can’t get over the indiscriminate hurling of Katushyah rockets into the living rooms of young mothers and gurgling infants.

Rock, we dont agree on much of anything but here we have some common ground. Isreal has was attacked by a terrorist organiztion backed by international terrorist dollars and must for the sake of its people eliminate this threat on its borders, and the fact that Hezbollah has taken hold in legitimate Lebanese govenment only makes the situation worse and that the perils of Lebanon can be placed sqarely on the feet of the Lebanese people. Oh and we both agree that Jewish women in the IDF are yummy.
