Of course, Hizbullah just popped out of the sky one day and decided to start harassing Israel. No, really, that’s what happened. A bunch of radical Islamicistic Shias got together and decided that they would start firing Katyushas into Israel because they hate Israel because Israel is Jewish.

It has nothing to do with Israel’s invasion of Southern Lebanon, and its constant bombardment of civilian areas, kidnapping of civlians, arbitrary detentions, home and property expropriation and destruction, etc. etc. etc.

And of course, only irrational Islamicistic segments of the Southern Lebanese population support Hizbullah. Not, of course, the vast majority of them — traditionally marginalized and underprivileged Shias — who are loyal to Hizbullah for providing defense from Israel, eventually forcing it out of Southern Lebanon, and in the meanwhile providing basic social services like health care, medical centres, education, food, security, radio and even a television station. Nope, it’s just irrational Islamist anti-Jew hate-Israel-for-no-goddamn-reason types.

And of course, Hizbullah’s recent actions in Israel are just bald and naked provocation. Not a response to constant Israeli air raids, kidnappings the prisoners of which are still missing and unaccounted for — or are held in arbitrary detention, historical injustice, and oh — yeah, there’s that little problem of millions of Palestinians living in deplorable conditions under military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza — nothing to do with all that, of course.

Nope, just them damn Islamic radicals out to cause problems for peace-lovin’ folks.
