Hizbullah’s Struggle to Change the Lebanese Regime

May 1, 2009 | Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Dr. Shimon Shapira

On April 3, 2009, Hizbullah published its political platform in advance of elections to the Lebanese parliament scheduled for June 7, 2009. The document calls for the abolition of sectarian politics and for the enactment of a new election law that would alter the equation of sectarian forces in Lebanon. The abolition of the existing political system will advance Hizbullah toward its fundamental goal: the establishment of an Islamic state and a complete Iranian takeover of Lebanon.

They have a dream - to join the other Islamic forces, to revolutionize the whole Middle East.

August 30, 2008 | Lt.-Gen. (ret.) Moshe Yaalon

The 2006 Israel-Hizbullah war, in which the northern third of Israel came under 34 days of fire by 4,2281 Iranian and Syrian rockets, should be a clear illustration that the hostility and aggression that Israel faces in the Middle East does not arise from Israel’s “occupation” of the West Bank, or from Palestinian statelessness.
