Le chef du Hezbollah libanais Hassan Nasrallah a été réélu secrétaire général du mouvement chiite soutenu par l’Iran, à l’issue d’un congrès annuel qui a adopté un nouveau “document” politique, le deuxième depuis la fondation du parti en 1985.

Le chef du Hezbollah, qui en est à la tête depuis 1992, tiendra une conférence de presse dans les prochains jours pour expliquer la teneur du document, a indiqué un communiqué du parti.

“Le Hezbollah a également adopté des modifications qui s’accordent avec la nature du changement au sein (du parti) et de son parcours au cours des dernières années”, lit-on dans le communiqué, sans plus de précisions.

Le parti a précisé qu’il “avait clôturé son congrès annuel qui durait depuis des mois”.

S’il est coutumier des longs discours, Hassan Nasrallah, 49 ans, tient rarement des conférences de presse.

En 1985, la fondation officielle du Hezbollah et de son aile armée, “la Résistance islamique” fut annoncée dans une “Lettre ouverte aux opprimés du Liban et du monde entier”.

Cette “lettre ouverte”, considérée comme le document stratégique du Hezbollah, prônait la création d’un État islamique au Liban.

Mais au fil des ans, et à mesure que le parti s’imposait comme une force politique incontournable, ses dirigeants ont modéré leur rhétorique islamique, indiquant que ce scénario n’est possible qu’à travers la volonté populaire.

Le Hezbollah reste toutefois attaché au principe du “Wilayat al-Faqih”, c’est-à-dire le système clérical appliqué en Iran.

Sa naissance remonte toutefois à 1982, lorsque à l’initiative des Pasdaran, les Gardiens de la Révolution iraniens, un noyau de militants prennent les armes dans la foulée de l’invasion israélienne du Liban.

Soutenu par Téhéran et Damas, le Hezbollah, qui a combattu les troupes israéliennes jusqu’à leur retrait du sud du Liban en 2000 après 22 ans d’occupation, refuse de désarmer, affirmant vouloir imposer “un équilibre des forces” avec Israël.

Son arsenal, évalué à des dizaines de milliers de roquettes par Israël, est la pomme de discorde entre la majorité parlementaire soutenue par l’Occident et la minorité dont il fait partie.

Les Etats-Unis le classent parmi les organisations terroristes.

Représenté au Parlement depuis 1992, il a deux ministre au sein du gouvernement actuel d’union nationale.

Les médias israéliens se sont attardés au dernier discours du secrétaire général du Hezbollah Sayed Hassan Nasrallah prononcé à l’occasion du jour du martyr, contrairement aux discours précédents, dont la diffusion était interdite, à cause de la censure imposée par les autorités de l’occupation depuis la guerre de juillet 2006.

La couverture médiatique israélienne a mis l’accent sur les menaces de Sayed Nasrallah de commencer par bombarder les villes situées au-delà de Haïfa dans la prochaine guerre, et du sort qui attend les légions militaires israéliennes qui tenteraient d’envahir la terre libanaise.

Selon l’analyste politique Oded Granot, “Nasrallah a confirmé les propos d’Ashkenazi sur la quantité de missiles chez le Hezbollah”, mettant ainsi les positions d’Ashkenazi dans le cadre de calmer ceux qui cherchent à déclencher une guerre contre le Liban, en leur disant qu’il ne faut pas s’impliquer avec le Hezbollah”.

Alone ben David, autre analyste politique, est allé dans le même sens:” Lorsque nous évaluons la force croissante du Hezbollah depuis la deuxième guerre, nous nous rendons compte que ce qui a été découvert à bord du navire Francop n’est qu’une goutte dans la mer de l’arsenal militaire du Hezbollah qui comprend des dizaines de milliers de missiles de courte portée, des milliers de missiles de portée moyenne, en plus de missiles de longue portée qui atteignent Tel Aviv et Dimona, et dont un missile peut à lui seul détruire un ensemble de bâtiments”.

Sur un autre plan, le quotidien Yediot Ahranot a révélé un document qui prouve à quel point le Hezbollah a réussi à s’infiltrer dans l’armée israélienne, ajoutant que le parti libanais possède des sources d’informations très importantes.

Un officier au commandement du nord dans l’armée de l’occupation s’est dit foudroyé à la lecture du document, qui assure que le Hezbollah connait profondément les systèmes de détection israéliens, surtout ceux des avions sans pilote que les Israéliens croyaient qu’ils opèrent en secret.

Le Yediot évoque également la détention par le Hezbollah d’informations sur la technologie israélienne utilisée à la frontière avec le Liban et sur les tactiques de l’armée.

Par ailleurs, la présentatrice de la dixième chaine israélienne a estimé que les renseignements du Hezbollah ont réalisé un bond, ajoutant que le Hezbollah connait comment l’armée opère les avions de reconnaissance, comment elle effectue ses patrouilles et comment elle entraine les chiens renifleurs”, alors que le présentateur de la même chaine a qualifié de “très horrifiantes” les informations précises et détaillées détenues par le Hezbollah.

Le Yediot Ahranot a prétexté que le Hezbollah espionnait le réseau des communications de l’armée israélienne, même les appels codés, concluant qu’il est difficile de ne pas croire que les agents du Hezbollah n’ont pas copié des documents secrets appartenant au commandement de la région du nord.

Beirut– Secretary-General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah called Wednesday for generalizing what came in the speech of President Bashar al-Assad at the economic summit of the Organization of Islamic Conference in Turkey on adopting resistance as the only choice after the fall of the settlement on the Arab and international levels.

He expressed appreciation of the speech and Syria’s stances towards the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine.

On the occasion of the Martyr Day, Nasrallah quoted President al-Assad as saying, “our support to resistance is a duty we fulfill, and we are proud when we support resistance because we fulfill our duty”.

He also said that Lebanese resistance is proud of Syria’s and Iran’s friendship and the friendship of any other country, government, movement or party that stands by the rights of our peoples and resistance.

As for forming the Lebanese national unity government, Nasrallah said, “our obsession was to form the government because we are with the interest of the country”, calling the government to be a government of cooperation and harmony.

Nasrallah clarified that the success of the government in its current formation serves the interest of Lebanon and the resistance, pointing out that opposition will not save efforts to make the government succeed.

JERUSALEM – A fish invading the shores of Israel has been nicknamed after Hezbollah’s leader!

The fish was unknown to Israeli scientists until 2001, when they began to arrive in droves through the Suez Canal from the Red Sea. Now the country’s coasts are overrun!

“They’ve had a population explosion,” said Dani Golani of Hebrew University. “They are producing more offspring than the environment can handle.”

Israelis soon found a suitable name for the problematic species. “They are so dangerous, one sting can kill a person or leave them paralyzed for weeks,” said Moti Mendelson, a marine researcher. “There are many of them – like Hezbollah soldiers.”

Hezbollah are the Shi’a militia in Lebanon, who first emerged in 1982 during the Israeli invasion. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah responded to the fish’s naming, stating:

“Israeli researchers surprisingly call this fish handsome and cute, apparently they think it about me. But if I have poison – I am ready to sting. We are all ready to sting the occupying enemy who occupies our land and take our saints.”

Unfortunately for Lebanese citizens, the fish are likely to be moving into their waters as well. What will it be called then?

I promised Black Flag that I would make this the topic for this evening. And it is about time that I addressed it. We have watched Iran for years and seen their rhetoric, their realities, their revolution. The western media has, no doubt, contributed to the negative image that Iran has in so many minds. I will have plenty to say here on the subject of Iran. I have studied that country for most of my adult life. I have been there. I know the people, the structure of their government, and their position relative to the United States. I find it a fascinating country. I also find them a scary country, and for some very good reasons. We are now in the midst of a Presidency that is interested in discussing things with them on a diplomatic level, and I have no issue with that. However, Obama should be aware that he cannot rely on those diplomatic measures to sway the opinion of a government that is quite radical at its heart. So tonight I open the discussion on Iran. The one request that I have for everyone is to please refrain from ranting against them merely because they are a muslim country. The fact that they are muslim has relevance. Treating being muslim as a general slur does not.

Black Flag has often used the statement that Iran is a country with no desire to act with force against other countries. His logic is that they have not done so in an act of aggression in over 300 years. This is an illogical conclusion. And BF should know better. The relevant history, first of all, begins in 1979, at the time of the revolution. Prior to that, the current government was not in place. And we are now dealing with the current government, not any of the others for the 260 years prior to that.

The revolution in Iran is often thought of as being merely religious in cause, but that is not entirely the case. Religion was the catalyst for the revolution, but it was not the cause. The cause was the fact that the Shah of Iran was very western supported and very western in his ideals. This is something that is not accepted in the fundamentalist wing of Islam. It was not a sentiment unique to Iran. Many don’t know the true history of Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda actually got its beginnings in Saudi Arabia and grew out of a belief that the Western world was polluting the muslim populations, and was therefore a true threat to Islam itself. The US supported Mujahideen went to Afghanistan to fight the soviets, and later many of them became the base of the Al Qaeda movement, including Bin Laden. Fundamentalist muslims see western society as a direct threat to the muslim religion. And that is an important thing to remember when discussing Islam, and is therefore a very pertinent fact in discussing Iran.

Making this worse were the common intrusions of the United States into the business of Iran. Iran was seen as a strategic ally, They were one of the most powerful countries in the Middle East, and that meant oil. Additionally, they held a long border with our most hated rival, the USSR. Western powers on many occasions meddled in Iranian politics, including the support of a military coup. The Shah of Iran prior to the revolution was heavily supported by the US, and was brutal and bad to the people of Iran. The Shi’a muslims were treated especially bad.

This is how the Iranian Government handles homosexuality

So it is completely understandable why the Iranian government might be untrusting and resentful towards the government of the United States.

Now the reality of today. The Iranian government is particularly brutal towards some of its citizens. There is no denying this fact. Citizens are controlled by the theocracy in ways that most Americans cannot imagine. The recent crackdown on the protesters of the Iranian election were a window into how the government there deals with its citizens. To claim that they are not capable of taking that violence outside of their borders is simply unrealistic. A government willing to kill its own citizens is certainly willing to kill those outside of its citizenry. They are a violent and brutal government when they feel the need to be. They have a large, although aging and broken, military. They have Soviet era equipment. They did not build the army they did merely for defense. Much of their equipment is offensive in nature, and they are willing to use it if there is a fight that they feel they can win.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian president Ahmadinejad

And to claim that they don’t operate outside of their borders is ignoring the fact. They support, finance, and arm other factions in other countries that are essentially terrorist organizations masquerading as political entities. Lebanon’s Hezbollah is one of the more prominent examples, and Hezbollah has been both a victim and an antagonist in relation to Israel. Iran has also offered support for non-muslim causes such as the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, IRA in Ireland, and anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa. In the War in Iraq, many insurgents have been found to be Iranian or using Iranian provided weaponry. The US listed Iran as one of the foremost supporters of terrorism in the world. While I am always skeptical of simply believing the US government, I do believe they are a major player in that realm, if not the most active.

Take away the headscarf and it doesn't look so different than the US

There is an unseen side of the Iranian people as well. As someone who has spent time around them, it MUST be pointed out that the revolutionary members of Iranian society are a vast minority in that country. While the government is somewhat radical and often violent, the people of Iran are not. Much like the US, the actions internationally of Iran are not an accurate representation of the people of the country. They are far more manipulated by the state owned and run media there than most imagine. I always feel the need to point out that mothers in Iran want the same things for their children that mothers in the USA want. They are regular people with a different religious belief. Nothing more and nothing less. No one on this blog would wish to be judged on the actions of our federal government. I urge you to extend the same courtesy to the people of Iran. Some of the kindest, gentlest, most intelligent, and most moral people I know are Iranian born and bred, and live there today. The country has some of the same political discourse that we have here. They are not a backwards country. They are not the third world. Iran is a nation of wonderful people and that is why I will never support the idea of wiping that country out completely.

Despite the claims otherwise, Iran does not like Israel one bit. They do not feel that they are a legitimate entity. They do not support Israel’s right to exist. And the President of Iran is a member of a faction that believes that Israel must be destroyed. BF loves to point out the fact that he semantically has said this or not said that and it is, therefore, a fallacy that Iran wishes to see the destruction of Israel. Having spent enough time studying and being in Iran, the government is very clear that Israel will eventually be destroyed. That isn’t not a made up fact. It is a reality that must be weighed in order to properly discuss how to deal with Iran.

Which brings us to the discussion at hand, and that is the nuclear debates around the country. First and foremost, do not believe for one fraction of one second that Iran only wants to develop nuclear power and has no non-peaceful purpose for doing so. They are surrounded by nuclear powers and they see the benefit of having the bomb. Pakistan, India, Israel, the US, Russia, and China are all far more powerful on the world stage right now, and that is in part due to having nuclear capability. Iran wants that power and that respect. They are developing nuclear weapons. To deny it is to be naive, in my opinion. I am open for discussion on this matter, but you have a tough sell to convince me otherwise. D13, as well, seems to have studied this extensively, and with some of the same insight and access as I, and I think he shares that opinion. He can weigh in for himself.

Iran has been, and continues to be, seeking the ability to possess nuclear weapons. There have been multiple round of sanctions imposed on Iran for continuing to enrich Uranium, failing to cooperate with IAEA, and developing nuclear warhead capabilities. The bottom line is that the world has taken a stand against Iran’s nuclear program. Sanctions are stifling for the country, but do not seem to stop the government from pursuing its agenda. Much like North Korea, Iran is willing to allow its people to suffer if need be.

This is a difficult decision to make. On one hand, Iran is a sovereign nation. They have every bit as much of a right to develop a nuclear energy program as anyone else. Until they show that they are going to use it on someone, who are we to say they cannot do so? It is nothing short of hypocritical for the most nuclear armed nation on earth, the only nation to actually use the nuclear option, to claim that anyone else does not have the sovereign right to do exactly as we have done, in the name of national defense. While I certainly see the threat, the liberty and freedom guy in me says I have no right to tell Iran what to do, until they use that nuclear program to attack another nation.

On the other hand, Iran is far more of a threat than some are willing to admit. They have shown countless times their willingness to wage war on other nations, even though they have done so in the smartest of ways, covertly. To allow them to continue puts many countries in that region at great risk, with Israel being the most apparent target. But Israel is not the only target. A nuclear Iran would have the ability to exercise control over the entire middle east.

So the topic is now on the table. I look forward to the discussions that follow.

Hamas: Egypt understood our call for delaying dialog session

[ 10/10/2009 - 04:06 PM ]

CAIRO, (PIC)– Egypt has expressed understanding of Hamas Movement’s motive for demanding the postponement of the Palestinian national dialog session in Cairo, Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said on Saturday.

He told the PIC that a delegation of the Movement grouping Dr. Mousa Abu Marzouk, the deputy political bureau chairman, and Mohammed Nasr, a political bureau member, concluded talks with Egyptian officials on Saturday evening.

The delegates, who arrived in Cairo on Friday night, consulted with Egyptian officials on deferring the dialog session because of the Ramallah authority’s position regarding the Goldstone report, he elaborated.

Abu Zuhri said that Cairo offered a proposal to overcome the crisis that occurred after the Fatah-dominated Ramallah authority requested a delay in the voting on the Goldstone report at the UN human rights council, which created an “unfavorable” atmosphere for the reconciliation agreement.

The spokesman said that the Egyptian proposal would be discussed within the Movement’s institutions and talks would be held later on the issue.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah Al Qods Day speech

Today is Al Qods Day. It’s the last Friday of the holy Month of Ramadan. Following the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the establishment of the Islamic Republic in it, the toppling of the US-Israeli Shah Pahlavi regime and the transformation of the Israeli Embassy in Tehran to the first Palestinian Embassy in the whole world, Imam Khomeini (May Allah glorify his soul) announced the last Friday of the Holy Month of Ramadan of every year as AlQods International Day for evident reasons related to reviving the cause of Palestine and reminding the nation of its historic responsibilities. Following the decease of the Imam (May Allah glorify his soul), His Eminence Imam Sayyed Khamenai carried on his track and course stressing his commitments to the late Imam’s principles and stances in all perspectives on top of which are the cause of Palestine, Al Qods, the Arab-Israeli struggle, backing the Palestinian people, the Arab peoples in the region and the resistance movements. Thus after the decease of the Imam, Al Qods Day remained one of the most important causes which the Imam left among his holy, glorified, great and lasting heritage.
Al Qods Day is the day of the holy city with what and who are in it including the threatened religious sanctities of both Muslims and Christians. Someone might ask: are there no sanctities for Jews in Al Qods? There is controversy over this issue. What the children of Israel have done through history with their prophets, themselves, their tribes, their clans and those who overpowered them didn’t preserve and keep anything for them. So the city with all its religious sanctities is threatened, and Al Qods Day is the day of the city and whoever are in it among its Arab people- Muslims and Christians alike – who are threatened of being uprooted also.

Al Qods Day is the day of Palestine – all Palestine from the sea to the river. Al Qods Day is the day of the Palestinian and Arab prisoners who are jailed in occupation prisons. Al Qods Day is the day of Palestinian refugees whether in Palestine of in exodus. Al Qods Day is the day of the patient, fighting, resisting and steadfast besieged Gaza. Al Qods Day is the day of the Palestinian resistance with all its factions and currents. It’s the day of the Lebanese, Arab and Islamic resistance. It’s the day of every resistant fighter who opposes and remains steadfast in face of the Zionist project in our region. Al Qods Day is the day of the nation, the day of reviving the nation and the day of reminding the nation of both its historic and religious responsibilities.

