HIZBALLAH, EXPANDING RELGIOUS WARFARE: ISRAELIS KILLING INDISCRIMINATELY
BECAUSE 'YAHWEH' IS "RACIST GOD"

JERUSALEM-JULY 28 2006[10:30 AM]

Hizballah's television station Al-Manar launched an unusually
anti-Semitic attack on Israel a few minutes ago, when a featured commentator
claimed that Jews were instructed to kill women and children.

"What does their Torah say: it says kill all men, women and children and
even animals," said the Hizballah commentator, Ghassan Matar, identified as
a former member of the Lebanese parliament.

"That is what their Israeli Zionist god, their racist god 'Yahweh' orders
them," sneered Matar, the gray-haired commentator, gesturing broadly with
his hands.

His words were an apparent reference to Biblical commandment for
retribution against the tribe of Amalek which staged an unprovoked attack on
the Children of Israel after the exodus from Egypt [Exodus 17: 8-16,
Deuteronomy 25: 17-19]

Jews are commanded to remember Amalek's deeds and to "erase" Amalek, but
many Jewish biblical commentaries state that the tribe of Amalek has ceased
to exist, and that the commandment is a reminder of how to deal with
terrorists who stage unprovoked attacks on innocent people.

Matar, who was wearing tinted eye glasses and a short-sleeved yellow
jacket, said that Israeli conquest of some villages in southern Lebanon
would not bring it victory.

Hizballah and its television station Al-Manar are well-known for extreme
messages and anti-Jewish themes including the broadcasting of programs
based on the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"-a paradigmic anti-Semitic
tract first developed by the Russian Czars and then distributed by the
Soviets.

However, today's effusion seemed to be indicative of some of the tension
felt by Hizballah personnel in recent days-perhaps because of rising
casualties-which has produced more vitriolic attacks on Judaism, America ,
and "moderate" Arab states, as well as the usual assaults on "the Zionist
Enemy."
