Its not just that Israel "buggered up the propoganda war".The monstrous and criminal bombing of civilans at Qana and the car convoys were there on our television screens night after night.That was the reality for the Lebanese ...and it was seen by millions across the world.
The Israeli military on the ground found the Hezbollah fighters formidable foes and from the reports I have read the Israeli reservists themselves are as mad as hell at the leaders who sent them into battle with the wrong tactics,the wrong equipment and lacking food and water.
The bombing of Lebanon was shameful and resulted in the deaths and maiming of many,many children.
This was a defeat for Israel on all counts although I think another attack , aided by the USA , is likely quite soon.