The main issue of Al Qods Day before whatever topics and details – the key as we always put it – is the stance from the Zionist occupation of the Palestine lands and the Arab lands which are still under occupation whether Golan Heights or Shebaa Farms or Kfar Shouba Heights. So the main issue is the stance from the occupation and consequently the stance from this entity which was formed and established on the bases of occupation and control. We have a clear stance and firm and final principle which we always express on Al Qods Day regardless of the diverse viewpoints whether in or outside Lebanon. That’s because what is right is right and must be said and announced aloud and because what is false is false and must be denied, refused and confronted. We frankly and openly say that Palestine from the sea to the river is the property of the Palestinian people and the whole nation.

The Zionists have no right in this land. We are ready to discuss this topic on religious, historic, rational and legal bases depending on holy books including the Old Testament which is widespread and recognized now among the Jews of this time. Based on what has been acknowledged by people all through history, we stress that Palestine is the right of this people and this nation and it’s not the right of the Zionists at all. In the Holy Month of Ramadan when Muslims recite the Holy Qoran and seek to complete reading the whole Book of Allah more than once, interpretations assemble in the minds clearly. The Holy Qoran tackles repetitively the stories of the children of Israel and the prophets of the children of Israel. Such concepts were mentioned in previous books especially in Torah and the other books Allah revealed to the prophets of the children of Israel. We recognize based on the Qoran and our Islamic teachings that Allah Al Mighty promised Abrams (pbuh) to give his descendants the holy Land. We do not deny that. That is present in our Qoranic text. Back also to the Qoran, the Old Testament, the sayings of the prophets of the children of Israel and the historic events, Allah Al Mighty promised the descendants of Abrams the Holy Land; but the descendants of Abrams are not only the Jews and the Zionists as a political or religious trend or as a tribe and race. A great section of Arabs are among the descendants of Abrams (pbuh). The descendants of Abrams are from Ishmael and Isaac. But in the Torah, the Bible, the Psalms and the Qoran, Allah promised the descendants of Abrams the Holy land.

Which descendants?

They are the good, the believers, the chaste and the pious among them. They are the followers of Abrams the father and the prophet and the followers of religion of Abrams (pbuh). As for the descendants of Abrams who are criminals and killers who slaughtered prophets, spread corruption on earth and perpetrated horrible deeds and great sins, they are not promised in the first place to say the promise was withdrawn. They are not promised on the first hand.

In the Old Testament and in history books after Moses (pbuh) crossed with the children of Israel towards Palestine and the Holy Land, the children of Israel worshiped the bull and the idols and disobeyed Allah and harmed His prophet and conspired against him and his brother Aaron. Allah ordered them to go astray in the desert of that land for forty years. So they are not promised. When the disobedient and their descendents who denied the blessings of Allah were terminated – after forty years – the children of the prophet of Allah Joshua entered the Holy Land. They were the religious, pious and devout descendants of the children of Israel from the descendants of Abrams. Still when they resorted again to corruption and killing the prophets, Allah Almighty controlled over them who killed them, destroyed them and dispersed them.

Now they are digging under the Al Aqsa Mosque in search for a temple which was destroyed three thousands years ago due to their crimes and corruption. Neither in the Torah, nor in the Bible, nor in the Psalms, nor in the Qoran nor in any divine book is there but one principle: The land is Allah’s. He bequeaths it to whoever He wants among his good servants. This land is the promise of Allah to the good among his servants.

On Al Qods Day in the month of fasting and night-worship, I say specifically to Muslims who are fasting worldwide: If you really want to fast, today we are verifying an aspect of fasting. “O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may learn self-restraint”. The aim of fasting is to become self-restraint and pious. Pious means that we do not anger Allah by any of our sayings or deeds. Pious means to label what’s right as right and what is false as false. Pious means that we do not alter what is right to what is false and what is false to what is right due to fear or greed. Today, you and I – who responded to the eternal call of Imam Khomeini (May Allah glorify his soul) announce hereof from the Compound of Sayyed Ashuhada (pbuh) which embraced the bodies of our martyrs in the resistance and still does – announce our steadfast adherence to the principles which will never alter:

First: Historic Palestine from the sea to the river is for the Palestinian People and the whole nation.

Forth: No one has the right to recognize this entity or acknowledge its legitimacy or recognize its existence.

Fifth: Dealing with Israel is prohibited. Normalization with Israel is prohibited. This is what Muslim scholars, jurists and authorities unanimously agree on. Whoever says otherwise let him show up and give his evidences. These principles and firm beliefs are not changed at all with time, circumstances, and conditions of strength and weakness. Brothers and sisters! Some talk about our inability; we might really be for one reason or another unable to liberate Palestine and restore the Holy site of Al Qods in the current circumstance. We might be unable to do anything at all. We might be unable to get entangled in a war, to resist or to make an uprising, but we are not obliged at all to recognize, acknowledge, succumb or give in to our enemy and seal for him the title deed and the bill of legally controlling our land, holy sites and wealth. No one can impose any such thing on us. This is a psychological, personal and public stance. This is the stance of the nation. No one can impose any other thing on us. This is our nation. For more than sixty years, the whole world is pressing to recognize Israel, deal with Israel and normalize with Israel. Still they could not impose that on us. Even the countries which have made so called peace agreements with Israel could not impose on their peoples to deal with Zionists or to normalize with Zionists. So it is possible that we do not recognize, acknowledge, succumb and conclude agreements. Today we are not weak and unable. Let’s then at least say – and here I am saying on your behalf and announcing as a part of this nation in the month of fasting and night-worship:

O Allah have witness on us in Your Month, days and nights that we as part of this nation will not recognize Israel, deal with Israel, normalize with Israel, succumb to Israel and give in to Israel even if the whole world recognized it. Our faith, concept and media will remain: Israel has an illegal existence. It is a cancerous grand which must terminate to exist.

We are not committed to acknowledging, recognizing, normalizing or conceding to Israel even in the hard and harsh conditions. Since its foundation, Lebanon is living hard conditions. Its textile is complicated. Its circumstances are difficult and its capabilities are humble. Since 1978 and 1982 it has been suffering from wars, civil war, sectarian divisions and horizontal and vertical aligning. This Lebanon which has many problems and disorders did not concede to Israel officially or publicly. Until this very moment and for 61 years, Lebanon has not conceded one grain of soil or drop of water to Israel. We are not obliged even if the country is weak, the region is weak and Israel is powerful and the conditions are difficult. Yes, an orphan trial was made but aborted rapidly. It’s May 17th Agreement. So if there is a country with a determined people, there will be no concessions. We don’t want to fight and wage a regional war; but we will not as well concede our rights and we will carry on demanding our rights. We will not conclude agreements and give up. We might not wage a war for restoring Kfar Shouba and Shebaa Farms but will we leave them in the hands of Israelis? No we will carry on demanding them and talking about them. This is the least we can do, and we are all able to do it. Take also Syria.

Some people always talk about opening fronts. Since 1967 and October War and for decades until our day, Syria did not open a front and so far it did not fight. This has its conditions which might be right or wrong. This is another story.

But no one may ignore that Syria for thirty or forty years – whether under late President Hafez Assad or under President Bashar Assad currently and despite the siege, international sanctions, isolation, conspiracies and the most difficult conditions it has passed through especially in the latest years after the occupation of Iraq and all the changes that took place on the Arab, international and Islamic levels and all what Syria has been subject to – has not conceded one grain of its soil or one drop of its waters. Syria must be hailed for that. This must be recognized and esteemed highly. Well there is a regime in Syria and it is not like Hezbollah or the resistance movements in Palestine. These are movements and factions. No Syria has a regime, an army, a government, infrastructure, economy, relations and still it remained steadfast. It’s true it did not fight and rather close a front but still it did not surrender. It did not give in and sell its lands and waters. We all know Geneva Summit which took place between President Hafez Assad and President Bill Clinton. We all know that. They were ready to give; still the whole settlement between Syria and the Israeli enemy was ceased due to a couple of water meter cubes in the Sea of Galilee. So that is possible even in case of an Arab regime and not a public resistance movement. This Arab regime which has economic, social and political responsibilities and international affairs could remain steadfast because it was relying on righteousness and law. So because it has a will, it could remain steadfast.

So, brothers and sisters, it is not that we are before two choices: either war or if not able to fight we succumb. No there is a third option which is to remain steadfast, oppose, resist and work to achieve power and capability and wait for changes.

This is our proposal on Al Qods Day. Our choice is not to succumb. No we might remain steadfast and not succumb. We can oppose and work to achieve the elements of strength and power and await changes.

This is a logical, rational and successful option. It has proved fruitful. When talking about the options we have today, we have the option of negotiations. After all these years, it was proved that negotiations are a fruitless track. That does not need much evidence and more concessions and right-wasting (at times for free). Whoever has anything else to say, let him show up and say it. Today Mr. George Mitchell has informed the Palestinians that he has failed to convince Netanyahu to temporarily freeze settlement building. This has two suppositions: the supposition of the American inability which says that Obama’s administration is unable and weak and can’t press Netanyahu and impose that on him. I do not believe that. If the US administration is weak, will you bet on the inability of the unable? If the great US administration can’t impose on Netanyahu, according to this supposition, to freeze temporarily settlement building, how may it make a settlement in the region and give the least rights to the Palestinians and the Arabs. This is as far as the supposition of inability is concerned.

The second supposition is that of deception and this is what I say is the truth. I am not convinced that they are unable. Rather they are deceitful. They came to say that we pressed on Netanyahu and he did not respond. He is in a difficult situation. The extreme right will soon kill him as they killed Isaac Rabin.

O Arabs we must offer a reasonable and acceptable price which would make Netanyahu accept a temporary freeze of settlement building. So let’s go towards normalization and offer more fruitless concessions. This is the track of negotiations.

There are other choices.

There was another choice which was tackled in the last decades and the courtesies of our generation and the generation that preceded. It’s the choice of announcing an Arab, comprehensive war. Let’s open all fronts and mobilize all armies and break through Palestine from all its gates.

This is a nice speech and a good choice. But it seems that who doesn’t want to fight renders the stone heavy. So if we are to wait until the day on which all the Arab regimes get convinced in opening all fronts and dispatching all armies to liberate Palestine, we will have to wait for hundreds of years to come.

God knows. Indeed this track of thinking had led to the loss of the resistance in many mazes. Many of the currents and movements which adopted the choice of fighting the Israeli enemy and confronting the Zionist project have been lost based on this theory (the strategy of changing the regimes). Thus the way to Al Qods came to pass through Junieh. That means we have to change the regime in this and that Arab country so that we would have regimes which all are convinced in war so that they would dispatch their armies. But what is taking place is that even when the regime changes and a new regime is installed, the new regime gives up fighting.

So let’s put this choice aside. I am not saying it is totally hopeless. What I am saying is that it is not handy in the ten or twenty coming years. It doesn’t seem it will be practical with ease. Here I am saying as others do: when you hear someone among us saying let’s open all fronts to fight, he would be searching for a logical pretext not to fight. This is frankly speaking.

When Lebanon was invaded by Israel, should the Lebanese people have waited for the Arab nations, a united Arab strategy and the Arab armies, Israel would have still been in Nabatiyeh, Bint Jbeil, Hasbaya, Jizzine, Tyr, Beirut, Junieh and would have also reached Zahle, Baalbeck, Hermel and Tripoli. This is where this way of thinking leads.

The other choice we are proposing and which I mentioned a while ago is opposing and remaining steadfast and having a public resistance. This does not need much interpretation because you are the people of resistance.

In the history of the Zionist entity – for 61 years up to this very day- the hardest 10 years which Israel has passed through are the latest decade. This was the result of this choice. There are Arab and Islamic countries which are opposing and remaining steadfast. They are not succumbing. There is resistance in Lebanon. There is resistance in Palestine. What’s the result? It was the withdrawal of Israel from Lebanon except for Kfar Shouba Heights, Shebaa Farms and Al Ghajar. That was a great achievement and victory to Lebanon and a historic massive defeat to Israel. We all know what strategic Israel experts have said following the defeat of 2000.

In 2000 also was Al Aqsa Intifada in Occupied Palestine. It was the public uprising and armed resistance which truly shook the Israeli entity. It made the Israelis perplexed and lost. Anti-migration started taking place. They started saying in Israel that they are leading the Independence War II. So for the first time the Israelis feel there existence is being threatened due to Al Aqsa Intifada and the struggle and sacrifices offered by our Palestinian brethrens. Then came the withdrawal from Gaza and the defeat in Gaza. Then was July War in 2006 which shook essential bases in the entity’s existence which has to do with its army and its morals, capacities and the confidence in it.

So this is the choice I am talking about. I do not want to put forth theories on it. We are saying this choice is the true choice because it leads to such and such. Here I am saying to all Arabs and Muslims: this is a true choice not because it leads but because it has led. So experience and facts have shown the validity of this choice. We can restore our territories with resistance. The proof is that we restored it in Lebanon. The proof is that we restored it in Gaza. We can cripple all the aims of the enemy no matter how mighty he is. The proof is that we did so in July 2006 and our brethrens have done in Gaza War. So that is possible. Consequently, I am frankly saying. We do not need to open fronts. Some people have made theories of opening fronts. Well no we do not need to open fronts.

On Al Qods Day, I say the valid strategy is the following. Here I will announce the valid strategy:

Let’s start with Lebanon. Guard the resistance in Lebanon. Well if you do not want to guard the resistance in Lebanon, it’s up to you but at least “leave it alone”. This speech is not addressed to the Lebanese. Most Lebanese back the resistance with no doubt and guard it. Experience has proved that. I mean some in Lebanon and some Arab states who have done what they have done in July War and have done what they have done before July War and after it.

Second: Support the Palestinian people. Keep your armies guarding your thrones. Blessed are they for you. Support the people and the resistance in Palestine. Help the Palestinians remain in their land. Lift the siege on them. Do not supply them with arms; let them pass arms. Do not fund them but do not block the way before those who are funding them. We can’t be more humble. If you – the Arab states, the Arab nation and the Arab people – do not want to support them, don’t then. Iran is supporting and openly now. Here is Ahmed Najjad. He doesn’t fear anything.

Here I am saying support the Palestinian people. Support the resistance in Palestine. Lift the siege on the Palestinian people. Muster the Palestinian lines. Make peace between them. Unite their word and stances. Do not conspire against them. Do not instigate one side against the other. Do not purchase arms to any side to kill the other. To Palestine the arms of ordeal and internal fighting pass; whereas the arms to fight the Zionists are being confiscated. Is not this the truth? Do not furnish the Israelis with information about the Palestinian resistance, its cells, arms, capabilities, tunnels, smuggling ways and its leaderships and their dwelling places…

Leave them alone. As I said in July War when I told the Arab leaders to leave us alone, today I tell them leave the Palestinian People alone. Either you support them or leave them alone.

Now we are fasting the days of the Month of Ramadan. If the siege was lifted from the Palestinian people which was also supported and backed, the Palestinian people have capacities, leaderships, men, women, youths, courage, faithfulness, patience, tolerance, will, determination and the spirit of struggling and martyrdom which enable them from restoring Al Aqsa Mosque to the whole nation. They are not in need for your armies and fronts and neither our front also. This is the scope of this choice.

Today some might say: O Sayyed! You are saying so but the conditions are difficult. And the conditions of the Arabs are harder and worse. This is true. This is the statue quo. But I would like to tell you that the circumstances in Israel now and in the future will be harder and worse. Israel before the defeat of 2000 is not like Israel after the defeat of 2000; Israel after the defeat of Gaza is not like Israel after the defeat of Gaza; and Israel after the defeat of July is not like Israel after the defeat of July.

Today don’t be that much afraid of Israel. Israel is training, arming and maneuvering day and night because it is afraid. It is wailing because it is frightened.

Is there a way out?

Yes, there is a way out. I will show you the way out. I have always tackled it in previous occasions. But today I want to clarify it a little more. Let’s go back to history. We must read history and modern history too. There are many great states which if attacked remain steadfast, gain victory and put a decisive end to the battle. But at times if they dispatch their army outside the country land to another country, the army would be defeated and destroyed. Then the regime would fall and the state would collapse. Aren’t there such evidences whether in history or in modern history?

I will tell you about the way out.

Support the Palestinian people. Enable them to be ready and strong. Don’t let them be preoccupied with each other and with their livelihood, reconstructing their homes, prisoners and arrests and the like. Leave the resistance alone.

One day the Israelis who are threatening – Yes I give in to the principle which is being tackled in Lebanon and which some political leadership in Lebanon are articulating. We can’t deny that – might wage a war on Lebanon. We do not want this war. I am not talking strategically to say we want a war. No we do not want a war. Well in 1982, we did not want war either. Neither did the Palestinians who were then in Lebanon. The Israelis took as a pretext the assassination of the Israel ambassador in London to wage a war on Lebanon. They invaded Lebanon. I don’t know what pretext they might take to wage a war on Lebanon, but many Lebanese and Arabs might find that threatening. Well with a sound will and a wise leadership, the threat might be turned to a chance.

Here I am telling the Lebanese and the Arabs: We do not want a war. But in case Israel attacked Lebanon, we have to change the threat to a chance.

What is this chance?

It’s what I hinted to before. They would dispatch 6 or 7 squads to fight us – i.e. more than half of the Israeli army would be outside the land of Palestine. If our resistance was ready and could destroy this half and perish, disperse and crush them, what future will remain for Israel in the region?

When I say that the next war will change the landmarks of the region, many interpreted that saying the Sayyed has owned nuclear weapons!

By God we do not possess nuclear weapons. In fact, it’s prohibited that anyone possess or use nuclear weapons. What Imam Khamenai says is a religious rule and not political talk. Our jurisprudence says so. Owning and using such weapons are religiously prohibited.

