Clip #368: Lebanese Information Minister: Martyrdom is "Art" and Creates a
"Strategic Balance"

An excerpt: "Recently, there has been a claim that martyrdom is an act of
extremism. Why?! It is art! It is light because in light of the great
imbalance in the region and the world, and in light of Israel's military
supremacy over the Arab regimes and over the entire nation-- the concept of
martyrdom appeared in order to create a strategic balance. An airplane takes
off and kills 100 people. Then, someone who believes in his god and the
world to come says [to Israel]: 'This operation is dedicated to you!'"
