Thank You, Hezbollah

By Dr. Joseph Hitti
FrontPageMagazine.com | August 7, 2006

Thank you, Hezbollah, for showing us that we, the Lebanese people, don’t need an army or a government or an infrastructure. As long as we have “sacred unity”, steadfastness and brotherhood and all the other slogans, we do not need organized society, and History will judge us well on our actions. We don’t need incomes, a GDP, a budget or any of those Western economic concepts, since our love for each other under the rubble and the wreckage of our country is sufficient to sustain us. What’s the big deal if our Hariri-inflicted $40 billion deficit grows to $50 billion, and if the nascent economy we had is back to ground zero, for it does not weaken our resolve to liberate Palestine for the Palestinians and show the world what clay we are made of. In our megalomaniacal tendencies as the not so humble people that we are, we want to prove to the world that the Islamic faith is a great motivator for high-quality warmongering and that our irresponsibility as a country can lead us to success, all our failures of the past 40 years notwithstanding. With friends like Iran and Syria who provide us, respectively, with hundreds of millions of dollars a year and plenty of rockets and missiles, we don’t need the world.

The idea of frontpagemag.com caring about Lebanon is pretty hillarious. Good source!

The guy who wrote it is Lebanese and the head of the New England Americans for Lebanon and I believe Hitti is a Muslim name.

Regardless of the author's nationality, quoting frontpagemag in a position that is suppose to support Lebanon is like quoting Al-Jazerra for a position that is suppose to support the Bush administration. In both cases, the media organizations are completely biased against the side they would claim to be arguing for - which I agree with you in that I think it is kinda funny.

Either way, all you have done is impugn the website.

The man and his article still stand.

Your post still stands even though your postings (in the other thread) show you to have an anti-Arab bias. In the same fashion, the content stands but on top of a bias so tilted it isn't worth listening to.

FrontPageMag is far from being objective, and the "article" is really just a satiric opinion. The ads for t-shirts that advocate nuking Iran kinda gives it away.

You don't think satire can prove a point?

You are absolutely in error, and I expect a retraction.

I have an anti-Islam bias. Any rational, well read person should.

I think Arabs are just another flavor of Human, and I'm pro-Human.

Sorry if its news to you, but Arab and Muslim are not the same.

One is a race, the other is a creed. Creeds are chosen.

 

[taxedout]

When you allow your country to be driven into the ground, you can blame isreal, you can blame the west, you can blame media bias, but you will still be in ruins.

I for one, do not support either!

Who Is Israel's Friend?
By Robert Parry August 1, 2006

Many supporters of Israel feel that they are showing solidarity with the Jewish state when they back whatever the Israeli government does, much as many Americans believe they are being patriotic when they back whatever George W. Bush decides.

The opposite side of that coin is that people who criticize actions by the Israeli government often are deemed “anti-Israel” or “anti-Semitic,” just as Americans who question Bush’s judgments are called “un-American” or “treasonous.”

But the reality is quite different. Endorsing a misguided policy doesn’t make Israel safer nor does it advance the interests of the United States. Indeed, there is a powerful argument that the violent course of action now being pursued by Tel Aviv and Washington will prove disastrous to both countries.

Waging war may satisfy short-term desires for revenge or relieve a few fears about the future, but the violence is taking the two nations in a far more dangerous direction, possibly past a point of no return. If the course is maintained much longer, endless war and widespread devastation may become inevitable.

Plus, Israel cannot escape one overpowering reality: it can never build buffer zones wide enough to protect itself from possible rocket attacks, anymore than the United States can prevent some future 9/11 atrocity by invading Arab countries and bombing every suspected “terrorist” target.

They're already in ruins from the 14 year long civil war, the syrian rule, and the last Israeli invasion which was to stop the PLO from bombarding northern Israel with shells.

It was during this last invasion that Israel sided with the Christians and really pissed of the Shiites after a while (and a few incidents). Thus was Hezbullah given water to grow. Not that I blame Israel for the idea of invading, just the idea of supporting the Phalangist militia and getting tied up in the 4-way (at least) civil war. The Marines made the same mistake later, and they really got the wrath of the Shiites, Druze, Sunnis, Syrians, and/or Iranians.

