Detailed Account of Hezbollah Operations On The Ground
An on the ground reporter, Ghaith Abdul Ahad, pens a descriptive article for The Guardian on how the fighting on the ground was taking place. Here’s a sample:
Like a traffic conductor, he organised the stone throwing at Sunnis across the street, raising his arm for a volley to start and then pushing back the teenagers to stop. But Nasrallah’s speech put an end to that. The teenagers disappeared and in their place, about 20 Shia gunmen, Hizbullah gunmen, took up their positions on the street corners. The game had changed.“Wait,” the commander called, “don’t start shooting before the army withdraws.” As soon as the last of the soldiers separating the groups ran into armoured vehicles the fighting began.

Why didn’t you post the part about Israeli agents paying kids $100 to fight Hezbollah?
Unlike Hezbollah, you are a dishonest and disingenuous human being. You think you’re smart enough to fool people, but you only humiliate yourself. That is why you have no support in Lebanon.
Good job brave soldiers! Remove the cancerous Israeli agent and his disingenuous minions.
We all know that the past days have been a despicable disgrace and a public, albeit unintentional, uncovering of the true nature of the Hizb. Nasrallah’s adventurous megalomania was in full swing when he committed the gravest error in Lebanon’s history by invading West Beirut. Why did he do that? Simply put, he was aiming to send a message to Bush who will be visiting the area soon, trying to show the US and the world that he could take over Beirut in a few hours just because he can. What he accomplished instead was supreme treason to a legitimate cause and betrayal of the people who blindingly believed in him. Aoun is gloating somewhere. Their Lebanese passports ought to be revoked for we can no longer count them as our compatriots.
Looks like HZBos understood they reached the dead-end,
and so they crawl back in their Dahye dens.
What did they achieve during the 4 days of divine adventure? Not much.
How many lies exposed? Many…
Is it over? for now, maybe. for the long run.. NO.!!
Lebanese of all sects (at last) understand, and not just *theoretically*, the danger posed to them by the “resistance”.
This was a healthy sobering up and disillusionment.
Nasralla lost his magic touch. From now on he’s to be considered as a common roughneck bully. He’s advancing from mistake to mistake.
Cheers.

“Amir in Tel Aviv . . .”
Things not going well for your agents eh Amir?
Muss,
My 2 cents: Please ax that fuck Brooklyn from your blog. He adds nothing and makes you look like fucking Saniora asking for more after every spanking.
There’s a difference between being an open-minded gentleman and being a frigging doormat.
**RESISTANCE**
Lets re-examine the “resistance” term and concept, in the light of those
4 days of divine adventure:
What resistance? Against commercial districts?
What resistance? Against residential districts?
What resistance? Against national infrastructure (airports, sea-ports, roads)?
What resistance? Against facilities of free speech (newspapers, radio stations, TV stations)?
What resistance? Against mourners in a peaceful funeral?
What resistance?
.
Against you and your agents “Amir in Tel Aviv.”
You write and think like a child, grow up dude.
previous comment addressed to Brooklyn
I believe that Hizballah (Hiz-Iran) has exposed its ugly face! Just few minutes ago, I was talking to a friend in a store about the situation in Lebanon, another person (not even Lebanese) jumped in and said that Shia is dirtier than koofar!!! A friend from Kuwait is telling about how the situation of Shia there! The Kuwaiti will not let them get stronger and become Hizballah-Kuwait. Iraqis can write books on the atrocities of the shia! Almost everyone I talked to said he is fed up with the shia and their lies about liberating Palestine! Their goal is to re-establish the Persian Empire under the disguise of liberationg Palestine!
Regardless of what, I, You, this blog, the Lebanese Blogosphere, Israelis, Americans, and every critic says…
The Table has turned in favor of the opposition
When the opposition called for new elections, the Government should have accepted (what did it fear then?). Now it fears the worst.
Mustapha please post this:
Today Prime Minister Siniora asked all Lebanese to raise Lebanese flags tomorrow at 12 noon. This action will rekindle the spirits of our 1.5 million majority that evicted the Syrians from Lebanon. Our Cedar Revolution was based on massive demonstrations in the streets. These demonstration showed the world and our fellow Lebanese our will to live freely, independently and democratically. We should go back to these basic tenets of the Cedar Revolution.
The Lebanese Expat community around the world needs to do the same. Tomorrow (Sunday the 11th) at 12 noon local time we need to be in front of every Lebanese Embassy and Consulate in the world with Lebanese flags. We must gather in silence and not make any speeches. This should be done all over the world but especially Cairo where the Foreign Ministers of the Arab League will be meeting.
Remember our courageous compatriots are going to raise Lebanese flags in Beirut and throughout Lebanon tomorrow even if it means danger for them. By seeing us do the same abroad, it will give much needed support to our government and our fellow Lebanese in Lebanon.
Thanks!
I agree with Josey that Brooklyn doesn’t deserve to be at this discussion because his remarks are too insulting and personal. It seems he can’t have a debate on issues, instead he’d rather make personal attacks.
I concur with Libanus and Josey. Free speech is all fine and dandie. But what is this retard contributing to the conversation? If he’s/she’s unable to elevate the debate to a level where we can all have meaningful intercourse, then he shouldn’t be given a platform. Whether he’s ignored or engaged, he should not be given a platform. Hell, it even behooves Hizbezzbaalah to not have a whack job like this one speak on its behalf.
Maybe the excuses used to start a war (firing of the security officer in charge at the airport for dereliction of duty and an attempt by the government to pull the plug on an illegal parallel phone system) satisfied the limited and easily confused souls that make up the Opposition’s followers, but it put a big spotlight on the real intentions of a heavily armed gang. And this would be the worst kind of war – civil war – Lebanese vs Lebanese. Once the cage is opened and all the dickheads are turned loose, it’s kind of difficult to reverse the process. There should be enough people around who lived through 1975-1990 to supply some positive influence – I hope so; Sort of “suppose they gave a war and nobody came” approach. The grim alternative is a future state that looks like Burma/North Korea wrapped up in a suffocating theocratic blanket hurtling the nation back into a medieval world and concentrating it’s efforts on repression (thinking can be dangerous to your health), religious extremism and efforts at improvements in weapons technology. Hezbollah has neither the skills not the clout to do this on their own – they need outside help. So do the people they are trying to suppress. And fast!
I’m so sorry for interjecting some truth and reality into your Zionist fantasies.
Besides, Shlomo, shouldn’t you be off paying some kid $100 to fight Hezbollah? (That’s what the reporter claims is going on.)
