Does This Make The Nostromo The Middle East?

ripleyAs if the bombing of Lebanon couldn’t get any worse, in a conversation with CTV Ottawa’s Dan Matheson Israel’s opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu has compared the situation to the film Alien.

Netanyahu - Have you ever seen the movie Alien. Dan? Did you ever see it?

Matheson - Um…Yes.

Netanyahu - Do you remember this movie? Well, this movie had these alien, ferocious bodies that implant themselves in a host, and then lurch out, burst through the chest and attack the person next to the host. And in fact that’s exactly and in so doing also kill the host. Hezzbolah is the alien body, Lebanon is the host, we’re the person attacked. And the mother alien, if you will, the mother producing all these eggs is Iran, with its way station in Syria. That’s exactly what we have here. So if any of us are going to have a future, a future of peace, a future of good neighbours, a future of tranquility, than this alien host, alien ideology, implanted into Lebanon and supported by alien regimes, that’s got to go. It just has to go.

I’ve got nothin’.