The landmarks of the region will change because Israel is a state which was made to an army. If we could destroy this army and we will destroy it God willing; if we could rush this army and we will crush it God willing; if we could perish this army and we will perish it in Lebanon God willing, what future will remain for Israel?

I remember in 2000 when the front posts fell in the border lines we did not need soldiers to reach Hasbaya, Bint Jbeil and Naqura. We reached there in buses, vans and cars. So If the Israeli army Is crushed in Lebanon, it is not unlikely that Allah would bless us to reach in busses and vans Al Aqsa Mosque. This is a logical, practical and methodical choice. It’s not theorizing and raising banners and composing Arabic verse. These are facts and a truthful course of events for the past, present and the future.

On Al Qods Day, I call on all Arab and Islamic governments and on all Arab and Islamic peoples to adhere to the choice of opposing, remaining steadfast, supporting the resistance and refusing to succumb, give in, normalize and yield and to dispense with the feelings of weakness, inability, impotence, inferiority and lowness.

We are – O people – “Ye are the best of people evolved for mankind”. You are not the best in race, blood and origin but because we are the nation of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, jihad, good deeds and calling for the good and interests and rights of the people and humanity.

I call for seizing this choice. On Al Qods Day, I will recall some topics swiftly.

First I recall Al Aqsa Mosque which is today being subject to threats. We all need to make a single call: O Al Qods! But alas, it’s Al Qods which is today shouting: O nation! It’s Al Aqsa Mosque which is now shouting: O nation! The Israelis are still excavating beneath it. This is not a rumor anymore. It’s not the propaganda of the Palestinians which they report in the media to have the Islamic world sympathize with them. This has been confirmed in various ways including the acknowledgement of Israeli organizations. Excavating is taking place in full swing beneath the Mosque. Should the Israelis keep digging tunnels under the Mosque, we might wake up one day and the Al Aqsa Mosque has collapsed – God forbids.

Who among Muslims might bear that? Who among their religious men, scholars, leaders, parties, men and women might tolerate that?

What a nation is this and its first Kiblah, the midnight journey of their Great Prophet (pbuh) is threatened to collapse and cave in any time, any moment, any day? If the attempt of blazing a part of the Al Aqsa Mosque let – among its consequences – to the formation of the Islamic Conference Organization, doesn’t what is more dangerous than blazing which is demolishing, destroying and caving in necessitate on the Islamic and Arab states to take a decisive clear stance in this perspective?

Muslim scholars might convene and make a clear call on the Zionists saying that causing damage to the Mosque would lead to events and developments in the region which can’t be expected at all. The reaction of the nation to what the Mosque might be subject to is outside the domestic, national and regional calculations. The Zionists must hear clear decisive words to stop digging tunnels which might lead to such a catastrophe.

The other topic has to do with the people of Al Qods:

We are in the month of Ramadan. All through the Islamic nation, we are having our iftar in our house or at our parents’ or relatives. Some are having iftar in halls, hotels and restaurants. But aren’t many families in Al Qods having their iftar in the street because they were expelled from their homes unjustly?

Didn’t this move those fasting? What is our fasting like if we are not moved with such scenes? Anyway, we must make haste to support the families of Al Qods to remain in Al Qods with money to purchase houses or construct their homes or whatever. True Al Qods Institution and our brethrens are taking close care of that; but anyway we can’t play down this issue at all.

The third topic: Al Qods Day is the day of Palestinian and Arab prisoners.

We have among them those missed including prisoner Yahya Skaff. Here I have something to say as far as the issue of prisoners is concerned. I have an emotional word to say. In fact, I mentioned this before but I will say it again.

If we roamed the Arab world at least asking: Do you know who Ron Arad is? Many will answer yes. He is an Israeli pilot who was missed in Lebanon in the eighties and the whole world is searching for him. Is that true or not? If now we asked who Shalit is? Many would know. But should we ask in these televised competitions which are made in the Months of Ramadan on Arab satellite channels or if we carried a poll in all Arab streets asking: Give the names of three Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons from among 8000 Palestinian prisoners? If the person we are asking is not Palestinian or whose relatives are not among the prisoners, I swear a few persons would be able to name three Palestinian prisoners. Is that true or not? Isn’t this unfair? If we asked for the names of three Palestinian women or elderly or children in Israeli prisoners… that means we are all neglectful towards the Palestinians in the Arab and Islamic world. Who are they? What are their names?

Why should the whole world know who Ron Arad is? Remember the two prisoners whom we were keeping. I did not memorize their names to vex them. Why should we memorize their names? Why should we forget our names and remember theirs? Why should the whole world know Arad and Shalit but not the names of Palestinian, Jordanian, Syrian and Arab prisoners?

Well now, you know why the name of Samir Al Qintar has become known worldwide? We kept prisoners for the sake of freeing Samir Al Qintar but we did not wage a war for him. So when you demand a prisoner and make an event out of that, his name would be known worldwide. So why are we numbers and they are names? When we talk about prisoners, they are names and we are nine, ten or eleven thousands.

In graveyards, we are numbers and they are names and they are but a few foreigners and we are the nation of the billion and 400 million people. Isn’t this but a shame to the headbands, cloaks, turbans, beards, crowns, armies and the medals on the shoulders of officers? Isn’t this the truth?

Well who is doing anything for the sake of liberating these prisoners? The brethrens in Gaza arrested Shalit. The whole world was mobilized. We took two prisoners and tried to do something on the Palestinian level. They waged a war on us. Israel has the right to wage a war and it would be righteous in doing that according to the international community and many of the Arabs. But shame on you Hezbollah! How do you take two prisoners? And you Hamas too! How do you take Shalit as a prisoner? How do you assault the Israelis in this way? But as for the 10, 11 and 12 thousand prisoners including women, children and patients who have families and relatives, they are of no value. Isn’t that painful?

This is also an occasion to recall that we must do something in this perspective on the media, political, legal, social and public level whether it be pressure, war or fighting. I don’t mean war but I mean there is responsibility towards that issue.

The Israelis are not able until now to settle the issue of Ron Arad though we gave them clear conclusions. True we did not give them a materialistic proof. Still I have to accept that hundreds of Lebanese and Palestinian missed who were arrested on Israeli checkpoints have died. Their case is over. I have not to ask them any more and without offering a materialistic evidence. Why? Is Ron Arad a human being and the Lebanese, Palestinians and the four Iranian diplomats not. No this issue will remain an open cause on top of them is the cause of Yahya Skaff. His case will remain open. Our human beings are human beings. Our human beings are highly esteemed whether dead or alive. He is dignified. His soil is dignified. His land is dignified. We will not neglect this point for one moment.

Among the other issues is that of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.

Here I stress that our speech as Lebanese and Palestinians stresses on confirming the right to return. That’s before talking about settlement and refusing settlement. We in Lebanon refuse settlement. All the Palestinian forces and people in Lebanon say they are against settlement. All the Lebanese say they are against settlement. There is a Lebanese consensus and a Palestinian consensus. There are fears that at any moment settlement will be refused. Should the settlement be imposed, it will be a conspiracy against the Palestinians before being a conspiracy against the Lebanese. It’s a conspiracy against Palestine before being a conspiracy against Lebanon. Settlement will be at the expense of Palestine before being at the expense of Lebanon. Let’s stress on the right to return. That’s because if we talked about settlement alone, we fear there’ll be a slip in the speech which might turn to be sectarian should it be a Muslim speech, a Christian speech or a sectarian speech. But there is a right. It’s the right of those people to return to their homes, country, land and sanctities.

The second issue is the civil rights of the Palestinians in Lebanon.

This is among the well-established aims of Al Qods Day. We will always recall it and stress it. We can in this issue think with precision and wisdom without sliding into the risks of settlement. But the current statue quo of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon must not carry on.

Thirdly is the topic of camps.

Two days ago when it flooded, you saw what the situation in some camps including Burj Al Barajineh was. In fact, we are neighbors with the Palestinian brethrens. How do we accept as Lebanese that our guests – as we refer to the Palestinians – dwell in such camps and neighborhoods in such difficult and hard situations?

Let’s put the religion and Arabism aside and talk as human beings with feelings, emotions and values. This issue needs a serious addressing. We are not talking to raise the blame. We are talking about our responsibility as a civil national community. It’s the responsibility of the official regime to cooperate altogether on this issue to see where we will reach.

We are not alone in this track. Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran gained victory, it was fought because it adopted the essential causes for the nation.

We are calling on all people to examine carefully why the war was waged on Iran and why it was isolated and besieged. Why when Iran was with the Shah, most Arabs were with it. When Iran was the police of the Gulf, all the friends were with it… But then Iran cut its relations with Israel, cut off oil from Israel, the Israeli Embassy was turned to the Embassy of Palestine and adopted openly supporting the Palestinian people and the resistance movements.

Imam Khomeini from the first day was clear. He said: Israel is a cancerous gland which must cease to exist. In his statements, President Ahmadi Najjad did not say anything new. He is reviving the speech of Imam Khomeini (May Allah glorify his soul). Here America and the whole West regarded Iran as a threat. Iran is a great support to the Palestinian people and the Arab peoples. Thus they imposed this siege, war, pressure and isolation. Now it is subject to this malformation by some Arab satellite channels and Arab governments. The true guilt of Iran is that it stands by the resistance and the peoples of the region and Palestine. Now let Iran say it dispensed with Lebanon, Syria and the Arabs, the whole world will be ready to hold talks with it because Iran is not a small country. It has oil, gas, coal, market among other primary materials. It’s a great country. Historically it was as such. Iran is paying the price of its commitment to its principles. This must be known by all Lebanese, Arabs and Muslims.

During the recent developments, the whole world bet on the collapse of the regime. Indeed some did partake in the war against the regime from among the Arabs, Arab governments, Arab media and they failed as they failed during July War and Gaza War. We are proud of belonging to this axis which will not be defeated God willing.

Iran hit the street today to say to the whole world which expected it to be confused, become weak, shake and collapse we are with Al Qods, Palestine, Lebanon and Gaza. We are with “Israel must cease to exist”. We saw the people. We heard the clear speech of the President of the Iranian Republic and Friday Imam, the slogans raised in the demonstrations. I know Iran and its wise and brave leader. I know its leaderships, people and stances. Here I am telling you: Iran can’t give up the peoples of the region and the resistance movements in the region. The Palestinian cause and Al Qods are to Iran, its head, leaders and peoples their prayers, fasting, night-worship, religion and Hereafter.

Whoever bets on expelling Iran from the field and the square is deluded and doubtful. Today, I give my many thanks in the name of all resistance fighters, martyrs, prisoners and believers in the choice of resistance, steadfastness and opposition to His Eminence Ayatollah Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenai (May Allah prolong his life span) and the brethrens in the leadership of Iran and the Iranian people for all the moral, political, materialistic and financial support. This is a source of pride to Iran of which it must be proud worldwide and even before the international community and the Security Council. His Eminence Sayyed Khamenai was clear in Friday Prayers.

This nation is not alone. Lebanon is not alone. Syria is not alone. Palestine is not alone. The peoples of the region are not alone. Consequently we own many elements of strength.

We have transcended the most dangerous stage which is that of George Bush. Today the Israelis are in a bad condition. The Israelis are in a bad condition in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Today we are hearing the story of the armored- rocket in Czech and Poland. These two states are an example to all those who bet on the Americans. Poor are they in Czech and Poland. They evoked a trouble with the Russians. Then the Americans abandoned them.

Why did the Americans abandon the armored rocket. That’s because they have a problem. They are weak and they have financial troubles. What’s their pretext? They found out that the Iranian rockets do not pose a threat. How it is so? All of a sudden, they discovered that and changed their track which was to cause an international crisis and a world war. They said they have another way in dealing with rockets… So we have crossed the difficult stage.

Gaza is besieged. We in Lebanon, many Arab and Islamic states have given us money and capabilities. A great number of our houses were reconstructed. Reconstruction is at full swing but it’s natural that it takes time. In Gaza, it has been almost a year since the aggression. They talked about billions of dollars in Sharm El Sheikh Conference. Where are the people of Gaza? They are still in camps and winter will in a couple of days. Will the homes made of clay stand in face of winter, war and aggressions?

On Al Qods Day, we make a call, an appeal or a wish: Lift the siege from Gaza and help it. Pass to it cement, iron, raw materials and sanitary items. Help them build their homes. They don’t want to build castles and great edifices. They want to take shelter from winter and protect themselves.

Isn’t this one of their responsibilities? Is this an Arab or Islamic world?

We compose chants and anthems for our Prophet Mohamad (peace be upon him) in Arab satellites. Mohamad – the seal of Prophets – is telling us: “Whoever wakes up and sleeps again at night without considering the concerns of Muslims is not a Muslim.” We are all heading towards Eid. But what is the feast like in Gaza? What is the feast like for the families of prisoners, for the Iraqis, Afghans, and Pakistanis…Well in far places we can’t do anything, but here near us can’t we do anything?

What’s taking place in Yemen is sorrowful and painful.

I do not want to interfere in the internal affairs of any Arab country. When some events took place in Beirut – this might have been reported in the media or not – President Ali Abdullah Saleh contacted us. Indeed I can’t talk on the phone. He talked with one of the leaderships and said: Give my regards to Sayyed Hassan. He expressed his emotions. He is thanked for that. He was afraid of the events that took place on May 5th and May 7th. He said By God, I call upon you to avoid such and such. We said indeed we are responsible for the people. Inshallah we will accept this appeal. Today I can’t talk with the Yemeni president on the phone. I don’t care who is right and who is wrong and what the details are or the whole story is. But take the initiative and order a cease-fire and stop fighting and fraternal blood shedding and the exsanguinations of the people. Open the gate for a political solution. You are able to do that. You can take the initiative. I am tackling this issue because I feel responsible. I don’t know the situation in the field. Who are interested in what is taking place: the Hittites or the Yemeni Army. Nobody contacted me or called upon me. I am not concerned with this issue but we are in the Month of Ramadan. After two days, it will be Eid. One day, O president, you made an appeal to us and we listened and honored you. It was our duty to do so. Today we are also appealing to you to order a cease-fire and stop blood shedding. Take the initiative. You are able to do that. Open the gate for political solution. Spare the lives of our people in Yemen.

In the Lebanese issue, everyone is occupied with his constitutional right. The Minister-designate practiced his right which he considers his right. The Opposition has practiced its rights. We went to naming. The Opposition did not name not as a result of weakness, inability or lack of men. The Opposition is able to name any personality from among the Sunni responsible leaders in Lebanon as a Premier according to our sectarian regime but it did not do that because doing so will cause tension for the premier whom the majority will name. We in the Opposition agreed not to name a premier. We see this as positive or else the Opposition and the parliamentary blocs were able to name any personality and charge him of forming a government even if the majority was to name another Premier. This might be seen as negative but it may be seen as positive. We said we are ready for dialogue and cooperation. What I want to say: let no one take the country to political tension or sectarian tension or factional tension, or security tension. There is no reason for that. We have all tried that. We will all lose. If we take the country to internal tension in allies and neighborhoods, we will all lose. Sectarian speech is a double-edged sword. Let no one resort to sectarian speech. Let the square be calm after the elections. After the feast, the president-designate will return peacefully God willing. He will sit with the parliamentary blocs and contact them. There is a legal and constitutional track. In Lebanon we have our democracy. Let’s be quiet and have patience with each other to reach somewhere. To reach late is better than leading our country to destruction.

On Al Qods Day, I thank you for attending. You are fasting and tired. But this is but a show of your faithfulness to AlQods and the Imam. May Allah make us among those adhering to the firm righteous principles. May Allah bless us with you to pray in Al Aqsa Mosque in Al Qods. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessing.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah Al Qods Day speech

Today is Al Qods Day. It’s the last Friday of the holy Month of Ramadan. Following the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the establishment of the Islamic Republic in it, the toppling of the US-Israeli Shah Pahlavi regime and the transformation of the Israeli Embassy in Tehran to the first Palestinian Embassy in the whole world, Imam Khomeini (May Allah glorify his soul) announced the last Friday of the Holy Month of Ramadan of every year as AlQods International Day for evident reasons related to reviving the cause of Palestine and reminding the nation of its historic responsibilities. Following the decease of the Imam (May Allah glorify his soul), His Eminence Imam Sayyed Khamenai carried on his track and course stressing his commitments to the late Imam’s principles and stances in all perspectives on top of which are the cause of Palestine, Al Qods, the Arab-Israeli struggle, backing the Palestinian people, the Arab peoples in the region and the resistance movements. Thus after the decease of the Imam, Al Qods Day remained one of the most important causes which the Imam left among his holy, glorified, great and lasting heritage.
Al Qods Day is the day of the holy city with what and who are in it including the threatened religious sanctities of both Muslims and Christians. Someone might ask: are there no sanctities for Jews in Al Qods? There is controversy over this issue. What the children of Israel have done through history with their prophets, themselves, their tribes, their clans and those who overpowered them didn’t preserve and keep anything for them. So the city with all its religious sanctities is threatened, and Al Qods Day is the day of the city and whoever are in it among its Arab people- Muslims and Christians alike – who are threatened of being uprooted also.

Al Qods Day is the day of Palestine – all Palestine from the sea to the river. Al Qods Day is the day of the Palestinian and Arab prisoners who are jailed in occupation prisons. Al Qods Day is the day of Palestinian refugees whether in Palestine of in exodus. Al Qods Day is the day of the patient, fighting, resisting and steadfast besieged Gaza. Al Qods Day is the day of the Palestinian resistance with all its factions and currents. It’s the day of the Lebanese, Arab and Islamic resistance. It’s the day of every resistant fighter who opposes and remains steadfast in face of the Zionist project in our region. Al Qods Day is the day of the nation, the day of reviving the nation and the day of reminding the nation of both its historic and religious responsibilities.

