Meeting Nasrallah

There’s an interesting article by Assaf Kfoury on Counterpunch.com right here. Kfoury and Noam Chomsky went and met Nassrallah, and discussed a few issues at some length.

Well worth reading.

In The First Person…

Whao, Nelly…

Okay, we’re on completely different planets, so let’s get a few things straight:

1. Regarding recent events and Hezbollah, the Lebanese are not guilty of anything.

2. Hezboloh need not be ‘expunged’ because they are Lebanese. They are not a ‘terrorist gang’ as John ‘Zionist’ Bolton claimed at the United Nations. They are a popular resistence movement, and have been fending off Zionist aggression for more than a decade, and are the only reason the so-called ‘State of Israel’ has NOT invaded Lebanon so far, despite constant air patrols, and their attempts to terrorize Lebanon into surrending some of it’s land and water.

3. Hezbollah are part of the Lebanese government, and represent anywhere between 20-40% of the ruling democracy.

In fact, if anything, gung-ho statments about ‘following rats to their holes’ imply that it is Hezbollah that should move straight into Tel Aviv, and yet – even the so-called ‘triggering incident’ of this recent Zionist aggression occured not on Occupied Palestine, but inside the Lebanese border.

In other words, Hezbollah have done nothing wrong, and the Zionists, as racists tend to, have been lying, and lying, and lying, and lying.

And anybody with half an eye wouldn’t find that surprising.

And don’t believe me…

Sure, I’m a brainwashed nutcase fundie that’s out to cut off your limbs and confiscate your porn collection – Don’t trust me.

Do some research, find out the real context of this conflict, and perhaps you won’t be so quick with knee-jerk idiotic reactions next time.

Oh, also – you might want to consider this – as to working out who’s lying – a bit of chronological awareness does help…

When this round of Zionist aggression started, Hezbollah stated that for them, the continuing existence of the resistance would be a victory. The IDF declared that it’s goal was to ‘wipe out‘ Hezbollah.

By their own definitions of success, declared immediately upon the commencement of aggresion, the Racist Zionist Occupying Military Terror That Calls Itself A Country have lost, whereas a ‘terrorist gang’ of no more than a ‘few thousand’ has won.

If this were a hollywood movie, nobody would for a moment suspect who the good guy in this scenario is, and who the bad guy is. Nobody would for a second doubt that heroic resistance can only be put up by characters fighting for a just cause.

A child could see all this.

Too bad us ‘adults’ are busy watching the news…

Wonderfully Abusive, Ridiculously Undiplomatic, Hail George!

And I’m not being sarcastic. Admittedly, George doesn’t go about it in what appears to be the most subtle way, and perhaps that might be less persuasive to those who might take offense, but if you can just get past that, and listen to what he’s saying, and actually process it instead of just reel back in shock, then you might start to understand why any demeanor less insulted would be too shameful to bear…

And yes, that was a long sentence, I apologize for the lack of brevity.

Enjoy.

Gibson This…

“Meanwhile, the fuss about Gibson’s outburst has eclipsed less famous prophets, such as the Rev John Hagee. A Texan televangelist, Hagee recently told a meeting of Christian Zionists that the attacks on Lebanon are ‘a miracle of God’. Several senators attended his symposium, at which he received a personal message of praise from President Bush.” – Why are we crucifying Mel Gibson?

Yup. Who’s paying attention?
