Those groups have been engaged in a long-running low-grade war with Israeli occupation troops in southern Lebanon and have attacked Israel from wadis in the area. Israeli-government spokesmen claimed that their forces were counterattacking them with great precision, targeting guerrilla bases and homes, offices and training centers.

Some black spokesmen have even chided him for delivering the same speech to black audiences that he gives to white audiences. Maybe they're missing the point. It means he's giving the same talk to white audiences that he gives to black ones. No coded messages. No tailored racial appeals, and no playing off of interests...
