Wehbe Katicha: “The Palestinians have made peace with Israel…”
Interviewer: “Oof…”
Katicha: “They have their own state in Ramallah and Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas]…”
Interviewer: “Their goal is to achieve an independent Palestinian state within certain borders, with Jerusalem as its capital. How can you say that they have made peace?”
Katicha: Okay, so it is not over yet, but why should four million Lebanese people bear the brunt of this cause, when there are 400 million Arabs around us, and they have all done something… Some have made peace [with Israel], and some…”
Interviewer: “What about the Lebanese occupied lands and our territorial waters?”
Katicha: “Will Hizbullah’s weapons get us our sea and the Shebaa Farms back?”
Interviewer: “These are weapons of deterrence.”
Katicha: “You are talking to a man of the military. I’m a professional soldier.”
Interviewer: “Don’t we need some sort of deterrence?”
Katicha: “How many missiles does Hizbullah have? 150,000 to 200,000 missiles? If missiles could help the Palestinian cause, Egypt would have brought 10 million missiles. Iraq, Jordan, and Syria would have brought their missiles, too.”
Interviewer: “But what about the Lebanese cause? We are in conflict with Israel.”
Katicha: “But how are 150,000 missiles supposed to help the Lebanese cause against Israel, when Egypt’s millions of missiles failed to do anything?”
Interviewer: “But isn’t there a balance of terror?”
Katicha: “That’s a big lie they tell.”
Interviewer: “So what is the truth?”
Katicha: “The truth is that Hizbullah’s weapons control the country, and it has taken the country hostage and prisoner, in order to incorporate it in the Iranian-Syrian axis. This is how we got to where we are today. That’s the entire story, and whoever tells you he wants to regain the Shebaa Farms or whatever and talks about the maritime boundary…This is all meaningless.”

Million dollar question the Lebanese people need to sort out.

Lebanon forbids Palestinians from citizenship – they don’t care about Palestinians
They have several Palestinian refugee villages, where people are stuck there indefinitely with no country. If they cared about Palestinians, Lebanon would integrate them into Lebanese society. Instead they keep them like a festering sore, and blame Israel, for somehow causing this.

Well then Lebanon should run them out too. It’s cruel and stupid to keep people in a kind of indefinite prison, just to make them suffer, so you can blame Israel for the suffering.

Yes it did. With the pallyswine homosexual leader Yasser Arafat) being the vanguard for Black September. The pallyswines got their rear-ends kicked. The pallyswine leader died of A.I.D.S.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t soon enough.

Hi I had an email exchange with Ms. Geller. She hasn’t banned me and we had a nice conversation. She suggested using another browser. Other ones I have haven’t worked but I have on more to try. It’s weird. It only happens on her website. I have no problem anywhere else. So I am communicating through DISQUS again. I’ll deal with this problem later.
I just heard That Grace Community Church in Calif.is being held in contempt. They are one of the few good churches out there. They have about 7,000 members.The last judge was fine with what they were doing and quietly disagreed with a Supreme Justice Judge on their view on this issue… I can’t say I am shocked but I am angry at this latest judge who it was appealed to for holding MacArthur in contempt and wants to impose impose penalties and ideally totally shut him down. That is the larger goal of the left in general.
Need I ask where A.G. Barr is? He talks allot and does nothing. He did say the Constitution is not suspended during a crisis. I hope Jack Hibbs gets Trump’s ear on this and has him get Barr moving on this. He is using a Trump attorney so at some point he should be aware of it. Hibbs is also in Calif. and serves on Trump’s faith committee and I suspect he will talk it up too. Although Hibbs and MacArthur have different styles they are on the same page and on message.
Allot of simple minded Christians think that, you must obey the government no matter what. No! Not in this country. They will ignorantly point to
Titus 3:1 and Romans 13:1 and conveniently forget about our Constitution and our First Amendment giving us the right to assemble and freedom of religion. So it’s the local STATE that is in violation of what our government allows us as rights! This is why the left wants to get rid of that “outdated” Constitution. No longer do they want a “living breathing one”, no – they want it abolished.
You don’t submit to people what are violating your rights so MacArhur is on legal ground to stay open. They were even social distancing, masking up and giving people the choice to come or watch it online. Singing was banned too with masks on ! Protesters get a pass not only to do scream and yell at one another but also to destroy, murder, loot, rape, assault, provoke and gather in antichrist hordes – that’s okay.
They are using this virus to erase going to church and ideally wear people down into being as godless and hopeless as they are. They are tyring to force obedience to their worldview and agenda. It’s so clear what kind of a godless country they want.
OTOH having sex with a stranger according to Fauci is fine – it’s a choice – but don’t have communion, many sates are allowing abortions for healthcare, liquor stores and casinos are all open and Calif. is putting the homeless up in hotels and supplying them with drugs, booze and you know they aren’t social distancing and masking up in there. You know what’s going on in there at tax payers expense. If they don’t rape each other to death, they’ll contract aids and other diseases and spread that around. This is all considered essential but going to church is not.
This is precisely the kind of church we need more of rather than the worthless godless “social gospel” types out there.
Just had to vent.
LA County Seeking Penalties Against Grace Community Church For Breaking Coronavirus Regulations, Holding Indoor Services

This is something that Fat Willy really cannot do much about. The DOJ’s only option is to take part in this, bring suit, and assist in the appeals process. A very long procedure. Judges are little tyrants with very big power.
Casinos are open. But, holding church services within them brings criminal charges. Nevada has a Democrat Party member as governor. That state had far too many left coast cretins move there.
Around two months ago, I told the pastor of a local church to get with the program. Take some pieces of cardboard, scrawl “blm” on them with a felt tipped marker. Have some congregants walk through the neighborhood, break some windows, loot a store or two, and toss Molotov cocktails at passing vehicles. Then … abracadabra … it’s not a church service …. it’s a peaceful protest. And, even little mikki da-whiner wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
He thought that I was joking.

Having sex with a stranger shouldn’t be problematic — as long as they observe safe distancing protocols of at least 6′ and wear proper masks.

the wages of the 1948 war are still demanding dividend payouts for Beirut. Neither Egypt, Syria, Jordan or Iraq have prospered in well over 70 years….

Lebanon is like the self-destructive junkie who refuses to change. Giving them money is a waste, it goes in their arm, and emotional support is useless unless they are clean and sober. They demand rescue, but refuse to change. That’s exactly what Lebanon is doing, demanding rescue, but refusing to change. Today President Aoun of Lebanon is spouting the same old baloney, refusing to dump Hezbollah from government, and blaming everyone else for their economic and social melt-down.
And if the junkie wins, and gets to stay a junkie, he is the one who loses. He gets to destroy himself. Lebanon is a lot like that, determinately driving itself into the ground.

So he has no problems w/his fellow f’ing muslums killing Jews in Israel, because he didn’t condemn islamic terrorism against Israel at all.
