Norman Finkelstein - Hezbollah, the Honour of Lebanon

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"

@011jaffa I find it strange you call Arafat a terrorist and Peres a honourable man. I find it even stranger that you zios complain about a type of warfare you fucking invented. Even stranger is that you call Arafat corrupt while Israel ruling elite are all corrupt. Who is the latest Israeli leader being investigated for corruption? Lieberman , right?

[hehefromhere]

never forgive is really bad.

but i agree with finkelstein on everything else.

@011jaffa The only nonsense it from you. The only people who were driven into the sea were the palis . The only place wiped off the map was Palestine.

.Zionism thrives on the fears that Jews have of another holocaust. For most Jews of the world, Israels primary yet unspoken raison d'etre is their need for a refuge of last resort-just in case. That is why worldwide Jewry remains basically silent at the crimes being committed in their name. Finklestein see zionism for what it truely is.

You know, Shimon Peres is a very old man(almost 90) he is a peaceful wonderful human being!(he called Bashar al Asad,asking to stop the killing of Syrians).I can bet you that if one day he will be gone,hundreds of heads of states,kings and queens will come to Israel (as they came for Rabin),for his funeral (I wish him a long healthy life,and many more years to come)! He is a real righteous man unlike Frankenstein!and the Rabbis you are talking about are heads of lunatic cults)!

@guidofawkes81 I never hurt anyone,but flies!Shame on you for cursing, and for comparing Peres to Hitler! You have no idea what you are talking about!Hitler was a monster who killed millions of human beings!Jews,Gypsy's,Gays,Sovit­es,and so on,everyone who didn't fit his Pure Arian dream! and if he had a grave,I am 100% sure that most people would have gone to spit on it and him! On the other hand Peres is a beautiful human being, which most of the world admire for his humanity and peace making!

@chugalongway

The only thing I am going to say(I am tired of your nonsense) that the Palestinians openly announced that they are going to "throw all Israelis to the ocean) and Nassrallah said that it would have been much easier if all the world Jewery will gather in Israel,so he can annihilate all the Jewish race!!! Nice? So Frankenstein should join the Jews who go to Israel (because he is a Jew)so he will be murdered along with all Jews(I wish I could have told him;"I told you so"....!

@guidofawkes81

You are the son of Satan!You don't know what you are talking about!Shimon Peres is the President of Israel,which is only a diplomatic position,he does not make any tactical decisions!it is only the Prime Minister,and the Minister of Defense,who make them! Yes,Shimon Peres got the Nobel Prize,same as Yasser Arafat!the difference is that Shimon Peres is an honorable man,and Yasser Arafat was a Terrorist,Child killer and a thieve who stole all the Palestinians millions!...
