Hizballah, Expanding Relgious Warfare: Israelis Killing Indiscriminately Because "Yahweh" Is "Racist God"

2006-07-28

Michael Widlanski

Hizballah's television station Al-Manar launched an unusually anti-Semitic attack on Israel a few minutes ago, when a featured commentator claimed that Jews were instructed to kill women and children.

"What does their Torah say: it says kill all men, women and children and even animals," said the Hizballah commentator, Ghassan Matar, identified as a former member of the Lebanese parliament.

"That is what their Israeli Zionist god, their racist god 'Yahweh' orders them," sneered Matar, the gray-haired commentator, gesturing broadly with his hands.

His words were an apparent reference to Biblical commandment for retribution against the tribe of Amalek which staged an unprovoked attack on the Children of Israel after the exodus from Egypt [Exodus 17: 8-16, Deuteronomy 25: 17-19]

Jews are commanded to remember Amalek's deeds and to "erase" Amalek, but many Jewish biblical commentaries state that the tribe of Amalek has ceased to exist, and that the commandment is a reminder of how to deal with terrorists who stage unprovoked attacks on innocent people.

Matar, who was wearing tinted eye glasses and a short-sleeved yellow jacket, said that Israeli conquest of some villages in southern Lebanon would not bring it victory.

Hizballah and its television station Al-Manar are well-known for extreme messages and anti-Jewish themes including the broadcasting of programs based on the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"-a paradigmic anti-Semitic tract first developed by the Russian Czars and then distributed by the Soviets.

However, today's effusion seemed to be indicative of some of the tension felt by Hizballah personnel in recent days-perhaps because of rising casualties-which has produced more vitriolic attacks on Judaism, America , and "moderate" Arab states, as well as the usual assaults on "the Zionist Enemy."

  • Antisemitismus
    Shem ist der Name, im besonderen der Name Gottes, arabisch: Allahs. In diesem erhabenen Sinne ist Antishemitismus - genauer vielleicht: Antishemismus - die direkte Herausforderung Gottes, sprich: Allahs. Antishemismus ist der Ungeist gegen den Geist Gottes, im praktischen Sinn gegen die Träger dieses Geistes. Unter diesem Blickwinkel erfährt das Volk Gottes eine permanent sich erneuernde Auserwählung.

    Es wird, glaube ich, dem neuen Faschismus schwer fallen, die halbwegs geordnete Erfahrungswelt der braven und vernünftigen Bürger EU-Deutschlands von der Existenz islamischer Teufel zu überzeugen. Die intellektuelle Vorwärts-Verteidigung der Propaganda-Feldzüge des globalistischen Kreuzrittertums gegen den Islam - gewißlich im Namen der Leitkultur «Sodom & Gomorrha» - ist ebenso gespenstisch wie lächerlich. Wahrscheinlich ist noch nicht hinreichend - oder nur zu gut? - verstanden worden, daß wir es mit einer nicht ganz neuen, aber für heutige Begriffe doch neu zu definierenden Form des Faschismus zu tun haben. Wissen die jüdischen Teilnehmer am Hetzkrieg gegen den Islam, was sie tun? Ein eitler Aufkläricht wider die Weisheit der - hebräischen und arabischen - Hirtennomaden des Orients ist sich seiner inneren Dialektik nur noch nicht bewußt geworden.
