Hezbollah: Israel Is Killing All Of The Anti-Syrian Lebanese MKs (Plus: Most Eye Roll Inducing Pro-Hezbollah Media Spin Ever)

Shiites militias cooperate with Sunni thugs to murder Sunni politicians. It's the Jews' fault:

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah claimed on Friday that Israel was behind the assassination of Lebanese politicians and urged feuding parties to agree on who should become president in order to end the country's crisis. "Israel is the one who is carrying out the killings in Lebanon. It wants to stir discord and internal fighting in Lebanon," he said at a rally to commemorate Jerusalem Day in Beirut's southern suburbs. The Western-backed ruling majority in Lebanon has blamed Syria for attacks against anti-Damascus Lebanese figures since October 2004. Syria, the main backer of the Hezbollah-led Lebanese opposition, denies the accusations.

Now of course the critical question is: does anyone actually believe that? And if not, why is he going through the motions of saying it? Is his anti-Semitism really just that pathological that he can't help but publicly accuse Israel of literally every evil on earth? Jews spreading Bird Flu all over the world - that makes some sense. But killing anti-Syrian MPs? That's just crazy talk.

This is old, incidentally, but we keep forgetting to post it. Behold the standard that all future "What About All The Good Things Hezbollah Does?" media stories must be judged against:

United Nations peacekeepers were creating havoc. Soldiers from the Fijian contingent were paying fisherman $10 a piece for the turtles, a delicacy in their native archipelago, until Miss Khalil convinced a sympathetic UN general to put a stop to the practice... Hezbollah has proven itself a friend of the sea turtle, declaring its half of the beach a protected area. Amal has steadfastly refused. "It's not that I'm a fan of Hezbollah, but they have been good to the turtles," said Miss Khalil. In the Mediterranean, the turtles face daunting obstacles. Fodder for predators and threatened by humans, only one in every 1,000 will survive and return to the same seashore to reproduce 25 years later.

They even have a picture of one of the really cute baby turtles that Hezbollah's insane quest to destroy Israel has helped save. Of course they do.
