Islamic Spring 3

It took the Jewish People of the Likud and Irgun who liberated their county Israel from the British. It was the Jews who got the British out of Palestine not the Arabs. An Egyptian called Yasser Arafat pulled the biggest con job on the world by claiming Israel is Palestine.Under a British Mandate before 1948 it was an insult to call an Arab a Palestinian as Palestinians are an invented people who come from Jordan.Palestinians don't even have their own flag but live under the Jordanian flag where most of them reside today. In September 1970 Arafat tried to overthrow King Hussein of Jordan resulting in the deaths of 25,000 Palestinians and sending thousands into exile as refugees. This is known as Black September. The UN recognised the State of Israel in 1948 and the Palestinians have milked this to live off the UN as refugees. No other people have lived as refugees for so long over 65 years.

Hezbollah’s 30 years

Truth is, Hezbollah has not changed. Most Arabs who later realized the truth are the ones who've changed. Hezbollah was born in 1982 for the aims of carrying out today's goals and schemes. Arabs who are willing to kiss the forehead of anyone who raises Palestine's flag threw their support behind this Iranian organization which was planned in Qom and established in Lebanon as a tool for the region’s struggles. What is happening in Aleppo ,Homs Qusayr and the rest of Syria is nothing more than an additional chapter in Hezbollah's bad history. During the same year, forces belonging to Israeli slaughterer Ariel Sharon entered Lebanon surprising everyone by heading towards the capital, Beirut, besieging it and destroying it. These forces eventually destroyed the only Palestinian power, Fatah, which fought 88 difficult days. Fatah finally gave up, and its leader Yasser Arafat left to Cyprus in defeat and then to his final exile in Tunisia. Hezbollah was born as an alternative to the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The Iranians had already decided to use to the Palestinian cause to enter the Arab world and respond to the propaganda of Iraqi president Saddam Hussein who doubted Iran's intentions and fought it on the borders. If we clear our heads and observe what Hezbollah has done in 30 years, we'd realize it has been operating as an Iranian battalion within Iran's struggle with the region's areas, including struggles against the Lebanese, the Arabs and the Israelis. It eliminated national Lebanese and Palestinian powers and became a fort protecting Israel except for few confrontations against it - confrontations in which Israel won. You may ask why Hezbollah always appeared victorious as a steadfast power against Israel. The reason behind this was Arab propaganda that was used to forge and twist facts. Most of Hezbollah's wars fell within Israel's interests. In 1985, the war of the camps erupted. Syrian forces along with Hezbollah and Amal committed massacres against Palestinians, but Arab media stood by the criminals against the victim. Israel also conducted operations against Hezbollah in 1993 and 1996. The battles were finalized with agreements in which Hezbollah made concessions and pledges to Israel. But Arab media claimed that Hezbollah is winning. Even when Israel decided to withdraw from South Lebanon in 2000, Hezbollah was not part of this and it threatened that it will not allow its withdrawal. Then, the party invented the issue of the Shebaa Farms to keep their arms, or as they call them, the "resistance" arms. These arms were and still are against the Lebanese. They are currently arms against the Syrians. The proof of this lies in later years, where all wars were against Lebanese national parties beginning with the assassination of Hariri and other leaders. The party's actions thus fell within the interests of the Iranian scheme to dominate Lebanon. The crimes committed during battles in Syria's central town of Qusayr Homs and Aleppo have increased Arab anger and hatred towards Hezbollah. The Lebanese Shiite's chief Hassan Nasrallah had to make an appearance yesterday to defend his reputation which is stained with the blood of children, women and thousands of slain people. In order to gain the sympathy of his adverse audience, he resorted to his old rhetoric style, which was once directed towards Sunni Arabs. And so, he spoke of a united front against Israel and the West. He spoke of how he fought for the sake of the Palestinians although there are no Shiites among them and how his party fought in Bosnia in the 90s although the Muslims there are Sunnis. Has Nasrallah convinced millions of Syrians and 200 million Arabs of his claim that he is fighting in Syria alongside Assad's forces for the sake of Palestine and Jerusalem? I think it is unlikely that he convinced anyone because news of massacres and sectarian murders in Syria have reached an extent where speeches on a mutual forged history can no longer conceal this. With the start of the Arab Spring revolts, both the rulers and the opposition tried to portray the issues through a ridiculous but strangely rife theory that Jews were behind all the events and were busy conspiring against Muslims and Arabs. By forging competing anti-Semitic propaganda and producing conspiracies for the purpose of pointing a finger at Israel and Jews, each side tried to demonize the other side by associating it with Israel. In Libya, rebels claimed that the mother of Muammar Gaddafi was Jewish as a way of defaming the anti-Semitic dictator. Iranian officials did not hesitate to call the Syrian uprising, in its early phase, a conspiracy masterminded by Zionists and Bashar al-Assad repeated the same accusations. And this list goes on. Narrow-mindedness kept the uprisings leadership and supporters from harnessing all existing potential. Instead of dealing with root causes of the problems, they had a "one size fits all" diagnosis with a single prescription for all ills just point a finger at Israel and the Jews. In my view, one reason why the Arab Spring succeeded in toppling old dictatorships but didn’t succeed in replacing them with genuine democracy was that narrow-mindedness kept the uprisings’ leadership and supporters from harnessing all existing potential. Instead of dealing with root causes of the problems, they preferred to choose a simplistic answer and solution for all unresolved issues. They had a “one size fits all” diagnosis with a single prescription for all ills. Whenever there is a mess, a dilemma or a complicated situation, just point a finger at Israel and the Jews.
