The lies of Israeli propaganda (from NYT): "A week ago, Israeli officials said their military had knocked out up to half of Hezbollah’s rocket launchers and suggested that another week or two would finish the job of incapacitating the Lebanese militia. That talk has largely stopped. Hezbollah is still launching 100 rockets a day at Israel, nearly as many as it did at the start of the war. Soldiers return from forays into Lebanon saying the network of bunkers and tunnels is more sophisticated than expected. And Iranian-made long-range missiles apparently capable of hitting Tel Aviv remain in the Hezbollah arsenal. “Two weeks after Israel set out to defeat Hezbollah, its military achievements are pretty limited,” lamented Yoel Marcus, a columnist and supporter of the war, in the daily Haaretz on Tuesday. Israeli military commanders say they are not surprised. The struggle is so difficult, they say, because Hezbollah is an organized, well-trained and well-equipped force and is fighting hard. “Hezbollah is organized more like an army than the Palestinian militias, and they are supported with some of the best weapons systems that Iran and Syria have,” said Yaakov Amidror, an Israeli major general, now in the reserves, who headed the research and assessment branch of Israeli military intelligence." I really really never thought that I would live to see Israeli war propaganda becoming more dumb and more stupid than Arab Nasserist propaganda during 1967. Read the above and judge. But my favorite part is the last sentence: "with some of the best weapons systems that Iran and Syria have." Best weapons systems that Iran and Syria have? And Israel is talking? A country that receives the most up-todate weapons systems from the US considers the Soviet era weapons from the 1950s "best weapons system"?
