Report: Hizbullah Ups Number of Fighters in Syria after Iraq Turmoil
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah is mulling to increase the number of its fighters in the neighboring country Syria, the Saudi al-Watan daily reported on Sunday.
According to the newspaper, Hizbullah is seeking to cover-up for the shortage that is expected to occur due to the withdrawal of Iraqi fighters from Syria in order to participate in the fight against Sunni Arab militants who have seized a swathe of northern Iraq.
Iraqi commanders said on Saturday that soldiers had recaptured two towns north of Baghdad as thousands of volunteers answered a call to arms from top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has spearheaded a lightning offensive in Iraq this week that has seen militants sweep down from second city Mosul towards Baghdad.
A source told al-Watan daily that Hizbullah fighters were seen gearing up to enter Syria during the last two days.
Hizbullah has deployed thousands of fighters into neighboring Syria to back President Bashar Assad's army as he battles insurgents who have been trying to overthrow him for the past three years.
Hizbullah, a long-standing ally of both Iran, Syria, and Iraq says it is supporting Assad against Takfiris (Sunni extremists) who are targeting Syria's Alawite and Christian minorities.

I as well as many Lebanese wish and hope the terror party sends all its members, supporters, and sympathizers to neighboring Syria, Iraq, Nigeria, and Ukraine. The less of them here the cleaner and safer it is. Go perform your jihadist duties and let us perform our democratic life.

If the Islamic Republic of Iran cared about these young men, they would have invested in agricultural projects and factories in South Lebanon, Baalbek and Hermel. Instead they send them to their deaths, feeding them lies.
One time it is against Israel and the Great Satan, the US. The next day they are allied to the Great Satan and the Islamic Republic of Iran receives weapons from Israel.
Then it is against Takfiris whom they had harboured and trained in Iran and Syria.
Khamanei's regime and Assad's regime prime aim is to remain in power and rob these rich countries.

The Lebanese army is the protector of all Lebanese. Respecting it is in all our interests. Every Lebanese soldier and officer, including the head of the army, is a hero.

Hizbollah tactics: "When in trouble, then double."
More targets to hit for the Free Syrian Army. If I were their commander Ive would give those targets priority. It hurts Hezbollah more than it hurts the ordinary soldiers of Assad that cant ask "Why are we dying here in another country?"

these young brave men, do they usually smoke narguilleh and have 'ya ali' or zulfiqar tatoos ?
Do they sell captagon, grow hashish and steal cars ?
Do they try to kill their pregant wives ?
Do they sell expired food while calling themselves 'ahl bayt' lovers ?
Do they do mut3a for 1 hour ?

"According to a news agency today, Bolivia President Evo Morales
received an Iranian offer of a USD 200m loan for Bolivia's pharmaceutical, agriculture and telecoms industries at a meeting today with Iranian VP Eshagh Jahangir."
Why does the Islamic Republic of Iran send Lebanese Shiites to their deaths in Syria, instead of treating Lebanon like Bolivia and investing in our development? and why do some of us accept to donate their lives for the glovery of the Islamic Republic of Iran, why? for USD 500 per month?

the only gimps in Lebanon are fellow citizens who are too emotional and think that they know the truth.
Citizens who think that their leaders are always right.
Citizens who cannot argue a point with others in a civilized way.
Citizens who use insults and violence instead of rational thinking.
Those gimps are no Lebanese patriots but ugly Islamo fascist robots...

Agree. That is the result of the culture of extreme hate and extreme violence that has been fostered in the region since 1967.
Our civil war was as dirty.
A culture that says that you are the righteous people and everyone else deserves to serve you or die.
A culture where human beings are judged based on one's sect .
The Tutsis and Hutus massacred one another and the world, hundred of thousands died and the world did not react beyond speeches.
We are the new Tutsis and Hutus of the 21st century.

Instead of insulting each other and the brave men keeping these terrorists from entering our country, why don't you educate yourselves a bit:

Great so whatever Israel plans, the Arabs execute.
So Shlomo is sitting in his Kibutz and says: I want to divide Lebanon in 230 pieces and guess what will happen in 30 years?
Of course Israel always wanted to divide its enemy. That is basic. But Arab leaders are always happy to execute, starting with Saddam Hussein, Omar Al Bashir, Bashar Al Assad and soon Hassan Nasrallah.
Why does that work? Because those people are extremists that do not tolerate criticism. The world is black or white for them. They do not seek to build societies and nations based on tolerance, prosperity and peace. If they did they would not exist.
They seek tension, war, violence and blood.
The result has been sectarian fracture.

Take Lebanon as an example. The best thing that could happen to us is, as Jamil El Sayyed said, a federal state. Everyone will get what they want. A win-win solution.

In Lebanon we should found something similar:
The Hezbollah and Human Communication Institute (HHCI) is located on the campus of Central Baalbek, Bekaa Valley. CHCI included a sanctuary for Hezbollah chimpanzees who have learned to communicate with humans.
