The extent to which the media is being manipulated by Hezbollah is almost farcical. Here we have bodies of children paraded around and photographed for hours with the apparent collusion of AP.
For those not familiar with propaganda techniques, the most effective way of swaying people to one side of an issue is to overload the emotional centers of the observer and then insert the propaganda in the form of causality. Goebbels was a past master at it.
In this case, the vision of dead children overshadows with emotion the fact that Hezbollah actually caused this war in the first place and is ultimately responsible for the deaths of these children by firing from unevacuated civilian neighbourhoods, or that Israel gave hours of warning to the residents...all that goes out the window in favor of an emotive condemnation of "babykiller" Israel.

any time you throw a child into the mix, you will get sympathy, even from say, the pro-abortion crowd. they're eating this up, but have no qualms about returning to their illogical way of thinking.
