Islamic -- 'Palestinian' Syrian, Hezbollah -- crimes on Lebanon

[DeeCee]

Christians in Lebanon were always oppressed by Muslims, especially by the 'Palestinians' and Syrian/Iranian backed Islamists.


* 1) A highlighted crime is the 'Damour Massacre' which triggered Christians' payback in Sabra Shatila camps.

'The attack took place from the mountain behind. It was an apocalypse. They were coming, thousands and thousands, shouting 'Allahu Akbar! God is great! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad 'And they were slaughtering everyone in their path, men, women and children.'

Since 1975, about 150,000 Christians were killed during the war... Entire Christian villages were erased and their populations were ethnically cleansed. Indeed, Arafat plunged Lebanon into massacres, rape, mutilation, rampages of looting and killings. Out of a population of 3.2 million, some 40,000 or more people had been killed, 100,000 wounded, 5,000 permanently maimed.



In fact: Syria and the Palestinians are responsible for the death of 300,000 Lebanese

- Christians in Lebanon are cheering on Israel and want Hezbollah eliminated.

- Only 26% of Christians are left after being killed off and run away over the past 30+ years. Lebanon used to be a mostly Christian area.
Brigitte and her family were used as human shields. Radicals would fire rockets towards Israel from in front of her bomb shelter when she lived in Lebanon. When her mother asked them to place them somewhere else she was shot at and threatened with death. Brigitte had to live in a bomb shelter from age 10 to 17.

- Brigitte spoke of one man she spoke with who was kicked out of his home and he had to move in with his brother, while Hezbollah setup rockets in his home.

- There are 11 Hezbollah cells in America. 300 Hezbollah arrests have been made in the USA. One Hezbollah general arrested in America came in from the Southern border!!!

- Hezbollah is working with the MS-13 gang to smuggle their members into the USA over the Southern border.

- Hezbollah is training Al Qaeda members in the same area Israel is bombing. They are being trained to fight in Iran via Syria.

- Hezbollah is stronger and more sophisticated than Al Qaeda.


* 8.) Writer: War on Christians in the Middle East must be stopped...

Many Christians in Islamic lands have become subject to such terror that they are fleeing the homelands their ancestors...

Lebanon's once politically powerful Christian community has already shrunken almost beyond recognition. Thirty years ago, Lebanon was 60% Christian; today it is barely 25%. The growing political power of Iran-backed Hezbollah is encouraging further departures.


Even in the Holy Land, where Jesus walked, there is an increasing Christian exodus from both the West Bank and Gaza. Part of it surely stems from the continuing Palestinian- Israeli conflict. But much of it results from a growing Islamic campaign to force Christians to sell their property and leave. Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, was once 90% Christian. Today it has a 65% Moslem majority.


The only place in the Mideast where Christian communities continue to grow is in the Jewish State of Israel. Israel's tolerance is logical. What people of faith knows the dangers of religious persecution better than the people of Israel especially those whose families originated in the Islamic world? Between 1948 and 1956 more than 850,000 Jews were forced to flee the Arab lands where their families had lived for centuries.


Most found new homes in Israel; others settled in Western Europe and the Americas. Today there are almost no Jews in the Arab world. In Egypt, where 180,000 Jews once lived, there are fewer than 80. In Iraq, where Jews once comprised a third of Baghdad, there are possibly ten left. In Libya, there are none...

Any wonder the plight of Christians has been accelerated?

If Syria collapses, what gonna happen to Hezbollah?

What next for Hezbollah, Israel, Syria and Iran?
14 February 2013 - In a turbulent and rapidly-changing region, Hezbollah finds itself facing an unprecedented array of threats and challenges. Will it be fatally weakened if its strategic ally, the Syrian regime, collapses?

Will it get drawn into, or trigger, a devastating war with Israel if Iran, another strategic ally, is attacked over its nuclear ambitions - and even if not? Will it find itself embroiled in a confessional civil war with the Sunnis in Lebanon, especially if Syria breaks apart and the region is plunged into a process of sectarian balkanisation? On top of all those very real possibilities, the militant Shia movement also faces further international censure and isolation following Bulgaria's accusation that it was behind the bomb attack which killed five Israeli tourists at the Black Sea resort of Burgas last July.

