Description:
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"

"The Israeli government claims that it targets only Hezbollah, and that fighters from the group are using civilians as human shields, thereby placing them at risk. Human Rights Watch found NO CASES in which Hezbollah deliberately used civilians as shields to protect them from retaliatory IDF attack."

Thank you for correcting me, I meant Galilee, not Sderot.

Hezbollah bombed Israel as a retaliation for Israels indiscriminate attack on Lebanese civilians. What did you expect Hezbollah to do, throw water bombs on Galilee?

"The Lebanese are good people and I pity them for having been controlled my Hizbullah"
Hezbollah have immense grass root support in the South of Lebanon, no one can deny this. If you spoke to a follower of the March14 coalition then what can you expect him to say about Hezbollah?
I can speak to a Jew who is against the State of Israel, yet that does NOT mean the jew I spoke to represents the opinion of the majority, does it?
