Human Rights Watch investigated some two dozen bombing incidents in Lebanon involving a third of the civilians who by then had been killed. In none of those cases was Hizbullah anywhere around at the time of the attack.
How do we know? Through the same techniques we use in war zones around the world to cut through people's incentive to lie. We probed and cross-checked multiple eyewitnesses, many of whom talked openly of Hizbullah's presence elsewhere but were adamant that Hizbullah was not at the scene of the attack. We examined bombing sites for evidence of military activity such as trenches, destroyed rocket launchers and military equipment, or dead or wounded fighters. If we were unsure, we gave the IDF the benefit of the doubt.
Sorry, no sale. It doesn't add up logically. Hezbollah was conducting indiscriminate rocket attacks on Northern Israel with warheads packed with ballbearings and shrapnell in an all out effort to maim or kill as many Israeli civilians as possible.
Had Israel done as sorry a job of protecting its own civilians as Lebanon did, there would have been tens of thousands of Israeli civilian casualties instead of the two or three dozen there were.
Had Israel fought by the same sets of rules and standards which Hezbollah used, there would be a million or more Lebanese casualties instead of the few hundred there actually were.
Slammites crying "Massacre" simply have zero remaining credibility in my book, and the same is true of Human Rights Watch people who listen to them.
There have been too many phony massacres and too much evidence of slammites playing the western press. Pictures can lie as easily as words. Take this picture for instance:

That was supposed to be a Bosnian Serb "Death Camp" and turned out to be a refugee hostel where Bosnian Serbs were feeding and caring for those idiots, including the starved-looking one who had some sort of disease which would have made him look starved after fifty days of eating at Nero's table.
Srbrinica, Racak, and all the rest of such stories turned out to be just as phony, as did the "Jenin Massacre" and numerous others.
Ever read the story of the little boy who cried wolf? Like I say, slammites have sung this song too many times.
