Hezbollah's threats, world's silence

article about Hezbollah's leader's words

The above is an article that has appeared in yesteday's and today's papers - but just some of them.
You won't find it in leading West European's papers. It won't make to the first pages, or even second ones, and it should.

There is this old saying - the awful things happen when good people keep silence and do nothing. That is all it takes. It - sadly - has been proven more than once but we people have never learnt.

I want to propose you an excersize in imagination: try to imagine Israeli official saying publicly that Israel is not only capable to strike any place on Westa Bank and Gaza and Lebanon and Syria but is also willing to use this ability and predicts that the era of Palestinians is about to end and they will cease to exist (presumably murdered). Can you imagine the scream and histeria in all media? And rightly so as nobody has right to call for genocide. But apparently some are allowed as nobody cares in mainstream media for those words. Presumably indicating them for what they are would be called "exagerating" and "Islamophobia" - first being insult to sound mind ("if somebody is telling you they want to kill you you better believe") the later is insult to all those Muslims who would like the world to see in them something definitely other than people craving for jihad or killing or delighted in hatred and who are ashamed about such links. Oh, BTW it is also patronising (so exactly what is so much avoided - theoretically - in, say, UK) as the lack of interest of media is presumption that it is "normal" for the speaker and "they can't do any better and know no better" - well, they should. And saying they are not capable (supposition I strongly reject) is patronising people in Lebanon, Arabs or Muslims, depending on the way you look at it.
I say - no double standards and no silence in response to such calls. It is totally INACCEPTABLE to say such words, it is equally INACCEPATABLE to be silent when presented with such words.

Being silent when confronted with hatred, calling for genocide, contempt for other people, trying to appease the haters (as did Chambarlain and Deladier with Hitler) only makes hatred stronger and more self-assured and causes anger in those who are left alone. I am sick and tired hearing another terrorist calling for genocide, another man calling for destruction of Israel and seeing no reaction in European media....

I say ENOUGH and encourage you to say "enough" with me - call your MPs and encourage them to do sth about it, try to write media, share the news, please. It is for good people in the world to do sth before it is too late......
