Anti-war march is evidence of an allegiance to terror group that is depraved and immoral
"We are all Hezbollah now," proclaimed one of the banners in the Stop the War coalition's London march. Really? It seems possible that more than one person has taken leave of their senses.
With Israel and Lebanon seemingly ready for a ceasefire, the march was a sign either of profound ignorance or a depraved indifference to human life. Either way, the moral idiocy of the sentiment betrayed the higher purpose of the march.
If we are all Hezbollah now, who are we?
Are we the violent hijackers of Lebanon who started this war without provocation and without reference to the elected government? Are we the "democrats" who hold hostages for years and murder political opponents?
Are we the suicide bombers, Hezbollah's contribution to civilization, randomly murdering innocents in the thousands — Muslims, Jews, Christians, Buddhists — for this cause or that?
Are we Hassan Nasrallah, terrorism's latest pinup boy, who competes with Iran's mad Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the most dedicated to kill Jews? He makes no secret of Hezbollah's genocidal ambitions. "If they [the Jews] all gather in Israel," he says, "it will save us the trouble of going after them on a worldwide basis."
Are we the puppets of our paymasters in Iran? Are we the cowards condemned as such by the United Nations humanitarian chief, Jan Egeland, for hiding our fighters and rocket launchers among women and children?
Are we not the cleverest of tacticians? If the human shield works, we are free to attack, and if it fails, Israel will bear the odium. What does it matter that our cruel deceit violates the Geneva Conventions?
Are we the renegades who have for six years treated with disdain the Geneva Conventions and international law (including United Nations resolution 1559, which calls for the disarming and disbanding of militias in Lebanon) by regularly launching rockets loaded with ball bearings to shred human flesh across the border into Israel? Yes, people died, six in a school bus, but they were only Jews. Did you see the world take notice? Nobody marched in London.
Are we the Islamic terrorist fiends who for more than two decades have kidnapped, tortured and killed numerous peacekeepers?
Yes, we are all these things and we are Samir Kuntar.
Perhaps the London marchers do not know of Samir Kuntar. He is locked up in an Israeli prison. It was to secure his release by blackmail that Hezbollah guerrillas crossed into Israel and kidnapped two Israelis, triggering the conflict. Samir Kuntar is emblematic of Hezbollah's values; he is their highest priority in any prisoner exchange, so let us hear about him from a woman who opposes his release. She is Smadar Haran, a social worker in Israel whom Kuntar met in 1979.
"It had been a peaceful Sabbath day. My husband, Danny, and I had picnicked with our little girls, Einat, 4, and Yael, 2, on the beach not far from our home in Nahariya, a city on the northern coast of Israel. Around midnight, we were asleep in our apartment when four terrorists from Lebanon landed in a rubber boat on the beach two blocks away.
"Gunfire and exploding grenades awakened us. Desperately we sought to hide. Danny helped our neighbor climb into a crawlspace above our bedroom. I went in behind her with Yael in my arms. Then Danny grabbed Einat and was dashing out of the front door when the terrorists came crashing in. They held Danny and Einat while they searched for me and Yael.
"I will never forget the joy and the hatred in their voices as they swaggered about hunting for us, firing their guns and throwing grenades. I knew that if Yael cried out, the terrorists would toss a grenade into the crawlspace, so I kept my hand over her mouth.
"As I lay there, I remembered my mother telling me how she had hidden from the Nazis during the Holocaust.
"The terrorists took Danny and Einat down to the beach. There, one of them shot Danny in front of Einat so that his death would be the last sight she would ever see. Then he smashed my little girl's skull in against a rocket with his rifle butt. That terrorist was Samir Kuntar. By the time we were rescued from the crawlspace hours later, Yael, too, was dead. In trying to save all our lives I had smothered her." We are all Hezbollah now.

Put all these sign carrying maggots for the hezbollah cause on the ten planes and let the PakiWaki LeT operatives carry out their mission.
Its always nice to hear from the Religion of Peace!
People that side with these savages have no place in our society,and should be thrown out.
The murderers of 241 American Marines, whose deaths have yet to be avenged and, it seems, never will be.
