Hezbollah likened to movie Alien
ISRAEL'S Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu today compared the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon to the Hollywood movie Alien.The 1979 science-fiction thriller starring Sigourney Weaver depicted "alien ferocious bodies that plant themselves in a host and lurch out, burst through the chest, and attack the person next to the host and in doing so, kills the host", Mr Netanyahu told Canadian broadcaster CTV from Tel Aviv. "Hezbollah is the alien body and Lebanon is the host," he said. "And the mother alien, if you will, producing these poisoned eggs, is Iran, with its way station to Syria." Israel would be the bystander struck by the alien monster, he implied. "If we're going to have a future of peace and good neighbours, a future of tranquility, then this alien ... it's got to go," he said. Posted by: tipper 2006-07-27 |
