  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

From the BBC on January 19, 2008: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7197679.stm

Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah says his armed group has body parts of Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon during the 2006 conflict.

He said they had the "heads, the hands, the feet and even a nearly intact cadaver" in a speech marking his first public appearance in more than a year.


This same story is also being carried by Al Jazeera:

Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, has taunted Israel saying his group possessed the remains of its soldiers left on the battlefield in Lebanon after the 2006 war.

Nasrallah made his comments on Saturday in his first public appearance in over a year, taking part in the annual Shia religious ceremony of Ashura in Beirut.
In a speech transmitted to the crowd on a huge screen, he said: "Oh Zionists your ... your army has left the body parts of your soldiers in our villages and fields."

He said Hezbollah had the "heads of your [Israel's] soldiers, we have hands, we have legs".

Personally, I find it absolutely outrageous and disgusting that a man who claims to be the religious leader of over a million people would make boastful comments like this. No wonder the Lebanese people have had so much turmoil and bloodshed over the years.
