Hizballah Hate With a U.S. Link
(Los Angeles Times) Avi Jorisch - Why are local Lebanese subsidiaries of major American corporations - like PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, and Western Union - lending comfort and support to terrorists by advertising on the Hizballah television station Al Manar? Al Manar's programming glorifies suicide bombers, exhorts Palestinians to kill Jews, and revels in the carnage of terrorist attacks on civilians. Al Manar almost always has immediate footage of terrorist outrages or Hizballah attacks across the Israel-Lebanon border. The millions of Americans who hold stock in these companies would be outraged to know that these all-American brands are used to help celebrate murder, terrorism, anti-Semitism, and coarse hatred of American values.
