A billboard has suddenly appeared in Windsor, Ontario, openly supporting the genocidal radical Islamic terrorist group Hizballah, including a statement in English about “peace” and a statement in Arabic about “fighting.”
Members of the Jewish and Lebanese Christian communities in Windsor are outraged by the appearance of a billboard that appears to promote Hezbollah — an organization the Canadian government considers terrorist.
“That organization is banned in Canada,” said Harvey Kessler, executive director of the Windsor Jewish Community Centre. “How can that billboard be up in Windsor when it represents a terrorist organization which is banned under the laws of Canada?”
But Nabbout said that Arabic writing which appears on the right side of the billboard does not match the English translation. According to Nabbout, the Arabic writing makes a reference to fighting.
“What they mean by ‘fight’ is basically ‘guerrilla’ — using arms and weapons,” Nabbout said. “Basically, there is a very specific word... That is a definite difference between the Arabic and the English.”
Terror Supporters Defend Pro-Hizballah Sign

“Brazen” doesn’t even begin to describe the attitude of the Hizballah supporters in Windsor, Ontario: Backers defend controversial sign.
The people responsible for a controversial billboard depicting Hezbollah’s leader said they did it to honour their freedom fighting families back home — and it’s their Canadian right to do so.
“In Canada we want peace,” said Hussein Dabaja, a Lebanese-born Hezbollah supporter. “We’re not trying offend anybody. We have freedom of speech. It’s a free country. We can do anything. Every Lebanese in Canada has somebody that died in Lebanon, the freedom fighters. Who is Hezbollah? Our brothers, our family, our parents, our friends. We came to Canada and they stayed there to fight.”
