While Lebanon's "300" Resist Hezbollah, The West Sits On Its Hands
Topics: Lebanon
Walid Phares reminds us that while we in the West are busy living our daily lives, a beast is busy killing the freedom of a small community on the East Mediterranean: Lebanon. And as of last week, Iran's proxy for taking over the Middle East (my description, not Walid's) - the mighty Hezbollah, armed to the teeth with 30,000 rockets and missiles and aligning thousands of self described "Divine soldiers" have been marching across the capital, terrorizing its population, shutting down media, taking its politicians and the Prime Minister as hostages, and looting at will. As you read this, ""the hordes of Lebanon's "Khomeinist Janjaweeds" have conquered already half of the Middle East's cultural capital, Beirut, Hezbollah has occupied West Beirut and has since sent its storm troops in multiple directions to resume the blitz,"" and the only ones daring and willing to stand in their way are a few hundred Druze fighters in Aley and the Shuf - who have decided to fight on their own: Hezbollah's "Immortal Guards" against the "300″?...
[...] After securing the Muslim side of the city, the "Immortal Guards" -since most of the Hezbollahis believe in martyrdom as a path to eternal after-life, encircled the mostly Druze Mountain from all directions. Closing in from the coast, the south and the Bekaa, thousands of fighters and their heavy artillery were ordered into battle this week end. The massive "Persian" Army is now attempting to take these passes into the Bekaa and from there into the North and the Christian Mountain. In a sense these may become Lebanon's Thermopylae: A vast Hezbollah Iranian-backed Army unleashing its power against few Lebanese Spartans, to dislodge them and open the paths for the rest of the country. Indeed, it looks like the few hundred Druze fighters in Aley and the Shuf - who have decided to fight on their own, may become Lebanon's "300". The vision is chilling. Despite the calls by their leader Walid Jumblat, now hostage to the Pasdaran in Beirut, to desist from resisting, the mountainous peasants decided to fight and resist the onslaught. The balance of power is terribly uneven. The forces of Hassan Nasrallah, hyper armed by "Xerxes" Ahmedinijad, line up thousands of soldiers, Special Forces, missiles and endless containers of ammunition. They have hardened their battle experience through years of fighting against a powerful Israeli Army, Air Force and Navy. Nasrallah is convinced that his Army of Suicide-bombers has defeated the region's nuclear super power in 2006. Hence, a few "hundreds" of Druses won't even stand for a day. Logically, he is correct. The Lebanese Army was tamed by Hezbollah, the Sunnis of Beirut collapsed in few hours, the Christians are intimidated, the U.S and Europe fears Hezbollah's Terror and the Arab regimes are terrified by his myth. Who on Earth will resist the Khomeinist Xerxes? Well so far, Lebanon's 300 have.In a sense, Lebanon's "300" are "our" 300 as well; those few Druze are apparently the only people in Lebanon willing to stand up against shia terrorists, Iran, and Syria, and they stand for the right of free people to resist the Islamic wave of terror stoked and funded by the radical Islamists of Iran. As the West sits idly by and allows Lebanon's 300 to fight alone, we are essentially telling Hezbollah and Iran that all our talk about freedom and democracy, and our willingness to defeat radical Islam, is just that - talk. Nothing but empty rhetoric.[...] This huge force, by Lebanon's standards, was joined by an undetermined number of real Iranian Guards, shipped from Tehran to man sophisticated weapons offered by the Khamanei regime as a gift to topple the democratically elected Government of Fuad Seniora. In addition, from the four corners of the country, Jihadist and ultra radical organizations have joined the fray including: The Nazi-like SSNP, the Amal Movement, the Wi'amWahhab pro-Syrian militia, and many others. And to top it, Damascus was able to neutralize the Lebanese Army which has been equipped recently by the United States. Its Commander, a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic was "convinced" by the Assad regime to open the passages to Beirut and all other regions for the hordes to thrust into their enemies' backyards. Reminding us of the tales of Greek Antiquity, this Xerxes -Khomeinist- Army burst into the capital, whipping out the thin internal security forces and reigning with brutality.

"The West Sits On Its Hands"???
What else would you expect, friend?!?! Another "military intervention" from people - so emasculated by secularist socialism, moral relativism, and multi-culturalism in Europe; or so yellow-bellied, anti-war, and leftist, as the Democrats here at home - for whom no Dhimmitude is high enough, no surrender sufficiently servile for their "masochist" ways, for whom no defeat can be humiliatingly achieved fast enough??? Who are but scurrying to lose as fast as we can in Iraq and Afghanistan, in order to achieve two more "glorious" Vietnams, and come back home running to stick their "Code Pink" ostrich heads in the sand - if not their arses... as in San Francisco?!?! Again, what else would you expect?
As for Lebanon's Muslim Arab neighbors and other Muslim nations around the world, if not openly supporting Hamas, equipping and funding them as in Syria's case, they at least are "sympathetic" to Hamas (just as Jimmy carter and Obama, here in America?), not Lebanon's 300 - regardless of their "spiel" to the contrary - and will joyfully sit on the sidelines to watch ( if not to cheer) the slaughter, and shout "Allah Akbar"!
No matter how we may wish to "sugar-coat" it, the reality is 90% of Muslims support Hamas and the Jihadists - if not openly, at least in the most recondite corners of their hearts. The same way 90% of blacks here in America voted for Obama. It's something deeply rooted in their identities. It seems only the Europeans and us "white gelded bullocks" have been the only ones to "assimilate" other races and "cherish" other cultures and religions after 40 years of unrelenting socialist conditioning, political correctness, and multi-culturalism...so much so that we are marching like lemmings to our own destruction!
Sad as it is. In the world we have wrought with our cowardice and complacency. The valiant Lebanese 300 are on their own. Not even Israel, which has been so maligned in the past for intervening in Lebanon, and which is tired of so much fighting for its very survival for sixty years, will come to their rescue this time...

Sadly, Althor is right. The Druze are dead men standing.

What is ironic, is that Obama, staunch supporter of "abortion" he is, had his mother had access to "abortion" the world may have been spared "him" and all of this pain...
