Guys, after all the false conceptions you have about me (e46M3) I still enjoy coming back home late at night after having a couple of beers in Gemayze street here in Beirut! I am half German and half Lebanese but I do consider myself an Arab nationalist who would love to see Lebanon and Palestine freed from Israeli occupation .
I am still waiting to write to you e46M3 by using your first real name…
I support and defend Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine because they are the only “effective” organizations left at the moment who are and can confront Israel and the US. I support them in their resistance as long as Israel is not giving us Arabs our rights back! I certainly do not support Hamas when it comes to STATE BUILDING since I do enjoy my beers too much. But where is there a STATE in PALESTINE to worry about this now???
I really wish that we still had secular (like me!!!) resistance fighters and leaders like Marwan Barghoti and Samir al Kantar and Gamal ab AL Nasser but unfortunately the secular Arab movements lost their faith and determination in resisting Israel and fighting for the nonnegotiable rights of the Arab people in Palestine and Lebanon. Instead those secular Arab movements drifted into corruption and the love of authority and power. The real secular Heroes like Barghoti who would never compromise the rights of their people sit in Israeli Jail while the corrupt pro US servants sit in a royal Palace in Ramallah!
Let Israel free Barghoti today before tomorrow and I am sure he can revive the Palestinian secular movements to fight Israel and fight the sick corruption prevailing in Fatah under Mahmud Abbas! But why would Israel want to do something that will hurt itself?
Jadenblack started his/her post with what I call a simple 101 political science question!
He/she asked: What does Lebanon have that the US needs to conspire for?
Very Simple, Lebanon has a successful resistance (Hezbollah) who today (and yesterday) pose a real threat to Israel in its own backyard! Furthermore, the success of Hezbollah (Also known to the US STATE DEPARTMENT as the A-TEAM OF TERORRISTS!!!)
presents a dangerous model to follow and imitate for any Arab who wants to resist Israel! Hamas in the last 7 years started copying and learning from Hezbollah in its resistance activity! This is very dangerous to Israel and the US who is Israel’s babysitter in the region! Most Arabs have nothing against the American people, and if the US gov. could get its act right in the region and stop its double standards, we would have no problem with the US gov.
You guys brag about how nice the US is by providing the Lebanese army with weapons and think the US is doing us a favor! Wow I can’t imagine how naïve you are!
Of course the US will send Light military hardware (like artillery shells, M-16 rifles etc…) to Lebanon in order for us to flush out those Qaida style terrorists but will the US give us (Lebanese army) the right military hardware to confront the daily Israeli aggression? Daily the Leb. air space is being violated or Israeli land incursions and we have no military hardware to counter this aggression! I want somebody to answer me this question! Just a reminder JADENBLACK, the US sent Israel laser guided missiles to kill innocent Lebanese and destroy Lebanon last summer! I am fed up with your sadistic “crusader” government that vetoed a UN resolution to investigate the Jenin Massacre committed by the Israeli army!
Iran has offered weapons to the Lebanese army to use in its fight against Fatah al Islam but of course there is a political decision (by March 14) not to accept such help coz the US strictly forbids it! The Lebanese army must stay dependent on US military hardware so it can not do anything against US interests, like firing back at Israeli war planes or tanks!
You all must understand that Hezbollah’s sole role is to fight and resist Israel. Hezbollah after 1990 never used its guns against Lebanese citizens. A good example is the case of 1993 when at a anti-Oslo demonstration 8 Hezbollah demonstrators were killed by the Leb. security forces! Hezbollah leadership acted wisely and forbid retaliation for these unjustifiable killings. Another case is after the liberation of the south when Hezbollah did not retaliate against Lahad traitors and handed them over to the Leb. security forces. Hezbollah can not fight Fatah al Islam since Fatah al Islam is a Sunni fundamentalist movement (%70 Lebanese Sunnis) and this would ignite sectarian violence. It is a trap set up by Harirri and Saudi Arabia!
Again I call for a tribunal to investigate the financers and creators of Fatah al Islam! Interestingly nobody of you seems interested in this matter! You just want to blame Syria until Judgment Day has come (Maybe then you realize the truth) and lash out at Hezbollah!
Jadenblack, the US Marines killed in Lebanon in 1983 was the fault of your administration. They were sent by Reagan to Lebanon to take sides with the Leb. President of Amin Gumayel and not to be neutral as they claimed! The Italian peace keepers were respected in Lebanon and not attacked becoz they stayed neutral in the labyrinth of Lebanese politics and conflicts! You should have stayed neutral and not fire with the New Jersey gun boat on Leb. who were opposed to you presence! It is also time for you army to get out of Iraq before you have 4000 innocent soldiers killed! They must suffer in Iraq or elsewhere in the world while your President Bush never fought a real battle or as Clinton, having a good time with Monica Lewinsky in the highest office in America! They should be made to suffer and not the poor kid from Harlem serving in the army to get killed for no reason. Your society should first fix its problems at home before going out claiming to fix the problems of others!
I know that I am wasting my time trying to explain to you how I see things in the ME since you and I, will keep disagreeing on this hot topic. But I do want to present my case to you and let you know that there are a lot of Arabs who think like me!
Plz keep in mind, I do not have any personal problems with you, just political ones! Take care
