Hezbollah Admits: Appeasing Violent Hatred Doesn't Decrease Violence or Hatred

We missed this part of this story when it came out four days ago, but we wanted to post it so you see it and so that we have somewhere to link to when we make this obviously true but somehow controversial argument in the future. When Israel's genocidal enemies are appeased after attacks and atrocities, they're more likely to repeat those attacks and atrocities:

Mahmoud Komati, deputy chief of Hezbollah's political arm, also told The Associated Press in an interview that his group will not lay down arms... In the past, he said, Israeli responses to Hezbollah actions included sending commandos into Lebanon to seize Hezbollah officials or briefly targeting specific Hezbollah strongholds. He said the Shiite group had anticipated there would be negotiations on exchanging the Israeli soldiers for three Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails, with Germany acting as a mediator as it did before.

He doesn't mention that he also expected that the world would more or less quickly side with Hezbollah's demands for negotiations because that the world had more or less quickly sided with Hamas's identical demands for negotiations just two weeks before. Listen - Israel's anti-Semitic Muslim enemies really do believe all the way down in their black little hearts that the world hates Jews just like they do. That's why you get these insane letters from Ahmadinejad to Germany, saying that they should cooperate in eradicating Zionism. They really, really believe that the world would like to get rid of the Jewish problem - and that, if someone just overcomes the Jews' control of the media and proposes genocide out loud, then eventually people all over the world will openly proclaim their support.
We don't want to sound paranoid. But even a cursory examination of anti-Israel Leftist activism - from inexplicable zeal in fabricating imaginary Israeli human rights violations to incoherent arguments about blame and "cycles of violence" to the breathtaking venom of anti-Semitism qua anti-Zionism... even a cursory examination raises the horrible possibility that Ahmadinejad is less than completely wrong.
