Qaouq: Saudi Money Can Buy Nations and Presidents but Not Hizbullah Silence
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah lashed out anew at Saudi Arabia on Sunday over its Arab-backed airstrikes against Yemen's Huthi rebels.
“Those who are waging an aggression against Yemen today have also mistaken their calculations and approach towards Hizbullah,” said Sheikh Nabil Qaouq, the deputy head of Hizbullah's Executive Council.
“They were betting on our silence and on neutralizing us, but they failed to realize that we do not fear threats and that we cannot be sold or bought,” Qaouq added.
He noted that “Saudi money” can buy “countries, the U.N. Security Council, presidents, princes and ministers” but “cannot purchase Hizbullah's silence.”
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and other party officials have been locked in a war of words with Saudi Arabia over the military operation in Yemen.
The tensions flared up after Riyadh began airstrikes against Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels. The air campaign, launched in late March, is aimed at defeating the rebels and restoring power to President Abderabbo Mansour Hadi.
“Saudi Arabia can threaten figures, dignitaries, scholars and Arab countries, but it cannot threaten the resistance,” Qaouq went on to say.
“Their problem with us is that we cannot be bought or sold and we do not fear intimidation. It also lies in the growing role, status and influence of Hizbullah in the region's equations,” he added.
“Another problem with us is that what they fear the most in the Arab world are the words, speeches and surprises of the Sayyed of the resistance -- Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah,” Qaouq noted.

Very funny: “They were betting on our silence and on neutralizing us, but they failed to realize that we do not fear threats and that we cannot be sold or bought,” Qaouq added.
Let's analyze this a little bit further:
Betting on our silence: Your words hurt sooooo much, Saudi Arabia decided to stop bombing the s*it out of Huthis. Oh, wait...
Neutralizing us: Not only are they neutralizing you in Yemen, they basically put your balls in your mouth...
We do not fear threats: Threats? LOL, who threatened who? Have you read Your Supreme Gutter Leader's fiery speeches lately?
We cannot bought or sold: "Bought" - created in 1982 by Iranian agents with Iranian money. "Sold": Sent by your handlers to the highest bidder, from Syria, to Iraq, to Yemen, to Bahrein.
So, there you go. Empty words, like Arafat's "Imperialists" speeches. Those were fun.

F16s silenced this liar for many weeks and months upon kidnapping the Israeli soldier in 2006. All Lebanon and 2000 people killed for nothing because of the same idiotic ideology you continue to follow in Iran. Who paid for the sub stations repair so this idiot can steals the electricity he uses today to speak up, who paid to repair the bridges this idiot uses daily. The problem we have is we need to manage you and shut you up because you speak of one sector we are ashamed of, and if you can't shut up then we'll give you lands and farms in the south to enjoy with da3ish Israel.

That is the only power the Saudis have, not on the battlefield, not in freedom. But in their oiled money.

Seriously, the one without brain is HA and its supporters. I wish they take the advise of Imam Ali and think before they talk. About threats, KSA may use money. HA uses money and murder as a tool of coercion.

Imam Ali Alayhi Salam his family was killed by the same ideology that the Wahabis of Saudi Arabia are following.
How about the graves of his family members in Ahlul bayt a.s that Al Saud family has demolished in their kingdom?
How about the Saudis cooperating with the Israelis?

Mystic - spare us. The Wahhabi ideology is very recent while imam Ali was killed 1400 years ago by the Khawarej. The Wahhabis emphasize obedience to the ruler while the Khawarej were unable to obey anyone. As of today, the Umayad and the Khawarej both focused on fighting Imam Ali to eliminate the middle road. Reminds you of today - same strategy of Iran and its allies. So who are the new Khawarej?

