I happened to hear Loose Ends, (radio 4) which featured some amusing anecdotes by Dom Joly. He’s part Lebanese. I found the way the participants were joking affectionately and light-heartedly about Hezbollah and the ‘Hezbollah theme park’ grossly offensive.
I first saw and heard of this weird tourist attraction on the show 'Journey through the Med' starring Simon Reeve.
Hezbollah is no laughing matter though. They are an Iran-backed terrorist organisation based in Lebanon, and they have infiltrated and overwhelmed the Lebanese government.
Not only has Hezbollah placed about 160,000 rockets in Lebanon pointing towards Israel, ready to strike at the behest of the Ayatollahs, but in September 2015 a plot by Hezbollah-linked operatives to store explosive materials in London was foiled by the security services.
There was nothing small-scale about this endeavour. At the time, for some reason, we were not told about this.
We can be sure that, without the bravery and expertise of our security services, many innocent lives would have been lost. Hezbollah’s desire to murder Jews, both in Israel and around the world, seems only to be limited by their capacity to kill.
Meanwhile, the BBC maintains its policy of strict impartiality, at least where the enemies of Israel are concerned, so we can all continue to find Hezbollah and its war museum as amusing as the BBC appears to.
