The AngryArab says the CounterPunch interview with Nasrallah, which they may have gotten from the MarxMail list, is fake.
This “interview” with Nasrallah that is posted on Counterpunch is fake. I declare it to be a hoax, OK? I mean, it is so obvious. The guy does not sound like Nasrallah from the first sentence. Wait. It is possible that this is Hasan Dib Nasrallah, the Lebanese grocer kidnapped by Israel in a “daring commando raid?”
From the comments to the post:
The interview text comes across more like a rant from the local communist bookstore owner in a Northern California town than statements from a Shi’ite Lebanese guerrilla leader and Islamic fundamentalist.
His statements did not make reference to “God willing” or the Islamic faith in general, I think, once. His statements were all secular and devoid of religious invocations, which, I suspect, would be very unusual for him.
Lastly, the text of his supposed statements also makes reference to “Israel”, not “Occupied Palestine” or similar.
I’m scarcely in a position to judge, but the lack of “God willing” does seem odd.
