We are all Hezbollah now’
New Mideast unity backs Lebanon’s fighters
By Joyce Chediac
Published Aug 14, 2006 9:32 PM

The U.S.-Israeli slaughter of Lebanese people and destruction of the Lebanese infrastructure has badly backfired for imperialism and all its agents in the Middle East. A new spirit of struggle is rising in the region, targeting all the oppressors in that area.
Hezbollah recruits in Beirut.

Hezbollah recruits in Beirut.

After decades of U.S., French and Israeli attempts to divide them, today the population of Lebanon stands united in a way not seen since the 1970s. From Christians to Sunnis to Shias, from urbane Beirutis to rural farmers, “We are all Hezbollah now!” is the mood of the day.

“We are all Hezbollah” is also heard in the streets from Yemen to Saudi Arabia to Egypt. Support for the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance has turned to anger against Arab regimes that have stood by and let this happen.

The “wheels of change may already be churning in the Middle East as the rift between official government policies and popular sentiment on the ‘Arab street’ becomes increasingly evident,” reported the Arab news service Al-Jazeera on Aug. 3. (english.aljazeera.net)

Anger turns against U.S.-client regimes

For decades, Israel has attacked neighboring countries at will. Now, from Tehran to Cairo, the oppressed watch, electrified and proud, as a small Lebanese people’s militia inflicts more punishment on Israel in a month than hundreds of thousands of regular Arab troops have in over 50 years. In Cairo, protesters praised the Lebanese resistance leader with shouts of, “Tell Nasrallah we are all Hezbollah.”

Israel wants Canada in UN force
Envoy says Canadians might patrol coast or Lebanon-Syria border

Kelly Patrick
The National Post

Wednesday, August 16, 2006

TORONTO - The Israeli ambassador is floating the possibility of asking Canada to help patrol Lebanon's coast and its border with Syria to keep smuggled arms from reaching Hezbollah.

While he cautioned that it was still "early days," Alan Baker said yesterday he plans to discuss Canada's potential contribution with the Prime Minister's Office and Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay in the next few days.

He said Israel is considering dispatching Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to Ottawa for talks on the subject.

"I think there's more that Canada can do now," Mr. Baker said in a conference call with reporters and members of the Canadian Jewish community.

"Whilst I realize that Canada is pretty heavily engaged in Afghanistan ... I think there's still a lot of work that Canada can do, perhaps in the field of patrolling the border between Lebanon and Syria."

Mr. Baker also suggested Canadian ships could participate in naval patrols along the Mediterranean Sea coasts of Lebanon and Israel.
