Read it all if you can stomach it:

CNN’s Zakaria Presents Hezbollah as a Model of Religious Tolerance - Big Journalism

Here's the money quote from the story:

The fact is Hezbollah is wholly intolerant of the existence of Israel.

As Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah put it in a Sept. 18. 2009 speech, “Historic Palestine, from the sea to the river, belongs to the people of Palestine and to the whole [Muslim] nation.” Israel, he elaborated, “is a usurper and occupation entity, aggressive, cancerous, illegitimate, and illegal presence,” and nobody is permitted to recognize its existence.
​

The Jewish state, he continued, must be “wiped out”:
​

“[We] will never recognize ‘Israel.’ We will not work with ‘Israel.’ We will not normalize ties with ‘Israel.’ We will not surrender to ‘Israel.’ We will not accept ‘Israel’ even if the whole world recognizes it. Our faith, belief, and declaration will remain unchanged, that ‘Israel’ is an illegal presence [and] a cancerous gland, and must be wiped out of existence.”
​

Nasrallah has a long history of denouncing Israel and the Jews and has repeatedly called for their elimination. Additionally, Hezbollah has been linked to bombings and the murder of Americans, Jews, and people of other religions at least as far back as 1982, some of these incidents happened in other countries, too. And many western nations have classified Hezbollah as a terror organization.

But to CNN and Fareed Zakaria, why those nice Hezbollah folks are the very modern model of religious tolerance, don’t you know. Quite the “down-the-middle” position CNN has there, isn’t it?

Disgusting!

No wonder these useful idiots favor the mosque at Ground Zero.
