Arab World Stands Behind Hezbollah
FoxNews ^ | Friday, July 21, 2006 | Foxnews

CAIRO, Egypt — The fighting between Israel and Hezbollah exposed divisions across the Arab world, not only between Shiites and Sunnis but also between Arab governments and their citizens.

Key Arab allies of the United States, predominantly Sunni countries such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, fear the rising power of Shiites in the region: Hezbollah militants who virtually control southern Lebanon, Iraq's majority Shiite government, and — most worrisome — the Shiite theocracy that has run Iran for decades.

Yet many ordinary people, Sunnis as well as Shiites, are cheering the Lebanese guerrillas because of their willingness to stand up to Israel.

Sitting in the shade as he sold figs in downtown Cairo, Hasan Salem Hasan, a 25-year-old Sunni, summed up a prevailing attitude of the so-called Arab street: "Although Hezbollah is a Shiite party, we are all Muslims, and all Arabs will defiantly support them and fight the Jews."

On the one hand, predominantly Sunni Arab states are tacitly encouraging the destruction of Hezbollah, concerned it could stage attacks and create militant cells outside of Lebanon. There is also fear that militant Sunnis could join with Hezbollah — as the Palestinian militant group Hamas has done — to build a super terrorist network.

Arab and the religion of peace support hezzies? Shocked me.



I am still blood thirsty because of September 11th. I am blood thirsty because now I know for a fact that there are people who wish to have no peace and they will not live in peace with me.

I support any State that is bringing a super terrorist network to justice.

My prayer for Israel: I thank God for protecting Israel. May God bless Israel's Troops with the strength not to judge our enemy and may God bless Israel's Troops with the strength to send those who wish to have no peace to a place of judgment. May God have mercy on their souls.

I pray in Yeshua's name and may the first gift of free will remain.


Today, the Hezzies fired 11 missiles and only five were wounded. I know for a fact that when we or Israel fires 11 missiles there will be more then five people wounded. Yes our enemy hides behind women and children and innocent are hurt.

May God have mercy on all of us, and may we get this dirty deed done in Godspeed.

Arabs have shown their worth to the world. If you can call it that.

Funny, I always thought they stood behind the women and children. (And camels, sheep and each other.)

"Arab World Stands Behind Hezbollah"

Not most of the governments. All you here from them is crickets chirping and talk about "disproportionality".

It seemed that way to me too. But it's differentiating between the Arab gov'ts and the people.

>>Arab World Stands Behind Hezbolla<<

There are only two sides.

Once again, the "Arab World" has chosen poorly.

Like cheering a WWF wrestler because of his willingness to stand up to a kindergartener.
I do believe the lad has a sling and some rocks though.

Good question. I am listening to Fox right now and Shep just mentioned quagmire. Wouldn't be no quagmire if they threw the media out of southern Lebanon. The entire world turn their back for five minutes and let the Israeli's do what you have to do to find people there who want to live in peace. For those who don't want peace, let them be judged by God.

It's not only that, but the arab people aren't all in alignment, either. I doubt any Sunni is rooting for the success of Hezbullah.

Headlines are often more powerful than the articles, because lazy people only read the headlines. Smarter people actually read the articles. Even smarter people wonder if they've been fed a line of BS.

sometimes that punk bully kindergartner needs to be pile driven.

I would suggest driving him into the dirt like a slimy little rodent in front of all the other little children so they know Hoosier Daddy.

matter of fact. I wanted two kids so I had three. I shot the first SOB that messed up big in front of the other two. You wouldn't believe how high I can get them to jump when I say, 'you better jump now!. Then I mumble coherently, 'I brought you into this world and I WILL take you out'. :-)

If I may be so bold, one of your statements is in error...let me correct you.

I support any State that is bringing a super terrorist network to justice.

There. Now it reads correctly, agree?