And southern who martyred mehdi amel? Or he martyred himself?...
At least be honest if u can...
And no i donnot support saudi regime i wish to saudis freedome and democracy as much as i wish it for iranian syrian and us lebanese...
The difference is me as a secular person a can critise sectrian regime and millicia, but i find it hard for follower or khomainii to come give us lectures about freedome, secular state and so...
And finaly staline alined with imperialist usa against nazi, leftist allied with amal psp ssnp against israelly, untill ur so beloved sectarian iranian millicia cam over... Remember southern or this phase should be earased from our history?...

He noted that “Saudi money” can buy “countries, the U.N. Security Council, presidents, princes and ministers” but “cannot purchase Hizbullah's silence.”
interesting to say the least.. but how can this hooligan explain why the Saudis were not able to buy the U.N. Security Council in 4 resolutions that were vetoed by Russia and China?

No flamethrower. Am an Arab I don't want to be under the Islamic Republic of Iran's hegemony or under Israel's hegemony.
Israel and Iran use us as fodder. They don't go to war against each other.
Iran uses poor Lebanese Arab peasants, gives them USD 400 per month, gives them "keys" to heaven to play their games.
Iran was with the US when the US destroyed Iraq. Iran was with Assad when he killed his people. Iran divided the Palestinians and killed the original and peaceful Palestinian Intifada.
The Iranians and Israel have a common enemy: The Arabs. They both hate us and use us in their games.

No Arab identity is not a Muslim identity, although Islam is part of our culture, so is Christianity, Judaism, Zaydiyizm, etc.
Arab identity is encompassing. What is worrying is this sectarian identity whether it is Shia, Sunni, Jewish or Christian extremists. Arab identity is one with the history, culture and language of our region. Arab identity binds us to the wider region, the same way European identity or Anglo-Saxon identity binds people together.
At the end of the day I have more in common with educated, rational, non-sectarian and non-racist people from all over the world than I have with sectarian, irrational, racist people from my own neighbourhood.
19 April 2015, 22:29

But that does not prevent me from feeling that I am part of an all encompassing Arab cultural identity that is forgiving, caring, spiritual and less materialistic than other cultures. Where Fairuz, Um Kalthoum, Taha Hussain, Nagib Mahfouz, Gibran Khalil Gibran, Al Mutanabi, historical Cairo, Baghdad and the Andalus are part of me.

looking how zealot FT is defending hezbis and iran it clearly shows that he prefers persian identity to arab... iranian to lebanese... he pretends to be lebanese while his capital is tehran. pityful idiot he is.

I don't want to co-exist neither with the Islamic State nor with the Islamic Republic.
You call it laland, I call it utopia (as in Thomas Moore). Nations are built by thinkers and dreamers not by bearded extremists.

This guy's name should be Malwouq, news flash you turbaned bootlicking slave, no one cares if you stayed silent or not, in the big scheme of things you and your Iranian terrorist militia are just a mosquitos.

FT - you are topping yourself in your lack of decorum. You used to make more sense. Your reflexive defense of anything HA and Iran (when they are patently wrong) is rather sad. But then again, you made it clear that you can think less what people want and you support minority rule (as long as it is Iranian supported).

1/ yemen is one of the poorest country and has been ruled for 32 years by the same president.
2/ if the yemeni want another regime it is their right.
3/ it is just a conflict between saudis and iranians on their soil so nothing to do with Lebanon... but not according to hezbollah it seems!
only hezbis want to turn it into an internal lebanese conflict to deflect the difficulties they are in...
4/ “We are not concerned about the situation region but Lebanon.”"
said bassil today and it supports my point of view of focusing on the lebanese problems rather than getting hysteric the way hezbis do....
but go tell that to the retards of this site....

Why are we upset that a regional conflict has found another stage (not Lebanon) and a new set of proxy actors that are not Lebanese?

All totalitarian Regimes are evil, the theocratic ones are the worst and here the Iranian regime wins hands down the prize for spreading sectarian dissent and exploiting hatred in order to achieve its imperial ambitions.

Im glad the arabs finally are taking care of their problems and stopped counting on the Americans to do their work. Iran if left unchecked wants to rebuild the Persian empire
