Paintballing with Hezbollah ''Saudis are the worst people alive''

[Surenas]

We figured they’d cheat; they were Hezbollah, after all. But none of us—a team of four Western journalists—thought we’d be dodging military-grade flash bangs when we initiated this “friendly” paintball match.

The battle takes place underground in a grungy, bunker-like basement underneath a Beirut strip mall. When the grenades go off it’s like being caught out in a ferocious thunderstorm: blinding flashes of hot white light, blasts of sound that reverberate deep inside my ears.

As my eyesight returns and readjusts to the dim arena light, I poke out from my position behind a low cinder-block wall. Two large men in green jumpsuits are bearing down on me. I have them right in my sights, but they seem unfazed—even as I open fire from close range, peppering each with several clear, obvious hits. I expect them to freeze, maybe even acknowledge that this softie American journalist handily overcame their flash-bang trickery and knocked them out of the game. Perhaps they’ll even smile and pat me on the back as they walk off the playing field in a display of good sportsmanship (after cheating, of course).

Instead, they shoot me three times, point-blank, right in the groin.

From this distance (well within the 15-foot “safety zone&#8221, paintballs feel like bee stings. I raise my hands in pain and confusion, signaling to the referee that I’m leaving the game. But the bigger one—a tall, muscular farm boy from the deep south of Lebanon who tonight is going by the name Khodor—isn’t finished with me yet: He wraps his giant hands around my body and tries to throw me over his shoulder with the kind of deftness that only comes from practice. I’m quick enough to break free and flee, but my teammate Ben isn’t so lucky. Khodor and his partner move past me in perfect military formation, plunging deeper into our defenses. Soon they apprehend Ben, pushing him ahead of them, human shield-style.

They speak on Israelis and Saudis:

“They are well trained and tough,” he says. “They fight hard and defend their land and people. I respect them as enemies. They work with their hands, they fight for themselves, and they take care of their own people, so they’re much better than the Saudis.” He goes on: “Saudis are the worst people alive. They claim to be the most religious Muslims and were given the greatest gift of any nation by God himself. Do they protect Muslims with this money? Do they feed the poor? Build a culture? No, they spend it all on cars and whoress. I hate them.”

“If the war is fought 500 meters that way, the resistance could never win,” he says. “We couldn’t beat the Israelis there, not on their land, by their homes.” I’ve never heard an Islamic militant ever admit that Israel is Israeli land. He continues by pointing out that in 1982, 50,000 trained and well-equipped Palestinian troops couldn’t keep the Israelis out of Beirut for a week. But by his count, less than 1,000 Hezbollah fighters did the job alone for 34 days in 2006. “Palestinians can’t fight because they have no homes to defend. There would already be a Palestine if it weren’t for the Palestinians.”

The Spirit of Khouemni is strong in this one...

Of course they will think that they are Iranian Lap dogs of the highest order and this is exactly why we don't like Iran.

But not to worry once Assad is out they will die out with him.

How did they find this out?? Do you have a single idea how many development projects are on going at once in KSA??

Ohh and the recent shortages of Urea in Pakistan have been compensated by Saudi Development Fund..do you even know who are they and what do they do?? Saudi Arabia is the largest donor to human causes in the world, regardless of cast, creed and religion. Saudi donations have consistently been head of Americans to the first place for last 20 years, it is simply the biggest donor nation of the world.

These guys are being filed from both ends by Iranian propaganda. So it is no surprise there. Once we take out Assad we will take care of them swiftly.

well I have been taught when Arab armies went against Israel the Arab capitals were on the brink of falling to Israel army in 6 day (or perhaps less) but when Israel went against Hezbollah after 30 day not only they ran out of ammo so USA had to ship them new bombs and ammo by airplane ,they even could not advance 20km inside Lebanon while Hezbollah at most were 1/15th of Israel forces and they managed to do something no arab country could do they made Israel order all its ships to distance from Lebanon land for at least 100km.

Ammmmmmmm... intresting... then, I wonder why one of the 22 Arab countries which is Iraq defeated Iran in Gulf war 1?

Casualties and losses:
Iran:
Dead:730,000
Wounded:1,200,000
Refugees:2,000,000
Prisoners:45,000


Iraq:
Dead:340,000
Wounded:700,000
Refugees:400,000
Prisoners:70,000

Look at yourselves, Iraq is much smaller than Iran with much less population and did defeated Iran ALONE. LONG LIVE IRAQ,
