- When someone with George Kurdahi's, an influential TV presenter, weight
and stature openly states that it is up to the Arab countries to decide
whether they want to make peace with Israel, this sends a message to
millions of Arabs that the idea of establishing relations with Israel may
not be a bad one after all.
- This,
needless to say, is a refreshing change, especially because it is coming
from a country such as Lebanon, which is effectively ruled by Hezbollah
and the mullahs in Iran.
- "If
the weapons [of Hezbollah] undermine the State of Lebanon and are an
obstacle to the return of many Arabs to Lebanon, then there needs to be
re-examination of the situation. Hezbollah must reconsider its positions
so that we can ensure a prosperous future for Lebanon." — George
Kurdahi, one of the Arab world's most influential TV presenters, YouTube,
December 26, 2020, Lebanon.
- Kurdahi
may have "shocked" his audience by speaking out in favor of
peace with Israel and by criticizing the Palestinians and Hezbollah. His
words, however, hardly surprised those who read and listen to what many
Arabs in the Gulf have been saying about the Palestinians and Hezbollah,
as well as peace with Israel.
- These
Arabs also have a clear and powerful opinion of Hezbollah: a manipulative
and murderous terrorist group that serves as proxy for the mullahs in Iran
and poses a real threat not only to Israel, but to Lebanon and other Arab
countries as well.
