Hezbollah: Cowards Hiding Among the Sheep

Well, well, well. Saw the news reports about the big rally in southern Lebanon the other day. Saw thousands of people walk long distances to rallies at the request of Hezbollah leaders. Saw huge animated crowds of men waving Hezbollah flags. Saw the southern Lebanese shaking their fists and shouting the praises of Hezbollah. Watched the mobs cheer when Hezbollah leaders said their militias were still heavily armed and had 20,000 rockets to visit destruction on Israel. Listened as Hezbollah leaders and clerics called for the death of Israel because of damage they caused to southern Lebanese towns and homes. Heard the crowds roar with a concentrated hatred of Israel. Saw the massed crowds shake their fists with with rage at the destruction visited upon their Homeland........Ahhh, the theater of politics. How exciting! How enthralling. How engrossing. How absolutely fraudulent........Yes, fradulent!

You have to hand it to Hezbollah, only an organization with their extraordinary level of chutzpah could: (1) start a war with a neighbor who had been, for the most part, minding their own business; (2) be responsible for the destruction of billions of dollars of vital infrastructure and the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians in southern Lebanon due to their refusal to refrain from escalating the war they caused in the first place by destructive and irresponsible behavior; (3) use the southern Lebanese people as unwitting human shields by carrying out attacks from inside their towns and villages; (4) use the war, that they started, as an excuse to fleece their Arab brothers for huge sums of money to fight the "Israeli devils" and provide "relief" to the poor southern Lebanese people that Hezbollah purposely put in harm's way; and then (5) convince the southern Lebanese and rest of the Arab world that Israel, not Hezbollah, is really the bad guy! You got to admire an organization like that! Alternatively you've got to think that maybe the southern Lebanese and Hezbollah's Arab and Persian buddies are not the brightest bulbs in the bin.

Listen! Hezbollah started that Lebanese/Israeli conflict. They were the perpetrators and they were the ones that refused then, and refuse today to put away their weapons, only causing more and more death and destruction in southern Lebanon and the Arab world. Now I am not saying that there is no history or bad blood between Israel and Lebanon and there is plenty of blame to go around to both parties for past events. However, in this most recent fracas, Hezbollah is completely and directly to blame. And all the lives lost, dollars spent, angst, and destruction caused by the conflict lie squarely on their shoulders. The Lebanese and rest of the Arab world need to step back and look at the facts and then place blame where blame is due.

The reality of this situation is that Hezbollah and their leaders are a bunch of petty thugs with no respect for the lives or livelihoods of their people. They would much rather revel in the glory of fame and recognition, the adrenal charge of sneaking around and pretending to be doing "important" subversive work, and the money that comes from getting other people to pay your way as opposed to you having to get a REAL job and work for a living.

Only cowards would doom their fellow Lebanese to death by launching rocket attacks from inside populated cities and towns. Only cowards would strut like a rooster crowing how "tough" and "unbeatable" they are. Only cowards viciously slander their neighbors as opposed to discussing differences with them like adults. Only cowards insist on using mob tactics to scare others or force them to come to their point of view. Only cowards completely ignore the sorry plight of their people and actively work to make it even worse because of their pigheadedness.

The Lebanese need to wake up and "smell the coffee" so to speak. Sure the rhetoric Hezbollah uses to blame Israel for everything bad in the world might sound rousing, but who is the real destructive force here? It is Hezbollah that brings the wrath of the Israelies down on south Lebanon because Hezbollah refuses to stop making death threats, initiating armed border skirmishes, firing rockets deep into Israel, and in general doing whatever they can to destabilize Israel. It's time for "the Lebanese sheep" to look around and say "Hey, the flock is hurting. What is it that is really hurting us?" Let me tell you. It is not Israel! It is terrorist groups like Hezbollah that you welcome as brothers and let live among you and who refuse to recognize themselves as part of your world where you have to make a living, raise families, and enjoy life. Their cult of hatred is damning you to a hell of recurring strife, loss of loved ones, and hardship; and you know what.....no matter what they tell you or how much money they give you, they don't really give a damn about you. It is all about THEM and their petty bigotry. Throw those bums out!

If you are not sure of some of the issues that Straight Talk speaks about, you need to watch the Fire With Fire booktrailer video.

I point you to this only as it shows scenes of rallies recently held in Lebanon with Nasrallah inciting the audience. The pictures are scary but they are real. The closest thing that they can be equated to is rallies held in Nazi Germany past.

View the video and see for yourself. The scenes are half way through http://www.pyropublishing/firewithfire/index.php
