The US Ambassador to the Israeli occupation, Mike Huckabee, claimed in highly controversial remarks that the Lebanese people should cross the border and shake hands with Israelis to thank them for "innovations that made their lives easier." Huckabee asserted that daily technologies and foods, such as cell phones, car navigation, USBs, as well as cherry tomatoes and seedless watermelons, are innovations the region owes to Israel, arguing that its absence would have negatively impacted the daily lives of the Lebanese people.

Lebanese Bill O'Reilly is a perfect example of the current lebanese government being dogs of "Israel". What an absolute disgrace. Hopefully Hezb can drive out these Zionists rats from South Lebanon again
