Hezbollah Will Win

Writing by shinda on Tuesday, 8 of August , 2006

Over the past few weeks I’ve been in various discussions with people over the Israel / Lebanon conflict always trying to see things as objectively as I possibly could, from both sides. In light of all this I can clearly say that I’m behind Hezbollah in this conflict and although it’s hard to fathom, can see them coming out of this on top.

Firstly, I’ll openly admit that Hezbollah is out gunned and out manned. However, one can never under estimate the power of the guerrilla fighter. Guerrilla’s in the context that I speak of them are those individuals fighting in a resistance movement, against an oppressive government. Basically the way I look at it, although maybe naively is that the guerrilla fighter is he who fights for something greater then himself, the underdog going up against the heavy weight champ In that sense, it goes without saying that a guerrilla warrior is by far one of the strongest type of warriors that any foe can go up against on the field. The Sikh jhajaroo’s of the 80’s and 90’s and of today are guerrilla’s. The strength of the guerrilla against the forces of the West in this case Israel, was best summed by Malcolm X, in his Ballot of a Bullet speech that he gave, when he described why the White Man (US, British, Euro league) will never win another war when fighting against such guerrilla’s,

Why some rice farmers — some rice farmers — some rice eaters ran him out of Korea. Yes, they ran him out of Korea. Rice eaters with nothing but gym shoes and a rifle and a bowl of rice took him and his tanks and his napalm and all that other action he’s supposed to have and ran him across the Yalu. Why? ‘Cause the day that he can win on the ground has passed.

Up in French Indo-China those little peasants, rice growers, took on the might of the French army and ran all the Frenchmen — you remember Dien Bien Phu. No.

The same thing happened in Algeria, in Africa. They didn’t have anything but a rifle. The French had all these highly mechanized instruments of warfare, but they put some guerrilla action on, and a — and a — and a white man can’t fight a guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla action takes heart, takes nerve, and he doesn’t have that. He’s brave when he’s got tanks. He’s brave when he’s got planes. He’s brave when he’s got bombs. He’s brave when he got a whole lot of company along with him, but you take that little man from Africa and Asia, turn him loose in the woods with a blade, with a blade — that’s all he needs, all he needs is a blade — and when the sun comes down — goes down and it’s dark, it’s even-steven.

The greatest asset that a guerrilla has, is the fact that the guerrilla is not fighting someone else’s war (again sticking to my definition of a guerrilla). He is not doing a job, which will put food on his table, or completing a duty for which he will get a cheque to help pay his bills. The guerrilla warrior is that person fighting for something larger then himself, an idea which can not die with the death of just one man. It’s because of this that the guerrilla fighters always have uprisings. Israel has been fighting Hezbollah since ‘82, and with each new generation finds itself fighting the same battle over and over again, simply because you can kill the people, but not the idea, and cause that Hezzbollah’s fighting for, which the majority of people in Lebanon support, ie. Israel out of Lebanon and release of all political prisoners.

So, given that Israel may in all likeliness (even though they are getting rocked right now) win this battle, Hezbollah and the people of Lebanon will win the war, and only then will there be the chance for peace.

Otpreka Singh posted a video on his site, which I’ll post below which I feel best justifies Hezbollah’s stance against Israel and why I to choose to stand for them in this conflict.

BRUP BRUP BRUP!!!!!!!!!!! Madd respects to that man. Hezbollah is winning the battle and they will win this war. No UN resolution is going to end it because Israel will never agree to the terms of that resolution. As Shinda stated, Hezbollah is pure guerilla warfare. This is pretty much starting to look like US & UK vs Arab Nations. Afghanistan & Iraq have already been invaded on different reasons and now Israel is being used to invade the middle east. Everyone knows the United States has been longing to take control over Iran do to the resource available within Iran and thus this is another way of doing so. However, at the end of the day, Israel will not annihilate Hezbollah or Lebanese people or the Arab people. And that’s the bottom line “becoss” (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) because Stone Cold Said So!

Yes. You are right regarding Israel’s impending failure in eradicating the ‘terrorist’ threat. To add, the ‘guerrilla fighter’, in this case, emerges from something greater than himself, the transnational Nation of Islam. Thus, Hezb’Allah is drawn from this pool. The only way Israel is going to win is to cause this pool to dry up via the fair and just address of the middle east debacle or push for the creation of ‘moderate’ muslilms, which is just another term for a muslim subscribing to the idea that the nation-state’s borders is where their sense of familialarity ends - not according equal empathy to what ceases to be their brethren in ‘another’ state.

p.s. i like your banner. Though i don’t think the westernised will take kindly to the image of the ’saracen’.

Looks a little something like we went through only 20 years ago. We would be doing the same thing.

The only way Israel wins is if Hezbollah is completely destroyed and with their (Hezbollah) increasing support, it is not going to happen. I’d say probably close to, if not more than, 95% of the Lebanese is behind Hezbollah. On top of that, you only have a few countries who do call them terrorists, America, their puppet (Britain), and Israel (go figure).

I wish to say more, but cannot as I am not yet ready for Guantanamo.

Love and Peace.

You are right about guerilla fighter’s cause, idea that never ideas and determination beyond self, but one thing I don’t like is you equating them to Sikhs in 80’s and 90’s. Guru’s Khalsa doesn’t fight for land but for ideals like freedom from tyranny, opression, seeking peace and justice. Another thing is that I believe Jews do deserve an equal right to live in peace where they originated from thousand of years ago. How would Sikhs feel if Pakistan builds a mosque over Nankana Sahib and muslims fight later to claim as one of their own shrine or Hindus in India build a temple over Harmandir Sahib and claim it as their own. It has happened over and over again. Look at the case of Babri Masjid and Ayodhaya in India or Hindu Mahants exerting control over Darbar Sahib during British period. It has happened here as well to the Jews. It is sad that so many lives are being lost in over whose path to God is right. And, we are all (hindus, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs etc) supposed to be living a righteous and truthful living.

