The WP covered the story - not the event in Qana but the wingnuts trying to fabricate a story.
Digby points out: "This is a Republican Noise Machine Special. They don't do this stuff on their own."
Atrios points out that the lunactic wingnuts include frequent Fox News guests Michelle Malkin and Jonah Goldberg. We already knew they were fake smear artists.
The right psychiatric cases now have a name Goldberg Syndrome Psychopathology. One sufferer is outside the looney bin.
Now the more radical news you don't get in American media about Lebanon.
Lebanon - Why do they hate us? - graphic photos.
BBC Report - Qana bombing.
Is Iran's president being translated correctly? The disinfo specialists seem to have special leeway to demonize Iran. Is he really calling for the destruction of Israel or just regime change? Is he really denying the Holocaust?
Terrorism and suicide bomber expert Robert Papes on why Israel can't win.
In writing my book on suicide attackers, I had researchers scour Lebanese sources to collect martyr videos, pictures and testimonials and the biographies of the Hezbollah bombers. Of the 41, we identified the names, birth places and other personal data for 38. Shockingly, only eight were Islamic fundamentalists. Twenty-seven were from leftist political groups like the Lebanese Communist Party and the Arab Socialist Union. Three were Christians, including a female high-school teacher with a college degree. All were born in Lebanon.
What these suicide attackers - and their heirs today - shared was not a religious or political ideology but simply a commitment to resisting a foreign occupation. Nearly two decades of Israeli military presence did not root out Hezbollah. The only thing that has proven to end suicide attacks, in Lebanon and elsewhere, is withdrawal by the occupying force.
Thus the new Israeli land offensive may take ground and destroy weapons, but it has little chance of destroying the Hezbollah movement. In fact, in the wake of the bombings of civilians, the incursion will probably aid Hezbollah's recruiting.
