Norman Finkelstein, a Jewish American political scientist and author, specializing in Jewish-related issues and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular talks about the Lebanese militia Hezbollah and openly supports and praises their resistance: "They (Hezbollah) show courage, they show discipline, I respect that"
On Israeli defeat and consequential withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000, Finkelstein says:"But the reality was -- and everyone understood it -- that the Israeli attitude was: We are going to knock out Hizbullah. They began planning for a new war right after they were forced to leave in 2000. They found their excuse, their pretext, in July 2006, but there is no question among rational people that Israel was never going to let the Hizbullah victory go by."
"There is no way that the United States and Israel are going to tolerate any resistance (to their hegemony) in the Arab world."
On the damage caused to Lebanon as a result of the resistance: "It's better to die on your feet than to walk crawling on your knees....how can I not respect those (Hezbollah) who say they would rather die on their feet? How can I not respect that?"
Finkelstein then goes on to slam the stances taken by some sell out Arabs who continue to admire George Bush like 'Servants' despite Bush being the man behind the carpet bombing of Lebanon and says that Bush should be classified as 'persona non grata':"Who (would) roll out the red carpet less than two years after your whole country was destroyed by them (the US)? "
"You (sell out-arabs) have NO self respect"

@ElevenResurrection the jew killers are also killers. of palestenian children, activists that have no weapons, UN tents for women and children, etc etc... or do you deny that ? because i can gaurantee its hapenning.
i can also gaurantee hezbollah firing rockets into civilian areas in israel and killing innocent people... so both sides have blood on their hands.
this is why i hate all religions. youre so self righteous and assume the entire world runs on the laws of your flawed religious text

@darrinmagnus1 The Palestinins were gracious hosts? Ask the Grand Mufti al-hussayni who waged a war of terror on the Palestinian Jews for 28 years.Was that gracious? The NKUSA rabbis werent in Palestine then. Read history before writing embarassing things.

@ElevenResurrection - Don't believe me, eh. Well, why don't you ask the Rabbi's themselves who will not only attest to this truth, but who also witnessed firsthand how the Palestinians were their gracious hosts before the Zionist land grab & occupation of their country. They're known as Neturei Karta (tran. Guardians of the City). Check them out: NKUSA.org.