Looking back, Israel should have sided with the shiites instead of the warlord Geyamel and helped them get rid of the PLO who was dominating them but hey retrospect is 20-20.

Islam Merits Bigotry, which only has one "G" ya dumbass fanboy.

 

[jujuman13]

It does seem a trifle petty to state that the poster made a "typo".

Most people who are of the Islamic faith did not actually choose to follow that faith, rather it is normally how they have been raised, in Islam the Mother of the child is generally the person who gives the child religious instruction prior to the Imam getting hold of their minds.

Outside of where Islam originated, IE: places like Africa, many years ago folk took up this religion because they were faced with the choice of accept Islam as your faith or die, so yes they had a choice but under similar circumstances I rather imagine 99% of folk thus addressed would agree to convert to Islam.
Having agreed and remained with this faith, they in turn raised their children as Muslims and so on ad infinitum up to the present day.

They could nowadays convert to another religion, but this would be extremely difficult would they wish to remain in their family.

In actual fact there is nothing wrong with any of the religions.

What is wrong is the way the religion is twisted by unscrupulous Politicians so as to make people do things that the religion actually forbids.

For this to happen on the scale it does points to one very cogent reason.

The education system of these country's is for the poorer people very very basic.

Part of an ongoing hatefest, pay it no mind and don't let fanboy bother ya when he comes lurkin around for my autograph.

You need to research the Thughee cult then chief, or mebbe the Aztecs.

Oh, those are dead religions ? How do you think they got that way ?

Once we get you to admit that a creed can be bad, we are one step closer to enlightening you as regards the real culprit.

 

[Voidwar]

off topic but on topic . . .

the thread title . . .

I keep hearin Alanis Morissette singin it,

"Thank you Hezbollah, Thank you Hamas, Thank You Vi-o-lence !!"

sorry :newhere:

 

[Trajan Octavian Titus]

I don't like these insinuations that I'm a bigot I just spent the night with a saudi named Yasser and he's cool as **** and we discussed the DOI and the tyranny of monarchy and how he needs to stay here and not go back to that ****ing place but if he does go back rebellion is granted to him by god so long as it advances the natural laws of life, liberty, and property.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

So wonderful to see that you view nothing wrong with a totalitarian creed where one either accepts it or is killed.

You proclaim your anti-Islam bias as if it shows you to be enlighted; when it does not. I'd bet this is the result of Christian extremist programming. All religons have extremist, and none of the extremists should be trusted.

There are peaceful Muslims, as there are peaceful Christians. But anytime someone wants to discount a entire creed, they have usually been corrupted by an extremist element of another creed.

To speak as a Chirstian for a moment, God is inclusive and loves even Jews and Muslims. Any Christian who thinks heaven is only for those who accept Christ, is an extremist and product of brainwashing.

Don't drink the kool-aid. And if you do, don't think it makes you superior to others, cause it doesn't.

Python this is AN OP-ED written by a Lebanonese and for the record Void I believe Hitti is an Islamic name.

Try not to get side tracked people this article brings up many a good point on the plight of the Lebanese people brought upon them by Hesbollah and before them the PLO.

We can tell a lot about a country's society by the universities it holds.

Despite what well meaning celebrities and politically correct politicians might say, Islam is very much the problem. You are correct. The perversion of said religion has encouraged the failures in the Middle East and the failures in the Middle East encourage further perversion. In one of the many ironies of history, two great religions have swapped places over the last half millenium, with Christianity breaking free of medieval intellectual and social repression, while the once-effervescent world of Islam has embraced the comforts of shackles and ignorance.

How much do you owe me then Captain ASSumption ?

I am in no way a christian.

I've just read plenty about the Bandit Pedophile called Mohammed.

Read the Quran, the Hadith, history of the Caliphate. . .

I am biased against Islam, because any well-read, rational, person should be.

But anytime someone wants to discount a entire creed, they have usually been corrupted by an extremist element of another creed.

Wow, have you personally interviewed every someone who ever wanted to discount an entire creed ? ? ? Or is your claim absolute hogwash ?

The Brits didn't stamp out Thugheeism out of Christian arrogance, they did it entirely on account of the Thughee cult's unacceptable behavior.

To speak as a Chirstian for a moment

How bout not. Lets just stay with the rational and the concrete.
