Nasrallah: We are not Obligated to any Side that the FPM Allies itself with in Municipal Polls
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah emphasized on Thursday the party's commitment towards its ally the Free Patriotic Movement in the municipal elections, saying that the victorious candidates will serve all who “voted for us and those who did not vote for us.”
He said during a Hizbullah ceremony marking the "resistance's wounded fighters": “We are not obligated towards any side that the Free Patriotic Movement chooses to ally itself with during the municipal polls.”
He made his statement in reference to the FPM's alliance in the polls with the Lebanese Forces and Kataeb Party.
Nasrallah explained that these alliances seek to serve the people, but that they also have political objectives.
“We ally ourselves with our friends, not our foes, who have not spared any media outlet to slander us. We respect ourselves and our supporters and we do not stab our allies in the back.”
“We hope the next stages of the municipal elections will run as smoothly as the ones held over the weekend,” added the Hizbullah chief.
Beirut and the Bekaa regions witnessed on May 8 the first stage of municipal polls.
The next stage will be held in the Mount Lebanon region on Sunday. They will be followed by polls in the South and Nabatieh on May 22 and the North and Akkar on May 29.
Addressing regional developments, Nasrallah remarked that the Islamic State group is a U.S. product “aimed at destroying the resistance movements in the region.”
He explained that the U.S. first came up with the idea of using fighters “trained in Wahhabi thought” in order to defeat the Soviet Union.
It sought to use a similar approach, through the IS, in defeating the “spirit and will of the resistance.”
“The West does not have a problem with Muslims, but with the movements and people who reject the Israeli occupation of Palestine. They have a problem with all those who reject foreign hegemony in the region.”
“They have a problem with all who believe in the resistance,” stated Nasrallah.
“How are they going to fight them? They attempted to do so through direct combat in Lebanon in 2006 and later in Gaza, but they failed,” he noted.
They therefore resorted to the IS, said the Hizbullah chief.
“They want the IS to reach all of Iran's borders and even within Iran itself. The Saudi regime is trying to do so. The IS is a means to achieve U.S. goals as demonstrated through the return of American troops in Iraq.
“This is not a regional Sunni-Shiite battle, but this is all an attempt to break the rise of resistance movements.”

Here's this Iranian preaching as if he cares for Christians, making them think it's either HA/Iran or ISIS as the only choices Christians have. Listen here you pompous child, real Christians will never support EITHER of you. The one's who support you are sellouts, and the rest aren't dumb enough to fall for your words. The Christians have always been caught in your Iranian dirty games, and now you openly admit they're pawns being played by BOTH of you. I've heard alot of stupid words from both your Iranian HA and ISIS...you're equally garbage, you never once cared, nor ever will for Christians; They are pawns for your amusement and nothing more. Keep up the lies and empty words, I have no idea how you wake every morning so delusional...oh right! Opiates...

Mustafa Badreddine is dead.... good riddance.
This filthy terrorist was responsible for many crimes, including the murder of Rafik Hariri, and the murder of many other innocent politicians, journalists, and security personnel.
