Israeli soldier, Arab girl killed by Hezbollah rockets
2006-07-26
(KUNA) -- An Israeli soldier and an Arab girl were killed on Tuesday by two of Hezbollah's Katyusha rockets, according to the Israeli radio. It added the girl was killed when a rocket hit her family's house, which also led to severely injuring two of her relatives.

Hezbollah continues launching missiles on Israel's northern parts in retaliation of the Israeli army assault against Lebanon. Earlier, Israeli media said 20 Israelis were injured by rocket attacks on southern Israel.

#2  Looks like someone at KUNA needs to works on chains of causes and effects, in addition to cause vs effect: "Hezbollah continues launching missiles on Israel's northern parts in retaliation of the Israeli army assault against Lebanon."

"Assault" implies an unprovoked, unjustified attack on the part of Israel. "Retaliation" means Hizb'Allah's attack was an effect. Incorrect use in both cases, within one sentence.

Is there a grammatical impossibility to grasp and express cause+effect in Arabic? is it impossible to say "Hizb'Allah attacked Israel, therefore Israel is providing Hizb'Allah with its just desert. The State of Lebanon has knowingly sheltered Hizb'Allah's terrorist activities, therefore it is responsible for its actions." in Arabic ??? is their conceptual faculty terribly stunted?

#1  Of course you'll barely hear about the dead Israeli citizen (Arab or Jew) on the mainstream media. I swear the bastards have all been to the mosque and are whackin their foreheads 5 times a day. Frickin traitors.

May God be with all of the innocents killed on both sides. May God, and the Israelis punish those who would intentionally hide behind innocent civilians (knowing that not all civilians are innocent, by a long shot).
