Appeasing Hezballah at The Ouwet Front: A Lebanese Forces Blog

Appeasing Hezballah

Posted by Mickel

Appeasement is “the policy of settling international quarrels by admitting and satisfying grievances through rational negotiation and compromise, thereby avoiding the resort to an armed conflict which would be, expensive, bloody and possibly dangerous.”

In other words, it is simply giving in to an agressor’s demands in order to avoid conflict.

When I look back in history at the biggest and most common example of appeasement — England and France’s appeasement of Hitler — I can’t help but notice that we are facing the same situation here in Lebanon:

Let’s say that the French and British who were victorious in WWI are the M14 alliance which was victorious on March 14. And let’s say that Hitler is Hezballah.

Thirty years ago in Lebanon, the Shi’ite community was largely neglected and was living in poverty and misery. Then Hezballah took control of that community promising a better life and more rights… That’s the same way Hitler came to power; promising a defeated and humiliated German population to reclaim its dignity and rightfull place atop the world.

He then started to violate the Treaty of Versailles — but the British and French didn’t do anything about it, to avoid another devastating war in Europe.

The Nazis’ first violations were small and insignificant like the remilitarization of the Rhineland and the rearming of the German army with heavy weapons. England complained but did little else.

Then came the annexation of Austria. Which was a big deal — but again, the French and English didn’t do much seeing that Austria wanted to be annexed (or added to Germany).

Hitler was doing all of this under the excuse of uniting the German-speaking people in one country. Just like Hezballah is keeping its weapons under the cover of ‘resistance’.

Then Hitler set his eyes on the Sudetenland, a mountainous region of Czechoslovakia which is inhabited by German-speaking Czechs. The British, French, and Czechs weren’t happy about that. So to settle the argument, the Munich Conference was held. Let’s say this Munich Conference is the Doha Agreement. All parties returned from Munich with relief and proudly claimed that they spared Europe another devastating war — just like M14 claimed to have spared Lebanon another vicious civil war.

Neville Chaimberlan proudly told the British people: ”My good friends, for the second time in our history a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time.” Oh how naive does that sound now.

Hitler had signed an agreement with the Soviets as well, assuring that he won’t attack them. In that deal, the Nazis and Soviets also secretly agreed to partition Poland amongst themselves. The Soviets were proud of that deal and claimed that it will protect them from Nazi aggression.

A few months later, Hitler invaded Poland and the rest is history.

The Nazis ate up most of Europe, invaded France and the Soviet Union, and went way beyond uniting the German-speaking peoples of Europe. WWII was the deadliest conflict mankind has ever seen and caused Europe years of suffering, misery, and death.

The moral of the story is: Stop appeasing Hezbollah! They’re lying! And giving in to their demands is just another Aspirin pill that we’re giving to Lebanon; it’s not going to solve the problem.

Good analysis Mickel… I remind you that Hitler and Germany eventually got their asses kicked… So if history does indeed repeat itself, Hezbollah is in for a big ass kicking party. Defeating Hitler however literally destroyed Germany and left it in ruins, let’s just hope Lebanon doesn’t meet the same fate.; in my opinion it will. The only to way to get rid of Hezbollah is to crush militarily, unfortunately doing that will only mean the destruction of Lebanon. Tough choice, tough decision…..

“it is simply giving in to an agressor’s demands in order to avoid conflict.”
“just like M14 claimed to have spared Lebanon another vicious civil war. ”
So basically what you are saying is that to avoid civil war you accepted the 1960 law!
So the 1960 law was the LF giving in to the demands of hizballa!
So you are saying that hizballa would have went to war for the sake of a fair electoral law for the christians?
Ya zalamé think before you post.
And please stop comparing hizballa to nazis, that’s the oldest trick in the book for demonizing your enemy.
Nazis judge people by who they are instead of what they’ve done, and that’s what the jews do(they are racists), and hizballa hate them only because of that.

You’re 100% right Mickel. We’re going to war anyways, HA won’t just give its arms up and it want all of Lebanon.

Fou2ad, you’re an Aounist aren’t you??? I can see that from the stupidity of your comment.
4. Rima | August 31st, 2008 at 3:24 am

to Fouad and to all
I don’t think the jews are racists…the Europeans were very hostile towards them. Have you heard of anti-semitism?

