This is important.

Go here.

Right now.

And think on this: every one of those coffins represents one human being. Every one of those coffins has a name, has a family, has people who grieve for their passing. Every fucking one of them.

I saw - in passing - an Andrew Bolt opinion piece. About the only bit I saw was something that suggested members of Hezbollah(sp?) were shooting from that UN outpost, expecting that Israel wouldn't have the guts to fire back.

I always knew the Herald Sun was a rag. This just adds confirmation to it.

From what I understand, in transliteration from arabic, e and i are much the same phoneme, and o/u/(sometimes a) similarly, the transcriptions being based on a given convention, and sometimes the accent of the speaker/translater. There is another 'a' phoneme which always(?) maps to "a".

Thus you will see H[ei]zb[aou]llah, each variation being a more-or-less accurate in its own way transcription of حزب الله

And the only willing contact I maintain with the Herald Scum is through BoltWatch.
