Never mind the WMD's, Israel can't even beat Hezbollah on the
conventional field of battle. They're burned out tanks are now the
playground and training ground of a new generation of people who will
fight the apartheid fascists toe to toe.

I'm sure you think that's true because, well, because you're you. But
the best thing the Arabs can claims is that it took Israel more than
six days this time, and they're not used to that. And the field of
battle is hardly conventional; it's mainly in civilian populated areas.
Moreover, you may feel that tanks are a greater barometer of loss than
human lives, but, as I've stated, you're you.

Ah yes, it can't be denied that the IDF killed lots more civilians in
ratio to battlefield fighters than Hezbollah did, but well, that's the IDF
for you.

You really can't tell who among the so-called civilians which ones were
fighters hiding between the civilians and which ones were actually
civilians, but suffice it say that more Hezbollah fighters died than
did members of the IDF, even in proportion.
