The utter Depravity of Hiding behind Women and Children

Alexandra von Maltzan is the very talented creator of the highly unique, simultaneously gorgeous, darkly haunting, and extremely insightful blog All Things Beautiful -- which truly has to be seen to be appreciated.

Today she focuses her attention, commentary and artwork on hard intelligence (video evidence, amongh other things) that Hezbollah is beyond the shadow of a doubt purposefully using Lebanese innocents as unwitting (and often forced) human shields for their assaults on Israeli population centers--only to then bring in Al Jazeera and their willing allies in the Western MSM later to photograph the carnage and all gory details of the same dead Lebanese innocents after Israel strikes back at the launch platforms within these inhuman civilian hostage "firebases".

When hard evidence is found as to the true nature of these sociopathic monsters in Hezbollah, it is important to get that information out so the public can understand why it is important to support the Israelis in this fight (and they also could use a bit more knowledge as to the extent of Iran's involvement in their actions...)

Alexandra comments today on the increasing body of evidence as to the insidious and inhuman nature of our Hezbollah adversaries, who in the name of their God, willingly force innocent men women and children to be slaughtered to foward their Islamo-Nazi world view. And be sure and visit All Things Beautiful--I think the more you go there, the more you will find it to be one of the most unique blogs in the blogosphere. I'm glad Alexandra is on our side. From today's post "Grapes of Wrath Revisited":

Finally, the damning images that prove that Hezbollah terrorist militiamen dressed in civilian clothes, who seem to have gathered an inordinate amount of support in Lebanon, have indeed been using civilian, mostly Christian neighborhoods as shields against Israeli attacks, and hiding and using weapons in a densely populated area.

The exclusive photographs smuggled out of Lebanon, were obtained by the Australian News Ltd. and published by their Sunday Mail here, and Sunday Herald Sun here. Why am I not surprised...

The Melbourne man who smuggled the shots out of Beirut told yesterday how he was less than 400m from the block when it was obliterated.

``Hezbollah came in to launch their rockets, then within minutes the area was blasted by Israeli jets,'' he said.

``Until the Hezbollah fighters arrived, it had not been touched by the Israelis. Then it was totally devastated.

``After the attacks they didn't even allow the ambulances or the Lebanese Army to come in until they had cleaned the area, removing their rockets and hiding other evidence.

I am sorry for the horrific human suffering created in the bombing of Qana, southern Lebanon today, but if these people do not care for human life they endanger, why should Israel sacrifice their own which they do care about? Hezbollah has been using Qana as a base for launching hundreds of rockets at Israel, happily waiting for the bitter memory of the Operation Grapes of Wrath propaganda to do their dirty work for them. The people there should be horrified and disgusted at what Hezbollah are doing, and at the inability and unwillingness of their own cowardly Government to disarm Hezbollah, instead of allowing the MSM to portray Hezbollah as some kind of liberating heroes. Israel cannot be blamed for loss of life in these circumstances.

UPDATE: The American Thinker discusses "The Curious Case of the Qana Building Collapse" and wonders what happened during the 8 hour gap between when the building was bombed by the IDF (shortly after missiles were launched at Israel from the building in Qana that reportedly contined many of the "human shields" referenced above...) and when the building actually collapsed, killing all the children inside. Key grafs:

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are noting the strange 8 hour gap between the attack on Qana and the colllapse of the apartment building which killed so many children.

The attack on the structure in the Qana village took place between midnight and one in the morning. The gap between the timing of the collapse of the building and the time of the strike on it is unclear,” Brigadier General Amir Eshel, Head of the Air Force Headquarters told journalists at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, following the incidents at Qana.

Eshel and the head of the IDF’s Operational Branch, Major General Gadi Eisnkot said the structure was not being attacked when it collapsed, at around 8:00 in the morning.

The IDF believes that Hizbullah explosives in the building were behind the explosion that caused the collapse.

Another possibility is that the rickety building remained standing for a few hours, but eventually collapsed. “It could be that inside the building, things that could eventually cause an explosion were being housed, things that we could not blow up in the attack, and maybe remained there, Brigadier General Eshel said.

Buildings about hal a kilometer away were attack at 7:30 AM, so the ricklety building theory may have something to do with it.

But why on earth were so many children and other presumed innocents inside the building 8 hours after it was attacked? Pardon my suspicions, but isn’t this possibly a case of Hezbollah intentionally killing them, in order to have an effective propagando tool?

Of course, the nut-job Left in the United States has long claimed that 9/11 was an inside job, and that the Twin Towers and one other building were (for some obscure reason) demolished by controlled demoltion. But I think this is not at all comparable. There is an excellent propaganda gain for Hezbollah from the slaughter of innocents, and they are a group which has never been bothered by a few deaths of “martyrs.”

Exactly.
