I want to know the name of the program (both in Arabic and English translation) and the show time.

Many thanks.

much of the interesting stuff is missing - but his version to the 1979 events is there.

For me, what was most interesting was his ideological stand - not on the question of Israel/PAlestine but on Arab politics. He makes it clear there: he is a secular person, with Marxist education. He does not pray, despite his fellow prisoners repeated attempts to get him to. He believes that Lebanese should leave behind the politics based on ethnic/religious divisions and form a real democracy, on nationalist/secular lines, and indeed this is what he wants to see the Arab world doing. He says that he wants the Lebanese government - not a certain ethnic group - to lead a non-violent struggle to his release.

And then you have his speech from yesterday, with clear Islamic tones, and his Hizbullah uniform. I wonder if he wrote the speech himself; the whole event was staged by Hizbulla to deliver an effect. I am sure he is grateful to Hizbulla. But what he had to say is far from how he articulated himself in that interview.

but Kuntar? How could anyone celebrate this guy? How is that ‘resistance’? Attacking occupation forces is one thing but a four year old girl in her home? what a man! What a show of strength! those who celebrate him should be very proud.
