For one who had a personal experience of the eastern mentality there is no contradiction in Shimon Perez’s statements (Shimon Perez is the oldest Israeli politician with the most experience). Israel isn’t only factor of violence in the Middle East as the Arabs and their western fans want to prove. The hate for a democratic State of western type, like Israel, is natural for the despotic oriental regimes. It is enough only example of Yemen War with 55,000 Egyptian troops in 1965. So the actual military activity of pro-Iranian Hezbollah only in part concerns Israel. I have read immediately reportage by Charles Chuman from Beirut (Pajamas Media). Situation is rather strange: central Beirut is occupied by Hezbollah, Christian suburbs north of Beirut were unaffected by the violence, Hezbollah is now marching on the Druze suburbs south of Beirut. There are also reports of clashes in the northern city of Tripoli. Charles Chuman reports words of a Lebanese: “Was this a coup? Hezbollah took land, but does not control the state. What happens, now?” Nobody understands what happens. Iranians or Syrian intrigues? Or spontaneous explosion of violence amongst thugs tired of peaceful silence? Indeed, when they cannot kill in Israel, they kill in Beirut or any other place, simple market, for example, or public school for handicapped children.
