Lebanese Journalist: Hizbullah "New Sharons" – But Worse

Senior correspondent for the Lebanese daily Al-Mustaqbal Paul Shaul has called Hizbullah "new Sharons."

However, he pointed out, when Ariel Sharon took Beirut and carried out the Sabra and Shatilla massacre, he was more merciful than Hizbullah. Shaul said that Sharon did not close down newspapers and didn't burn down media buildings like Hizbullah did.

Shaul added that the Zionist enemy also did not celebrate the invasion of Beirut like Hizbullah did.
