Celebration of Savagery

July 17/08

Today in Lebanon, Hezbollah is celebrating the return of terrorists held in Israeli jails for committing despicable crimes against humanity. Among them is Samir Kuntar, a terrorist-serial killer responsible for killing an innocent unarmed Israeli civilian and his daughter. Mr. Kuntar took 31 year-old Danny Haran hostage along with his four year-old daughter, Einat. Kuntar shot Danny at close range in the back, in front of his daughter, and drowned him in the sea to ensure he was dead. Next, he smashed the head of 4 year-old Einat on beach rocks and crushed her skull with the butt of his rifle.

Such savagery is being branded as heroism by Hezbollah and we are not surprised. But it is a shame for the Lebanese government officials to greet these killers as heroes and sanction their actions as legitimate resistance. The action of the Lebanese officials is an insult to all Lebanese and especially the ones who died at the hand of Hezbollah when it sacked Beirut in May 2008. In this dark day, the Lebanese president Michel Sleiman, and Prime Minister Saniora, have lost all credibility and wiped out all goodwill they had gained from the world. I, as a Lebanese citizen am ashamed by these so-called leaders of my country.

And to top the barbarism off, the two Israeli soldiers were returned back to Israel as corpses. For two years, Hezbollah kept their death a secret, and their families were anxious until the last minute not knowing whether to celebrate or mourn, until they saw their coffins. Once more, Iran’s Hezbollah is showing the world its ugly, inhumane, and trashy sadism.

Our sincere condolences to Israel, to its brave and decent people, and to the families of all Israeli victims of terror. Please be assured, that there are decent Lebanese out here, and we are the majority. We feel with you. We pray for the day we can establish peace and friendly relations between our countries. It will be the day when we defeat our common enemy; Hezbollah!

July 16, is a day of shame for Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran. As to those who are celebrating in Lebanon today, they all belong to the trash bin of history.
