Analysis: Hizbullah Faces Hard Choices Between Fighting Israel, Sunnis

naharnet why do you keep calling these animals "resistance". they are terrorists, and calling them anything less than this is already beginning to whitewash them.

Also the zionists, are ISIS Nusras unoffical airforce, shooting down Syria planes, and pounding resistance targets around Syria.

Why do you stay on this site of you hate Naharnet? If you don't agree with their assessments, there's al-Akhbar and As Safir. Go post your terrorist propaganda on those sites, the thumb robots will favour you there...

(1). My dear Mystic, you said, "Such nonsense ya Naharnet", unquote. During WW2, Hitler said the same thing to his top advisers who told him that the allies were planning D Day then. When it came, it came rapidly and the rest we all know. Speaking for myself at least, I wish NO harm to Hezbollah, no harm either to you my Shiite siblings, or in fact to anyone Lebanese person. To extrapolate this further, it would be quite fair for me to say that many Lebanese share my sentiments over both HA and our Lebanese Shiite siblings. I believe that over the years this has been repeated and reiterated many many times, most sensible Lebanese only want a peace in Lebanon that would engulf and include all parties and all sects, HA and the Shiites included. Sadly, our calls and pleas have fallen on deaf ears, Hezbollah does not heed wisdom when it manifests itself, and why?

(2) Mystic. Because HA feels that it yields a lot of power and wants more influence and more power, even if at the expense of creating a profound wedge between it and the majority of the Lebanese. HA's intransigence coupled with its iron fisted hand over those that oppose its views and stances, is causing the radicalization of many in Lebanon, namely the Sunnis. The Sunnis of Lebanon have by and large remained moderate and this moderation has been the very backbone of Lebanese society. However things are changing, there's a growing number of Sunni youths, now joined bu Christian youths tht are taking the radical route, an this translates into many fields, all of which do not bode well for you at HA or for Lebanon as a whole.

(3). Mystic. In brief, Hezbollah's refusal to listen, to even talk with the moderates of Lebanon is indeed the very cradle from which radicalization is being fomented. M14 leaders have been killed one after the other, yet nothing seems to move whereas it comes to them, in sharp contrast, when it's an M8 one, namely a Hezbollah one, things move a lot faster and HA will even take the whole of Lebanon to war with a ruthless and cruel neighbor, why is the question? Hezbollah went to war in Syria, very much against the will and advise of most Lebanese, here again, the moderates, why? HA went to war in 2006 and conducts military operations as if only Hezbollah exists in this country, again, why?

(4). Mystic. You've been told that your meddling in Syria is actually attracting the Jihadist evils into Lebanon, yet you will always create a plethora of reasons to cover your role in Syria and God knows where else ya Mystic, typical HA line. If we object, we become branded as Zionists and traitors, OK, fine. Now even though people like you will refuse the fact most vehemently, that the war in Syria is bleeding Hezbollah and Iran more and more profusely, forget about the Assad regime, it is barely tethering on its two feet these days and despite all the help it is getting from several quarters. Even a child knows that Hezbollah is now facing growing concerns with every passing year. Here in Lebanon, it is facing a growing foe, as it does in Syria, now Israel is shaping up for its next encounter with HA, by default all of Lebanon.

(5). Mystic. If by reasonable calculation bringing in Iran's depleted income, as does Russia's, Hezbollah's growing woes abroad, everyone would have reason for concern over Hezbollah's predicament, both short and long run. What this article speaks of my dear dear brother, is not antagonism of any kind towards Hezbollah, or you our Shiite siblings, it is in my well-weighed view a warning of the eleventh hour, a ringing of the alarm bells both for HA and for the entire population of Lebanon. Lebanon remains till now without a president, have you by any chance checked the risks? We could be at war with Israel any moment now, have you checked the risks, forget the bombast, just ground touching reality, how well are we, or rather, how unwell are we?

(6). Mystic. Finally for now,there comes a time in our history, a time when our misfortunes should rally us Lebanese in unity, in closing the ranks, in rounding the wagons, in looking ahead as one people, looking towards the same direction, your option as Hezbollah remains with your Lebanese siblings, and as has been repeated, rejoin the fold, dispose of your weapons to the army, and continue as a party, and let's stand as one people again.

Mystic, you're right, no one can take Hezbollah away by force, and no one even remotely suggested the idea either. At the same time, Hezbollah can't either remove anyone by force in Lebanon, this is why people like me keep saying, dialog, dialog till we find a solution, and a solution can be found if Hezbollah is willing. You said that we need a president that is anti Takfiri and anti Israeli, well, all of our presidents fit the bill, but the one that fitted it best was Emile Lahoud, he sat for 2 terms and nothing has changed a bit. I do not wish to pour vinegar on an already sour issue, still, I am duty bound to float the fact that Hezbollah remains reticent and this despite all the efforts your political opponents have tabled to help bring about a solution.

Bustani, will you bless me for inflicting a psychological beatdown on Mystic?

Just like how the Nazis proved they can fight a two-front war...

You are admitting de facto, that the takfiris and zionists works together against the Resistance, good boy.

What unarmed civilians are those? The same salafi mercenaries on Mostaqbal payroll that is, the same people they later send into Syria, before the Resistance even intervened.

os stupidity innate or do you cultivate it?

Flamey stfu. Just last week you were making fun of someone for differentiating between Shia Islamism and Shia political Islamism. And here you are now differentiating between terrorism and "militantism" lmao that's not even a word.

To further point out your idiocy, Hamas is a branch of the Ikhwen, yet you listed the former as "militants" and the latter "terrorists."

Flamey, "militantism" is not a word, militarism is. "Militantism is underlined red as I type it. And "Khorasan" is some clandestine group in the Nusra Front, it is not its own entity.

Right, so how many Israeli soldiers have non-Palestinian Sunnis killed compared to Hezbollah? None you say?

Who, Nusra or ISIS?