The main issue of Al Qods Day before whatever topics and details – the key as we always put it – is the stance from the Zionist occupation of the Palestine lands and the Arab lands which are still under occupation whether Golan Heights or Shebaa Farms or Kfar Shouba Heights. So the main issue is the stance from the occupation and consequently the stance from this entity which was formed and established on the bases of occupation and control. We have a clear stance and firm and final principle which we always express on Al Qods Day regardless of the diverse viewpoints whether in or outside Lebanon. That’s because what is right is right and must be said and announced aloud and because what is false is false and must be denied, refused and confronted. We frankly and openly say that Palestine from the sea to the river is the property of the Palestinian people and the whole nation.

The Zionists have no right in this land. We are ready to discuss this topic on religious, historic, rational and legal bases depending on holy books including the Old Testament which is widespread and recognized now among the Jews of this time. Based on what has been acknowledged by people all through history, we stress that Palestine is the right of this people and this nation and it’s not the right of the Zionists at all. In the Holy Month of Ramadan when Muslims recite the Holy Qoran and seek to complete reading the whole Book of Allah more than once, interpretations assemble in the minds clearly. The Holy Qoran tackles repetitively the stories of the children of Israel and the prophets of the children of Israel. Such concepts were mentioned in previous books especially in Torah and the other books Allah revealed to the prophets of the children of Israel. We recognize based on the Qoran and our Islamic teachings that Allah Al Mighty promised Abrams (pbuh) to give his descendants the holy Land. We do not deny that. That is present in our Qoranic text. Back also to the Qoran, the Old Testament, the sayings of the prophets of the children of Israel and the historic events, Allah Al Mighty promised the descendants of Abrams the Holy Land; but the descendants of Abrams are not only the Jews and the Zionists as a political or religious trend or as a tribe and race. A great section of Arabs are among the descendants of Abrams (pbuh). The descendants of Abrams are from Ishmael and Isaac. But in the Torah, the Bible, the Psalms and the Qoran, Allah promised the descendants of Abrams the Holy land.

Which descendants?

They are the good, the believers, the chaste and the pious among them. They are the followers of Abrams the father and the prophet and the followers of religion of Abrams (pbuh). As for the descendants of Abrams who are criminals and killers who slaughtered prophets, spread corruption on earth and perpetrated horrible deeds and great sins, they are not promised in the first place to say the promise was withdrawn. They are not promised on the first hand.

In the Old Testament and in history books after Moses (pbuh) crossed with the children of Israel towards Palestine and the Holy Land, the children of Israel worshiped the bull and the idols and disobeyed Allah and harmed His prophet and conspired against him and his brother Aaron. Allah ordered them to go astray in the desert of that land for forty years. So they are not promised. When the disobedient and their descendents who denied the blessings of Allah were terminated – after forty years – the children of the prophet of Allah Joshua entered the Holy Land. They were the religious, pious and devout descendants of the children of Israel from the descendants of Abrams. Still when they resorted again to corruption and killing the prophets, Allah Almighty controlled over them who killed them, destroyed them and dispersed them.

Now they are digging under the Al Aqsa Mosque in search for a temple which was destroyed three thousands years ago due to their crimes and corruption. Neither in the Torah, nor in the Bible, nor in the Psalms, nor in the Qoran nor in any divine book is there but one principle: The land is Allah’s. He bequeaths it to whoever He wants among his good servants. This land is the promise of Allah to the good among his servants.

On Al Qods Day in the month of fasting and night-worship, I say specifically to Muslims who are fasting worldwide: If you really want to fast, today we are verifying an aspect of fasting. “O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may learn self-restraint”. The aim of fasting is to become self-restraint and pious. Pious means that we do not anger Allah by any of our sayings or deeds. Pious means to label what’s right as right and what is false as false. Pious means that we do not alter what is right to what is false and what is false to what is right due to fear or greed. Today, you and I – who responded to the eternal call of Imam Khomeini (May Allah glorify his soul) announce hereof from the Compound of Sayyed Ashuhada (pbuh) which embraced the bodies of our martyrs in the resistance and still does – announce our steadfast adherence to the principles which will never alter:

First: Historic Palestine from the sea to the river is for the Palestinian People and the whole nation.

Forth: No one has the right to recognize this entity or acknowledge its legitimacy or recognize its existence.

Fifth: Dealing with Israel is prohibited. Normalization with Israel is prohibited. This is what Muslim scholars, jurists and authorities unanimously agree on. Whoever says otherwise let him show up and give his evidences. These principles and firm beliefs are not changed at all with time, circumstances, and conditions of strength and weakness. Brothers and sisters! Some talk about our inability; we might really be for one reason or another unable to liberate Palestine and restore the Holy site of Al Qods in the current circumstance. We might be unable to do anything at all. We might be unable to get entangled in a war, to resist or to make an uprising, but we are not obliged at all to recognize, acknowledge, succumb or give in to our enemy and seal for him the title deed and the bill of legally controlling our land, holy sites and wealth. No one can impose any such thing on us. This is a psychological, personal and public stance. This is the stance of the nation. No one can impose any other thing on us. This is our nation. For more than sixty years, the whole world is pressing to recognize Israel, deal with Israel and normalize with Israel. Still they could not impose that on us. Even the countries which have made so called peace agreements with Israel could not impose on their peoples to deal with Zionists or to normalize with Zionists. So it is possible that we do not recognize, acknowledge, succumb and conclude agreements. Today we are not weak and unable. Let’s then at least say – and here I am saying on your behalf and announcing as a part of this nation in the month of fasting and night-worship:

O Allah have witness on us in Your Month, days and nights that we as part of this nation will not recognize Israel, deal with Israel, normalize with Israel, succumb to Israel and give in to Israel even if the whole world recognized it. Our faith, concept and media will remain: Israel has an illegal existence. It is a cancerous grand which must terminate to exist.

We are not committed to acknowledging, recognizing, normalizing or conceding to Israel even in the hard and harsh conditions. Since its foundation, Lebanon is living hard conditions. Its textile is complicated. Its circumstances are difficult and its capabilities are humble. Since 1978 and 1982 it has been suffering from wars, civil war, sectarian divisions and horizontal and vertical aligning. This Lebanon which has many problems and disorders did not concede to Israel officially or publicly. Until this very moment and for 61 years, Lebanon has not conceded one grain of soil or drop of water to Israel. We are not obliged even if the country is weak, the region is weak and Israel is powerful and the conditions are difficult. Yes, an orphan trial was made but aborted rapidly. It’s May 17th Agreement. So if there is a country with a determined people, there will be no concessions. We don’t want to fight and wage a regional war; but we will not as well concede our rights and we will carry on demanding our rights. We will not conclude agreements and give up. We might not wage a war for restoring Kfar Shouba and Shebaa Farms but will we leave them in the hands of Israelis? No we will carry on demanding them and talking about them. This is the least we can do, and we are all able to do it. Take also Syria.

Some people always talk about opening fronts. Since 1967 and October War and for decades until our day, Syria did not open a front and so far it did not fight. This has its conditions which might be right or wrong. This is another story.

But no one may ignore that Syria for thirty or forty years – whether under late President Hafez Assad or under President Bashar Assad currently and despite the siege, international sanctions, isolation, conspiracies and the most difficult conditions it has passed through especially in the latest years after the occupation of Iraq and all the changes that took place on the Arab, international and Islamic levels and all what Syria has been subject to – has not conceded one grain of its soil or one drop of its waters. Syria must be hailed for that. This must be recognized and esteemed highly. Well there is a regime in Syria and it is not like Hezbollah or the resistance movements in Palestine. These are movements and factions. No Syria has a regime, an army, a government, infrastructure, economy, relations and still it remained steadfast. It’s true it did not fight and rather close a front but still it did not surrender. It did not give in and sell its lands and waters. We all know Geneva Summit which took place between President Hafez Assad and President Bill Clinton. We all know that. They were ready to give; still the whole settlement between Syria and the Israeli enemy was ceased due to a couple of water meter cubes in the Sea of Galilee. So that is possible even in case of an Arab regime and not a public resistance movement. This Arab regime which has economic, social and political responsibilities and international affairs could remain steadfast because it was relying on righteousness and law. So because it has a will, it could remain steadfast.

So, brothers and sisters, it is not that we are before two choices: either war or if not able to fight we succumb. No there is a third option which is to remain steadfast, oppose, resist and work to achieve power and capability and wait for changes.

This is our proposal on Al Qods Day. Our choice is not to succumb. No we might remain steadfast and not succumb. We can oppose and work to achieve the elements of strength and power and await changes.

This is a logical, rational and successful option. It has proved fruitful. When talking about the options we have today, we have the option of negotiations. After all these years, it was proved that negotiations are a fruitless track. That does not need much evidence and more concessions and right-wasting (at times for free). Whoever has anything else to say, let him show up and say it. Today Mr. George Mitchell has informed the Palestinians that he has failed to convince Netanyahu to temporarily freeze settlement building. This has two suppositions: the supposition of the American inability which says that Obama’s administration is unable and weak and can’t press Netanyahu and impose that on him. I do not believe that. If the US administration is weak, will you bet on the inability of the unable? If the great US administration can’t impose on Netanyahu, according to this supposition, to freeze temporarily settlement building, how may it make a settlement in the region and give the least rights to the Palestinians and the Arabs. This is as far as the supposition of inability is concerned.

The second supposition is that of deception and this is what I say is the truth. I am not convinced that they are unable. Rather they are deceitful. They came to say that we pressed on Netanyahu and he did not respond. He is in a difficult situation. The extreme right will soon kill him as they killed Isaac Rabin.

O Arabs we must offer a reasonable and acceptable price which would make Netanyahu accept a temporary freeze of settlement building. So let’s go towards normalization and offer more fruitless concessions. This is the track of negotiations.

There are other choices.

There was another choice which was tackled in the last decades and the courtesies of our generation and the generation that preceded. It’s the choice of announcing an Arab, comprehensive war. Let’s open all fronts and mobilize all armies and break through Palestine from all its gates.

This is a nice speech and a good choice. But it seems that who doesn’t want to fight renders the stone heavy. So if we are to wait until the day on which all the Arab regimes get convinced in opening all fronts and dispatching all armies to liberate Palestine, we will have to wait for hundreds of years to come.

God knows. Indeed this track of thinking had led to the loss of the resistance in many mazes. Many of the currents and movements which adopted the choice of fighting the Israeli enemy and confronting the Zionist project have been lost based on this theory (the strategy of changing the regimes). Thus the way to Al Qods came to pass through Junieh. That means we have to change the regime in this and that Arab country so that we would have regimes which all are convinced in war so that they would dispatch their armies. But what is taking place is that even when the regime changes and a new regime is installed, the new regime gives up fighting.

So let’s put this choice aside. I am not saying it is totally hopeless. What I am saying is that it is not handy in the ten or twenty coming years. It doesn’t seem it will be practical with ease. Here I am saying as others do: when you hear someone among us saying let’s open all fronts to fight, he would be searching for a logical pretext not to fight. This is frankly speaking.

When Lebanon was invaded by Israel, should the Lebanese people have waited for the Arab nations, a united Arab strategy and the Arab armies, Israel would have still been in Nabatiyeh, Bint Jbeil, Hasbaya, Jizzine, Tyr, Beirut, Junieh and would have also reached Zahle, Baalbeck, Hermel and Tripoli. This is where this way of thinking leads.

The other choice we are proposing and which I mentioned a while ago is opposing and remaining steadfast and having a public resistance. This does not need much interpretation because you are the people of resistance.

In the history of the Zionist entity – for 61 years up to this very day- the hardest 10 years which Israel has passed through are the latest decade. This was the result of this choice. There are Arab and Islamic countries which are opposing and remaining steadfast. They are not succumbing. There is resistance in Lebanon. There is resistance in Palestine. What’s the result? It was the withdrawal of Israel from Lebanon except for Kfar Shouba Heights, Shebaa Farms and Al Ghajar. That was a great achievement and victory to Lebanon and a historic massive defeat to Israel. We all know what strategic Israel experts have said following the defeat of 2000.

In 2000 also was Al Aqsa Intifada in Occupied Palestine. It was the public uprising and armed resistance which truly shook the Israeli entity. It made the Israelis perplexed and lost. Anti-migration started taking place. They started saying in Israel that they are leading the Independence War II. So for the first time the Israelis feel there existence is being threatened due to Al Aqsa Intifada and the struggle and sacrifices offered by our Palestinian brethrens. Then came the withdrawal from Gaza and the defeat in Gaza. Then was July War in 2006 which shook essential bases in the entity’s existence which has to do with its army and its morals, capacities and the confidence in it.

So this is the choice I am talking about. I do not want to put forth theories on it. We are saying this choice is the true choice because it leads to such and such. Here I am saying to all Arabs and Muslims: this is a true choice not because it leads but because it has led. So experience and facts have shown the validity of this choice. We can restore our territories with resistance. The proof is that we restored it in Lebanon. The proof is that we restored it in Gaza. We can cripple all the aims of the enemy no matter how mighty he is. The proof is that we did so in July 2006 and our brethrens have done in Gaza War. So that is possible. Consequently, I am frankly saying. We do not need to open fronts. Some people have made theories of opening fronts. Well no we do not need to open fronts.

On Al Qods Day, I say the valid strategy is the following. Here I will announce the valid strategy:

Let’s start with Lebanon. Guard the resistance in Lebanon. Well if you do not want to guard the resistance in Lebanon, it’s up to you but at least “leave it alone”. This speech is not addressed to the Lebanese. Most Lebanese back the resistance with no doubt and guard it. Experience has proved that. I mean some in Lebanon and some Arab states who have done what they have done in July War and have done what they have done before July War and after it.

Second: Support the Palestinian people. Keep your armies guarding your thrones. Blessed are they for you. Support the people and the resistance in Palestine. Help the Palestinians remain in their land. Lift the siege on them. Do not supply them with arms; let them pass arms. Do not fund them but do not block the way before those who are funding them. We can’t be more humble. If you – the Arab states, the Arab nation and the Arab people – do not want to support them, don’t then. Iran is supporting and openly now. Here is Ahmed Najjad. He doesn’t fear anything.

Here I am saying support the Palestinian people. Support the resistance in Palestine. Lift the siege on the Palestinian people. Muster the Palestinian lines. Make peace between them. Unite their word and stances. Do not conspire against them. Do not instigate one side against the other. Do not purchase arms to any side to kill the other. To Palestine the arms of ordeal and internal fighting pass; whereas the arms to fight the Zionists are being confiscated. Is not this the truth? Do not furnish the Israelis with information about the Palestinian resistance, its cells, arms, capabilities, tunnels, smuggling ways and its leaderships and their dwelling places…

Leave them alone. As I said in July War when I told the Arab leaders to leave us alone, today I tell them leave the Palestinian People alone. Either you support them or leave them alone.

Now we are fasting the days of the Month of Ramadan. If the siege was lifted from the Palestinian people which was also supported and backed, the Palestinian people have capacities, leaderships, men, women, youths, courage, faithfulness, patience, tolerance, will, determination and the spirit of struggling and martyrdom which enable them from restoring Al Aqsa Mosque to the whole nation. They are not in need for your armies and fronts and neither our front also. This is the scope of this choice.

Today some might say: O Sayyed! You are saying so but the conditions are difficult. And the conditions of the Arabs are harder and worse. This is true. This is the statue quo. But I would like to tell you that the circumstances in Israel now and in the future will be harder and worse. Israel before the defeat of 2000 is not like Israel after the defeat of 2000; Israel after the defeat of Gaza is not like Israel after the defeat of Gaza; and Israel after the defeat of July is not like Israel after the defeat of July.

Today don’t be that much afraid of Israel. Israel is training, arming and maneuvering day and night because it is afraid. It is wailing because it is frightened.

Is there a way out?

Yes, there is a way out. I will show you the way out. I have always tackled it in previous occasions. But today I want to clarify it a little more. Let’s go back to history. We must read history and modern history too. There are many great states which if attacked remain steadfast, gain victory and put a decisive end to the battle. But at times if they dispatch their army outside the country land to another country, the army would be defeated and destroyed. Then the regime would fall and the state would collapse. Aren’t there such evidences whether in history or in modern history?

I will tell you about the way out.

Support the Palestinian people. Enable them to be ready and strong. Don’t let them be preoccupied with each other and with their livelihood, reconstructing their homes, prisoners and arrests and the like. Leave the resistance alone.

One day the Israelis who are threatening – Yes I give in to the principle which is being tackled in Lebanon and which some political leadership in Lebanon are articulating. We can’t deny that – might wage a war on Lebanon. We do not want this war. I am not talking strategically to say we want a war. No we do not want a war. Well in 1982, we did not want war either. Neither did the Palestinians who were then in Lebanon. The Israelis took as a pretext the assassination of the Israel ambassador in London to wage a war on Lebanon. They invaded Lebanon. I don’t know what pretext they might take to wage a war on Lebanon, but many Lebanese and Arabs might find that threatening. Well with a sound will and a wise leadership, the threat might be turned to a chance.

Here I am telling the Lebanese and the Arabs: We do not want a war. But in case Israel attacked Lebanon, we have to change the threat to a chance.

What is this chance?

It’s what I hinted to before. They would dispatch 6 or 7 squads to fight us – i.e. more than half of the Israeli army would be outside the land of Palestine. If our resistance was ready and could destroy this half and perish, disperse and crush them, what future will remain for Israel in the region?

When I say that the next war will change the landmarks of the region, many interpreted that saying the Sayyed has owned nuclear weapons!

