Got that bold part? “No basis” for the claim that Hezbollah guerrillas used civilians as human shields. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
Here is a photograph of Hezbollah guerrillas using civilians as human shields:
Here is a video of Hezbollah guerrillas using civilians as human shields:
And here are leaked UN documents about how Hezbollah used their peacekeepers as human shields.
They really can just get away with even the most easily disprovable anti-Israel fabrication, as long as it’s suitably vicious. We’re kind of surprised that they didn’t throw in “also, Israel poisoned a bunch of wells while they were in Lebanon, in between corrupting the country with New York money”. If you’re going to lie as part of a semi-organized campaign to demonize the Jewish State, at least do it with a little style. Plus – this lie is just so tired. It”s already been done by liberal media outlets and even by other human rights organizations. It’s like these people aren’t even trying any more.
The only thing more annoying than an anti-Semite anti-Zionist is a boring anti-Semite anti-Zinoist.