It may also have had to tolerate a slap in the face from the Israelis on 30 January, when their jets struck what US officials insist was an arms consignment destined for Hezbollah at a military centre inside Syria. That triggered fears of a wider regional flare-up. Given the delicate, complex and explosive situation Hezbollah finds itself in, it is hardly surprising that leaders and officials have drawn in and give virtually no media interviews these days to share their views on the above questions. But many observers and analysts seem to agree that, while all those grim scenarios remain more than possible, they are by no means inevitable, and may well not happen.

'No interest' in Israeli war

In terms of another war with Israel, Hezbollah has undoubtedly been building up its arsenal since the last one in 2006, irrespective of what happens with Syria's missiles and chemical weapons stocks. While some observers believe that a "critical mass" of preparation on both sides may mean that conflict is ultimately inevitable, there is certainly no sense at the moment that either is spoiling for a fight. Despite the imbalance of power in this conventionally asymmetrical match, Western diplomats believe that, with long-range Hezbollah rockets installed in the northern part of the Bekaa Valley and shorter-range ones further south, Israel would face three to four weeks of devastating hostilities if a new war erupted. Rhetoric aside, Hezbollah also knows that if war breaks out with Israel again, it will not just be the mainly Shia towns and villages of South Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut that will pay a heavy price.

Israeli leaders have made it clear that infrastructural and state targets will also be considered fair game, especially now that Hezbollah is the major power behind the Beirut government. The huge private and public investment in reconstruction after the 2006 war would all be lost. Hezbollah is aware that that is not something to be embarked on lightly, and that its own Shia community would be hardest hit. Hezbollah has scrupulously observed the ceasefire that ended hostilities in 2006. "It has no interest in picking a war, neither do the Israelis, who see the whole regional scene unfolding to their benefit," said one Shia source. So, left to their own devices in a purely Lebanese context, there is no reason to believe that another war between Hezbollah and Israel will necessarily happen. Developments in Syria may also fall short of triggering another such war, if the 30 January air raid is anything to judge by.

If Hezbollah-destined weapons were indeed hit, the movement seems to have chosen not to regard it as a direct provocation. Diplomats say Israel was swift to assure them privately that no targets were struck inside Lebanon. But a major Israeli or American attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would make another Hezbollah-Israel clash almost, but not entirely, inevitable, given Hezbollah's undoubted status as a strategic Iranian asset. However, some Shia analysts are convinced that a US-Iranian understanding may yet emerge to head off that scenario. As for another bout of internal conflict in Lebanon, where Hezbollah clashed violently with Sunnis and Druze in 2008, there is equally little feeling that the movement is looking to pick a fight, despite deepening sectarian sentiment and political rifts over Syria. Ironically, some western diplomats have even come to see Hezbollah as a factor for stability in the Lebanese equation. "Our interests are not totally opposed," said one.

It's gettin' to be a Sunni-Shia war...

Syrian war increasingly drawing in Lebanon
Apr 23,`13 -- As fighting rages just across the border, Lebanese are giving signs of joining the battle on rival sides of Syria's civil war - Sunnis on the side of the rebels, Shiites on the side of the regime - raising fears that Lebanon with its volatile sectarian divisions will be dragged into the conflict.

Two influential Lebanese Sunni clerics this week called on members of their community to wage "holy war" in Syria to defend their brethren. They accused Lebanon's Shiite Hezbollah group of sending fighters to attack Syrian Sunnis, who make up the backbone of that country's rebellion. On Tuesday, around two dozen men lined up in the office of one of the clerics in the southern coastal city of Sidon, signing up to join the jihad. In recent days, tensions have been fueled by heavy fighting inside Syria close to the border with Lebanon, where regime forces have made strong gains in a campaign to secure a corridor from the capital Damascus to the Mediterranean coast.

The Syrian military has been helped in the fight by Shiite Lebanese fighters who are supported by Hezbollah. The powerful Lebanese militant group says it is not sending fighters but supports the so-called "popular committees" that have joined the fighting to defend their fellow Shiites in Syria. Rockets from Syria have hit mostly Shiite areas in Lebanon on daily basis, apparently from Syrian rebels in retaliation for Lebanese Shiite help to the regime forces. Rockets killed at least two people this week and are reaching deeper into Lebanese territory. There are also fears that Islamic militants among the Syrian rebels could carry out direct attacks in Lebanon in revenge for Hezbollah's support of the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. "Lebanon is on the edge of the cliff," warned lawmaker Sami Gemayel. "We are dragging the conflict from Syria into our country. It's like the border between the two countries no longer exist," he told reporters Tuesday.

