Hezbollah And Hamas Escalate Kidnapping Rhetoric, Attempts

* Filthy and disgusting:

Hezbollah militants erected a large photograph on Thursday of abducted Israel Defense Forces soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev in an area along Lebanon's border with Israel. Lebanese security sources said the three-by-five meter photograph showing Goldwasser and Regev had been put up in Aita Al-Shaab, near where they were seized on July 12, 2006. Hezbollah supporters looked on, chanting anti-Israel slogans, while the poster bearing the slogan "for the sake of our detainees" and a yellow Hezbollah flag, was being erected.

Only in the Middle East could a much weaker force engage in such disgusting provocations with immunity. Think of the childlike machismo at work here. A primitive group of savages boast about their war crimes, knowing all the time that what keeps them safe is that they can run and hide behind the skirts of French UN peacekeepers. These are like particularly ill-behaved children, spoiled rotten as a result of being doted on by overly indulgent and extremely stupid parents.

* Hamas is doing its best to set the Middle East on fire:

Official Palestinian broadcast media have sharply increased anti-Israeli propaganda in recent days, including explicit and implicit calls for suicide attacks on Israeli civilians and kidnappings of Israeli soldiers. "Oh, Lord, martyrdom is [being done] for you," crooned a singer, while pictures of prominent Palestinian women suicide bombers, clad in white, floated beatifically across the screen.

It was part of a music video aired today (April 22, 2006) on the PBC television network under the direct control of Mahmoud Abbas, the PLO Chairman and Palestinian Authority leader. The same video had appeared in the past, but had disappeared after protests from Israel and the United States, but it has now returned, and it is not alone.

Let's give Abbas some more money and troops so he can take control of the TV stations and stop this incitement. That makes a lot of sense, right?
