Qassem: Lebanon Won't Tolerate Any Breach of Its Oil, Gas
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem stressed Wednesday that “Lebanon will not tolerate whatsoever any breach of its oil, gas, water or territory.”
Lebanon “will remain vigilant in order to regain its full rights, whatever it takes,” Qassem vowed.
He voiced Hizbullah’s support for “the national stance defending these maritime rights” and “the Lebanese government, in the steps and choices it will take to demarcate these borders.”
“We will not be frightened by the Israeli threats and we will not change our stance in adhering to our rights, and Israel knows that its threats against Lebanon are worthless, after the bitter experiences it went through in the face of Lebanon’s steadfastness and vigor,” Hizbullah number two said.
Addressing the thorny issue of the U.N.-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Qassem stressed that “there will be no exchange between justice and stability; in other words: we want justice and we want stability, and we don’t accept to separate between them or that one be at the expense of the other.”
Reiterating Hizbullah’s stance, Qassem added: “We consider the tribunal a part of the American-Israel plot, which will go on for years and years, and this tribunal has nothing to do with the assassinations, truth, justice or Lebanon’s future.”
Qassem also hit out at the Mustaqbal Movement without naming it. “We won’t stage a ‘day of anger’ … if some are betting that will be incited and provoked, then they are mistaken.”

Autant j'aimerai que le pétrole soit sur le territoire maritime libanais autant il est difficile d'admettre la réalité que ces réserves pétrolières et gazières -qui auraient pu relancer un pays moribond- ne sont pas sur notre territoire. Regardez la carte et le positionnement. Il revient aux palestiniens de réclamer ces gisements, à eux de se débrouiller avec l'État Hébreu. Nous, hamdillah, on peut compter sur les réserves de notre grand ami l'Ayatollah iranien et les saoudiens. Nous ne méritons rien d'autre que la dépendance. Les citoyens du Liban ne sont pas prêts pour mieux!

who made this freak the official spokesperson for Lebanon, the Lebanese government and its people. It is high time to ban all religious figures and fanatics from any political activities.
I think the media should partly be blamed since they cover these stupid stories.

This guy does not look like anything religious for god's sake. I sometimes use his photos to scare my neighbor. He looks like a heck of a criminal. There is no doubt in my mind that he is inbred. As for Hassan "eljardoun" like strider called him, he is Vitamin D deficient. Arythmia will set in, he will soon start feeling lightheaded, little by little spills will become more frequent leading a deep long coma I hope. I see dead people coming out of his hole.