Lebanon is sharply split between supporters and opponents of Assad, a legacy of decades of Syrian political and military dominance over its smaller neighbor. The split largely falls along sectarian lines, with Sunnis opposing Assad and Shiites backing him. That mirrors the divisions within Syria itself, where mainly Sunni rebels are battling Assad's regime, dominated by the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiism. Since it began in March 2011, Syria's conflict has fueled local tensions between the communities in Lebanon, with bouts of street fighting and kidnappings.

In the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Monday, a group of Sunnis captured an Alawite man, stripped him to the waist, tied a rope around his neck as they paraded him through the streets. "I am an Alawite shabiha," was written on his bare chest, referring to Syria's feared pro-Assad militiamen. In recent days, unknown assailants set fire to Alawite-owned shops and also hurled stones at a bus carrying Alawites in Tripoli, a predominantly Sunni city with a small Alawite community. The intense fighting near the border has raised the temperature considerably.

Hezbollah stronghold in Lebanon takes a hit from Syria...

Rockets from Syria hit Hezbollah stronghold
Jun 1,`13 -- Eighteen rockets and mortars rounds from Syria slammed into Lebanon on Saturday, the largest cross-border salvo to hit a Hezbollah stronghold since Syrian rebels threatened to retaliate for the Lebanese militant group's armed support of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The rockets targeted the Baalbek region, the latest sign that Syria's civil war is increasingly destabilizing Lebanon. On Friday, the Lebanese parliament decided to put off general elections, originally scheduled for June, by 17 months, blaming a deteriorating security situation in the country. In Qatar, an influential Sunni Muslim cleric whose TV show is watched by millions across the region, fanned the sectarian flames ignited by the Syria conflict and urged Sunnis everywhere to join the fight against Assad. "I call on Muslims everywhere to help their brothers be victorious," Yusuf al-Qaradawi said in his Friday sermon in the Qatari capital of Doha. "If I had the ability I would go and fight with them." "Everyone who has the ability and has training to kill ... is required to go," said al-Qaradawi, who is in his 80s. "We cannot ask our brothers to be killed while we watch."

He denounced Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, as "more infidel than Christians and Jews" and Shiite Muslim Hezbollah as "the party of the devil." He said there is no more common ground between Shiites and Sunnis, alleging that Shiite Iran - a longtime Syria ally that has supplied the regime with cash and weapons - is trying to "devour" Sunnis. The Syrian conflict, now in its third year, has taken on dark sectarian overtones. It has escalated from a local uprising into a civil war and is not increasingly shifting into a proxy war. Predominantly Sunni rebels backed by Sunni states Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey are fighting against a regime that relies on support from Alawites, Shiites and Christians at home, and is aided by Iran and Hezbollah. The Syria conflict is also part of a wider battle between Saudi Arabia and Iran for regional influence.

Sunni fighters from Iraq and Lebanon have crossed into Syria to help those fighting Assad, while Shiites from Iraq have joined the battle on the regime's side. Sectarian tensions rose sharply when Hezbollah stepped up its involvement in the war in mid-May by joining a regime offensive against the rebel-held Syrian town of Qusair, about 10 kilometers (six miles) from Lebanon. The town has since become one of the war's major military and political flashpoints, with international concern growing over civilians believed to be trapped there. On Saturday, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nation's two top officials dealing with human rights and humanitarian issues said they were alarmed by reports that thousands of civilians are trapped in Qusair and that hundreds of wounded people are in urgent need of medical care.

The U.N. officials called for a cease-fire to allow the wounded to be evacuated. They said more than 10,000 people have fled to two nearby towns and need food, bedding, water and medical care. The Red Cross said it has requested access to Qusair and is prepared to enter the city immediately to help the civilians there. Syria's political opposition cited Hezbollah's role in the war and the dire situation in Qusair as reasons for not attending peace talks with the regime in Geneva, which the U.S. and Russia had hoped could be launched at an international conference this month. Qusair has also become a rallying cry for rebels demanding Western weapons shipments, with the commander of the main Western-backed rebel group warning this week the town could fall soon if such arms are not delivered.

Even Christian Betlehem has now been stolen by the Muslims. If this keeps up in Christian lands I suspect another Crusades is in the making.
