They have to do with the absurdity of your dismissals. Mine in particular in referense to Israel's long standing policy of lying to defend it's war crimes.Originally posted by: CADsortaGUY

You guys probably still believe Israel's lies about Hezbollah using human shields back in 2006, eh?
These have exactly what to do with the "discredited" OP?
For a little truth, see this report from our US Army War College
Hezbollah is often described as having used
civilians as shields in 2006, and, in fact, they made
extensive use of civilian homes as direct fire combat
positions and to conceal launchers for rocket fire into
Israel.90 Yet the villages Hezbollah used to anchor its
defensive system in southern Lebanon were largely
evacuated by the time Israeli ground forces crossed the
border on July 18. As a result, the key battlefields in the
land campaign south of the Litani River were mostly
devoid of civilians, and IDF participants consistently
report little or no meaningful intermingling of
Hezbollah fighters and noncombatants. Nor is there
any systematic reporting of Hezbollah using civilians
in the combat zone as shields. The fighting in southern
Lebanon was chiefly urban, in the built-up areas of
the small to medium-size villages and towns typical
of the region. But it was not significantly intermingled
with a civilian population that had fled by the time the
ground fighting began. Hezbollah made very effective
use of local cover and concealment (see below), but this
was obtained almost entirely from the terrain?both
natural and man-made.91
Also, back to the more current issue of Gaza, Israel violated humanitarian law in Gaza ? Israeli lawyer.
