Líbano, Napoleão e Waterloo
Fui dar com este artigo no cinco dias.net.
É de Uri Avnery, que nos tempos idos da fundação do Estado de Israel fez parte da Irgun, organização considerada terrorista pela autoridades inglesas da Palestina. Depois, tornou-se um dos mais prestigiados activistas da paz em Israel.
NAPOLEON WON the battle of Waterloo. The German Wehrmacht won World War II. The United States won in Vietnam, and the Soviets in Afghanistan. The Zealots won against the Romans, and Ehud Olmert won the Second Lebanon War.
The chicken-hearted "terrorists" of Hizbullah were hiding behind women and children and operating from within villages, quite unlike our Ministry of Defense and General Staff which are located in the heart of the most densely populated area in Israel. Our soldiers were not captured in a military action, but "abducted" like the victims of gangsters, while our army "arrests" the leaders of Hamas. Hizbullah, as is well known, is "financed" by Iran and Syria, quite unlike Israel, which "receives generous support" from our great friend and ally, the United States.
