Don't have a link but remember hearing on the news that Hezbollah's rocket attacks were still going on during Israel's suspension. Here's a pic of Hezbollah in a residential area: bartoszweglarczyk.blox.pl Here's a report on Hezbollah victimizing southern Lebanese Christian villages: Hezbollah's Christian 'shields' ReligionAndSpirituality.com WASHINGTON, August 3 (UPI) — A U.S. Christian group is accusing Hezbollah of using Christian villages in Lebanon to shield its military operations against Israel. Christian Solidarity International said Wednesday in a news release that Hezbollah, a Shia Muslim group supported by Iran, in southern Lebanese Christian villages, such as Ain Ebel, Rmeish, Alma Alshaab and others are being used by Hezbollah terrorists for launching missile attacks. "Hezbollah is repeating the same pattern that it practiced against Israel in 1996," says former South Lebanese Army commander, Col. Charbel Barkat. "Hezbollah is hiding among civilian populations and launching attacks behind human shields." A Christian from the village of Ain Ebel, who is nameless because he fears retribution by Hezbollah, discovered Hezbollah guerillas were setting up a launcher to fire Katyusha rockets from the rooftop of his home. Ignoring his pleas to stop, they fired the missiles. He immediately gathered his family and fled home, which indeed was bombed and destroyed 15 minutes later by an Israeli air strike. In addition to having their homes commandeered for launching Hezbollah's attacks, there have been attempts to obstruct Christians from fleeing their villages. On Saturday, July 28, Hezbollah fighters fired upon Christians fleeing Rmeish with their families, wounding two, according to Christian sources in south Lebanon. Meanwhile, Sami El-Khoury, president of the World Maronite Union, says that reports on Christian support for Hezbollah are misleading. "Contrary to Western press reports, indicating high percentages of Christian support for Hezbollah, 90 percent of Christians, 80 percent of Sunni and 40 percent of Shiites in Lebanon oppose Hezbollah," says El-Khoury. religionandspiritualityforum.com Here the CNN folks reveal Hezbollah is anti-semitic: CNN discovers that Hezbollah hate Jews Islamophobic By Charles Martel Shock Horror! at CNN - like wow, Hezbollah really are a bunch of neo-Nazis. I guess the folks at CNN must have turned a blind eye to all the Hitler salutes. CNN transcript here I think what's been lost in a lot of this coverage is just how anti-Semitic Hezbollah is in the rhetoric. JEFFREY GOLDBERG, "THE NEW YORKER": Yes, it's absolutely fascinating, Anderson. The anti-Semitism -- there's two things that are fascinating, rather. One is how embedded in the core of Hezbollah ideology, anti-Semitism is. And I don't mean anti-Israel thinking or anti-Zionism. I mean frank anti-Semitism. The other thing that's so interesting about it is how blunt they are and how frank they are about their anti-Semitism. They don't hide it. They don't try to mask it in any way. They state very openly to you when you ask their exact feelings about Jews, which are quite extreme. COOPER: It's interesting because I talked to a representative news editor from al-Manar TV, and I asked him, you know, does Hezbollah still want to destroy the state of Israel? And I know Larry King has asked him that same question, and he rarely -- he basically doesn't answer that question. He sort of seems to avoid it. Which is so at odds because I mean Nasrallah himself is very point blank and matter of fact and open about his hatred of Jews. But, fair dues to Mr Cooper for bringing this up on CNN. He deserves a pat on the back for exposing this in a mainstream news outlet. I'm still waiting for the BBC to do the same. http://islamophobic.blogspot.com/2006/08/cnn-discovers-that-hezbollah-hate-jews.html
