Monbiot - Israel attack premeditated and unprovoked

George Monbiot bravely concedes that he was wrong to assert that that Hizbullah pre-empted Israeli aggression with an unprovoked attack on Israel; rather it was the other way around:

"Israel responded to an unprovoked attack by Hizbullah, right? Wrong"

In fact, Anders Strindberg a professor on Middle East politics and terrorism, had already noted much of this in his article:

"Hizbullah's attacks stem from Israeli incursions into Lebanon" (courtesy of Steph's Blog)

Strindberg wrote pubished his article on the 01 August, a week before Monbiot made this admission.

Monbiot was anti the war in Iraq and has argued against the Zionist aggression into Lebanon, yet if even he, a self described "peacenik" and seasoned anti-capitalist journalist, was unknowingly repeating Zionist propaganda, albeit unwittingly, what chance is there of accuracy from the Zionist dominated media?

Does anyone think that the BBC, SKY or ITN will show the same integrity and admit that it was not Hizbullah but Israel that is the aggressor?
