Is Hassan Nasrallah a Mossad Agent?

Sometime in the early 1980s, a large group of Palestinian school girls in the West Bank, who wanted to avoid exams, claimed that they had been "poisoned" by Israeli authorities. The girls said that Israel had put poison in the tanks that supply drinking water to their school. One after the other, the teenage girls started "fainting" in the school yard, especially as photographers and TV crews showed up.

The girls were all released from the hospital after medical tests refuted their claim. But at the end of the day the girls and their families had good reason to be happy. The exams were postponed indefinitely and Israeli "occupation" was once again blamed for perpetrating a "new crime" against Palestinians.

Last week, we heard Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah accuse Israel of standing behind the assassination five years ago of Lebanon's Prime Minister, Rafik Hariri.

Nasrallah has even expressed his willingness to hand over the evidence he has against Israel to the Lebanese authorities, and the international court that was formed to investigate the assassination of Hariri. So far, however, the only proof he has in his hands are pictures of Israeli reconnaissance planes hovering over Beirut and other parts of Lebanon many years before the assassination.

Nasrallah, who has been in hiding since he instigated the 2006 war that wrought massive destruction and disaster on his fellow citizens, is doing exactly what the school girls in the West Bank: When you experience stress, and you wish to avoid a hard test, you rush to blame Israel and Jews for the miseries of your people.

By accusing Israel of poisoning their drinking water, the school girls managed to force their teachers to call off the exams. The hoax was uncovered only when someone noticed that none of the teachers working in the same school had fallen ill after drinking from the same water tanks.

Nasrallah is under pressure because the international court, according to confirmed reports, is about to hold his fundamentalist organization responsible for the Hariri assassination. These reports have prompted Nasrallah to shoot in all directions to distract attention from the court's expected ruling.
