Lebanese Support Hezbollah
Amit Ghate thinks that the Lebanese are not victims and have brought Israel's counterattack upon themselves for their government's support of Hezbollah. A recent report from Reuters makes this clear "Syria's Lebanese Refuges Remain Defiant:"
Lebanese refugees gather around a small black and white television set at this Syrian summer resort chanting "God is great" every time Hizbollah's station announces Israeli casualties.
Damn them. They left nothing in our neighborhood. They destroyed the school, the local charity, mosque, houses," said Mohammad Sayeed, a resident of Baalbek, a city in the Bekaa Valley famous for its majestic Roman temple.
The Syrian government has already accommodated an estimated 20,000 people in schools, camps and other public buildings.
With admiration for Hizbollah and its charismatic leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah running high, ordinary Syrians have even taken in Lebanese they do not know.
"Nasrallah is the uncrowned Arab king," a leading Syrian businessman said.
"Don't believe the shallow media. This is a historic war. It didn't start two weeks ago. It began when Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982, and even decades before, when the Zionists stole Palestine."
Zeinab Yasmin, who fled from the southern town of Nabatiyeh, said: "Israel has audacity to call Hizbollah terrorist, when it bombed cities, towns and villages. Hizbollah only attacked its soldiers to free our prisoners of war."
Just in case there was any doubt what this war is really about.