By God we do not possess nuclear weapons. In fact, it’s prohibited that anyone possess or use nuclear weapons. What Imam Khamenai says is a religious rule and not political talk. Our jurisprudence says so. Owning and using such weapons are religiously prohibited.

The landmarks of the region will change because Israel is a state which was made to an army. If we could destroy this army and we will destroy it God willing; if we could rush this army and we will crush it God willing; if we could perish this army and we will perish it in Lebanon God willing, what future will remain for Israel?

I remember in 2000 when the front posts fell in the border lines we did not need soldiers to reach Hasbaya, Bint Jbeil and Naqura. We reached there in buses, vans and cars. So If the Israeli army Is crushed in Lebanon, it is not unlikely that Allah would bless us to reach in busses and vans Al Aqsa Mosque. This is a logical, practical and methodical choice. It’s not theorizing and raising banners and composing Arabic verse. These are facts and a truthful course of events for the past, present and the future.

On Al Qods Day, I call on all Arab and Islamic governments and on all Arab and Islamic peoples to adhere to the choice of opposing, remaining steadfast, supporting the resistance and refusing to succumb, give in, normalize and yield and to dispense with the feelings of weakness, inability, impotence, inferiority and lowness.

We are – O people – “Ye are the best of people evolved for mankind”. You are not the best in race, blood and origin but because we are the nation of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, jihad, good deeds and calling for the good and interests and rights of the people and humanity.

I call for seizing this choice. On Al Qods Day, I will recall some topics swiftly.

First I recall Al Aqsa Mosque which is today being subject to threats. We all need to make a single call: O Al Qods! But alas, it’s Al Qods which is today shouting: O nation! It’s Al Aqsa Mosque which is now shouting: O nation! The Israelis are still excavating beneath it. This is not a rumor anymore. It’s not the propaganda of the Palestinians which they report in the media to have the Islamic world sympathize with them. This has been confirmed in various ways including the acknowledgement of Israeli organizations. Excavating is taking place in full swing beneath the Mosque. Should the Israelis keep digging tunnels under the Mosque, we might wake up one day and the Al Aqsa Mosque has collapsed – God forbids.

Who among Muslims might bear that? Who among their religious men, scholars, leaders, parties, men and women might tolerate that?

What a nation is this and its first Kiblah, the midnight journey of their Great Prophet (pbuh) is threatened to collapse and cave in any time, any moment, any day? If the attempt of blazing a part of the Al Aqsa Mosque let – among its consequences – to the formation of the Islamic Conference Organization, doesn’t what is more dangerous than blazing which is demolishing, destroying and caving in necessitate on the Islamic and Arab states to take a decisive clear stance in this perspective?

Muslim scholars might convene and make a clear call on the Zionists saying that causing damage to the Mosque would lead to events and developments in the region which can’t be expected at all. The reaction of the nation to what the Mosque might be subject to is outside the domestic, national and regional calculations. The Zionists must hear clear decisive words to stop digging tunnels which might lead to such a catastrophe.

The other topic has to do with the people of Al Qods:

We are in the month of Ramadan. All through the Islamic nation, we are having our iftar in our house or at our parents’ or relatives. Some are having iftar in halls, hotels and restaurants. But aren’t many families in Al Qods having their iftar in the street because they were expelled from their homes unjustly?

Didn’t this move those fasting? What is our fasting like if we are not moved with such scenes? Anyway, we must make haste to support the families of Al Qods to remain in Al Qods with money to purchase houses or construct their homes or whatever. True Al Qods Institution and our brethrens are taking close care of that; but anyway we can’t play down this issue at all.

The third topic: Al Qods Day is the day of Palestinian and Arab prisoners.

We have among them those missed including prisoner Yahya Skaff. Here I have something to say as far as the issue of prisoners is concerned. I have an emotional word to say. In fact, I mentioned this before but I will say it again.

If we roamed the Arab world at least asking: Do you know who Ron Arad is? Many will answer yes. He is an Israeli pilot who was missed in Lebanon in the eighties and the whole world is searching for him. Is that true or not? If now we asked who Shalit is? Many would know. But should we ask in these televised competitions which are made in the Months of Ramadan on Arab satellite channels or if we carried a poll in all Arab streets asking: Give the names of three Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons from among 8000 Palestinian prisoners? If the person we are asking is not Palestinian or whose relatives are not among the prisoners, I swear a few persons would be able to name three Palestinian prisoners. Is that true or not? Isn’t this unfair? If we asked for the names of three Palestinian women or elderly or children in Israeli prisoners… that means we are all neglectful towards the Palestinians in the Arab and Islamic world. Who are they? What are their names?

Why should the whole world know who Ron Arad is? Remember the two prisoners whom we were keeping. I did not memorize their names to vex them. Why should we memorize their names? Why should we forget our names and remember theirs? Why should the whole world know Arad and Shalit but not the names of Palestinian, Jordanian, Syrian and Arab prisoners?

Well now, you know why the name of Samir Al Qintar has become known worldwide? We kept prisoners for the sake of freeing Samir Al Qintar but we did not wage a war for him. So when you demand a prisoner and make an event out of that, his name would be known worldwide. So why are we numbers and they are names? When we talk about prisoners, they are names and we are nine, ten or eleven thousands.

In graveyards, we are numbers and they are names and they are but a few foreigners and we are the nation of the billion and 400 million people. Isn’t this but a shame to the headbands, cloaks, turbans, beards, crowns, armies and the medals on the shoulders of officers? Isn’t this the truth?

Well who is doing anything for the sake of liberating these prisoners? The brethrens in Gaza arrested Shalit. The whole world was mobilized. We took two prisoners and tried to do something on the Palestinian level. They waged a war on us. Israel has the right to wage a war and it would be righteous in doing that according to the international community and many of the Arabs. But shame on you Hezbollah! How do you take two prisoners? And you Hamas too! How do you take Shalit as a prisoner? How do you assault the Israelis in this way? But as for the 10, 11 and 12 thousand prisoners including women, children and patients who have families and relatives, they are of no value. Isn’t that painful?

This is also an occasion to recall that we must do something in this perspective on the media, political, legal, social and public level whether it be pressure, war or fighting. I don’t mean war but I mean there is responsibility towards that issue.

The Israelis are not able until now to settle the issue of Ron Arad though we gave them clear conclusions. True we did not give them a materialistic proof. Still I have to accept that hundreds of Lebanese and Palestinian missed who were arrested on Israeli checkpoints have died. Their case is over. I have not to ask them any more and without offering a materialistic evidence. Why? Is Ron Arad a human being and the Lebanese, Palestinians and the four Iranian diplomats not. No this issue will remain an open cause on top of them is the cause of Yahya Skaff. His case will remain open. Our human beings are human beings. Our human beings are highly esteemed whether dead or alive. He is dignified. His soil is dignified. His land is dignified. We will not neglect this point for one moment.

Among the other issues is that of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.

Here I stress that our speech as Lebanese and Palestinians stresses on confirming the right to return. That’s before talking about settlement and refusing settlement. We in Lebanon refuse settlement. All the Palestinian forces and people in Lebanon say they are against settlement. All the Lebanese say they are against settlement. There is a Lebanese consensus and a Palestinian consensus. There are fears that at any moment settlement will be refused. Should the settlement be imposed, it will be a conspiracy against the Palestinians before being a conspiracy against the Lebanese. It’s a conspiracy against Palestine before being a conspiracy against Lebanon. Settlement will be at the expense of Palestine before being at the expense of Lebanon. Let’s stress on the right to return. That’s because if we talked about settlement alone, we fear there’ll be a slip in the speech which might turn to be sectarian should it be a Muslim speech, a Christian speech or a sectarian speech. But there is a right. It’s the right of those people to return to their homes, country, land and sanctities.

The second issue is the civil rights of the Palestinians in Lebanon.

This is among the well-established aims of Al Qods Day. We will always recall it and stress it. We can in this issue think with precision and wisdom without sliding into the risks of settlement. But the current statue quo of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon must not carry on.

Thirdly is the topic of camps.

Two days ago when it flooded, you saw what the situation in some camps including Burj Al Barajineh was. In fact, we are neighbors with the Palestinian brethrens. How do we accept as Lebanese that our guests – as we refer to the Palestinians – dwell in such camps and neighborhoods in such difficult and hard situations?

Let’s put the religion and Arabism aside and talk as human beings with feelings, emotions and values. This issue needs a serious addressing. We are not talking to raise the blame. We are talking about our responsibility as a civil national community. It’s the responsibility of the official regime to cooperate altogether on this issue to see where we will reach.

We are not alone in this track. Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran gained victory, it was fought because it adopted the essential causes for the nation.

We are calling on all people to examine carefully why the war was waged on Iran and why it was isolated and besieged. Why when Iran was with the Shah, most Arabs were with it. When Iran was the police of the Gulf, all the friends were with it… But then Iran cut its relations with Israel, cut off oil from Israel, the Israeli Embassy was turned to the Embassy of Palestine and adopted openly supporting the Palestinian people and the resistance movements.

Imam Khomeini from the first day was clear. He said: Israel is a cancerous gland which must cease to exist. In his statements, President Ahmadi Najjad did not say anything new. He is reviving the speech of Imam Khomeini (May Allah glorify his soul). Here America and the whole West regarded Iran as a threat. Iran is a great support to the Palestinian people and the Arab peoples. Thus they imposed this siege, war, pressure and isolation. Now it is subject to this malformation by some Arab satellite channels and Arab governments. The true guilt of Iran is that it stands by the resistance and the peoples of the region and Palestine. Now let Iran say it dispensed with Lebanon, Syria and the Arabs, the whole world will be ready to hold talks with it because Iran is not a small country. It has oil, gas, coal, market among other primary materials. It’s a great country. Historically it was as such. Iran is paying the price of its commitment to its principles. This must be known by all Lebanese, Arabs and Muslims.

During the recent developments, the whole world bet on the collapse of the regime. Indeed some did partake in the war against the regime from among the Arabs, Arab governments, Arab media and they failed as they failed during July War and Gaza War. We are proud of belonging to this axis which will not be defeated God willing.

Iran hit the street today to say to the whole world which expected it to be confused, become weak, shake and collapse we are with Al Qods, Palestine, Lebanon and Gaza. We are with “Israel must cease to exist”. We saw the people. We heard the clear speech of the President of the Iranian Republic and Friday Imam, the slogans raised in the demonstrations. I know Iran and its wise and brave leader. I know its leaderships, people and stances. Here I am telling you: Iran can’t give up the peoples of the region and the resistance movements in the region. The Palestinian cause and Al Qods are to Iran, its head, leaders and peoples their prayers, fasting, night-worship, religion and Hereafter.

Whoever bets on expelling Iran from the field and the square is deluded and doubtful. Today, I give my many thanks in the name of all resistance fighters, martyrs, prisoners and believers in the choice of resistance, steadfastness and opposition to His Eminence Ayatollah Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenai (May Allah prolong his life span) and the brethrens in the leadership of Iran and the Iranian people for all the moral, political, materialistic and financial support. This is a source of pride to Iran of which it must be proud worldwide and even before the international community and the Security Council. His Eminence Sayyed Khamenai was clear in Friday Prayers.

This nation is not alone. Lebanon is not alone. Syria is not alone. Palestine is not alone. The peoples of the region are not alone. Consequently we own many elements of strength.

We have transcended the most dangerous stage which is that of George Bush. Today the Israelis are in a bad condition. The Israelis are in a bad condition in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Today we are hearing the story of the armored- rocket in Czech and Poland. These two states are an example to all those who bet on the Americans. Poor are they in Czech and Poland. They evoked a trouble with the Russians. Then the Americans abandoned them.

Why did the Americans abandon the armored rocket. That’s because they have a problem. They are weak and they have financial troubles. What’s their pretext? They found out that the Iranian rockets do not pose a threat. How it is so? All of a sudden, they discovered that and changed their track which was to cause an international crisis and a world war. They said they have another way in dealing with rockets… So we have crossed the difficult stage.

Gaza is besieged. We in Lebanon, many Arab and Islamic states have given us money and capabilities. A great number of our houses were reconstructed. Reconstruction is at full swing but it’s natural that it takes time. In Gaza, it has been almost a year since the aggression. They talked about billions of dollars in Sharm El Sheikh Conference. Where are the people of Gaza? They are still in camps and winter will in a couple of days. Will the homes made of clay stand in face of winter, war and aggressions?

On Al Qods Day, we make a call, an appeal or a wish: Lift the siege from Gaza and help it. Pass to it cement, iron, raw materials and sanitary items. Help them build their homes. They don’t want to build castles and great edifices. They want to take shelter from winter and protect themselves.

Isn’t this one of their responsibilities? Is this an Arab or Islamic world?

We compose chants and anthems for our Prophet Mohamad (peace be upon him) in Arab satellites. Mohamad – the seal of Prophets – is telling us: “Whoever wakes up and sleeps again at night without considering the concerns of Muslims is not a Muslim.” We are all heading towards Eid. But what is the feast like in Gaza? What is the feast like for the families of prisoners, for the Iraqis, Afghans, and Pakistanis…Well in far places we can’t do anything, but here near us can’t we do anything?

What’s taking place in Yemen is sorrowful and painful.

I do not want to interfere in the internal affairs of any Arab country. When some events took place in Beirut – this might have been reported in the media or not – President Ali Abdullah Saleh contacted us. Indeed I can’t talk on the phone. He talked with one of the leaderships and said: Give my regards to Sayyed Hassan. He expressed his emotions. He is thanked for that. He was afraid of the events that took place on May 5th and May 7th. He said By God, I call upon you to avoid such and such. We said indeed we are responsible for the people. Inshallah we will accept this appeal. Today I can’t talk with the Yemeni president on the phone. I don’t care who is right and who is wrong and what the details are or the whole story is. But take the initiative and order a cease-fire and stop fighting and fraternal blood shedding and the exsanguinations of the people. Open the gate for a political solution. You are able to do that. You can take the initiative. I am tackling this issue because I feel responsible. I don’t know the situation in the field. Who are interested in what is taking place: the Hittites or the Yemeni Army. Nobody contacted me or called upon me. I am not concerned with this issue but we are in the Month of Ramadan. After two days, it will be Eid. One day, O president, you made an appeal to us and we listened and honored you. It was our duty to do so. Today we are also appealing to you to order a cease-fire and stop blood shedding. Take the initiative. You are able to do that. Open the gate for political solution. Spare the lives of our people in Yemen.

In the Lebanese issue, everyone is occupied with his constitutional right. The Minister-designate practiced his right which he considers his right. The Opposition has practiced its rights. We went to naming. The Opposition did not name not as a result of weakness, inability or lack of men. The Opposition is able to name any personality from among the Sunni responsible leaders in Lebanon as a Premier according to our sectarian regime but it did not do that because doing so will cause tension for the premier whom the majority will name. We in the Opposition agreed not to name a premier. We see this as positive or else the Opposition and the parliamentary blocs were able to name any personality and charge him of forming a government even if the majority was to name another Premier. This might be seen as negative but it may be seen as positive. We said we are ready for dialogue and cooperation. What I want to say: let no one take the country to political tension or sectarian tension or factional tension, or security tension. There is no reason for that. We have all tried that. We will all lose. If we take the country to internal tension in allies and neighborhoods, we will all lose. Sectarian speech is a double-edged sword. Let no one resort to sectarian speech. Let the square be calm after the elections. After the feast, the president-designate will return peacefully God willing. He will sit with the parliamentary blocs and contact them. There is a legal and constitutional track. In Lebanon we have our democracy. Let’s be quiet and have patience with each other to reach somewhere. To reach late is better than leading our country to destruction.

On Al Qods Day, I thank you for attending. You are fasting and tired. But this is but a show of your faithfulness to AlQods and the Imam. May Allah make us among those adhering to the firm righteous principles. May Allah bless us with you to pray in Al Aqsa Mosque in Al Qods. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessing.

After 60 years, haven’t the Palestinians learned that yet? – MORE

Tony Sayegh

9:06 AM, September 20, 2009

Dear Nadia

What do you expect from a Gay (Thus said Ritalin) defeated 40 decadeds ago, other than spreading lies, half truth to justify selling his cause for for an american passport?.

Tony used to say: “When Sayyed Nasrallah Speaks I Listen Carefully — Palestinian Pundit.”

I claim he never did.

In his comment he reffered to “Arab puppets, including the so-called “Palestinian Authority,” who “have taken Ariel Sharon’s comment to its logical conclusion. Since Israel controls America, and since AIPAC sets American Middle East policy, Arab governments and the clowns of the PA now make pilgrimage to AIPAC to get US government favors! If the Pharaoh wants his son to inherit his throne, he pleads with AIPAC that he (and his son) is Israel’s best ally in the M.E. in order that Washington would bless such inheritance by the mini Pharaoh.”

This is half the truth

He Ignored the other half, the full part of the cup, and dared to ask Yasmin “What empirical evidence do you have to support such a view? Is the Palestinian (and Arab, in general) position today better or worse than at any time in the past 60 years?”

On Alquds day, addressing Arab leaders Nasrallah said “Palestinian people, if left to resist, if the siege is lifted, and support is provided, has the will, bravery to liberate Alquds without needing your armies, you frons and our front. Yes the current situation is difficult, but the situation in Israel is more dificult. Israel before July war, is not the same Israel after the war, and Israel before Gaza, is not the same Israel after Gaza. Israel is working day and night because its frightened”

DID HE LISTENED CAREFULLY TO NASRALLAH?

