I need to check and verify something.Can you please post the link to the article?
Just google the quote and you'll get a whole listing of sources.

As for what you wrote, I doubt that a million Palestinians will be transferred into Lebanon. Sounds too impossible. Conspiracy theories only hurt.

Then you check this:Norman G. Finkelstein

That rare thing, a truth-teller

Editor's note: A note on the campaign to smear Hezbollah as "Jews haters" (just do a quick Google.com, IceRocket.com or Technorati.com search) with "fantasies of genocide" that addresses 2 of the most commonly used accusations.

A letter from Charles Glass in response to Eugene Goodheart's accusation in the latest London Review of Books that he (Glass) is too generous to Nasrallah, the Secretary General of Hizbullah. Worth reading.


Too fair to Hizbullah?

Vol. 28 No. 19 dated 5 October 2006 | London Review of Books
By Charles Glass:


Eugene Goodheart asks whether I am familiar with two statements he attributes to Hizbullah's secretary-general, Sayed Hassan Nasrallah (Letters, 7 September [1]). Goodheart uses the inflammatory quotations to accuse Nasrallah of being 'an anti-semite with fantasies of genocide'. If I am unfamiliar with the statements, it is because they are in all likelihood fabrications.

The first ('If they [the Jews] all gather in Israel it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide') was circulated widely on neo-con websites, which give as its original source an article by Badih Chayban in Beirut's English-language Daily Star on 23 October 2002. It seems that Chayban left the Star three years ago and moved to Washington. The Star's managing editor writes of Chayban's article on Nasrallah, that 'I have faith in neither the accuracy of the translation [from Arabic to English] nor the agenda of the translator [Chayban].' The editor-in-chief and publisher of the Star, Jamil Mrowe, adds that Chayban was 'a reporter and briefly local desk sub and certainly did not interview Nasrallah or anyone else.' The account of Nasrallah's speech in the Lebanese daily As Safir for the same day makes no reference to any anti-semitic comments. Goodheart's second quotation — 'They [the Jews] are a cancer which is liable to spread at any moment' — comes from the Israeli government's website at Excerpts from Speech by Hizbullah Secretary-Genera.[2]

For the record, a Hizbullah spokeswoman, Wafa Hoteit, denies that Nasrallah made either statement.

Goodheart wonders whether, as a former captive of Hizbullah, I may have succumbed to Stockholm syndrome; may I ask in return whether he is succumbing to the disinformation that passes for scholarship and journalism in certain quarters in the United States?

Under this president and a new government soon inshalah we should get the issue of the palestinians resolved once and for all. All palestinians armed within/out of the camps should be disarmed AND we should get them deported as soon as possible possibly to AUS, USA or any other EUROPEAN country. After this we can put forward a national defence strategy in which HA and other militia all give their guns to the army AFTER shebaa is given back to us as well as our prisoners and at the head of that SAMIR EL KUNTAR. The LAF will remain the only ones armed in lebanon to protect lebanon and all of us.

If you do not want Palestinians what makes you think others do or why should they?

Don't bother yourself too much, they will be going to their homes sooner rather than later. The game is up.

Where is that 'wherever'?
I know and everybody knows you want Palestinians out of Lebanon.
Now, do you know those who want them and will let them in?
Isn't that the minimum prerequisite for this type of transaction?
Let's face it. Either Palestinians will build their own state or you (and Palestinians) are stuck.