While Isreal is begging for peace, Iran and most Arab countries use the anti-Israel rhetoric to defuse peoples’ anger towards the dreadful socio-economic situations they live in. Since I was born all I hear yahoud yahoud sahayineh…..that is how these dictatorships divert peoples’ attention from vital issues like democracy, economy and progress…

It is time to challenge this dreadful taboo in our mentality…Iran is now a greater threat to the Arabs than Israel.If you read the history of Iran you see how the shiaanisation of the sunnis of Iran occurred.No time to discuss that here but it is worth looking at it…

Mickel

I totally agree with you.By appeasing the beast they are making them bolder and stronger…there is no way these thugs will surrender their arms…

People in Akkar were poorer than the shiaas…so what? Being poor is not an excuse to become terrorists

Fou2ad

You and I both know that you’re smarter than that.
You’re thinking that since HA gave you more ministers or their attack got us a better law, then they mean well.

Look at the big picture.

Mickel,
Great post, i agree with you it’s been my argument for a lomg time, no one wants to see war but these thugs will not give up their weapons so you have to disarm them with arms and yes Lebanon will be distroyed but they are distoying it as is slowly, people tell me we don’t live in the 70’s and Lebanon can’t afford another war but i say maybe we should at least we fought for our cause and weren’t scared of what they might do and settle to appease them, i say fuck them enough is enough we have to make a stand no matter what other wise we’re done, they already got away with murder and all we’re doing is feeding the beast and they will take a bigger bits each time.
9. Tarek | August 31st, 2008 at 4:08 am

Well Rima, couldn’t help it after I read the comment …

About the Jews you’re right we were brain washed to focus only on them, however they were racists in a way or another though magnified A LOT. I would’ve supported peace however there were millions who were kicked out of their homes and lands and if they can only return I would be ok with that: I’m too idealistic to support peace but I think the relationship should be managed better. U.S. and the USSR had a cold war and they had opposite ideology but they managed stuff. I mean if you look at it in one way there is a country who did more harm to Lebanon (Syria) and they are less than Israel military wise but still we’re in peace with them and not with Israel …

Israel’s problem with palestinians should not prohibit us from having a peace treaty…This is a national security issue and not a moral issue…Almost most Arab, African and Asian countries have poor records of human rights and impoverish their citizens and torture them… so morally all democratic countries should cut diplomatic ties with them…However they don’t because of political and economic interets…the same should apply to Israel…I personally consider Syria a harsher enemy than Israel…they showered us with rockets more than anyone…they stole our resources for 30 years how come we still call them brothers…aren’t we racists by treating Syrians as brothers and Isreali as enemies

I think teh Aounis ekhra will be in the museum coz they will be extinct soon…after Samer Hanna’s assassination no one will beleive your bullsh*t anymore.
15. Rima | August 31st, 2008 at 5:34 am

Mickel by the way it is true Nazis are different than HAs coz at least Nazis were not traitors they were trying to expand Germany…HAs are mourtazakka ya jamea2…min wein el mal wel silah and for whom they are working? For Iran’s expansion…got it now Doccy
16. N10452 | August 31st, 2008 at 6:30 am

I find quite insulting to the Nazis comparing them to Hezbollah, since despite all their racist theories which i condemn, at least they were patriotic about their own country ..

Nonetheless, the difference ya mickel is that ken fi rjel confronting the Nazis, like Churchill & Roosvlet back then .. and the other main point is that had Hitler invaded Russia, i hardly imagine how anyone could have defeated him anymore .. not before tens of years at least ..
17. Omega | August 31st, 2008 at 6:59 am

my friend likes ja3ja3 so when he visited lebanon recently he went all the way up to me3rab to take a photo with him.
this incident reminded me of when i went to jbeil museum and had a photo next to the statue of amin jmayyil.
the common thing between amin and ja3ja3 is that thy now both belong to the museum for ppl to take photos with them.
AHZEB ATHARIYYI .

When the hizb leaders say they want to wipe out israel they believe in what their say. It is the same for Iran leaders (but not for Syria which is “pragmatic”).
So we are heading for a major conflict (which can degenerates this time in a world conflict).
Considering the very low moral and ethic standards attained by people today this horrible war seems more likely than not, and don’t tell me it is not about moral or ethics ; everything is about moral and ethics because everyone acts according to what he thinks in his heart (even unconsciously) and not according to what he says because we hear people saying they want love and peace for everyone while (almost) nobody will give you one dollar if you are in need!
21. paul | August 31st, 2008 at 7:54 pm

I have a different version for comparison(wlaw ma 7ada sa2alne)

the WEHRMACHT knew nothing about the cruel acts of the SS and GOSTAPO,they only fought on the front.

HA most fighters are convinced that they are fighting for lebanon,and do not know that their leader want to build a totalitarian state ,to be a tail for iran.

Doc1559,finally you have an important task, you should shake awake those smart fighters.

say hallo to the KKK
