The interview between a Fox News interviewer and the LebaneseAmbassador
to the U.S., Mr. Farid Abboud.
Fox Interviewer: Mr. Ambassador, do you consider Hizbollah a terrorist
organization?Abboud: Yes, Sharon is a terrorist!
Fox: Mr. Ambassador, this was not my question. I asked you about the
operations of Hizbollah in the targeting and killing of innocent
civilians. How do youview Hizbollah?
Abboud: Yes, Sharon the terrorist has killed thousands upon thousandsof
civilians. He is the biggest terrorist out there!
Fox: Mr. Ambassador. Please answer my question. Do you considerHizbollah
a terrorist organization or not??? Are you against the killing of
innocent civilians?!
Abboud: Of course I am against the killing of innocent civilians. You
have to define who the innocent civilians are. Sharon, the terrorist
has killed many thousands
upon thousands of innocent civilians and he is continuing to do so!
Fox: But what about Hizbollah ? Are you telling us that Hizbollahnever
killed any civilians or plotted to kill any innocent civilians?
Abboud: Hizbollah is a resistance movement. They have a place in the
Lebanese parliament and they are fighting for justice and for a good
cause. If there were
innocent civilians hurt in the process, they are a casualty of war.
Hizbollah does not target
civilians on purpose, unlike the war monger, Sharon, whose only
targets have been civilians, includingchildren!!!
Fox: Mr. Ambassador, does this mean you condone the suicide bombers?!
Abboud: I do not condone the actions of the war criminal Sharon!!!
Fox interviewer (with apparent frustration): Mr. Ambassador, pleasestop
evading my questions and answer them directly! Do you condone the
suicide bombers?!
Abboud: I do not condone the killing of innocent civilians, but wehave
to define who is an innocent civilian and who is not!!! If a
Palestinian suicide bomber
kills a bunch of Israeli soldiers who are committing atrocities
against the defenseless Palestinian
population, do you consider these soldiers as innocent civilians???
Fox interviewer (sighing): Mr. Abboud, do you recognize Israel'sright to exist?
Abboud: Yes, I recognize PALESTINE'S right to exist!!!
Fox interviewer (no words to describe his face): Mr. Ambassador.Please
stop this aversion in answering and answer our specific questions! Do
you recognize Israel'sright to exist or not?!
Abboud: Israel already exists sir. It does not need my recognition.It is
the recognition of Palestine to exist that should be addressed!!!
Fox: Mr. Ambassador, why are you so one sided and biased in answeringour
questions ???Abboud: Sir, it is you who is very one-sided and biased in your
questioning!!!Fox interviewer (totally at a loss of words): Mr. Abboud, Lebanese
Ambassador to the United States, thank you sir for your time and the
interview !!!
