re: #327 ShanghaiEd

Lynn B: I’m familiar with this link. There was an update to the Adloyada site after Charles’ post, apparently.

I did make an error of terminology; this particular photo is of shells, not bombs. And I certainly don’t claim any moral equivalence between the parties involved. Just saying that no one, in this complex tragedy, has totally clean hands. That’s all.

So you’ve conceded that Israel was not bombing “Palestine” but shelling “Palestine.” I hate to break it to you but Lebanon is not “Palestine.” Still, I guess this is a move in the right direction?

Adloyada’s update in no way validated the libel that those photos were intended to and did perpetrate against the children of Kiryat Shmona. Have you ever been there? Have you seen the damage that community survived in that war? Has your home town even been shelled to smithereens? Are you in position to judge the children of that town or their parents, who were manipulated by a media with an agenda into “posing” for that photograph? What does it take, in your mind, to have “clean hands?”

Seriously, Ed. I’ve read your comments here before. You know better than this.
