Ghost of a flea

Border with evil

Southern Lebanon is run as a satrapy by Hezbollah, a proxy force of gangsters in the pay of the governments of Iran and Syria. Israel's heavily defended border is maintained only with great vigilance and in the face of grotesque provocation. Canadian MP James Moore reports on what he found (via lgf):

What was also at the border was a 12-foot by 10-foot billboard of gruesomeness erected by Hezbollah about 6-inches from the Israeli border for the purpose of intimidating young Israeli troops. The billboard, seen below, shows 5 pictures. The picture on the top left is of a blown-up Israeli in a market after a suicide bombing. In the middle is a mutilated Israeli skull. On the top right is the picture of a wounded young Israeli soldier who was held captive. The bottom right is a picture of 2 Israelis being shot by a firing squad. On the bottom left is the picture of a member of Hezbollah holding up the severed head of an Israeli soldier at a celebration rally of the soldier's killing. On the sign in both Arabic and Hebew are the words "Beware Sharon (Israel's Prime Minister), we still have 3 of your soldiers." When the billboard was erected, Hezbollah had just kidnapped 3 Israeli soldiers (two were in their early 20s, one was 19). Hezbollah has since killed all three soldiers.
