Nasrallah: Israel is Readying for Another War

He did it again, the often referred to ‘Leader’, ‘head’, ‘chief’, Hezbollah secretary-general made the headlines in news sources worldwide.

What interested me the most was an article that was published in Haaretz, a newspaper that was once named “Israel’s liberal beacon” by The Nation. Shortly after yesterdays charged speech, Haaretz Arab affairs correspondent Yoav Stern wrote an erroneous article headlined “Nasrallah: We’re readying for war with Israel within months,” attributing a false allegation against Israel’s popular, ardent and much feared foe.

Readers of that headline are falsely led to believe that it is Nasrallah that is preparing and threatening to wage war against Israel, only the opposite is true. It is clearly evident to anyone who listens to Nasrallah’s speech, that he says, and I quote Yediot Ahranot, “The Hajj Imad Mugniyah was killed in the framework of an open war and in an unprecedented step through which Israel is preparing a new war. I don’t wish to scare anyone. They are the ones making decisions on war and peace.”

Further, in the Jerusalem post, one of Israels right-wing conservative newspapers, Nasrallah is quoted as stating that “After their war in Tamuz [Second Lebanon War], Israel is getting ready for a new war. I don’t mean to scare, but warn.” This further reinforces what was actually said, which clearly contradicts Stern's fallacious and illegitimate reference.

Perhaps Stern accidently mistranslated the speech; maybe, Haaretz should find a replacement to cover Arab affairs, one preferably skilled and fluent in the Arabic language, because, after all, the last time I checked, Arabs did speak Arabic.

Israel Declares "Open War" Against Hezbollah

AIPAC - America's pro-Israel lobby that has successfully managed to stifle real debate in the United States on all Middle Eastern issues announced in it's online briefing that "Hezbollah declares 'open war' against Israel," which I quite frankly find hard to believe, after considering what they quote Hezbollah's secretary general, who they prefer to call Hezbollah's "chief", as saying:

Zionists, if you want this kind of open war, let the whole world listen: Let this war be open.

The declaration of open war was in fact not something Hezbollah initiated. Instead, the Israeli's declared it in a more disdainful and disrespectful manner! How?

It started with the bloody assassination of Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus, Syria. The nature of the assassination, in the heart of a country, foreign to the battleground that once confined the war between the Israeli's and Hezbollah is the blatant declaration of "open war" by the Israeli's on Hezbollah.

Consequently, Nasrallah's declaration is a response to Israel's escalation of violence, it's disrespect for international boundaries and the sovereignties of it's neighbors, which ultimately feeds into the further destabilization of an already volatile region.

AIPAC, notorious for imparting the false idea of Israel's victim hood in the minds of both American Jews and the American people goes on to further to state that,

as a result of Nasrallah’s threat, Israel ordered its military and embassies overseas on high alert and recommended that Jewish institutions worldwide do the same.

Instilling fear in the hearts of Jews worldwide and playing on the emotions of the American people, who definitely don't want to see any attacks in their dear country. AIPAC seeks sympathy and justification for Israel's actions, as she with her ill calculated actions continuously feeds the whirlwind of violence that is consuming the region.

Israel's own sons and daughters are speaking out against their government's policies; they are not genetically predisposed to hate or kill, yet they are forced, coerced, and pressured to do so, much like the minds of Americans are deceptively manipulated to support the committing of atrocious actions worldwide. Once a peep of resistance or nonconformity is heard, a hailstorm of condemnation and unjust accusations are fired at these voices, diminishing if not exterminating them. But Nay, the voices of what one man called "legitimate discontent" will be heard, and this silencing of truth will cease! America, the surrogate mother, must not distinguish between her sons, she must listen to and love them equally!