Let us check realities on Ground Ignored by Tony

• Hezbullah, who defeated Israel in July war, and vowed to never recognize Israel, and to destroy its army if it dare to attack Lebanon.
• Hamas , who stopped the Israel Invasion and foiled all the goals of Cast Lead operation, refused to bow, vowed .
• Syrians, who, using Narallah words, vowed that they will never give up one grain of Syrian soil or a drop of its water”
• Iran, who, using Nasrallah words, shall never stop supporting resisting nations, and made its religion.
• For him things are either white or black, fighting or surrendering. He can’t see the third option, which is according to Nasralla, The “option of remaining steadfast and resisting, We may not wage war to liberate Kfar Shouba hills and Shebaa Farms, but we will not stop demanding the return of the territories to Lebanon”.
• You may add the Iraq and Afghanistan the grave yards of the American Empire, and the American failure to change the regimes in Syria and Iran

All he, (I mean she who started the whole thing) can see is the so called “historical pattern” developing on ground (Settlements, Siege, Arab Regimes, Palestinian divisions, Israeli/Jewish “Supremacism controlling America”

So “If and when I see new Palestinian realities on the ground, I might change my mind.wever ” when he see new Palestinian realities on the ground, he might change my mind.”

Believe me, he shall nor change his one cell “mind”

A “Christian-Nationalist-Secular-Far leftist” selfloving guy can’t Think out of His Secular Box

The Realities he wants to see is nothing other than what he wishs to see on the ground,

The realities on the ground in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan are not the answer for this or that reason. In Palestine “Hamas is not the answer in his opinion. As he said many times, the Palestinians need a revolutionary movement to lead a real, tough, long-term struggle; Hamas is not such a movement.”

When asked, before the War on Gaza, What Hamas (Immune to Learn) can do to stop Israeli daily killings:Tony preyed: At least hide.

And when Hamas “Massed” it’s forces” to defend Gaza before bait hannoun massacre he preyed shocking his long ears; “So when I hear Hamas declaring that it would stop an Israeli invasion of Gaza, I just shake my Head.”

After the surprise, his surprise, of the failure of the WAR on Gaza, he stormed “shaked” his FAT ASS, to find another excuse for attacking Hamas. So when asked again what Hamas can do to end the siege he prayed: Let it be guerrilla, on the wall, not on Israel.

He mocked Hamas for not hiding, for saying it would stop the Isreali invasion, and when it did, he wanted Hamas “to transform itself into a true revolutionary movement and not align itself with the reactionary Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and in Jordan, who traditionally have been used by Western powers. Instead it will need to align itself with progressive forces in Egypt and make toppling the Pharaoh a top priority.“

In other words, Palestinians should let Super Israel alone and turn to change the regimes all the regimes, then open all the fronts, or wait until his Jewish friends change the puplic opionion and takeover the power in the only democracy in the middle east.

Sayyed Nasrallah rejected the idea of opening all fronts. “If we wait for all Arabs to open fronts, then we’ll have to wait for hundreds for years,”

“After 60 years, haven’t the Palestinians learned that yet?” Thus Farted Tony Sayegh

He CLAIMED, lied, that “For more than 60 years we waited for one UN resolution after another; one UN investigation after another.”

Since early Sixties, before Nasralla, Palestinians learned, especially after Camp david, that Arabs shall not open any Front, and they, the Palestinians decided to resist, rather than surrender or wait for hundreds of years.

Finally, I reppeat what Gilad Atzmon – comment 27- told another Palestinians Basher “As Israeli intelligence generals have been predicting for 2 decades, all Pls need in order to win is to survive. If you look at Israel and Zionism from that very perspective, you would realise that the ‘Wall’ is actually the biggest Pls victory. They dismantled the Zionist project and made the Israeli into a ‘diaspora ghetto Jew’. The Pls have managed to push the Jew back to the ghetto, and this ghetto will shrink as Pls ballistic capability grows. The Jewish state is a matter for Historians, its future is doomed.”

Gilad Atzmon – Thinking out of the Secular Box: The Left and Islam

Addressing Arab leaders Nasrallah said “Palestinian people, if left to resist, if the siege is lifted, and support is provided, has the will, bravery to liberate Alquds without needing your armies, you frons and our front. Yes the current situation is difficult, but the situation in Israel is more dificult. Israel before July war, is not the same Israel after the war, and Israel before Gaza, is not the same Israel after Gaza. Israel is working day and night because its frightened”

It seems like you and Atzmon are the only ones left who love that wall and consider it a victory. Everyone else we know sees it as the most extensive torture device that exists to rape Palestine and harm Palestinians.

Tell the people in Bi’lin to instead bring party balloons and to dance instead of to chant that the Wall MUST come down. (The last thing the Zionists want is for it to come down. They are still building it… why not ask yourself why they like it so much?)

If it makes you happy….

Thank you

Neither, me no Gilad said its not “the most extensive torture device that exists to rape Palestine and harm Palestinians”, or asked the people in Bi’lin “to bring party balloons and to dance instead of to chant that the Wall MUST come down”

I advise you to read carefully Gilad’s words. “If you look at Israel and Zionism from that very perspective (Zionists Perspective), you would realise that the ‘Wall’ is actually the biggest Pls victory.”

From that Original Zionists perspective that Wall should have included Cairo and and Baghdad, or at least Historical Palestine, from Nile to river.

Building the wall where its built, again from the Zionist perpective, means “The Pls have managed to push the Jew back to the ghetto, and this ghetto will shrink as Pls ballistic capability grows. The Jewish state is a matter for Historians, its future is doomed.”

Read Carefully, “Its future is dommed” not only its wall

Yes “They are still building it…” and they ” they like it so much?” because after 42 years of Occupation they failed to transfer Palestinians, and stop their resistance.

Once upon a time they liked Barlif Wall, and Gaza settlements, ask youself wher is that Wall and that settlements.

It’s not true that we have two choices of either fighting or surrendering.

Nasrallah remined the audiance of Geneva summit where Hafez Assad refused to sellout few meters of Gollan Heights.

Iran is a big support for Palestine and the Arab nations and it is being distorted by some Arab governments

In the Arabic Version Nasrallah said

“Today Iran told the whole world, we are with Jerusalem and Palestine, with Lebanon and Gaza, and Israel should sieze to exist. I know Iran, and its wise brave leader, I know its people, and so I would confirm to you that Iran shall never stop supporting resisting nations, Palestine is the religion of Iran. “

• Iran is a big support for Palestine and the Arab nations and it is being distorted by some Arab governments

Sayyed Nasrallah: Recognizing Israel’s Existence Is Forbidden

18/09/2009 Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah reiterated on Friday that Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people and not to the Zionist entity, stressing that recognizing Israel’s existence is forbidden and calling on all Arab and Islamic governments and people to adopt the choice of stead fasting in the face of the Israeli enemy.

Sayyed Nasrallah was speaking through a large TV screen during a festival organized by Hezbollah at Beirut’s southern suburb to commemorate Al-Quds day.

Sayyed Nasrallah started his speech by exploring the meaning of Al-Quds day and its different aspects. His eminence warned that the Holy city of Al-Quds is threatened today alongside its sacred and divine aspects for Muslims and Christians as well as its people from the Arabs. “Al-Quds day is the day of the whole Palestine. It’s the day of the Palestinian and Arab detainees. It’s the day of the Palestinian refugees inside Palestine and outside it. It’s the day of the resistant and besieged Gaza. It’s the day of the Palestinian Resistance and all its movements. It’s the day of the Lebanese, Arab and Islamic Resistance. It’s the day of every resistant and steadfast person against the Zionist scheme in the region. It’s the day of the nation.”

Hezbollah Secretary General emphasized that the main point in Al-Quds Day resides in the stance from the Zionist occupation of the Palestinian and Arab land and therefore, the position towards the entity that was created on the basis of this occupation. “Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people and not to the Zionists. Our stance is clear and final regarding this issue,” his eminence declared.

Sayyed Nasrallah confirmed commitment to the basics and principles Hezbollah and all Resistance forms have always adopted.

“First, Palestine belongs to Palestinians, to the whole nation but not the Zionist enemy.

Second, no one has the right to forsake the return of historic Palestine to its righteous people. No one has the right to abandon any part of Palestinian or to even remove one letter from its name.

Third, the Israeli entity is a malignant, illegal entity.

Forth, making deals and normalization with Israel is religiously forbidden.”

“As part of this nation and I swear in this Holy month of Ramadan that we will not recognize Israel’s right to exist. We will never make peace with it even if the international community demands it,” Hezbollah Secretary General then pledged. “We will not recognize Israel, neither succumb to it, and we will not normalize or make peace with this malignant cell that should be terminated, even if the whole world recognizes its existence,” his eminence went on to say. “We are not obliged neither to recognize Israel nor to normalize relations.”

“It’s not true that we have two choices of either fighting or surrendering. There is a third option of remaining steadfast and resisting,” Sayyed Nasrallah pointed out, emphasizing that recognizing Israel was forbidden. “We may not wage war to liberate Kfar Shouba hills and Shebaa Farms, but we will not stop demanding the return of the territories to Lebanon,” his eminence explained, giving the Syrian case as an example. “Syrian authorities vow that they will never give up one grain of Syrian soil or a drop of its water,” his eminence noted.

Sayyed Nasrallah rejected the idea of opening all fronts. “If we wait for all Arabs to open fronts, then we’ll have to wait for hundreds for years,” his eminence said. “We do not need to open a war front with Israel. The strategy that should be adopted in Lebanon is to preserve the resistance,” his eminence said, urging all Lebanese and Arabs to preserve and safeguard the Resistance in Lebanon. “If you do not want to preserve the resistance in Lebanon, suit yourselves, but leave it in peace,” his eminence said.

Turning into the Palestinian Resistance, Sayyed Nasrallah called on all Arabs to preserve it. “As I demanded from the Arabs during 2006 war, if you do not intend to help, leave Lebanon in Peace. Today I say, if it is not to lend a hand to Palestine then do not bother,” his eminence said. “The Arab regimes are confiscating the resistance’s arms while facilitating the smuggling of weapons used in internal strife among the Palestinian factions,” his eminence regretted, calling on the Arab and Islamic countries to lift the siege against the Palestinians in Gaza

While admitting that an Israeli war against Lebanon was possible, Sayyed Nasrallah reiterated full readiness to face any possible aggression. “We do not want any confrontations but if Israel declares war on Lebanon, then we should take advantage of this threat and destroy and smash Israel,” Sayyed Nasrallah pointed out, pledging that the Israeli occupation army would be destroyed in Lebanon.

Sayyed Nasrallah criticized the facts that Arabs memorize the names of Israeli detainees and figures, but not the Arab and Palestinian detainess. “Why are we numbers and they’re names! Isn’t this an insult! An insult for the armies, for the nation and for our prisoners!” his eminence stressed.

In another topic, Hezbollah Secretary General warned that harming Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem will lead to an unexpected and unprecedented response regardless of any regional and international considerations. His eminence called on all Arabs to take solid and firm stances towards the issue so that Israel could be alarmed.

Sayyed Nasrallah praised the Iranian support for the Resistance factions in the region. “Iran is a big support for Palestine and the Arab nations and it is being distorted by some Arab governments,” his eminence said. “Iran is paying the price of its commitment to its principles,” Sayyed Nasrallah pointed out.

Turning into Lebanon, Hezbollah Secretary General said that nothing is worth to take the country to a political, sectarian and security tension. “The opposition did not present a name for the premiership not to undermine anyone but to avoid building up tension with the majority,” his eminence said in reference to the parliamentary consultations that took place ahead of the re-nomination of MP Saad Hariri as Prime Minister-Designate.

The Yemeni crisis was also tackled by Sayyed Nasrallah during his speech. “What’s happening in Yemen is very painful,” his eminence said. Sayyed Nasrallah called on Yemeni President to take the initiative to protect his country. “I don’t want to interfere in Yemen’s internal affairs but I just call on Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh to take the initiative and order a ceasefire,” Sayyed Nasrallah said. “Once, the Yemeni President called us and we listened to him. Now, it’s our turn and we hope he would take the initiative because we know he’s able to.”

السيد نصرالله: سنسحق نصف جيش اسرائيل اذا هاجمتنا وفلسطين ملك للامة
موقع قناة المنار – محمد عبد الله / عدد القراء : 3588
18/09/2009 اكد الامين العام لحزب الله السيد حسن نصرالله ان المسألة الرئيسية في يوم القدس قبل كل العناوين والتفاصيل، هي الموقف من الإحتلال الصهيوني لأرض فلسطين وللأرض العربية التي ما زال يحتلها في الجولان وكفرشوبا. واشار الى ان الموقف من هذا الكيان الذي قام ونشأ على أساس هذا الإحتلال والإغتصاب، هو موقف واضح ومبدأ ثابت وهو ما نعبر عنه دائما في يوم القدس بمعزل عن اختلاف الآراء لأن الحق حق ويجب أن يقال والباطل باطل ويجب أن يواجه”.
وفي كلمة له في الاحتفال الجماهيري الذي اقامه حزب الله في مجمع سيد الشهداء في الضاحية الجنوبية لبيروت اكد سماحته أن فلسطين من البحر إلى النهر هي ملك الأمة والشعب الفلسطيني وليس للصهاينة أي حق بهذه الأرض، وقال: “حاضرون للمناقشة في ذلك إستناداً إلى الكتب السماوية وحتى استناداً إلى الكتاب المقدس والعهد القديم واستناداً إلى سيرة العقلاء من البشر”.
واوضح الامين العام لحزب الله ان يوم القدس هو يوم الفلسطينيين في القدس وفي الشتات هويوم غزة هو يوم المقاومة الفلسطينية والعربية والاسلامية، يوم كل مقاوم وممانع بوجه مشروع اسرائيل وهو يوم تذكير الامة بمسؤولياتها الاسلامية والدينية والانسانية

وشدد سماحته في كلمته على ان يوم القدس هو من أكثر القضايا التي تركها الامام الخميني الراحل من إرثه المبارك العظيم والجليل، لان يوم القدس بما فيها ومن فيها من مقدسات اسلامية ومسيحية وهي مهددة.
الامين العام لحزب شدد على ان الكيان الاسرائيلي القائم على ارض فلسطين هو غاصب وعدواني وسرطاني وغير شرعي وغير قانوني ولا يجوز لاي كان ان يعترف بهذا الكيان الاعتراف به وبشرعيته وبوجوده، واشار الى ان التعامل والتطبيع مع اسرائيل حرام وهذا ما اجمع عليه المسلمون هذه المبادىء لا يغيرها الزمان ولا الظروف ولا الاحوال ولا القوة على الإطلاق .
واعلن سماحته وبشكل واضح ان فلسطين التاريخية هي لشعب فلسطين وللأمة، وانه لا يجوز لأحد، أي كان، فلسطيني أو عربي أو مسلم أو مسيحي ومهما ادعى من شرعية تمثيل، لا يحق لأحد ان يتنازل عن حبة تراب من فلسطين ولا عن حرف واحد من إسم فلسطين.

وقال الامين العام لحزب الله: “عندما يتحدث البعض عن العجز قد يقول البعض أننا عاجزون عن تحرير فلسطين في الظروف الحالية أو عاجزين عن فعل أي شيء، عن الحرب عن مقاومة عن انتفاضة ولكننا لسنا مجبرين على الإستسلام للعدو وأن نوقع له صك ملكية وسيطرة قانونية على خيراتنا فلا يستطيع أحد أن يفرض علينا ذلك فهذا موقف أمة، هذه هي أمتنا منذ أكثر من 60 عاما العالم كله يضغط للتطبيع مع إسرائيل ولم يستطع أن يفرض علينا ذلك وحتى الدول التي وقعت اتفاقية مع إسرائيل لم تتمكن من إقناع شعوبها بذلك”.
واكد السيد نصرالله بالقول: “نحن اليوم لسنا عاجزين ولا ضعفاء وباسمكم اقول نحن كجزء من هذه الامة اللهم اشهد بشهرك وايامك ولياليك نحن لن نعترف باسرائيل ولن نطبع مع اسرائيل ولن نستسلم لاسرائيل حتى ولو اعترف بها كل العالم. سيبقى إيماننا واعتقادنا وإعلاننا أن إسرائيل غدة سرطانية ويجب أن تزول من الوجود”.

السيد نصرالله شدد في كلمته على ان لبنان، البلد الذي يعيش فيه منذ نشأته ظروفاً صعبة، وتركيبته معقدة ووضعه صعب، بالإضافة إلى الإحتلالات والحروب والإصطفافات، لبنان الذي فيه مشاكل وعلل لم يتنازل إلى إسرائيل، لا لبنان الرسمي ولا لبنان الشعبي، وحتى هذه اللحظة لبنان لم يتنازل عن نقطة ما ولا عن حبة تراب لإسرائيل. وقال: “نعم ّ! حصلت محاولة يتيمة أجهضت بسرعة وهي اتفاقية 17 أيار، لا نريد أن نستسلم، قد لا نقيم حرباً لتحرير تلال كفرشوبا ولكننا لن نتنازل عن حقوقنا”.

السيد نصر الله اعتبر ان النظام العربي المسؤول اقتصاديا وسياسيا يستطيع ان يصمد لانه يستند الى القانون ويستطيع ان يبقى صامداً، وشدد بالقول : “ليست المسألة أننا موضوعين أمام خيارين: إما أن نحارب أو نستسلم، هنالك خيار ثالث وهو خيار الصمود والممانعة والمقاومة ونعمل على امتلاك القدرة وننتظر المتغيرات”.

