Every time I hear a news story about Christian parts of Lebanon being hit with Israeli bombs I fully understand that Israel is trying to do away with their enemy. Which of course is not the Christians, who are not Muslim Radicals like the members of Hezbollah. But because Hezbollah is running into Christian areas to launch their rockets, it puts Christians in danger.
To me it seems the news media has been trying to imply that Israel is attacking Christians or that Christians in the West should be against the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) because of attacks in Christian parts of Lebanon. When we know Israel is attacking their enemy and I fully support Israel doing so. Given their enemy has always attacked them and groups like the United Nations have never been able to stop it.
Until now I had not seen a news outlet report the truth about the situation with Christians in Lebanon. And I am surprised that some truth is finally being told by of all papers…the New York Times. (I still feel the NYT is a traitor publication and people involved in publishing classified information should be charged.)
Christians Fleeing Lebanon Denounce Hezbollah

Why won’t media outlets speaking about bombings by IDF in Christians parts of Lebanon say more about this angle of the story?
How come we always hear about the affects of bombing in Lebanon, but I’ve never seen an extensive media report about the 3 Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah, before Israel decided to fight back and try to save the 2 kidnapped soldiers?
How come I live in the USA, but I see media reports that favor the same enemy that bombed barracks in Beirut in 1983 and killed US soldiers? (Syria and Iran were backing Hezbollah then and still do today.)
Reports like the one noted above are rare.
Hat tip Michael Savage.
update 7/31/2006 12:17PM: More at Tel-Chai Nation and Dhimmi Watch. And Dhimmi Watch noticed something I also saw myself when reading the article.
Note that the New Duranty Times provides no supporting evidence for its assertion that these Lebanese Christians are outraged by the Israeli strikes as much as they are by Hizballah — unless you count the statements by a Muslim they quote at the end of the article.
All the quotes from Christians are about how Hezbollah has put their lives in danger and how Hezbollah’s radicals are shooting them when they try to leave.

It’s a shame that the UN and others always blame Israel, when Hezbollah is clearly fighting outside normal rules of military engagement. I hope the IDF obliterate Hezbollah quickly, without regard for UN and world opinion, which they’ll never be able to get on their side anyway.
