Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

In this case it is understandable that people are more apalled by atacks against Lebanese civilians compared to atacks against Israelis. While war crimes were perpetrated by both parties, the damage and death toll and terrorism perpetrated by the Israeli government far outweighed that of Hisballah....the death toll alone was in a ratio of thousands in Lebanon vs hundreds in Israel....and the Israeli authorities promised (and delivered) to destroy Lebanon to the point of turning back the clock 20 years. Israeli cities were minimally damaged in comparison.
Further, Israel argues that it is a country that respects human rights and abides by international law. However, in practice it did not behave much different than the terrorist groups that it constantly criticizes. This is not too surprising considering that the Israeli "resistance" that created the state of Israel was also a terrorist group.

Propaganda:
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
