Go ABC GO. In the artical,

JERUSALEM Aug 6, 2006 (AP)— A barrage of Hezbollah rockets struck Haifa on Sunday, killing at least one person and wounding more than 30, officials and media reported, in the heaviest attack on the port city since fighting with the Lebanese-based militia began nearly four weeks ago.

A spokesman for the Haifa fire department, Chezi Levi, said one crowded residential district suffered five or six hits, and there were many casualties.

What stupidity it this??? You call this journalism?
You state in paragraph 1 : "killing at least one person and wounding more than 30", then paragraph 2: "there were many casualties". One is many?
Good God, people, my dughter in the 8th grade could do better reporting. Even if this was a quote, why use it? Nothing better to come up with than this?????

The numbers are wrong. The death toll rose to 3. Over 100 wounded, including 2 severly. The rockets landed in the Arab-Israeli neighbourhood. The casualties were Arab-Israelis.

Near Kiryat Shmona 12 people died from Hezbollah's attack. It was 12 citizens who were called by the army today, now the western media describes them as SOLDIERS. They probably had enough time only to wear the uniform!

Media bias - or lack of word power?

Thanks, You think Topix would at least have us comment on something other than propaganda. That ABC article was one of the worst "reporting" jobs I've seen.

Just because they didn't write it down to your level doesn't mean it's propaganda.

Why do they take so long to come up with resolutions, Hezbollah and Israel play their "proving match of "who is winning" and innocent people on both sides are dieing along the way.

Darfur anyone? Only one side is dying, the other side (Arab moslem janjaweed) is doing the killing. This is the REAL MASSACRE being ignored by the bloody UN and the Media.

[Name of the Game]

The media is making this worse for America than what they should actually be doing. More sympathy is going toward the terrorists than what should be. America will be swaying into this war as time progresses. World War III will begin. The United States will need help from so many others throughout the world to defeat the terrorists. These terrorists are one of the Devils best dealt hands. Mexico is in no better shape. They are in the process of a major castrophe in their country. An overthrow of the government there will be see within the next few years. America will see some dark days not yet realized by most as we have been asleep at the wheel. Bin Laden was correct when he stated he would kill America through the financial world. Is our end coming soon. God have mercy on America to defeat these enemies and the unloyal unpatriotic people in America.

I wonder if these Israeli were catagorized as innocent victims slaughtered by Hezbollah, or is that a designation reserved only for those Lebanese who are the rusult of Israeli bombings that are the casulties of a war started buy the Hezbollah?

** by ** the Hezbollah.

Islam is NOT a religion of peace.

I can't hear what you're saying, because your actions are speaking too loud.

These hypocrites speak of peace while they behead our soldiers. They scream of atrocities against their women and children while they shoot hundreds of unguided missles into Israel, hitting houses, hospitals, schools, and even their own people.

We need to stop listening to what comes out of their mouths, but hear the truth...what is coming out of their actions.

There can be no peace as long as they're alive.

Hezbollah and Hamas must be exterminated.

Israel is probably the only non-woosified country left on our side. We need to back them up.

You're tight. If we don't fight them there, we'll be fighting them here. It's only a matter of time. Indonesia stated that they've sent out hit squads to go after JEws and israeli interests around the world.

Are you claiming a relationship between this group and the government of Indonesia?

Woops...
But you know how it goes with moslems. There's the political wing and the military wing. The political wing always claims it has no control over the military. They're right of course the control comes from the guys with the guns.
Look at hama, Fatah, Alaksa et al.
Look at Hezbollah. Same shiite.
Don't you think the Indonesian government should arrest these slugs?

Yeah, I do, actually, if they are a threat to Indonesia. If you read the article, however, you'll see that local authorities are pretty convinced they ain't goin' nowhere - just making a bunch of noise.

There are far more serious threats to Israel than these clowns.

LOL!! They're not threatening ANY moslem nation.
If the Freeman, or another bunch of American whacko militas olks threatened to send out "holy warriors" do you think the US government would allow them to exist?

I don't know, exactly. I suspect they'd let them bark at the moon (which is what I suspect this group is doing), but keep an eye on them.

Whether Indonesia will do that is anyone's guess.

Indonesia hasn't done much to protect the Hindus of Bali. The Aussies will take them on, and whn they do all heck breaks loose.
