"An organisation that has 35 members in parliament and three ministers cannot just be described as a terrorist group", D'Alema declared in an interview with the Israeli newspaper 'Haaretz'. | Spoken like a good Socialist. |
"Hezbollah is not considered to be a terrorist group by the EU, nor in my own opinion", adding "Hezbollah is a military organisation, but also a force that presents itself at the elections". So, he stressed, "the paradox is that we support (Lebanese premier Fuad) Siniora, a democratic leader, and Siniora praises Hezbollah as defender of the Lebanese patria. It is important to understand the complexity of the situation, because with a simplistic view, one faces the enemy in the wrong way. |
