The Curious Case Of Hussein Zorkot

How a Hezbollah link can transform a normal criminal into a terrorist.

All Hussein Zorkot wanted was a wife.

The 26-year old son of Lebanese parents was arrested in Dearborn Michigan last month. He was clad in a dark overall and he painted his face black. It was at dusk, he was on a rooftop, and he had an AK-47 rifle in his hand. He was prepared for a perfect crime.

Investigations reveal the portrait of a troubled man who was sick and tired of his step-mom spreading rumors that he was gay. He told the investigators that he wanted to be seen with the rifle to prove to everyone that he was a real man (it seems prospective wifes are more interested in criminals than in gays).

The excuse was crappy, but then somehow along the lines of the investigation (and its coverage) came Hussein’s sympathy for “Iranian backed terror group” Hezbollah. As anyone from Lebanon would tell you, it is normal for a Hezbollah fan to pose for pictures next to Nassrallah posters. It is also normal to for them to have personal sites (which in Mr. Zorkot’s case is more of a link generating mashup of opposition slogans, banners and web links) dedicated to Hezbollah.

The man is a criminal no doubt, but when the coverage of his crime focuses on his “relationship” with Hezbollah, he officially becomes a “terrorist”.

"Humanitarian Issues Of Common Interest"

How Nassrallah and Olmert justify doing business with each other..


Mother waiting for her son’s remains..

Hezbollah’s media never utters the words “Israel”, “Israeli Government” or “Israeli”. The Party of God usually prefers “Occupied Palestine”, “Zionist entity’s Government” and “Zionist enemy” respectively. Across the border, the Israelis always couple the word “Hezbollah” with either “Terrorist Organization” or “Radical Islamists”. Their PM Ehud Olmert vowed never to negotiate with them.

They hate each other and they will do all they can to avoid humanizing each other. they won’t even look at each other and prefer German intermediaries. The wars they’re fighting are never with fellow human beings, they are with “terrorists”, “baby killers”, “imperialists” and “land grabbing monsters”. The missiles they drop on each other kill innocent bystanders, but deep down, they don’t care because they’re “all the same”, they’re all evil blue-blooded dogs.

Too bad they have business to do with each other. And it’s hilarious that they chose “Humanitarian Issues Of Common Interest” as the reason why they’re doing this business. The people who like to film and broadcast videos of wounded soldiers groaning in excruciating pain before dying, are doing business with the people who bulldoze foreign peace activists and use Palestinian civilians as human shields, all under the banner of humanitarian considerations.

Stop trying to explain yourselves. Just exchange the damn prisoners and bodies and leave humanitarianism out of this.
