Israel and Iraq Shake Hands, Hezbollah Unhappy
2004-09-23
Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas heaped scorn on Iraq's prime minister on Thursday for shaking hands with an Israeli delegate at the United Nations, saying he had disgraced Iraq and offended Arabs and Muslims.
"Ooooo...cooties!"
Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi shook hands with Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom on Tuesday at the UN General Assembly, where alphabetical order put them side by side.
Hmmm...I wonder where Hezbollah's seat is at the UN General Assembly? Oh, right...THEY DON'T HAVE ONE.
"(It) is a sign of one of the most dangerous goals of the American war on Iraq, yanking Iraq from its place in the Arab and Muslim worlds and sticking it in the U.S.-Zionist political cosmos," Hezbollah seethed said in a statement. "This unacceptable handshake is at once a true insult to the Iraqi people, their history, culture and Islamic and national commitment; and flagrant scorn for the suffering of Palestinian people and the sentiments of Arabs and Muslims," it said. Shalom said the incident was the first official contact between Israel and Baghdad since the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which Israel attacked to destroy a nuclear reactor in 1981. Iraq fired missiles at Israel during the 1991 Gulf war, when Saddam Hussein answered demands to pull his army out of Kuwait by saying Israel must in turn end its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Hey Hezbollah...here, have a nice cup of STFU.

#7  Nazi Islamists is a good word. Actually a lot of literature they pedal is borrowed directly from Mein Kampf. They use the same logic to try to convert people to their side. And being super racists puts them directly in league with the H himslef. I am sure if enough research is done we will come up with amazing similarities in their literature.
But the point is that Nazis dont like it when a person of their superior Arab race shakes hands with a jew.
Well all they gotta remember is where Hitler ended up, in a bunker commiting suicide. Evil looses.

#6  We would not want any of the Hizballah death cultists upset, they might run off and kill themselves.

#5  Isn't there a bomb or missile someplace looking for the leader of Hezbollah? He is a VERY brave man. But brave men die quickly in the middle east. I pray for his safety.

#4  I'm not sure this is such a smart move on Allawi's part. It's a brave move, though. Iraqis have been conditioned for decades to think of Israel as the Little Satan. Allawi may regret this handshake at the January polls.

#3  Allawi kissing Leiberman following his speech to Congress this morning must have really pissed them off.

Good!

TFB. Apparently, Prime Minster Allawi isn't a slave to the past like you are, Hezbollah.
