Weakness

Drybones' latest:

Nasrallah on the Jewish weakness:

Another weakness is that both as individuals and as a collective,
they are described by Allah as "the people who guard their lives most."
Their strong adherence to this world, with all its vanities and
pleasures, constitutes a weakness.

In contrast, our people and our nation's willingness to sacrifice
their blood, souls, children, fathers, and families for the sake of the
nation's honor, life, and happiness has always been one of our nation's
strengths.

    I can’t comment on this because words fail me!

    Allan W Janssen is the author of the book “The Plain Truth About God-101″ (what the church doesn’t want you to know!) http://www.God-101.com

  2. limpia Says:

    This is so interesting (even in Mohammeds’ time this difference between the groups was seen so clearly!), and actually so true! Yet Nasrallah certainly does guard his life, as does Saddam and others at the top of their heep. limpia

  3. SoCalJustice Says:

    It’s obvious Nasrallah hates (meaning, he has no value for them other than as “martyrs”) Arabs - yet so many love him.

    “our people and our nation’s willingness to sacrifice
    their blood, souls, children, fathers, and families for the sake of the
    nation’s honor, life, and happiness has always been one of our nation’s
    strengths.”

    Plus, he added, we make great coffee. Yes, our coffee, like our desire for selfless martyrdom, is strong.

  4. Nadav Says:

    it’s an anigma to me how israel managed to survive 5 (now 6?) and a half wars. I guess there must be a god, after all.

    wasn’t it nazer who said he’s willing to sacrifice 5 milion egyptians for the elimination of israel? it’s a good thing he never got around to actually implement that thought.

  5. D.B. Shobrawy Says:

    Ones own rhetoric can make himself believe anything. If you claim to value national honor over your own life then you will and if your in a position of power you can make everyone else too.

  6. Texanesone Says:

    And if we just understand them and figure out what we did to make them so mad at us ’cause we’re all really alike and nobody wants war and their religion is really peaceful and blah blah blah.

  7. Drima aka SudaneseThinker Says:

    People you are missing a very important point. You all blame Iran for being the root when it’s really not.

    It’s CHINA people!! Don’t you think so? I just wrote about it on my blog. China is the one aiding Iran with nuclear technology and as such makes Iran more confident which in turn creates a ripple effect.

  8. Peter S Says:

    An interesting corollary to this is a comment made by the author of “What I learned as a Captured Israeli Soldier,” currently available on Time magazine’s web site:

    The Israeli army is based on two laws: a wounded soldier would never be left behind and neither would a captured soldier. It’s a part of how the army has been able to defend itself against millions of Arabs. It’s not political; it’s a special spirit. We know we won’t be left wounded or captured. The issue that these captured soldiers were just an excuse for Israel to start this war — maybe it’s true. But almost every big war was started with an excuse.

    Totally reminds me of what General George Patton once said:

    “The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his.”

    We should all help Nasrallah and his ilk in their goal of dying for the sake of their nation.

  13. Drima aka SudaneseThinker Says:

    RocketRay, thanx for that saying. Hilarious! I still don’t know which is funny… the cartoon or what the General said.

  14. Drima aka SudaneseThinker Says:

    Shit they’re both funny. Damn, today is a good day. I’m just too happy!

  15. Jason from Toronto Says:

    Yes Drima China has a hand in behind it all. Once upon a time the Soviets did too. I wonder how much Putin’s hand is still there.

    On a different topic. SM have you seen this? http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20035246-23109,00.html

    Hezballah: No Matter Who Dies - They’re Happy

    … in the final tally at the end of the war of humanity against the inhumanity of radical Islam, the Nasrallahs of radical Islam, their minions, and their dark ideology, will all eventually be delegated to history’s trash heap.

  19. Twosret Says:

    When 33 innocent civilian farmers eating lunch in South Lebanon Israelis kill them, I find here a cartoon with HizboAllah instead of condemnation to the aggression of Israel the blood thirsty nation.