وتابع سماحته : “عندما نتحدث عن الخيارات، اليوم نحن أمام خيار التفاوض، مسار المفاوضات بعد كل هذه السنوات هو عقيم وأدى إلى مزيد من التنازل والتفريط بالحقوق دون مقابل، والسيد ميتشل بلغ الفلسطينين اليوم أنه فشل في إقناع نتانياهو بتجميد الإستيطان وهذا فيه فرضيتين: العجز الأميركي (وأنا لا أصدق ذلك)، فإذا كانت الإدارة الأميركية عاجزة هل تعولون على عاجز؟ كيف ستعطي حدا أدنى من الحقوق للفلسطينيين؟ والفرضية الثانية هي الإحتيال (وأؤيد ذلك)، فهذا هو إذا مسار التفاوض، والخيارات الثانية هو ما كان يحكى فيه في العقود الماضية وهو إعلان حرب عربية شاملة ولتفتح كل الجبهات ولنقتحم فلسطين من كل بواباتها، هذا كلام جميل ولكن من لا يريد أن يقاتل يبدو أنه يكبر الحجر، فإذا يجدر بنا أن ننتظر أن تقتنع كل الأنظمة العربية بالحرب فهذا يستلزم مئات السنين. فلنضع خيار الحرب الشاملة “على جنب” لأنه لا يبدو أنه في متناول اليد، وأقول لكم، عندما نسمع أحد يقول: فلتفتح كل الجبهات لنقاتل فهو يبحث عن حجة لعدم الدخول في قتال”.

وتابع الامين العام لحزب الله الاشارة الى ان سوريا ومنذ 1967 لا تفتح جبهة مع اسرائيل وان ذلك له ظروفه ، وقال “ولكن ما لا يجوز تجاوزه ان سوريا وبالرغم من الحصار والعقوبات والعزل والمؤامرات واصعب الظروف وخصوصاً في السنوات الاخيرة واحتلال العراق يسجل للقيادة في سوريا انها لم تتنازل عن حبة تراب من ارض سوريا وعن قطرة ماء“.

السيد نصر الله اعتبر ان النظام العربي المسؤول اقتصاديا وسياسيا يستطيع ان يصمد لانه يستند الى القانون ويستطيع ان يبقى صامداً، وشدد بالقول : “ليست المسألة أننا موضوعين أمام خيارين: إما أن نحارب أو نستسلم، هنالك خيار ثالث وهو خيار الصمود والممانعة والمقاومة ونعمل على امتلاك القدرة وننتظر المتغيرات”.

وتابع سماحته : “عندما نتحدث عن الخيارات، اليوم نحن أمام خيار التفاوض، مسار المفاوضات بعد كل هذه السنوات هو عقيم وأدى إلى مزيد من التنازل والتفريط بالحقوق دون مقابل، والسيد ميتشل بلغ الفلسطينين اليوم أنه فشل في إقناع نتانياهو بتجميد الإستيطان وهذا فيه فرضيتين: العجز الأميركي (وأنا لا أصدق ذلك)، فإذا كانت الإدارة الأميركية عاجزة هل تعولون على عاجز؟ كيف ستعطي حدا أدنى من الحقوق للفلسطينيين؟ والفرضية الثانية هي الإحتيال (وأؤيد ذلك)، فهذا هو إذا مسار التفاوض، والخيارات الثانية هو ما كان يحكى فيه في العقود الماضية وهو إعلان حرب عربية شاملة ولتفتح كل الجبهات ولنقتحم فلسطين من كل بواباتها، هذا كلام جميل ولكن من لا يريد أن يقاتل يبدو أنه يكبر الحجر، فإذا يجدر بنا أن ننتظر أن تقتنع كل الأنظمة العربية بالحرب فهذا يستلزم مئات السنين. فلنضع خيار الحرب الشاملة “على جنب” لأنه لا يبدو أنه في متناول اليد، وأقول لكم، عندما نسمع أحد يقول: فلتفتح كل الجبهات لنقاتل فهو يبحث عن حجة لعدم الدخول في قتال”.

الامين العام لحزب الله اعتبر ان لبنان الذي اجتاحته اسرائيل عام 82 لو انتظرنا العرب لكانت اسرائيل ما تزال محتلة لكل المدن اللبنانية من دون استثناء، ولكنه اشار الى ان الخيار الاخير والذي نريده هو الممانعة والصمود والمقاومة الشعبية، معتبراً ان العقد الاخير هو اصعب عشر سنوات مرت على اسرائيل بوجود دول ممانعة ومقاومة في لبنان وفلسطين وهذا انتج خروج اسرائيلي من لبنان وهزيمة كبيرة للجيش الاسرائيلي عام 2000.

وتابع بالقول: “اسرائيل كانت ضائعة بعد انتفاضة الاقصى وتضحيات الفلسطينيين وبعدها اتت الهزيمة من غزة وبعدها حرب تموز ال 2006 والتي هزت اركان اساسية بوجود اسرائيل من خلال امكانية جيشه وهذا الخيار الذي نتحدث عنه وهو صحيح لانه ادى ما عليه والتجربة اثبتت صحة هذا الخيار يعني اننا نستطيع ان نستعيد ارضنا بالمقاومة بدليل اننا انتصرنا في لبنان وفي حرب غزة، يعني اننا انستطيع ان نفشل مخططات اسرائيل للمنطقة وقد افشلناها في حرب تموز وحرب غزة”.

واذا اكد السيد نصرالله على اننا لسنا بحاجة لفتح جبهات، اعتبر ان الإستراتيجية الصحيحة هي التالية: “حافظوا على المقاومة الموجودة في لبنان “وحلوا عنها”، وهذا الكلام ليس للبنانيين لأن أغلبهم يؤيدون المقاومة ولكنني أقصد البعض في لبنان وبعض الدول العربية الذين لهم ما لهم منذ حرب تموز وما قبلها وما بعدها،

ودعا السيد نصرالله الدول العربية الى دعم الشعب الفلسطيني والمقاومة في فلسطين ومساعدتهم على البقاء في أرضهم، والى فك الحصار عنهم، وقال: “لا تعطوهم سلاحا ولكن اتركوهم يهربوا السلاح، وإذا لا تريردون أن تدعموا فلسطين إيران تدعم فلسطين وأحمدي نجاد “ما فرقانة معو شي”، اجمعوا صفوف الفلسطينيين وصالحهوهم، إلى فلسطين يعبر سلاح الفتنة والإقتتال الداخلي أما السلاح لقتال الصهاينة فيصادر، لا تزودوا إسرائيل معلومات عن أنفاق فلسطين وقياداتها وأماكن قيادتهم، وكما قلت في حرب تموز: شو بدنا بالقادة العرب، حلو عننا! وهكذا أقول أيضاً للقادة العرب “إما ادعموا الشعب الفلسطيني أو حلوا عنهم“.

واوضح السيد نصرالله ان الشعب الفلسطيني اذا ترك وفك عنه الحصار ودعم وتمت مساعدته يملك من الطاقات والقيادات والشجاعة والاخلاص والارادة ما يمكنه ان يستعيد بيت المقدس لكل الأمة. وقال سماحته: “لا يحتاج الى جيوشكم ولا لجهاتكم ولا لجبهتنا نحن ايضاً، صحيح ان الظروف صعبة وخاصة الظروف العربية، ولكن اؤكد لكم ان اسرائيل ظروفها اصعب واتعس وهي قبل حرب تموز غير بعد هزيمة تموز وقبل حرب غزة غير بعد حرب غزة وهي تناور وتعمل ليل نهار لانها خائفة“.

واذا سلم سماحته بمبدأ أن إسرائيل قد تقوم بحرب على لبنان قال: “نحن لا نريد هذه الحرب، وهل أردناها في الـ1982؟ كلاّ، ولا أدري ما هي الحجة التي قد يأخذوها للقيام بحرب ضد لبنان، ولكن إذا هاجمت إسرائيل لبنان علينا أن نحول التهديد إلى فرصة، سيأتون بـ6 فرق خارج فلسطين إلى أرضنا وإذا تمكننا من سحقه وتدميره وتشتيته فأي مستقبل لإسرائيل في هذه المنطقة؟ عندما أقول أن الحرب المقبلة ستغير وجه المنطقة قالوا: السيد حسن يمتلك النووي ولكن هذا غير صحيح فاستخدام هذا السلاح حرام شرعاً، إذا حطمنا الجيش الإسرائيلي وإذا كسرنا هذا الجيش وسندمره ان شاء الله أي مستقبل لإسرائيل، يمكن يومها لا نحتاج عسكر للوصول الى بنت جبيل عام 2000. عندما انهارت جيوشهم ووصلنا لهم مدنيا واذا حطم الجيش الاسرائيلي في لبنان وهو ليس ببعيد ان نذهب بالباصات والفانات الى بيت المقدس كما فعلنا عام 2000 وهذا حقيقة ووقائع ومجريات حاضر تاريخ ماضي وأفق.

السيد نصرالله دعا في يوم القدس كل الحكومات العربية والإسلامية وجميع الشعوب العربية والإسلامية إلى التزام خيار الممانعة ورفض التسليم والخضوع والى التخلي عن مشاعر الضعف والدونية، وقال: “نحن أيها الناس خير أمة أخرجت للناس، ليس بالعنصر ولا بالدم بل لأننا أمة الجهاد وعمل الخير.

وتحدث الامين العام لحزب الله عن الاخطار المحدقة الذي يتعرض له المسجد الاقصى والذي يحتاج لمساعدة من الأمة والحفر تحته وهو تم الـتاكد منه، وقال: “قد نستيقظ في يوم من الايام وقد إنهار المسجد الاقصى، من من المسلمين قد يتحمل هذا الامر وأية أمة وتنام ومسرى نبيها وقبلتها الاولى معرضة للتدمير والانخساف في اي لحظة”.
الامين العام لحزب الله قال: “الا يستحق ان يجتمع علماء المسلمين ان يأخذوا موقفاً واضحاً ويوجهوا كلامهم للحكام والشعوب والجيوش ويقولوا للصهاينة ان المس بالمسجد الاقصى سيؤدي لأحداث وردات فعل لا يمكن توقعها على الاطلاق وسيخرج عن اي حسابات محلية واقليمية ويجب ان يسمعوا كلاماً واضحاً كي يوقفوا ظلمهم. ألم يكن هنالك العديد من العائلات المقدسية تفطر بالشارع لأنها أخرجت من بيوتها بغير حق، الم تحرك هذه الأمور قلوب الصائمين؟ يجب دعم العائلات المقدسية وهذا ملف لا يجوز التهاون فيه”.

الامين العام لحزب الله اعتبر يوم القدس هو يوم العرب وما يزال لدينا بينهم مفقودين وأسرى ومن بينهم يحيى سكاف، وتسائل كيف ان كل العالم يعرف رون أراد؟ والأسيرين اللذين كانا عندنا
وكيف ان الاف الاسرى الفلسطينيين منسيون ولا احدى يعرف اسماؤهم، وقال : “لماذا نحن سنبقى ارقاماً وهم اسماء وهم شوية “شلعوطين ونص” شذاذ افاق اليس هذا اهانة لـ”العباية والعقال والتيجان والملوك”. واعتبر ان يوم القدس مناسبة للتذكير بأنه علينا القيام بشيء ما لأجل ملف الأسرى.

وفي موضوع اللاجئين الفلسطينيين في لبنان، اكد سماحته على وتثبيت حق العودة مشيراً الى ان المخاوف من التوطين موجودة، واعتبر انه إذا فرض التوطين فهذا مؤامرة على فلسطين قبل أن يكون على لبنان وهو على حساب ضياع فلسطين.

وشدد السيد نصرالله على ان حق العودة، هو حق للفلسطينيين بالعودة إلى ديارهم، وان الحقوق المدنية الفلسطينية في لبنان هي من ثوابت يوم القدس ويمكن التفكير فيها بحكمة دون الإنزلاق في التوطين”.

الموضوع الايراني

وحول الموضوع الايراني قال سماحته: “سأتكلم عن ايران فمنذ ان انتصرت الثورة الاسلامية فيها حوربت لانها تبنت القضايا الاساسية للأمة ودققوا لماذا عندما كانت ايران شرطي الخليج في عهد الشاه كان كل العرب يحبوها وهذا واضح لانها دعمت حركات المقاومة وحقوق الشعوب الاسلامية المستضعفة، واحمدي نجاد يحيي كلام الامام الخميني لان ايران سند كبير للشعب العربي والفلسطيني وتتعرض للتشويه من الحكومات العربية والفضائيات العربية وذنبها انها تقف الى جانب حقوق الشعب الفلسطيني والمقاومة والان ان تخلت عن هذه سيلجأ الجميع اليها لانها تدفع ثمن وقوفها مع المستضعفين فشلوا في حربهم على نظام ايران كما فشلوا في تموز وفي غزة وهذا المحور الذي نفتخر بالانتماء اليه لن يهزم.

وتابع الامين العام لحزب الله القول: “إيران خرجت اليوم لتقول لكل العالم الذي كان ينتظر انهيارها، خرجت لتقول نحن مع القدس وفلسطين ولبنان وغزة ونحن مع “يجب أن تزول إسرائيل من الوجود” وأنا أعرف إيران وأعرف قائدها الحكيم والشجاع وأعرف شعبها وقياداتها وأقول لكم أنها لا يمكن أن تتخلى لا عن شعوب المقاومة في المنطقة ومسألة فلسطين هي دينهم، ومن يراهن على إخراج إيران من هذه الساحة هو واهم، وأتوجه بالشكر باسم كل المقاومين والشهداء والمؤمنين بالمقاومة لسماحة الإمام علي الخامنئي دام ذكره الشريف وعلى ايران على كل الدعم السياسي والمعنوي والمادية والمالية وعلى كل صعيد. هذا مفخرة لإيران تعتز به أمام كل العالم، فهذه الأمة ليست بمفردها بل نملك الكثير من عناصر القوة.

ان أخطر مرحلة عبرناها وهي مرحلة بوش. واليوم اسرائيل والولايات المتحدة في وضع سيء، فلماذا تخلى الأميركيين عن الدرع الصاروخي في اوروبا؟ لأنهم اكتشفوا أن ايران لا تشكل بصواريخها تهديداً؟ لا بل لأنهم يعانون من مشاكل مادية بسبب الأزمة المالية
الاحداث في اليمن

وناشد الامين لحزب الله الرئيس اليمني علي عبد الله صالح بالقول: الله بأهلك وشعبك ولا دخل لي في التفاصيل ولكن “فلتبادر لوقف نزف الشعب وفتح الباب السياسي ولوقف اطلاق النار”، في يوم من الأيام أصغينا لك وأكرمناك اليوم نناشدك بأن تأمر بوقف القتال. وقد اعتبر السد نصرالله ان ما يجري في اليمن مؤلم ومحزن جداً ولا أريد ان أدخل في الأوضاع الداخلية لأي بلد.
الشأن اللبناني الداخلي

وقال الامين العام لحزب الله في الموضوع اللبناني : “كل واحد منا عمل بحقه الدستوري الحريري فعل الذي يعتبره حقه ونحن لم نسي الحريري ليس لقحط في الرجال وكان بإمكاننا ان نسمي اي قائد سني ولكننا لم نفعل ذلك لان ذلك يعتبر نوع من التشنج للرئيس الذي تسميه الاكثرية وهذا من باب الايجابية وقلنا اننا جاهزون للحوار والتعاون واريد ان اقول لا احد ياخذ البلد لتوتر مذهبي وطائفي وامني وسياسي فنحن جربنا وكلنا خسرنا لان الأزقة والزواريب نخسر بها والخطاب المذهبي سيف ذوحدين والحريري يستطيع ان يتشاور بعد رجوعه للبنان وفق المسار القانوني والدستوري وعلينا الهدوء والتروي فأن نصل متاخرين خير من ان لا نصل فالـتأخير خير من اخذ البلد الى المجهول وانا اؤمن انه بالهدوء سنتخطى هذه الازمة.

Sayyed Nasrallah: Recognizing Israel’s Existence Is Forbidden

18/09/2009 Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah reiterated on Friday that Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people and not to the Zionist entity, stressing that recognizing Israel’s existence is forbidden and calling on all Arab and Islamic governments and people to adopt the choice of stead fasting in the face of the Israeli enemy.

Sayyed Nasrallah was speaking through a large TV screen during a festival organized by Hezbollah at Beirut’s southern suburb to commemorate Al-Quds day.

18/09/2009 اكد الامين العام لحزب الله السيد حسن نصرالله ان المسألة الرئيسية في يوم القدس قبل كل العناوين والتفاصيل، هي الموقف من الإحتلال الصهيوني لأرض فلسطين وللأرض العربية التي ما زال يحتلها في الجولان وكفرشوبا. واشار الى ان الموقف من هذا الكيان الذي قام ونشأ على أساس هذا الإحتلال والإغتصاب، هو موقف واضح ومبدأ ثابت وهو ما نعبر عنه دائما في يوم القدس بمعزل عن اختلاف الآراء لأن الحق حق ويجب أن يقال والباطل باطل ويجب أن يواجه”.

وقال الامين العام لحزب الله: “عندما يتحدث البعض عن العجز قد يقول البعض أننا عاجزون عن تحرير فلسطين في الظروف الحالية أو عاجزين عن فعل أي شيء، عن الحرب عن مقاومة عن انتفاضة ولكننا لسنا مجبرين على الإستسلام للعدو وأن نوقع له صك ملكية وسيطرة قانونية على خيراتنا فلا يستطيع أحد أن يفرض علينا ذلك فهذا موقف أمة، هذه هي أمتنا منذ أكثر من 60 عاما العالم كله يضغط للتطبيع مع إسرائيل ولم يستطع أن يفرض علينا ذلك وحتى الدول التي وقعت اتفاقية مع إسرائيل لم تتمكن من إقناع شعوبها بذلك”.
واكد السيد نصرالله بالقول: “نحن اليوم لسنا عاجزين ولا ضعفاء وباسمكم اقول نحن كجزء من هذه الامة اللهم اشهد بشهرك وايامك ولياليك نحن لن نعترف باسرائيل ولن نطبع مع اسرائيل ولن نستسلم لاسرائيل حتى ولو اعترف بها كل العالم. سيبقى إيماننا واعتقادنا وإعلاننا أن إسرائيل غدة سرطانية ويجب أن تزول من الوجود”.

