Norman Finkelstein - Hezbollah, the Honour of Lebanon

"It's better to die on your feet than
to walk crawling on your knees....
how can you not respect

those who say they would rather die on
their feet? How can YOU not respect that?"


Norman Finkelstein makes some
really good points...

Who can dispute most of this Video?
Resistance for Iraq, Afghanistan, Native People
Of North America, Other Parts of the World
Mainly Palestine....Let the Resistance Continue!

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"
