Radio Active Chief passes along a link to this video of former South Dakota Senator James Abourezk appearing on Hizbullah television granting support to terrorists and spouting, once again, standard anti-semitic cant. For example, here is Abourezk calling terrorists who purposely target the innocent "resistance fighters" and blaming Israeli pressure for having them labeled terrorists:
Interviewer: "You also called Hizbullah and Hamas 'resistance fighters.'"
James Abourezk: "They are."
Interviewer: "While the U.S. administration brands them as 'terrorist organizations'..."
James Abourezk: "That was done at the request of Israel. That name was done at the request of Israel - that the United States calls them terrorist organizations."
We at SDP have followed Abourezk's repeated verbal support of terrorist organization and his repeated appeals to standard anti-semitic claims (e.g., there is a conspiracy of rich Jews who manipulate American foreign policy to the interest of Israel). You can see previous reporting here and here and here. As noted in the last link, Abourezk has also appeared on Iranian state radio denouncing the United States government.
It is time for South Dakota to disown Jim Abourezk. His repeated apologies for terrorist organizations like Hizbullah and his toying with anti-semitic language put him beyond the pale of decent political rhetoric. This is now the second time, at least, Abourezk has denounced the American government and repeated anti-semitic fables on a media source of a known terrorist organization. Note that Abourezk was present at Tim Johnson's recent "return home" event. The whole South Dakota delegation, and then some, was present with Abourezk. They should be ashamed to treat this man as someone who is welcome in polite political company.
Hizbullah is funded by the terrorist states of Syria and Iran. Democratic Presidential candidate and Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich has also recently given an interview, this time to Syrian television, denouncing the American government and naively giving support to Bashar Assad's Syrian dictatorship as a potential partner in peace. Kucinich's actions are beyond the pale. He reveals himself as a fool and a useful idiot to the enemies of the United States. He should be denounced by the members of his party if they want to be taken seriously regarding American foreign policy.
At the risk of giving too much video for you to watch, go to Second Draft, which is a website dedicated to showing how doctored video of the death of Palestinian child Muhamed Al Durah in 2000 has become the iconography of an Islamic death cult that pervades the Middle East. Various videos on the site show how Arab and French television showed an video edited in such a way as to suggest Israeli soldiers targeted this child and his father, killing the child as he cowered behind his father. If you have seventeen minutes, go here and click on the first video, Icon of Hatred, to see how images have been used to incite the death cult. Kucinich and Abourezk are fools who play into this mindset by giving more video for our enemies to use to stoke the fires of hatred against the United States. That makes them not just fools, but dangerous ones at that.
