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"

"Genoide", not less?! lol :)

The total number of casualties in 65 years(!) of Israeli-Palestinian conflict is ~20,000 people, from both(!) sides.

It's about the number of Palestnians murdered by Jordanian army during single month (!) of September 1970.

Or the number of Arabs murdered during February (!) of 1982 in Syria (Hama). Not to mention the recent uprising in Syria when Assad is gassing his own people!

But all you and Finki are able to say is Israel, Israel, Israel...

Fucking hypocrite!

Jews had very little support from the Americans until the 1960's and almost none from the Brits who supported the Arabs. Those crucial years 1949 to 1960 was all Israel in effort. Plus all the Jews were evicted from dear Arab countries then too.

Yes and that's if the Israelis were goof offs, And that they are not.

[Meshal Alhussaini]

if what you say is true, then the support from the Americans and the surplus of supplies including military equipment is enough to make them stand 10 years of war at least

[IIovePALESTINEBEST]

Sorry if you consider history as shit. That kind of thought bites you in the behind.
