Shec, it could be the disparity in the type of weaponry each side is using, no? If Hamas had F-16's, self prop arty, Merkavas, etc., perhaps the death toll on the Israeli side would be higher. But that's not really the question to ask, rather: why should the Palestinians or the Israelis need...

From the Dailystar: Lebanese Information Minister Tarek Mitri told AFP that Hizbullah, which is represented in the government, had said it was not involved in the rocket barrage. Unidentified Israeli military sources said that they thought Palestinian militants rather than Hizbullah were...

Thanks for the welcome CanadaPhil. I never claimed to be reading the 'only' credible source on this issue, you said that. Fisk's book that deals with the Lebanon War is called Pity the Nation: The Abduction of Lebanon. The book that I'm currently re-reading is his latest work, The Great War for...
