Israeli spin on Lebanon war and the 'word laundry' that is the
mainstream media
By Uri Avnery
' ... when heavy battles were raging in Lebanon, the media spoke
about "exchanges of fire". The cowardly Hassan Nasrallah was "hiding"
in his bunker, while our brave Chief-of-Staff was directing operations
from his underground command post (nicknamed "the hole"). The
chicken-hearted "terrorists" of Hizbullah were hiding behind women and
children and operating from within villages, quite unlike our Ministry
of Defense and General Staff which are located in the heart of the
most densely populated area in Israel.
Our soldiers were not captured in a military action, but "abducted"
like the victims of gangsters, while our army "arrests" the leaders of
Hamas. Hizbullah, as is well known, is "financed" by Iran and Syria,
quite unlike Israel, which "receives generous support" from our great
friend and ally, the United States.'