  20. Freedoms Zone Says:

    Hezballah: No Matter Who Dies - They’re Happy

    Compare his view of weakness with that of a great Jewish leader’s view of strength…

  21. Ronn Says:

    Twosret, Hezbollah has the moral obligation not to shoot rockets FROM civilian farms INTO civilian farms.

  22. Twosret Says:

    You know what Ronn, you should be ashamed to justify Israel aggression and killing civilians, enough lies really enough is enough, looking at how many civilians are dying on both sides and then you can make a reasonable point.

  23. Twosret Says:

    *looking at how many civilans are dying on both sides I can easily tell you are not making a reasonable point*

    Rafah civilians are also dying on the Israel occupation force.

    shame on Israel!

  24. mike Says:

    Yeah, because all those dead Israeli’s keep you up at night….right?

  25. Twosret Says:

    You will never achieve peace Mike by aggression, even the moderates in the Arab world are hating your guts for your aggression on innocents. Your shameful war tactics and abortion of human laws, your barbaric, savagery will lead you no where.

    Condy rice ‘ quote

    …”Syria is an integral part of our present problem in the North, but it could become part of the solution to that problem. It is the weak link in the Iranian-Syrian-Hezbullah axis. Without Syria, the Iranians would find it vastly more difficult to support its surrogate army in Lebanon. With Syria firmly in the axis, they can, through the Syrians, go a long way to undermining any agreement reached replacing the old order in south Lebanon with a multinational force. The international community will find it very difficult to establish such a force without at least the tacit agreement of Hezbullah, and its attitude will depend to a large extent on the stand taken by the Syrians.

    Weak as it is, Syria still has the capacity to throw a spanner in the works and make the aftermath to the fighting much more difficult for us.

    Our refusal to have anything to do with the Syrians is, to a large extent, an extension of American policy toward Damascus. President Bush has, time and again, made it very clear that the Syrian regime is not his preferred flavor of the month. In his eyes, the Syrians aid and abet terror, and for him, very correctly so, there is no worse crime than that. Yet not so long ago the Libyans were in exactly the same situation, and today the Stars and Stripes fly proudly and defiantly over the newly reopened American Embassy in the Libyan capital.

    The Syrians would dearly like to mend their fences with the Americans and emerge from their present isolation. They would have to pay a heavy price - close their frontier with Iraq, eject the Iraqi insurgents harboring inside Syria, expel Khaled Mashal and his cronies from Damascus, stop arming Hezbullah and cut their links with Teheran. A tall order? Not necessarily, especially not if it would help them to extricate themselves from the ongoing investigation into the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri. Their preferred route for reengaging the US is to start talking with Israel.

    Should we? Can we pick up the Syrian gauntlet? Only within a package deal involving the United States, and Lebanon. The Americans must first be persuaded that prying Syria away from the clutches of Iran is an objective worth pursuing. The advantages
    for us are manifest: defusing the dangerous Iranian-led axis in the North, expelling the Hamas and Jihad extremists from Damascus, paving the way for relations with the rest of the Arab world. There is, of course, the Golan. Successive prime ministers, including Binyamin Netanyahu, had been willing to compromise our position on the Golan for the sake of peace with Syria. Future negotiations with the weak Assad could probably produce better results for us than previous efforts.

    As we enter the last stages of this present war, we must face the challenge of the political and diplomatic aftermath and make sure that we are not, yet once more, in a situation where we win military battles but lose the political ones coming in their wake. The fighting that Hezbullah provoked is creating an opportunity for change, providing we think big and know what to demand. Let us not miss this opportunity”…

  27. Peter-Australia Says:

    Is it just me or does this seem really stupid:
    Lebanon has rejected a draft UN resolution proposed by the US and France that calls for “full cessation of hostilities” between Israel and Hezbollah.
    “Unfortunately, it lacked, for instance, a call for the withdrawal of Israeli forces which are now in Lebanon. That is a recipe for more confrontation.”

