The Interrogation of Hasan Dib Nasrallah in Israel. As you know, an elite Israeli force successfully kidnapped Hasan Dib Nasrallah (not to be confused with Hasan Nasrallah, the leader of Hizbullah) along with his kid, relatives and a neighbor. I was able to receive a transcript of his interrogation in Israel where he remains in custody in a top secret location:
Israeli interrogator: What is your name?
Hasan Dib Nasrallah: Hasan Dib Nasrallah.
Israeli Interrogator: Occupation?
Hasan Dib Nasrallah: Brick layer, and I do some construction work too.
Israeli interrogator: Don't be a smart ass. You also are a leader of Hizbullah. You have a secret identity like Clark Kent. Brick layer by day and Hizbullah leader by night, right?
Hasan Dib Nasrallah: No, I only am a brick layer.
Israeli Interrogator: but what is your name?
Hasan Dib Nasrallah: Hasan Dib Nasrallah.
Israeli interrogator: Don't be a smart ass. How many Hasan Nasrallahs are there?
Hasan Dib Nasrallah: probably 10,000 in Lebanon, not counting Hasan Nasrallahs in Arab countries.
Israeli interrogator: But our Orientalist experts assured us that there is only one Hasan Nasrallah. Are you telling me now that there is also more than one person with the name Usamah in the Arab world?
Hasan Dib Nasrallah: Yes.
Israeli interrogator: But you know the Hasan Nasrallah of Hizbullah, no?
Hasan Dib Nasrallah: Well, no. But I have seen him on TV.
Israeli interrogator: there. We got you.
