Lebanon Is NOT Innocent (David Horowitz Slams The Lebanon "Innocent Bystander" Myth Alert)

In this war, Lebanon is misleadingly called "an innocent bystander." This is a lie. Critics of Israel who raise it, as David Horowitz, points out, aid and abet Hezbollah's aggression against the Jewish State. In the first place, Lebanon is host to Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy that is sworn to fulfil Teheran's vow to wipe Israel off the map. The Lebanese government ignored this and allowed Hezbollah to built a "state within a state" in the country and to accumulate a massive arsenal of weapons with which to attack Israel, which even now rains down upon Israel's cities, killing civilians there and destroying oroperty. What did Israel it might be asked, do to provoke that? Nothing. And the Lebanese are not helpless; they could resist Hezbollah, however futile it might be, if they wanted to save the country. Resistance movements in Europe did it in the face of a superior, well armed Wehrmacht. Even Lebanon's own "Cedar Revolution" a couple of months ago showed it is possible for an unarmed people to rise up against occupiers, so their is no excuse for the Lebanese not resisting Hezbollah and evicting them from their country. The Lebanese should be hating the terrorists who are destroying their country. Instead, they hate the Jews and moreover, they know well what Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's true agenda is: over the years he has spelt it out for every one to hear and the Lebanese are in no position to pretend ignorance. They know full well what that would mean for them. So from Western sycophants of Hezbollah who make excuses for Lebanese succor for the terrorists we do not even get moral equivalence; to the contrary we hear an enlistment of moral support for the devil. In the final analysis then, the situation in Lebanon is a tragedy but they are not innocent in what is going on; they are a part of the theater of war against Israel.

Brilliant article by Horowitz.
I would also say, If Hizbollah continues to use civilians as human shields.
Civilians will die.

[Anti-Bubba182]

The Lebanese government does not tolerate Hezbollah, Hezbollah tolerates the Lebanese government. Hezbollah is the dominant power. It is infuriating how the UN and even our own goverment maintains the fiction there is an independent Lebanon.

For example it has been said that if the Lebanese army joined forces with Hexbollah in open conflict the US would take that opportunity to sieze and freeze assets they can get to. It is stupid to maintain this fiction that they are not effectually together.

And let's remember: the Cedar revolution was against Syrian occupation. No "revolution" against Hezbollah has occurred in Lebanon.

Yep. Nearly the whole population is comprised of religious identity members who hate Israel.

CIA World Factbook - Lebanon

"Religions:
Muslim 59.7% (Shi'a, Sunni, Druze, Isma'ilite, Alawite or Nusayri), Christian 39% (Maronite Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Melkite Catholic, Armenian Orthodox, Syrian Catholic, Armenian Catholic, Syrian Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Chaldean, Assyrian, Copt, Protestant), other 1.3%"

Dirty little secret: we're at war with Islam, which means Muslims. As long as we avoid naming the enemy, we're fighting with one hand behind our back.

Even the BBC notices it: BBC Admits Many Lebanese Casualties are Terrorists.

http://israelnn.com/news.php3?id=108122

The British Broadcasting Corp has admitted that many of the victims of Israeli retaliation in Lebanon are terrorists and not innocent civilians. A BBC reporter said he saw Hizbullah terrorists using a private home and added, ?It is difficult to quantify who is a terrorist and who is a civilian.?

Lebanese Blog: Hizballah's Filthy Methods

Here?s an amazing post at a blog that bills itself as ?personal views and opinions of Lebanese Forces members:? Hizbullah?s Filthy Methods.

http://www.ouwet.com/n10452/personal-opinions/hizbullah-s-filthy-methods/

For the past 11 days, we have seen Israel bomb all sorts of targets and i am sure most of us were wondering why would Israel bomb a certain factory or a truck or a construction yard or a truck ..

If we can for a moment turn off all those local and international channels who have nothing to do but show little children killed and bodies and touch the viewer to a certain degree that ll blind him, and think about the reasons behind those hits.

From a military point of view, you have a full equiped army, ranked in the top 5 armies in the world against a guerrilla with absolutly no info on its fighters, weapons , locations.

Even though the Israeli army is way superior in terms of weapons and technology and numbers than Hizbullah, its war must be a very cautious and tactical one since its fighting a guerilla.

We ve seen Israel for example hitting a factory for tissues in a small village in the South. It appeared that Hizbullah guys operate using trucks, meaning they move around with a missile in a truck, park nearby a factory for ex and shoot the rocket and flee. The origin of the rocket being the factory, Israelies respond by hitting it.

A witness for a similar action urged on TV the Hizbullah fighters to stop coming into his village to shoot rockets and then run away since the village is being destroyed.

Same for the truck that was carrying civilians and that became very suspicious when it was not allowed to enter the UN offices.

Fighting a guerrilla is very hard and knowing that they could shoot from anywhere, we should expect hits on unusual places.

Innocent people r dying, this is true but i believe the way Hizbullah is operating and its filthy methods in infilitrating villages and using them as launch positions is causing all those casualties.

Of course Israelies have hit bridges recklessly during the day killing innocent civilians passing on the bridge, but its war and you always have victims.

On the other hand, the one hitting civilians randomly and threatening innocent lifes r the Hizbullah launching rockets with no direction whatsoever. I ve seen rockets land on balconies, small cafes, walls anything but military targets.

Finally, i heard that Hizbullah has accepted that the government negociates on the prisoners fate today, therefore i hope that they realized they havent achieved anything but destroy themselves politically and militarily and most of all destroy Lebanon and ruin its economy for the next 5 years.

>\If Americans taught their children to murder Muslims as a quick pass to heaven, the left would regard this as a crime against humanity.

But if Palestinians are the perpetrators of such crimes and Jews are the targets, it’s a different story.

And for this the Wrath and Vexation of God will be the certain payday someday against all that have and are abusing God's Chosen Earthly People poured out from the winepress of God.

I'd like to think we're at war with terrorism. North Korea isn't exactly overrun or controlled by radical Muslims.

[Irishguy]

good article...the thing that amazed most people yesterday was the katushyas firing from Tyre...finally i think some people saw what Israels has been saying..they are firing from suburbs ...this image and a few more has done a lot to damage the Hizziefit's claims of innocence....

No we aren't. Just because almost all terrorists are Muslim doesn't mean that all Muslims are terrorists. The enemy is Islamofascists who have hijacked a religion for their own purposes.

This is not even moral equivalence; it is sympathy for the devil.

Wow, this sentence and the last paragraph makes this a very powerful article.

Israel is doing the right thing going in on the ground. Those bunkers can't be destroyed from the air. The Israeli airforce doesn't have the bunker-busting-power of the US airforce and the hezbullies have built their bunkers in civilian neighborhoods.

Israeli soldiers have to go in and clear out the nests of vermin, and obliterate those bunkers. I recommend that they also obliterate the neighborhoods that host the bunkers, and all the government buildings in any town or city that hosts bunkers (after moving people out of the way, of course).

That way, any future bunker-building projects might be considered "lacking in civic-mindedness" by the local government and population.