    He said the government was also unhappy that the resolution does not call for the Shebaa Farms area to be put under UN control, as Lebanon has asked, while its future status is figured out.
    http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/5AEA516B-5199-4477-907B-5E2A4B481A49.htm

    I can understand about the withdrawal of Israeli forces, which the plan says will stay until multinational force arrives, but the Shebaa Farms has been stated by the UN to be Syria’s.

    More information go to http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/ and watch “Attempts at diplomacy” video.

  28. Jason from Toronto Says:

    Well their and Hezbollah ministers insistance that Israeli withdraw right away is a pretty bold demand from a government too weak to either fight Hezbollah or Israel. And of course Hezbollah wants the full retreat of Israeli soldiers, they are getting their asses kicked and know they would never be able to themselves.
    Israel must stand strong on that point. No retreat without international mandate to hold Hezbollah out of the south.

    Twosret you come across as much a racist as those you try to condemn. And only a short few steps away from complete dismissal as a Islamofacist.

  29. Papa Ray Says:

    So, this religious leader says that they will sacrifice anything including their children.

    So I guess that makes me believe this:

    Lebanese report: Hezbollah planted disabled children in basement to die

    What is the proper punishment (here on earth) for people that woud kill children, premeditated, in cold blood?

  31. Drima aka SudaneseThinker Says:

    Twosret does have a point. In this war the US and Israel are simply creating more of what they’re trying to destroy. I’ve posted about it numerous times on my blog. The images of death being seen by the new generation act as a confirmation to them that Israel is indeed evil as their previous generation told them. That’s how it all starts… Anger, hatred, terrorist tendancies and finally kaboom there goes a bus in Tel Aviv… Even if Israel destroys Hezbollah, another one will emerge after a while in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq or other places. This will be a looong war unless the Palestinian cause is solved (Jerusalem people!) and finally we as Muslims change our mentality of hatred towards Israel. They’ve committed injustices and still do but unless we learn to forgive and forget, shit won’t change. WII taught Europeans a lot. Maybe we need a little more death so we can all hit rock bottm and realize how mad we are… HEALING MUST START but how? Bombs are still raining on Lebanon… Sigh! Thank you IDF… You may win now but 50 years from now there will just be more terrorists I fear… Sigh! Great strategy!

  32. Jason from Toronto Says:

    You think the fear of future terrorists should stop nations from taking actions now and that’s the end of your projecting?
    If there are more terrorists 50 years from now with weak nations that won’t stop them from acting out. Then you could theorize then that there will be more bombing runs over Beirut or wherever. Which would breed more terrorists which leds to more reprisal attacks. ETC
    Can you see now why it’s imperative that Lebanon becomes accountable for all activity launched from it’s territory? That if it can’t at least prevent a 3rd party from striking out. Then at least it responds to control and administer punishment to said groups.

  33. Suzanne Says:

  34. Twosret Says:

    Jason from Toronto,

    “Twosret you come across as much a racist as those you try to condemn. And only a short few steps away from complete dismissal as a Islamofacist.”

    and you sound like a zionist terrorist, occupier and aggressor .

  35. Suzanne Says:

    Sounds familiar:

    Btw,

    According to Hitler’s theory propounded in Mein Kampf, what was unique about the Aryan was his willingness to abandon self-interest and transcend egoism in the name of surrendering to the community. What was “most strongly developed in the Aryan,” Hitler said, was the “self-sacrificing will to give one’s personal labor and if necessary one’s own life for others.” The Aryan was “not greatest in his mental abilities as such,” but rather in the “extent of his willingness to put all his abilities in the service of the community.” The Aryan according to Hitler willingly “subordinates his own ego to the life of the community” and “if the hour demands it” even sacrifices himself.

    The Jew by contrast, Hitler said, represented the “mightiest counterpart to the Aryan.” Whereas the Aryan willingly sacrificed himself for the community, in the Jewish people the “will to self-sacrifice does not go beyond the individual’s naked instinct of self-preservation.” The Jew lacked completely, Hitler believed, the “most essential requirement for a cultured people, the idealistic attitude.” The Jew’s “absolute absence of all sense of sacrifice” expressed itself as “cowardice.”

