Hezbollah Scouts: with chilling photos


Hezbollah Marshals the Young via Scout Troops -Robert F. Worth

This is the vanguard of Hezbollah’s youth movement, the Mahdi Scouts.

Some of the graduates gathered at this ceremony will go on to join Hezbollah’s guerrilla army, fighting Israel in the hills of southern Lebanon. Others will work in the party’s bureaucracy. The rest will probably join the fast-growing and passionately loyal base of support that has made Hezbollah the most powerful political, military and social force in Lebanon.

When this is how they bring up their youth, it is clear they are not seeking a better way for the future, or for their people. They may claim this is just about security, but there are none who have higher security needs than Israel, and Israel manages to let their children grow up as children, and then develop into doctors, and scientists and states-people, even though they all have to manage to serve in the military as well.
