Notice, I do not say the Israeli." I give him this: unlike a lot of the Arab propaganda that spews forth from various sources,Hezbollah doesn't pretend to distinguish between Jews (good as long as they're not in Israel and remember their proper place as subject people) and Israelis (bad). Hezbollah generally considers one as the other and wants to kill them. To the extent that sincerity is a virtue they geta point. But as Colombo used to say, just one thing confuses me. If the Israelis, being Jews, are cowardly, despicable, and weak, why don't the lions of Hezbeollah, their brave and valiant warriors for Allah, face the cowardly Israeli army in open battle rather than hiding behind civilians? Surely such a low and scurvy crew would turn til and flee desperately at the mere sight of the brave Hezbollah fighters? “If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew.
