NATIONAL EXCLUSIVE: Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah Talks With
Former US Diplomats on Israel, Prisoners and Hezbollah¹s Founding
The US government considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization, but several
former former US diplomats sat down with the group¹s leader, Hassan Nasrallah,
in Lebanon earlier this year.
In a US national exclusive, we play excerpts of the interview, and speak to former
US Ambassador and White House Terrorism Task Force Director on Terrorism in the Reagan Administration, Edward Peck, who took part in the meeting.
Excellent interview
Excerpt --
EDWARD PECK: Well, let me start with saying that people in the Middle East, for obvious reasons, find it sort of ironic that Israel is now insisting on the implementation of 1559, whereas, as Nasrallah said, they ignored an earlier Security Council resolution demanding that they remove themselves from South Lebanon for 20 years, that that’s called selective morality. Everybody practices that, but it kind of cuts the ground up from under your stance if you think that only certain Security Council resolutions should be enforced.
Anothers extension to Excerpt
[BOING! BOING!] --- Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 and occupied them for
18 years - leaving the entire country and the Lebanese Army weak. And yet - Lebanon was expected to oust Hezbollah which provided protection FROM ISRAEL on the southern border - as well as maintaining schools, hospitals, social services, etc. The U.S. never offered to help strengthen the Lebanese Army - but does anyone think Israel wanted the Lebanese Army STRENGTHENED?? Israel and U.S. are griping and waging war over something they would have rejected!!
It was a Catch-22 for Lebanon and fit nicely into the Bush Neocons'
1996 documented agenda to invade Lebanon.
