Lebanon’s security chief praises jihad terror during a diplomatic counter-terrorism conference
The question discussed in the article below, “Why did Lebanon’s security chief praise terrorism during a counter-terrorism speech?,” should be the question routinely asked by anyone who supports the so-called “Palestinian resistance.” The entire “resistance” is a jihad operation that fools people into believing that Israel is at fault for merely trying to exist, for daring to establish a Jewish state following the Holocaust, during which Arab Nationalism combined with Nazism in a failed attempt to destroy the Jewish people.
Lebanon’s General Security director praised terrorism during a conference that was supposed to discuss the defeat of terrorism in the Middle East and Africa. Speaking to representatives from a dozen African countries Maj.-Gen. Abbas Ibrahim reportedly praised Hezbollah’s “resistance” and distinguished its terrorism from other forms of terror.
Iran, Hizballah, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, and Fatah all aim to obliterate Israel. Add on the historic efforts by the Muslim countries neighboring Israel to destroy it.
For too long, the Palestinian “resistance” has been portrayed as an honest “resistance” against oppression, “racism” and “apartheid” by the Israelis, when it is really no more than jihad terror against the Jewish people. Major General Ibrahim justified his praise of jihad terror during the conference that included diplomats from Tunisia, Oman, Egypt and Russia by saying that he supported “terrorism that terrorizes your enemy, and this is not only your right but your duty.”

Ibrahim runs Lebanon’s General Security directorate, which makes him the “eyes and ears” of Lebanon according to and gives his agency power over a variety of local and foreign threats to Lebanon.He has praised Hezbollah’s “resistance” in the past and was appointed in 2011 with influence by Amal, a Shi’ite party. At the conference, according to multiple reports at Lebanese websites Aliwaa.com and Aljoumhouria, he distinguished between two types of terrorism.“Terrorism that terrorizes your enemy, and this is not only your right but your duty,” Ibrahim said. “Then there is [the second kind of] terrorism that intimidates innocent people. The second kind he said was the “lowest level of moral decline and ideological decline.”He said that Lebanon supports the “resistance,” which is a reference to Hezbollah and that “we are with our resistance and terrorism.” He claimed that even if others call that terrorism it was a source of pride….
