Hezbollah And Its Henchmen

Recently I have seen articles that speak glowingly of Arab governments criticizing Hezbollah for its "adventure" against Israel. For example, the NY Times, forever trying to spin positive on Islamomaniacal atrocities, has "Militia Rebuked by Some Arab Countries."

The truth is the majority of the Muslims in these countries, both government officials and man on the street are totally in favor of Hezbollah and any other terrorists that carry out what is in all their hearts, murderous hatred for Israel, the US, UK, India and others. If you are Jew, Christian or Hindu you are the enemy and nothing will change that fact.

CNS News reports that at a weekly meeting chaired by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, the kingdom's cabinet declared that the war was an extension of Israel's "occupation policies and hegemony in the region." "The cabinet affirmed that the international reactions to the all-out war launched by Israel demonstrate the extent of the world community's laxity and disregard for crimes committed by Israel," it said in a statement released afterwards.

The Saudi government censured unnamed countries for giving "absolute support" to Israel, saying this was obstructing efforts by the U.N. Security Council to act. The statement made no direct reference to the incident that triggered the conflict - the abduction of two Israeli soldiers - or to the hundreds of missiles Hizballah has fired into Israel since then.

In an indirect reference to Hezbollah, the cabinet said the international community's shortsighted policies in supporting Israel had resulted in "some elements and movements" taking "their own decisions." Israel had "exploited [those decisions] in the most horrendous manner to launch a terrible war against Lebanon and imprison the entire Palestinian people."

There you have it, the same old tired rhetoric waltzed out by Arabs and Persians blaming all the misfortunes of their squalid little universe on those Jews.

The Syrian government daily Al-Baath said in an editorial, "The Lebanese and Palestinian national and Islamic resistance are not being 'adventurous.' They are defending the land, people, and honor of Lebanon and Palestine."

From Kuwaiti lawmakers, "If people consider Hezbollah uncontrolled then we want to establish many more of such reckless groups," he said, urging Muslims and Arabs the world over to support Hezbollah. And,"We support the armed resistance against the Zionist enemy. Arabs must take up arms against the Zionist enemy."

Reports from Bahrain said Sunnis and Shi'ites marched together in support of Hezbollah. In protests there, the Palestinian territories and elsewhere, Arabs chanted slogans urging Nasrallah to bomb Tel Aviv.

"The Lebanese who kidnapped the Zionist soldiers are true nationalists led by a great man," Mohamed Mahdi Akef, the leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, said in an interview with al-Jazeera.

Egypt's El-Osboa carried a commentary calling Hezbollah "the voice of Arab dignity," while the London-based Al Quds al-Arabi noted with satisfaction Nasrallah's assertion that he was presenting the Arabs with a historic opportunity to defeat Israel. Hezbollah's "steadfastness" over recent days and "the overwhelming support of the Arab and Muslim peoples will strengthen this hope," it said.

"Zionist aggression on innocent civilians is a depressing disaster but, thanks to the heroic resistance, the Arab eyes are sparkling with hope for a renewal of dignity and optimism," said a commentary in Ad Dustour, a Jordanian daily.

Ah yes, that faux dignity they wish to die for; these Islamomaniacs have chosen a fool's fate. So be it.
