Our heroes today are those two young Americans who wavered the Hezbullah flag at the AIPAC conference. We salute their courage in presenting to the world the message that there are Americans who opposed the pro-Zionist policies of the US government. Please Read: While a group of protesters were waving Palestinian Authority flags and holding placards condemning Israel, as at some other public Jewish and Israeli events, AIPAC delegates said they were horrified to see the Hezbollah flag, which is a rare sight. The two young men carrying the flags were not Lebanese, but American, and while they declined to be interviewed, one made a comment when asked why he chose to recreate, apparently with magic marker on yellow cloth, the Hezbollah flag. “Well you know, it’s the only real answer that Israel understands,” the Hezbollah flag waiver said. When an AIPAC delegate, who declined to be named for publication, asked the flag waver his reasoning behind his statement, he was told: “Israel invaded Lebanon, so Hezbollah is the Resistance.” A county sheriff standing by said that the flag wasn’t illegal, but he recognized that it was rare to see the Hezbollah colors outside an Israel related event. Indeed, Jason Epstein, from Southfive Strategies, a public policy consultancy,said he’s been attending the AIPAC annual event since the early 1990s, and this was the very first time he saw a Hezbollah flag at the convention. algemeiner/2014/03/02/attendees-horrified-to-see-hezbollah-flags-waved-outside-aipac-policy-conference-video/