السيد نصرالله شدد في كلمته على ان لبنان، البلد الذي يعيش فيه منذ نشأته ظروفاً صعبة، وتركيبته معقدة ووضعه صعب، بالإضافة إلى الإحتلالات والحروب والإصطفافات، لبنان الذي فيه مشاكل وعلل لم يتنازل إلى إسرائيل، لا لبنان الرسمي ولا لبنان الشعبي، وحتى هذه اللحظة لبنان لم يتنازل عن نقطة ما ولا عن حبة تراب لإسرائيل. وقال: “نعم ّ! حصلت محاولة يتيمة أجهضت بسرعة وهي اتفاقية 17 أيار، لا نريد أن نستسلم، قد لا نقيم حرباً لتحرير تلال كفرشوبا ولكننا لن نتنازل عن حقوقنا”.

السيد نصر الله اعتبر ان النظام العربي المسؤول اقتصاديا وسياسيا يستطيع ان يصمد لانه يستند الى القانون ويستطيع ان يبقى صامداً، وشدد بالقول : “ليست المسألة أننا موضوعين أمام خيارين: إما أن نحارب أو نستسلم، هنالك خيار ثالث وهو خيار الصمود والممانعة والمقاومة ونعمل على امتلاك القدرة وننتظر المتغيرات”.

وتابع سماحته : “عندما نتحدث عن الخيارات، اليوم نحن أمام خيار التفاوض، مسار المفاوضات بعد كل هذه السنوات هو عقيم وأدى إلى مزيد من التنازل والتفريط بالحقوق دون مقابل، والسيد ميتشل بلغ الفلسطينين اليوم أنه فشل في إقناع نتانياهو بتجميد الإستيطان وهذا فيه فرضيتين: العجز الأميركي (وأنا لا أصدق ذلك)، فإذا كانت الإدارة الأميركية عاجزة هل تعولون على عاجز؟ كيف ستعطي حدا أدنى من الحقوق للفلسطينيين؟ والفرضية الثانية هي الإحتيال (وأؤيد ذلك)، فهذا هو إذا مسار التفاوض، والخيارات الثانية هو ما كان يحكى فيه في العقود الماضية وهو إعلان حرب عربية شاملة ولتفتح كل الجبهات ولنقتحم فلسطين من كل بواباتها، هذا كلام جميل ولكن من لا يريد أن يقاتل يبدو أنه يكبر الحجر، فإذا يجدر بنا أن ننتظر أن تقتنع كل الأنظمة العربية بالحرب فهذا يستلزم مئات السنين. فلنضع خيار الحرب الشاملة “على جنب” لأنه لا يبدو أنه في متناول اليد، وأقول لكم، عندما نسمع أحد يقول: فلتفتح كل الجبهات لنقاتل فهو يبحث عن حجة لعدم الدخول في قتال”.

وتابع الامين العام لحزب الله الاشارة الى ان سوريا ومنذ 1967 لا تفتح جبهة مع اسرائيل وان ذلك له ظروفه ، وقال “ولكن ما لا يجوز تجاوزه ان سوريا وبالرغم من الحصار والعقوبات والعزل والمؤامرات واصعب الظروف وخصوصاً في السنوات الاخيرة واحتلال العراق يسجل للقيادة في سوريا انها لم تتنازل عن حبة تراب من ارض سوريا وعن قطرة ماء“.

السيد نصر الله اعتبر ان النظام العربي المسؤول اقتصاديا وسياسيا يستطيع ان يصمد لانه يستند الى القانون ويستطيع ان يبقى صامداً، وشدد بالقول : “ليست المسألة أننا موضوعين أمام خيارين: إما أن نحارب أو نستسلم، هنالك خيار ثالث وهو خيار الصمود والممانعة والمقاومة ونعمل على امتلاك القدرة وننتظر المتغيرات”.

وتابع سماحته : “عندما نتحدث عن الخيارات، اليوم نحن أمام خيار التفاوض، مسار المفاوضات بعد كل هذه السنوات هو عقيم وأدى إلى مزيد من التنازل والتفريط بالحقوق دون مقابل، والسيد ميتشل بلغ الفلسطينين اليوم أنه فشل في إقناع نتانياهو بتجميد الإستيطان وهذا فيه فرضيتين: العجز الأميركي (وأنا لا أصدق ذلك)، فإذا كانت الإدارة الأميركية عاجزة هل تعولون على عاجز؟ كيف ستعطي حدا أدنى من الحقوق للفلسطينيين؟ والفرضية الثانية هي الإحتيال (وأؤيد ذلك)، فهذا هو إذا مسار التفاوض، والخيارات الثانية هو ما كان يحكى فيه في العقود الماضية وهو إعلان حرب عربية شاملة ولتفتح كل الجبهات ولنقتحم فلسطين من كل بواباتها، هذا كلام جميل ولكن من لا يريد أن يقاتل يبدو أنه يكبر الحجر، فإذا يجدر بنا أن ننتظر أن تقتنع كل الأنظمة العربية بالحرب فهذا يستلزم مئات السنين. فلنضع خيار الحرب الشاملة “على جنب” لأنه لا يبدو أنه في متناول اليد، وأقول لكم، عندما نسمع أحد يقول: فلتفتح كل الجبهات لنقاتل فهو يبحث عن حجة لعدم الدخول في قتال”.

الامين العام لحزب الله اعتبر ان لبنان الذي اجتاحته اسرائيل عام 82 لو انتظرنا العرب لكانت اسرائيل ما تزال محتلة لكل المدن اللبنانية من دون استثناء، ولكنه اشار الى ان الخيار الاخير والذي نريده هو الممانعة والصمود والمقاومة الشعبية، معتبراً ان العقد الاخير هو اصعب عشر سنوات مرت على اسرائيل بوجود دول ممانعة ومقاومة في لبنان وفلسطين وهذا انتج خروج اسرائيلي من لبنان وهزيمة كبيرة للجيش الاسرائيلي عام 2000.

وتابع بالقول: “اسرائيل كانت ضائعة بعد انتفاضة الاقصى وتضحيات الفلسطينيين وبعدها اتت الهزيمة من غزة وبعدها حرب تموز ال 2006 والتي هزت اركان اساسية بوجود اسرائيل من خلال امكانية جيشه وهذا الخيار الذي نتحدث عنه وهو صحيح لانه ادى ما عليه والتجربة اثبتت صحة هذا الخيار يعني اننا نستطيع ان نستعيد ارضنا بالمقاومة بدليل اننا انتصرنا في لبنان وفي حرب غزة، يعني اننا انستطيع ان نفشل مخططات اسرائيل للمنطقة وقد افشلناها في حرب تموز وحرب غزة”.

واذا اكد السيد نصرالله على اننا لسنا بحاجة لفتح جبهات، اعتبر ان الإستراتيجية الصحيحة هي التالية: “حافظوا على المقاومة الموجودة في لبنان “وحلوا عنها”، وهذا الكلام ليس للبنانيين لأن أغلبهم يؤيدون المقاومة ولكنني أقصد البعض في لبنان وبعض الدول العربية الذين لهم ما لهم منذ حرب تموز وما قبلها وما بعدها،

ودعا السيد نصرالله الدول العربية الى دعم الشعب الفلسطيني والمقاومة في فلسطين ومساعدتهم على البقاء في أرضهم، والى فك الحصار عنهم، وقال: “لا تعطوهم سلاحا ولكن اتركوهم يهربوا السلاح، وإذا لا تريردون أن تدعموا فلسطين إيران تدعم فلسطين وأحمدي نجاد “ما فرقانة معو شي”، اجمعوا صفوف الفلسطينيين وصالحهوهم، إلى فلسطين يعبر سلاح الفتنة والإقتتال الداخلي أما السلاح لقتال الصهاينة فيصادر، لا تزودوا إسرائيل معلومات عن أنفاق فلسطين وقياداتها وأماكن قيادتهم، وكما قلت في حرب تموز: شو بدنا بالقادة العرب، حلو عننا! وهكذا أقول أيضاً للقادة العرب “إما ادعموا الشعب الفلسطيني أو حلوا عنهم“.

واوضح السيد نصرالله ان الشعب الفلسطيني اذا ترك وفك عنه الحصار ودعم وتمت مساعدته يملك من الطاقات والقيادات والشجاعة والاخلاص والارادة ما يمكنه ان يستعيد بيت المقدس لكل الأمة. وقال سماحته: “لا يحتاج الى جيوشكم ولا لجهاتكم ولا لجبهتنا نحن ايضاً، صحيح ان الظروف صعبة وخاصة الظروف العربية، ولكن اؤكد لكم ان اسرائيل ظروفها اصعب واتعس وهي قبل حرب تموز غير بعد هزيمة تموز وقبل حرب غزة غير بعد حرب غزة وهي تناور وتعمل ليل نهار لانها خائفة“.

واذا سلم سماحته بمبدأ أن إسرائيل قد تقوم بحرب على لبنان قال: “نحن لا نريد هذه الحرب، وهل أردناها في الـ1982؟ كلاّ، ولا أدري ما هي الحجة التي قد يأخذوها للقيام بحرب ضد لبنان، ولكن إذا هاجمت إسرائيل لبنان علينا أن نحول التهديد إلى فرصة، سيأتون بـ6 فرق خارج فلسطين إلى أرضنا وإذا تمكننا من سحقه وتدميره وتشتيته فأي مستقبل لإسرائيل في هذه المنطقة؟ عندما أقول أن الحرب المقبلة ستغير وجه المنطقة قالوا: السيد حسن يمتلك النووي ولكن هذا غير صحيح فاستخدام هذا السلاح حرام شرعاً، إذا حطمنا الجيش الإسرائيلي وإذا كسرنا هذا الجيش وسندمره ان شاء الله أي مستقبل لإسرائيل، يمكن يومها لا نحتاج عسكر للوصول الى بنت جبيل عام 2000. عندما انهارت جيوشهم ووصلنا لهم مدنيا واذا حطم الجيش الاسرائيلي في لبنان وهو ليس ببعيد ان نذهب بالباصات والفانات الى بيت المقدس كما فعلنا عام 2000 وهذا حقيقة ووقائع ومجريات حاضر تاريخ ماضي وأفق.

السيد نصرالله دعا في يوم القدس كل الحكومات العربية والإسلامية وجميع الشعوب العربية والإسلامية إلى التزام خيار الممانعة ورفض التسليم والخضوع والى التخلي عن مشاعر الضعف والدونية، وقال: “نحن أيها الناس خير أمة أخرجت للناس، ليس بالعنصر ولا بالدم بل لأننا أمة الجهاد وعمل الخير.

وتحدث الامين العام لحزب الله عن الاخطار المحدقة الذي يتعرض له المسجد الاقصى والذي يحتاج لمساعدة من الأمة والحفر تحته وهو تم الـتاكد منه، وقال: “قد نستيقظ في يوم من الايام وقد إنهار المسجد الاقصى، من من المسلمين قد يتحمل هذا الامر وأية أمة وتنام ومسرى نبيها وقبلتها الاولى معرضة للتدمير والانخساف في اي لحظة”.
الامين العام لحزب الله قال: “الا يستحق ان يجتمع علماء المسلمين ان يأخذوا موقفاً واضحاً ويوجهوا كلامهم للحكام والشعوب والجيوش ويقولوا للصهاينة ان المس بالمسجد الاقصى سيؤدي لأحداث وردات فعل لا يمكن توقعها على الاطلاق وسيخرج عن اي حسابات محلية واقليمية ويجب ان يسمعوا كلاماً واضحاً كي يوقفوا ظلمهم. ألم يكن هنالك العديد من العائلات المقدسية تفطر بالشارع لأنها أخرجت من بيوتها بغير حق، الم تحرك هذه الأمور قلوب الصائمين؟ يجب دعم العائلات المقدسية وهذا ملف لا يجوز التهاون فيه”.

الامين العام لحزب الله اعتبر يوم القدس هو يوم العرب وما يزال لدينا بينهم مفقودين وأسرى ومن بينهم يحيى سكاف، وتسائل كيف ان كل العالم يعرف رون أراد؟ والأسيرين اللذين كانا عندنا
وكيف ان الاف الاسرى الفلسطينيين منسيون ولا احدى يعرف اسماؤهم، وقال : “لماذا نحن سنبقى ارقاماً وهم اسماء وهم شوية “شلعوطين ونص” شذاذ افاق اليس هذا اهانة لـ”العباية والعقال والتيجان والملوك”. واعتبر ان يوم القدس مناسبة للتذكير بأنه علينا القيام بشيء ما لأجل ملف الأسرى.

وفي موضوع اللاجئين الفلسطينيين في لبنان، اكد سماحته على وتثبيت حق العودة مشيراً الى ان المخاوف من التوطين موجودة، واعتبر انه إذا فرض التوطين فهذا مؤامرة على فلسطين قبل أن يكون على لبنان وهو على حساب ضياع فلسطين.

وشدد السيد نصرالله على ان حق العودة، هو حق للفلسطينيين بالعودة إلى ديارهم، وان الحقوق المدنية الفلسطينية في لبنان هي من ثوابت يوم القدس ويمكن التفكير فيها بحكمة دون الإنزلاق في التوطين”.

الموضوع الايراني

وحول الموضوع الايراني قال سماحته: “سأتكلم عن ايران فمنذ ان انتصرت الثورة الاسلامية فيها حوربت لانها تبنت القضايا الاساسية للأمة ودققوا لماذا عندما كانت ايران شرطي الخليج في عهد الشاه كان كل العرب يحبوها وهذا واضح لانها دعمت حركات المقاومة وحقوق الشعوب الاسلامية المستضعفة، واحمدي نجاد يحيي كلام الامام الخميني لان ايران سند كبير للشعب العربي والفلسطيني وتتعرض للتشويه من الحكومات العربية والفضائيات العربية وذنبها انها تقف الى جانب حقوق الشعب الفلسطيني والمقاومة والان ان تخلت عن هذه سيلجأ الجميع اليها لانها تدفع ثمن وقوفها مع المستضعفين فشلوا في حربهم على نظام ايران كما فشلوا في تموز وفي غزة وهذا المحور الذي نفتخر بالانتماء اليه لن يهزم.

وتابع الامين العام لحزب الله القول: “إيران خرجت اليوم لتقول لكل العالم الذي كان ينتظر انهيارها، خرجت لتقول نحن مع القدس وفلسطين ولبنان وغزة ونحن مع “يجب أن تزول إسرائيل من الوجود” وأنا أعرف إيران وأعرف قائدها الحكيم والشجاع وأعرف شعبها وقياداتها وأقول لكم أنها لا يمكن أن تتخلى لا عن شعوب المقاومة في المنطقة ومسألة فلسطين هي دينهم، ومن يراهن على إخراج إيران من هذه الساحة هو واهم، وأتوجه بالشكر باسم كل المقاومين والشهداء والمؤمنين بالمقاومة لسماحة الإمام علي الخامنئي دام ذكره الشريف وعلى ايران على كل الدعم السياسي والمعنوي والمادية والمالية وعلى كل صعيد. هذا مفخرة لإيران تعتز به أمام كل العالم، فهذه الأمة ليست بمفردها بل نملك الكثير من عناصر القوة.

ان أخطر مرحلة عبرناها وهي مرحلة بوش. واليوم اسرائيل والولايات المتحدة في وضع سيء، فلماذا تخلى الأميركيين عن الدرع الصاروخي في اوروبا؟ لأنهم اكتشفوا أن ايران لا تشكل بصواريخها تهديداً؟ لا بل لأنهم يعانون من مشاكل مادية بسبب الأزمة المالية
الاحداث في اليمن

وناشد الامين لحزب الله الرئيس اليمني علي عبد الله صالح بالقول: الله بأهلك وشعبك ولا دخل لي في التفاصيل ولكن “فلتبادر لوقف نزف الشعب وفتح الباب السياسي ولوقف اطلاق النار”، في يوم من الأيام أصغينا لك وأكرمناك اليوم نناشدك بأن تأمر بوقف القتال. وقد اعتبر السد نصرالله ان ما يجري في اليمن مؤلم ومحزن جداً ولا أريد ان أدخل في الأوضاع الداخلية لأي بلد.
الشأن اللبناني الداخلي

وقال الامين العام لحزب الله في الموضوع اللبناني : “كل واحد منا عمل بحقه الدستوري الحريري فعل الذي يعتبره حقه ونحن لم نسي الحريري ليس لقحط في الرجال وكان بإمكاننا ان نسمي اي قائد سني ولكننا لم نفعل ذلك لان ذلك يعتبر نوع من التشنج للرئيس الذي تسميه الاكثرية وهذا من باب الايجابية وقلنا اننا جاهزون للحوار والتعاون واريد ان اقول لا احد ياخذ البلد لتوتر مذهبي وطائفي وامني وسياسي فنحن جربنا وكلنا خسرنا لان الأزقة والزواريب نخسر بها والخطاب المذهبي سيف ذوحدين والحريري يستطيع ان يتشاور بعد رجوعه للبنان وفق المسار القانوني والدستوري وعلينا الهدوء والتروي فأن نصل متاخرين خير من ان لا نصل فالـتأخير خير من اخذ البلد الى المجهول وانا اؤمن انه بالهدوء سنتخطى هذه الازمة.
