Syrian Defense Minister: Lebanese Resistance Is Justified, My Book 'The Matzah of Zion' Is Not Antisemitic
From MEMRI Talk about having it backwards! To begin with, if Saudi Arabia "suffers from terrorism," then the only "suffering" that I see comes from a family feud--the feuding family being, of course, the House of Saud. And "Lebanese resistance to occupation"? Oh--does he mean the occupation of Lebanon by Syria? And why can't we stop calling it "Palestine"? "Palestine" is "Philistia" with a Roman post-nasal drip problem. Emperor Hadrian gave that ridiculous name to Judea after Simon bar Hochva's admittedly ill-advised rebellion.

This is also, by his own admission, the same man who wrote the libelous screed titled The Matzah of Zion, a repeat of the 1841 Damascus Blood Libel. But again, why are we surprised? He tells bigger lies than Bill Clinton did. "All ethnic groups live in peace in the Arab region" is right up there with "I did not. Have. Sexual. Relations. With that woman." Not to mention "The American forces are nowhere near Baghdad!"::Submitted for your war and rumor of war [Matthew 24:6] files.