  36. Jeffrey Says:

    “(Jason)and you sound like a zionist terrorist, occupier and aggressor .”

    Twosret, stop with the stale, tired, 1970’s propaganda. Lashing out at Jason, does not add any light, only heat to the argument. Yes, he might be a zionist terrorist, occupier and aggressor. Yet, he may be a self hating arab, collaborator, coward. Or he may be just a regular person with an opinion that you do not like. So please grow up.

  37. Karen Says:

    This is how I see it. Israel need to do everything it can to hurt Hez. and hurt them bad NOW. Those crazy terrorists are willing to sacrifice thier own children just to win a p.r. war against Israel. They also couldn’t care less about murdering Israeli Arabs as well. So when Iran has finally achieved getting nuclear weapons is there any doubt about them firing them into Israel? There is not doubt in my mind. Iran has stated that they want to wipe Israel off the map. And I now know that they will sacrifice the Palestinians to do so. Their goal is a Middle East without Israel and a world without Jews…they don’t care if a few million Arabs are taken out too.

  38. Karen Says:

    Drima,

    I don’t think that Israel can do anything that will make the Arab/Muslim world hate them more than they already do. How many degrees of hate are there? But what I can tell you is that watching the hate and propaganda spew from the mouths of Arab and Muslim leaders is turning quite a few previously liberal Jews into haters. Watching them murder Israelis with their “brave” rocket attacks doesn’t foster love for these people and their supporters on my part either. Remeber, Arabs are not the only ones dying, although you wouldn’t really know that with the way main stream media creates and presents the news.

  39. Jason from Toronto Says:

    Twosret: “and you sound like a zionist terrorist, occupier and aggressor .”

    Well if wanting Lebanon to assert it’s authority over all it’s territory. Wanting a radical militia, no matter what you want to describe it, to be disarmed. Wanting to see Lebanon resolve it’s border with both Israel and Syria. Wanting to see any innocent Lebanese prisoners returned from both Israel and Syria. Wanting to see all land mines removed from any where in Lebanon or the entire world for that matter. Wanting to see a peace agreement, not a state of war since 48 with an armistice agreement since 48, to be concluded with Israel. If all that makes me a zionist (haha think my kufir/gentil-ness disqualifies me from that) terrorist, occupier and aggressor.. well that just proves how blind you are. Any view opposing yours is met with bias and bigotry. I terrorize no one. I occupy no ones land. And aggressor? Hell I don’t recall the last time I was involved in any kind of violent confrontation so I must be really bad at aggression.
    You my friend are proving to be exactly what I said you were (key word here) SOUNDING like. A racist and a few short steps from being dismissed as an Islamofacist.
    Please get some originality in your comebacks. Not everyone that doesn’t see things your way is a Zionist or a Neo-con Yankee Imperialist.

  40. Twosret Says:

    May I ask who invited a zionist terrorist to save Lebanon? we are playing God aren’t we? very sick Jason very sick…..I don’t give a damn what you think of me Jason boy from Toronto, stop your war and stop your aggression on the innocent Lebanese people, the same way you did in 1982 this is not your first war against an innocent arab nation, what a bunch of savages you are to justify your war.

  41. Jason from Toronto Says:

    Twosret: If I were playing God you wouldn’t be breathing in your current incarnation. Neither would anyone else espousing such bs. You’d be creating more bs, but in the figurative sense.
    BTW thanks for attributing the war as mine. Innocent Lebanese? Hardly they are any more or less innocent than the average Israeli or Iranian or Congolese or Canadian.

    My war? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Fucking bigot.

  42. Jason from Toronto Says:

    PS Israel has every right to take an active interest in any Government or Organization outside it’s borders that takes an active interest in Israel. Whether that interest is good or bad is irrelevent. Hezbollah is an enemy of Israel. Lebanon has been in a state of war since 48 with Israel. Hence the responce from Israel should NOT have come as any suprise to you. But obviously you are irrational and delusion and just want to run crying to mommy.

