Raimondo's Bizarre Equivocations over Hezbollah

Let's rewind a tad. Hezbollah arrests two Jewish soldiers in Lebanon
and the racist Jews-only state in Palestine (Jos) uses this as a
pretext to launch a pre-planned, totally disproportionate, attack
deliberately targeting innocent Lebanese citizens and aiming to turn
southern Lebanon into a wasteland. These racist attacks recently
culminated in the slaughter of innocent Lebanese people, many of whom
were children, in Qana. One might have thought this was as blatant an
example of a black and white moral issue as it is possible to get in
international politics. But not according to Justin Raimondo who
argues that Hezbollah is as bad as the Jos. ...

Raimondo rightly points out that Hezbollah doesn't hide behind
civilians whilst attacking the racist Jos. "Hezbollah doesn't trust
noncombatants, and for that reason keeps well away from them no
matter what their religious, ethnic, or political affiliations.

"
(Justin Raimondo `Israel and 'Moral Equivalence''
http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=9459 August 2, 2006). He
also points out that the Jews' slaughter of innocent civilians is
rooted in Judaism by quoting a recent statement issued by the Yesha
Rabbinical Council: "According to Jewish law, during a time of
battle and war, there is no such term as 'innocents' of the enemy.
All of the discussions on Christian morality are weakening the
spirit of the army and the nation and are costing us in the blood of
our soldiers and civilians."



Nasrullah is a religious pluralist who has sought a
political rapprochement with Lebanese Christians. "Like Sadr,
however, he (Nasrullah) fully understood the multitude of Lebanon's
confessional system, never once calling for an Islamic state in
Lebanon, and always proclaiming to be a firm believer in the right
of all Lebanese, regardless of religion, to live in harmony." (Sami
Moubayed `Lebanon guided by the Nasrullah factor' Asia Times
February 26, 2005).
