CAMERA's question to Time Magazine: Who ARE Hezbollah's Intended Targets?
“[T]he most remarkable element of the Time report is that one could read the magazine cover to cover and never know that any Israelis had been killed and injured in their homes, in the street, in a train depot, by Hezbollah missiles,” Bradley Burston of Ha’aretz commented about a July 31 Time Magazine photo essay.Oh, but he does. That's what Nasrallah and his Hezbos are all about.Maybe Burston’s criticism came across the desk of Time editors. Or maybe not. But either way, two weeks later, the Aug. 14 issue does carry a half-page photo [see above] of an injured Israeli, a child.
The caption reads:
Noa Tamam clings to her mother Tzvia in an emergency room in Nahariya on Aug. 3. Both were wounded by a Hizballah missile that killed two family members, including Noa’s father. The ER was moved to the basement to guard against rockets, one of which hit the hospital on July 28.So, Burston and other media observers might now be satisfied, knowing that a modicum of balance has been introduced into the Lebanon war coverage, right?
Wrong. The photo, paired with a full-page facing page image of a Lebanese child in a body bag, appears under the headline “Unintended Targets: Fighting between Israel and Hizballah takes its toll on the most vulnerable.”
Israeli children are unintended targets? Nasrallah doesn’t really mean to hit them?
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, general secretary of Hezbollah, 2001: ''If Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.''
--quoted in the NY Times May 23, 2004.Hussein Massawi, former head of the Hezbollah: “We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you.”

They never said they didn't mean the children. They are astonishingly up front about their intentions, and their actions are in complete accordance with their words. The Drive by Media, for whatever reason, just doesn't want to talk about it.
