Hezbollah rearming


According to a recent article in the Toronto Star, Hezbollah continues to rearm in Lebanon:

Hezbollah openly says its fighters have spent the last seven months preparing
for another major battle with Israel by regrouping and amassing some 33,000
missiles.

"We in the resistance have weapons, and we openly declare that we have weapons, that we are completing our preparedness for a greater and more dangerous stage," Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised address last month.

What's more, the Israeli military has said in recent weeks it has intelligence that Hezbollah is continuing to smuggle Iranian-supplied weapons across the Syrian border into Lebanon.
Meanwhile the Lebanese government, the United Nations and the world community, like the proverbial "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" monkeys, pretend that nothing is going on.

Hezbollah rally

Today, the Washington Times reported that an estimated 800,000 protesters (Hezbollah says one million) turned out for a Hezbollah-organized rally in Beruit. The rally was intended by Hezbollah to topple Lebanon's democratic government, and replace it with Syria's terrorist puppet, Hezbollah.

800,000 protestors is 17.7% of that country's total population of 4,509,678. To give some idea of the magnitude of this rally: If the same percentage of Americans turned out to support the replacing of America's democracy with a terrorist government, 53 million people would descend on Washington!

To drive the point home further: Only 60% of Lebanon's population is Muslim. This means that nearly one out of every three Muslims in Lebanon turned out to support terrorists (And Lebanon is probably one of the more moderate Muslim countries in the Middle East)!

Tell me again about how terrorist-supporting Muslims are just a tiny minority.
