Lebanon - Lebanese militant group
Hezbollah has built a multi-million pound theme park designed to indoctrinate
its children about the glory of martyrdom against its enemy Israel. The
mostly-outdoor museum features barbed wire, tanks, rockets, archive video
footage and a lot of guns. Visitors are able to walk around replica war scenes
that feature destroyed Israeli tanks - including one symbolically rendered
impotent by a twisted firing barrel - and grave stones lying on their side. The
video segment of the tour allows visitors to watch a history of Hezbollah that
clearly sets out the organisation's grievances with Israel and celebrates its
victories against it. The theme park was constructed atop one of their
strongholds in the town of Mleeta.
It was designed to attract a wide range
of visitors, including children and western tourists.Read the full story here.
