AL Manar TV
The Voice of Hezbollah
Hezbollah's TV station , funded by Iran requires all women reporters to wear traditional modest Muslim dress. As spokespersons for the export of Iran's Islamic fundamentalist revolution, it is important that the requirements of Islamic law be followed by all
Islam means submission. Islam means surrender. It means you surrender and accept Islamic hegemony over yourselves..."
Programing includes regular anti semetic propaganda such as this drama where the actor playing a Jew says " We need the blood of a Christian Child."
Iran and Hezbollah pound this vitriolic invective home to the Shia Mulims who tune in daily.
"There's not a single verse in the Koran talking about peace with a non-Muslim, with the Jews and the Christians.
Shia Muslims celebrate Ashoura in Lebanon. This is a ritual of blood letting in rememberance of events in Islam in the year 680 AD.
Hezbollah Stance on the Use of Terrorist Tactics
Hezbollah is believed to be responsible for multiple kidnappings[78][79][80][81], murders[78][80][67], hijackings[67], and bombings[67][70][82][83], and is widely credited with pioneering the use of suicide bombing. Nevertheless, writers have quoted Hezbollah clerics discomfort and "squeamishness" with the tactic,“But all these theological somersaults suggest that religion may be as much a hurdle, which the perpetrators of ‘martyrdom operations’ need to overcome, as a motive for their violence" [84].
Hezbollah has not been directly involved in a suicide bombing since 1999 and has publically denounced some of these attacks. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Hezbollah condemned Al Qaeda for targeting the civilian World Trade Center, but remained silent on the attack on the Pentagon, neither favoring nor opposing the act.[85][86] Hezbollah also denounced the Armed Islamic Group massacres in Algeria, Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya attacks on tourists in Egypt,[87] and the murder of Nick Berg.[88] Nasrallah, in a 2006 interview with the Washington Post, condemned violence against American civilians: “[I]f there are American tourists, or intellectuals, doctors, or professors who have nothing to do with this war, they are innocent, even though they are Americans, and it is forbidden. It is not acceptable to harm them.”[85]
Although Hezbollah has denounced attacks on Western civilians, it makes an exception in the case of Israel. In June 2002, shortly after the Israeli government launched Operation Defensive Shield, which culminated in the Battle of Jenin, Nasrallah gave a speech in which he defended and praised suicide bombings of Israeli civilians; including women and children; by members of Palestinian groups for "creating a deterrence and equalizing fear." Nasrallah stated that "in occupied Palestine there is no difference between a soldier and a civilian, for they are all invaders, occupiers and usurpers of the land;"[89] making no distinction between killing soldiers or murdering women and children.
In addition, the organization's television station Al-Manar airs programming designed to inspire suicide attacks in Gaza, the West Bank and Iraq[90][91]. [92]
