Peres Urges EU to 'Save Lebanon' from Hizbullah's 'Terrorist Madness'
Israeli President Shimon Peres appealed to the European Union on Tuesday to review its stance on Hizbullah to save Lebanon from its “madness,” saying the party is a terrorist organization and not a political movement.
“They collect missiles. They are trigger-happy. They hide missiles in peaceful towns and villages. By doing so, they turn them into a war target,” Peres said in a speech at the European Parliament.
“Hizbullah is a state within a state, a private army apart from the national army,” he said.
“Your voice is highly respected. We appeal to you: call terror — terror. Save Lebanon from terrorist madness,” he told the European MPs after referring to Bulgaria's latest accusations of Hizbullah's involvement in a deadly attack on Israeli tourists last year.
The bus bombing killed five Israeli tourists as well as a Bulgarian driver on July 18 at the airport in the Black Sea resort of Burgas.
“Save the Syrian people from Iran’s proxies. Save your citizens and ours from Hizbullah. The international community must designate Hizbullah as a terrorist organization,” Peres said.
"Recently, 20 terror attempts by Hizbullah were counted all over the world, in India, Thailand, Georgia, South Africa, the US, Egypt and Greece, among others,” he added.
He also noted that Cyprus recently arrested a member of Hizbullah accused of preparing attacks on Israelis in Cyprus.
A Cypriot court said it will render its verdict on March 21 against Hossam Taleb Yaacoub, a 24-year-old Swedish-Lebanese citizen.

They labeled al-qaida terrorist organization, all what it did, making it stronger and more popular in the moslem world.

Andre - I remind you that Peres is the same war criminal who ordered the massive bombing of Lebanon in 1996. He is the president of the same system you accuse of segragation and racism in another posting.

To qualify, an organization must meet only three criteria: It must be foreign, it must engage in terrorist activity and its activity must threaten the security of the U.S. or its citizens.

Mckinl....you have a very valid point and this is an issue for ALL ARABS & the World.....but at this moment we Lebanese need to focus on our own issue/problem and that is called HA! They are not above the law and act as if they are. They do NOT serve the Lebanese but rather they serve Iran and its agenda. So let clean our homes form this filthy disease and then we (along with other countries) label Israel whatever you like.

Movaten, we defeated them once, we can defeat them again. It's no excuse to keep their rockets and use them against us as they did a few years ago.
We can re acquire weapons later should they be hit by the enemy whilst stocked with our national heroic army.

HA has completely destroyed the Palastnian insurgency and struggle to regain their homeland,
HA and Iran created Hammas to divide thus destroy the Palastnian cause,
HA is directly responsible for the installment of UN forces for the protection of Israel's Northern border.
HA and the Jewish state are one and the same, the reasons behind the instability of Lebanon.

Who cares about Palastine. They are a self destructive virus.
Lebanon must be saved from the filthy militia. I hope EU listens to him.
