The Hizbu-‘llah, a ‘Terrorist’ Organization or a ‘Guerrilla’ Movement?
The Hizbu-‘llāh was a potent guerrilla movement, formed in 1982. It is a blanket organization for the Revolutionary Justice Organization, the Jihād for a Free Palestine, and other Revolutionary Arab Groups. The Hizbu-‘llāh is antagonistic to Israel and Western influences in Lebanon. Both the U.S. and Israel assert that the Hizbu-‘llāh is a ‘terrorist organization’ that engages in ‘terrorist activities’ (bombings, abductions et cetera). While the Hizbu-‘llāh assert that it is a vehicle for the Islamic Jihād (Qur՚ān, 2: 214, 215; 8: 39 – 42) v.i., a ‘guerrilla movement’. And as a leading political party following the post-civil war period (1975-76). Whatever description the Hizbu-‘llāh may be today, we can be assured – as the historical record has demonstrated time and again, in other situations – that it will metamorphose to a pyramid Inversée description tomorrow.
Human Potential Towards the Cesspool of Terrorism. A Nation of High Culture to a Nation of Savagery.
“C’est au milieu de ce cloaque infect que le plus grand fleuve de I’industrie humaine prend sa source et va feconder I’univers. De cet egout immonde, I’or pur s’ecoule. C’est la que I’esprit humain se perfectionne et s’abrutit; que la civilisation produit ses merveilles et que I’homme civilise redevient presque sauvage”.
“It is from the midst of this putrid sewer that the greatest river of human industry springs up and carries fertility to the whole world. From this foul drain pure gold flows forth. Here it is that humanity achieves for itself both perfection and brutalization, that civilization produces its wonders, and that civilized man becomes again almost a savage”.
Alexis de Tocqueville, Voyage en Angleterre et en Irlande de 1835′.
Nation states have also been accountable for sanctioning ‘terrorist’ acts, for example, Germany one of the most civilized and cultured nation states of Europe. Germany gave to the world great intellectual giants such as Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900), and Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-45 ). The Neoclassicists: Goethe (1749-1832), and Schiller (1759-1805). Ludwig Mendelssohn (1809-1847), and Richard Wagner (1813-1883) who created great musical compositions of the early German Romantic period (18th-19th. Germany was universally recognized, in history, for its tremendous contributions to learning, particularly in the 19th, and the first quarter of the 20th century. It has made enormous contributions to the fields of science, technology, philosophy, psychology,et cetera. Notwithstanding its pre-eminent scientific, technological achievements, and cultural traditions, it was capable of burning all non-Aryan books. For example, Voltaire, Darwin, Tolstoy, Heine, and any other publications that were contrary to government policies (10 May 1933); Germany ceased being German.
“Dort, wo man bücher Verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.
Wherever books will be burned, men also, in the end, are burned”.
Heinrich Heine, ‘Almansor’, (1823).
Eight years later, begun the Holocaust (1941-1945). The organized mass persecution and unmitigated extermination of 6,000,000 German, Russian, and Polish Jews. These systematic killings were carried out with the enthusiastic acquiescence, and support of some of the élite intellectuals, among whom there were scientists, writers, and artists.
“Man with all his noble qualities …still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin”.
Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man, (1871).
