Jennifer Loewenstein skriver en lidelsefull artikel om hur motståndet mot den militanta sionismen och de israelisk-amerikanska hegemonisträvandena stärks i det sönderbombade Libanon och det terroriserade Gaza, och resten av den på bindgalna och dödsdömda korståg utleda världen -läs!

"Thousands of Lebanese, Palestinians and others made a kind of pilgrimage to Fatima’s gate in the summer of 2000 to celebrate the end of Israel’s 22 -year occupation of south Lebanon. ‘Fatima’s gate’ denoted a stretch of land on the Lebanon-Israel border newly controlled by Hizbullah after it pursued the retreating Israeli forces back into Israel. Yellow Hizbullah flags flew everywhere. The atmosphere was festive and light. People set up souvenir stands selling Hizbullah memorabilia – flags, key-rings, postcards, pens – to commemorate the historic event. Families strolled up and back along the road pa! rallel to the border, pointing out the Israeli towns in the distance. Friends strode along together talking politics and stopping to stare at the last wreckages of the event, the burned out jeeps and cars, the bullet holes and shrapnel wounds in the facades of the walls and buildings left behind by the retreating Israelis.

Charles Krauthammer scoffed at the argument that Israel’s response to Hezbollah rocket attacks has been disproportionate, writing, “When the United States was attacked at Pearl Harbor, it did not respond with a parallel ‘proportionate’ attack on a Japanese naval base. It launched a four-year campaign that killed millions of Japanese, reduced Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki to cinders, and turned the Japanese home islands into rubble and ruin.” Those were the days.---"
