Lawyers and professors from Iran got in a little jihad against Israel while on vacation in Lebanon. From the Daily Star, with thanks to LGF:
Iranian tourists pelted Israeli positions with stones at the Fatima Gate border point during a visit to the Southern region Friday, having arrived in Lebanon on a trip from Syria by way of Western Bekaa.On the opposite side of the border, scores of Israelis and foreign tourists were sighted moving around in a park at Metullah settlement, while soldiers manned their fortified positions.
The Iranians numbered about 90, among them lawyers and university professors, and included men, women and children. Their first stop over was in the former Khiam detention camp, once run by Israeli occupation forces or their allied militiamen.
Those looking after the notorious camp, which has since become an important landmark, explained to the visitors methods of torture once used against detainees, especially resistance fighters.
The tourists then moved to a spot facing Metullah and took some snapshots after having disembarked from two buses.
A university professor from Teheran, Hamdi Nazeri, said the group had come to Syria and from there to Lebanon on a tourist trip "to have a look at the border and see what happened to the Jews after their defeat in May 2000."
Khomeini came to power with the support, moral and material, of the PLO. His first visitor was Yassir Arafat. The PLO helped provide the enforcers for the Khomeini regime, especially in its first bloody months. Iranians sick of the Arabization of their country should remember, at every step, what that influence has done. Nothing good has ever come to Persia from Arabia. Firdowsi is reputed to have rescued Farsi. Persian culture, precisely and only when it ignored what Islam had declared haram, and created likenesses of human forms in its delicate miniatures (Persian and Indo-Persian), managed to sustain a Persian culture. Shi'a Islam is not, parce Stephen Schwartz and a few dreamy others, less anti-Infidel than Sunni Islam. But Persian civlization, and especially the pre- and extra-Islamic dimensions to that civilization, have left the Persians with a clear sense of their own superiority to the Arabs -- and that superiority ought to be played upon by the Infidels, looking for ways not to unite, not to bring "democracy" (that chimerical and useless -- from an Infidel's point of view -- project) to Iraq or the Arab countries, but to practice "divide et impera" just as was done with Axis sympathizers, and with Communist countries. The hostility between China and Soviet Russia was a good thing; the war between Iran and Iraq was a good thing; hostility between Muslim regimes and peoples is, for Infidels, a good thing. Yet we seem to be hellbent on the opposite: on making Sunni and Shia lie down with one another (and which is the lion? and which the lamb?). Nonsense on stilts.
No Islamic vacation is complete without a good stoning session.
Once again.....they bring rocks to a gunfight...
Too bad the Israelis didn't open fire and give 'em a chance to become martyrs.
