BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Chanting ``death to Israel'' and ``death to America,'' tens of thousands of Lebanese marched Friday through the streets of Beirut in support of Palestinians' third year of uprising.
Smaller anti-Israel demonstrations were held in other Arab capitals, too, with speakers condemning the United States' backing of Israel and for leading attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq as part of the war on terrorism.
``No matter how much the world changes after Sept. 11, 'death to America' will remain our echoing slogan,'' the leader of the militant Hezbollah group, sheik Hassan Nasrallah, said in his fiery address in Beirut.
Hezbollah, which is on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations, called for Friday's demonstration, which was attended by several Lebanese and Palestinian officials.
The black-turbaned Nasrallah urged Arabs and Muslims to support the Palestinian uprising, which, he said, ``is heading toward victory.''
Echoing warnings made at other demonstrations, he also charged that any American attack on Iraq would be followed by attacks on Iran, Syria and other Arab states.
About 400 to 500 worshippers chanted ``God is greater than America'' at Cairo's Al-Azhar mosque, the most respected theological center in the Muslim world, in a prelude to a larger demo planned for Saturday.
In Syria, more than 500 people marched silently through Damascus, while about 1,000 bearded men and veiled women chanted ``death to Israel'' in a peaceful but noisy rally in Jordan.
Death to Israel is a peaceful message in their vision, considering this:
ROFLMAO!!!
he also charged that any American attack on Iraq would be followed by attacks on Iran, Syria and other Arab states.
I would wish them to be simultanious!
He is right here however, as Syria and other states will take advantage of any hostilities to attack Israel, and will in return get the ass whupping they so deserve.
...then go back to their pitiful lives.
Its's time for Arabs to face reality
