Finkelstein - Honor Hizbullah, Arabs have no Self-Respect

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"

Never to forget.

Never to forgive.

How can we expect others to respect us If we ourselves have no self respect.

We as a people need to take these words to our hearts and apply them in our deeds.

@khattawal I agree

[musikali1]

He says war was inevitable, based on what?

If Lebanese won't attack Israel, Israel won't attack Lebanon.

The killing of 8 IDF soldiers in July 2006 was not resistance since Israel wasn't interfering within Lebanon in anyway. It only makes sense if you identify Lebanon with Palestinians. There were other cease-fire violations before July 2006 that Israel ignored, so it doesn't seem like they were just waiting for a pretext.

@khattawal

that was excellent literature

@guyba7 i guess the Torah must be anti-semetic because the Torah says that Jews shouldnt have their own state until the prophet returns. LOOK IT UP! P.S. Its not true that most jews support Isreal, even the a lot of the youth in Isreal protest against the killing of Lebanon and Palestine protesters.