  43. Twosret Says:

    Jumbo language mumbo Jason

  44. Twosret Says:

    Go to Israel and help the mothers of your soldiers and innocent people die instead of sitting on your butt in Toronto spouting some Garbage online. Might as well join the IDF and experience the horrors of war, only then you will know what I mean.

    What an idiot you are!

  45. Twosret Says:

    *Go to Israel and help the mothers of your soldiers mourn and the innocent people who died in your country because of your war monger politicians*

  46. Jason from Toronto Says:

    My soldiers? My innocent people? Wow you have certainly raised my importance in this world if they are all mine.
    As for me getting of my butt to go fight for Israel. Why don’t you do the same. Stop spouting off your bigoted trash talk online and go fight for “the cause”. Go become another footsoldier in Nasrallahs armies and die winning like the rest of them. I don’t need to experience the horrors of war to know how horrible it can get. I have heard enough from those that fought in various wars around the globe. For you to even attempt to compare this fight to various other global conflicts shows how out of touch you are about how bad it can be.
    Oh and I have politicians now too? War mongering ones at that. I must be Nasrallah then eh. Pffft.
    You just continue to prove how fucked up your logic is.
    Now if you really want to insult me then you need to get personal on me. Try to get closer to the truth. Your about as dead on about me as that dude claiming SM was a Coptic. So to clear this up .. I am Jason from Toronto and I am not semetic nor jewish nor Israeli. Get that right next time.

  47. Twosret Says:

    idiot! and will never get it that is my final word. In Arabic Homar! who said I’m muslim either idiot! at least I don’t support Nasarallah like you support the zionist occupiers.

    Idiot!

  49. Jason from Toronto Says:

    Reduced to nothing more than shooting off a name. There’s where you always end with anyone who disagrees with your world view. Haven’t seen you say that your not a muslim. Anti-Israeli thoughts aren’t confined to muslim either. BTW I never claimed what you were other than a bigoted pompous asswipe. I did say you SOUNDED like an Islamofacist but so do a wack of WASP commies

  52. Canicula Says:

    Twosret, the problem with aggression and aggressors is that they don’t CARE what moderates anywhere think of them or their actions. The extremist muslims, extremist zionists, extremist christians, extremist anyones, don’t give a damn what people think of them or their ideology or actions.

    They’ve made peace with the madness within them and to do what they do, they must in some way be rationalising dropping bombs on children or blowing themselves up in on a bus full of kids and old people. You’re preaching to the choir when you appeal for peace on the grounds of the death of innocents, because the ones who do it don’t care and the ones who care don’t do it.

  53. Jason from Toronto Says:

    Oooo canicula you may have opened a can of worms directing opposing beliefs at Twosret.. he may decide to try and insult you in french :P

  54. Jason from Toronto Says:

    Twosret: Omak

    What about my mother?

    So easy for you to dismiss people that don’t agree with you with insults. Your just so “elitist” aren’t you. Superior to everyone and everything that doesn’t fit your world view. Do you honestly believe everyone is a zionist or neocon or plain idiots/morons/imbeciles that don’t agree with you? Do you really think that makes you better than me? Hmm? Your blindness to your own bigotry and simple-mindedness is amusing. Did you realize that? That all you do is amuse me?
    Curse me in any language of your choice. It just don’t change the fact of what you are and how pathetic you present yourself before the world. Sure some people may agree with you but that doesn’t make you any better (or worse) than what you are.
    An by continuing this exchange and trying to drag others in doesn’t show anything but the fact that you are no more nor less mature or right than me.

    So Kus Omak right back at ya buddy. *Wonders how well Twosret enjoys his Kus Omak :P

  55. Jason from Toronto Says:

    Okay. I will say it in here now too. I apologize for presuming Twosret was a man.