Manjit Singh,

I think you are looking to far into his comments. His point was simply that the tactics used and the heart among the guerillas now are very similar to the Sikhs then/now. It has nothing to do with their REASONS for being guerillas. Being a guerilla fighter is not dependent on one’s cause.

However, I would also like to counter one of your points. Guru’s Khalsa has always fought back when someone used their power to enter the Golden Temple. So in a way, much like Hezbollah, Guru’s Khalsa has and always will fight for land (Golden Temple for us, Lebanon for them) that is rightfully theirs. Watch the first 20 minutes of the video I posted, and you too will see that Hezbollah IS fighting “for ideals like freedom from tyranny, opression, seeking peace and justice.”

Before the Jews were given Israel in 1948, the land was called Palestine. The vast majority of the people were Palestinians. But, in the early 40’s the JEWS introduced TERRORISM into the region, and from being pitied after the Holocaust, they were rewarded the State of Israel. And since then they have illegally militarily occupied land that was NOT theirs.

The examples you gave of happenings to Sikhs does not suffice for Jews. It is not the same. I am out of time for now, but I will finish this off at a later time.

columbus,

The problem is you are only going back to Jewish History and Orgins from 1948 onwards. I still don’t agree with you that our Gurus created the Khalsa to occupy a piece of land. The concept of Khalsa is beyond man mad boundries that you are associating it with. Let me ask you this, would you support creation of Khalistan out of Punjab and further division of India, it was created with the help of United States right now with a condition that Khalistani leaders be allies of the United States and the west?

“I still don’t agree with you that our Gurus created the Khalsa to occupy a piece of land. ”

Please quote me on this. Thank you.

“Let me ask you this, would you support creation of Khalistan out of Punjab and further division of India, it was created with the help of United States right now with a condition that Khalistani leaders be allies of the United States and the west?”

I might be more inclined to answer this if the basis of the argument wasn’t fallacious in itself. Israel was NOT created with any condition that it be allies of the US and the west. You live in America, so you should know firsthand how much power Jews have in this country. Jews (from America) basically gave themselves the state of Israel.

To put it into perspective, no I would not like Khalistan to be created in southern India. And this is exactly what happened. Palestine at the time was I believe 70% Christians. And then you had the Muslims, and Jews made up a small minority until the West decided to ship them to Palestine after the Holocaust and give them their own country.

We pray for Khalsa Raj as Sikhs and not a little few acres of land called Khalistan in Punjab that some people want to claim as their own. Also you yourself are saying “Guru’s Khalsa has always fought back when someone used their power to enter the Golden Temple.” Why are we just fighting for Darbar Sahib in Amritsar and not fighting Pakistan to get back Nankana Sahib, Iraq to get back places visited by Guru Nanak during his visits or other places in Tibet, Sri lanka, Bihar, UP, New Delhi and others where Sikh Gurus paid visits and established Sikh institutions? Are they not equally important?

And, how about Gurughars in Canada, U.S., England, Africa and all. How important are they to you for fighting back? I hear about police entering Gurghars all the times to break up fights. Given your logic we should be fighting with police on monthly or yearly basis the way Sikh panth is going. When are we going to look inwards at ourselves and see may be at times we are to blame. I am not saying this was the case in 84 since Indra Gandhi had other motives as well, but I do blame some Sikhs as well including Sant Bhindrawala for taking shelter in Darbar Sahib. Our Gurus didn’t even wage wars from Darbar Sahib.

I don’t feel the need nor the want to argue/agree with anything you said in the above. This statement says all I need to hear:

“Given your logic we should be fighting with police on monthly or yearly basis the way Sikh panth is going.”

You have vastly misconstrued what I have been saying on an epic proportion. Instead of telling me what my logic is saying, why don’t you tell me how YOU really feel. You are trying to make YOUR point (which I have no idea what is) through MY argument and it’s not working. Nor do I see how most of what you said translates to the topic at hand.

Thank you for your judgement as to what makes a person Sikh? I would like to know if Patna, Uttar Pardesh and other states or countries like Pakistan where Sikh Gurdwaras are present going to be part of Khalistan declared by Sarbat Khalsa? If not, why not? Sorry to be disrespectful, but what are you guys doing in Canada? It is easy for anybody including myslef to sit comfortably here in U.S. and Canada and other places to support Khalistan and claim to be a Sikh.

Can you please explain why you think that Sant Jarnail Singh Jee took “shelter” in Darbar Sahib? Doesn’t a Sikh have a right to stay at a Gurughar whenver he/she wishes?

I am sorry guys, I am going to drop the subject. I think we can go on and on in circles on this. This is my last post and I did not mean to hurt any one personally. It is a great discussion and I learned a lot. If supporting Khalistan makes you a better Sikh, that is wonderful, but I will wait and keep praying for Khalsa Raj that I believe Guru Gobind Singh Ji meant for us less Sikhs.

Israel uses illegal chemical weapons. I can’t wait to see how people defend their actions this time.

“Symptoms: Thirty-three distinct symptoms attributed to the unidentified gas, all but three of these symptoms appear to be typical of nerve gas poisoning. Victims were “jumping up and down, left and right … thrashing limbs around,” suffering “convulsions … a kind of hysteria. They were all shaking.” Others were already unconscious. An hour or two later, they would come to. And the convulsions and the vomiting and disorientation and pain would return.” Many leading to death.

Move to 33 minutes and watch it with your own eyes.

Analysis of docters and professionals dealing with the gas agree it is against all UN CONVENTIONS:
