"IT SEEMS that Nasrallah survived," Israeli newspapers announced,after 23 tons of bombs were dropped on a site in Beirut, where the Hizbullahleader was supposedly hiding in a bunker.
An interesting formulation. A few hours after the bombing, Nazrallah had givenan interview to Aljazeera television. Not only did he look alive, but evencomposed and confident. He spoke about the bombardment - proof that theinterview was recorded on the same day.
So what does "it seems that" mean? Very simple: Nasrallah pretends tobe alive, but you can't believe an Arab. Everyone knows that Arabs always lie.That's in their very nature, as Ehud Barak once pronounced.
