Hezbollah Criticizes the US

link

The leader of the Hezbollah recently criticized Obama because the US president did not display much support for the Arab and Islamic world. Well, I don't see many changes. Recently, there was a ship caught transfering weaponry for Hezbollah. That doesn't sounds like peace efforts between Israel and the Arab world. That sounds like hostility to me.


I dug out this article [here] and found it very interesting. It shows the reactions to Obama's speech in Cairo . What interested me the most was that "Sheikh Abdulahi Shekh Abu Yusuf, Moderate Somali Islamist Group Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca," the "Spokesman For Iraqi Government," "Spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas" and "Amr Moussa, Head of the Arab League" all produced optimistic--if not approving--comments about Obama's take on the matter between America and the Muslim world. The thing that was interesting was that all of those people named above seemed to approve Obama's speech and all are part of the Arab World. Other members of the Arab world, including "Ayman Taha, A Hamas Spokesman in the Gaza Strip," "Hassan Fadlallah, Lawmaker for Lebanon's Hezbollah," and surprisinglyyyyyy, "Commentary on (US Broadcaster) FOX News." Okay now, aside from Fox News, the other people mentioned were also a part of Arab world, yet they showed significantly different views than their arab partners. That was June of 2009. What about now? People from the Arab world don't seem very satisfied.
