Wrangling with Rangel
Let's see. Islamic? Yes. Terrorist? Yes.
So, what's the problem?
Anyway, Congressman Rangel apparently questions whether there really is such a thing as Hizballah. LGF's Charles Johnson goes to the trouble of locating a recent (February 18) video of Hizballah shouting "Death to Israel" and "Death to America." These guys are not swilling beer at a football game. You have to read this. Here is an excerpt:
[Hizballah Leader Shiek] Hassan Nasrallah:
Israel is our enemy. This is an aggressive, illegal, and illegitimate entity, which has no future in our land. Its destiny is manifested in our motto: “Death to Israel.”
Crowd:
Death to Israel
Death to Israel
Death to Israel
Death to Israel
Death to Israel
Hassan Nasrallah:
The American administration is behind Israel. I must clarify that when I say ‘America’ I do not mean the American people, most of whom are distant and ignorant of what is going on in the world, and of what its government and army are doing in the world. Nevertheless, we consider the current administration an enemy of our [Islamic] nation and of the peoples of our nation, because it has always taken a position of aggression, of occupation, and of supporting Israel with weapons, airplanes, tanks, money, as well as political support, and unlimited protection.
We consider it to be an enemy because it wants to humiliate our governments, our regimes, and our peoples. Because it is the greatest plunderer our treasures, our oil, and our resources, while millions in our nation suffer unemployment, poverty, hunger, unmarriagability, ignorance, darkness, and so on. America... This American administration is an enemy. Our motto, which we are not afraid to repeat year after year, is: “Death to America.”
Crowd:
Death to America
Death to America
Death to America
Death to America
Death to America
Death to America
