Hariri: Hizbullah Has Ruined Fraternal Ties among Lebanese People
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri lamented on Thursday Hizbullah's fighting in Syria, which has ruined “the fraternal ties among the Lebanese people, especially between Sunnis and Shiites.”
He said in an address to the Lebanese people: “Lebanon needs, now more than ever, the word of truth against the oppressive arms.”
“The word of truth will halt the Iranian wars against the Lebanese people and their land,” he declared.
“The word of truth will help liberate Lebanon from the illegitimate weapons and the hegemony of armed groups,” he added.
“No matter how many rockets these groups possess, they will never, at the end of the day, be able to create strife and break the unity of the state and the dignity of the people,” Hariri stressed.
“Lebanon is inching closer towards an existential threat, which is jeopardizing the country's culture and sectarian diversity,” he noted.
“I fear that Lebanon, including all of its sects, will fall victim to civil and sectarian conflicts,” he said.
“This time however, I fear that no one will come to our aid,” warned the former premier.
Moreover, he expressed a concern that Lebanon will once again fall victim to foreign hegemony after it was liberated of the Syrian regime's tutelage in 2005.
In addition to Israel's threat against Lebanon, continued Hariri, the real dangers facing Lebanon are stemming from its political fabric.
“Hizbullah has managed to transform itself over the past 20 years, and with unprecedented Iranian support, into a military and security force that has sought to impose itself at all state institutions,” he explained.
“Hizbullah is leading the country towards a dangerous phase and none of the Lebanese sects will be able to avoid it,” he cautioned.
Hizbullah is an extension of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and it is seeking to spearhead its agenda in the region, he stated.
“This agenda requires the Shiites in Lebanon to become the fuel of this endless futile war,” lamented the former prime minister.
“We do not consider Hizbullah as an army aimed at defending Lebanon's Shiites … but it is an army aimed at defending Syrian President Bashar Assad and Iran's ambitions in the region,” he noted.
“Hizbullah is definitely no longer suited to defend Lebanon or its Shiites,” he declared.

shia are awaiting the new Mahdi, but as they book says, before the new Mahdi appears there will be a false one.
I believe we are in the era of the false Mehdi, otherwise how do you explain iran and hizbushaitan sacrificing all these young men to achieve their goals?
anyway, Aleppo will be the burial of hizbushaitan, and here in Lebanon we are ready to kick out this cancer called hizbushaitan.

Words and naysaying is not what it will take to end the Hezbollah cancer on Lebanon. Come on Saad, buck up!! You don't meet force with words, you meet force with force and overcome it. And if you are not willing to do that, then your words will become prophetic.

Mowaten : is this the only thing you have to say ?
Did he say anything wrong ? Show us how he is lying ?
Tell us why Hezbollah is not a threat to the country and justify to us why they should be involved in Syria for the good of lebanon.
Tell us why they should keep their weapons and how they are bringing peace and social harmony and economical prosperity to the country .
Tell us what value Hezbollah brings to Lebanon!
Don't avoid answering the issue by launching simple accusations ("Because they do it...") and provide counter arguments instead. Tell me where Saad is lying or is wrong in his reasoning...

fo shizzle my nizzle. just look at how nicely geha and FT talk to each other ever day. everything was fine until Hizb joined the war and now we all hate each other ;)
Lebanese people are just proxies fighting out the battle that is really between Iran and Saudi. We're too stupid to understand that we shouldn't pick a side because neither side is fighting for our country.

“Hizbullah is definitely no longer suited to defend Lebanon or its Shiites,”
true, only to defend the islamic revolution to which they pledge allegiance and is called "islamic resistance in lebanon" but not "lebanese islamic resistance""!!!...
“Hizbullah has managed to transform itself over the past 20 years, and with unprecedented Iranian support, into a military and security force that has sought to impose itself at all state institutions,”
true, no one can deny this!
“The word of truth will help liberate Lebanon from the illegitimate weapons and the hegemony of armed groups,”
true, and aoun has called for that for decades before being at their service!

First you didn't have to post this 5 times in different articles for it to be seen.
Second, the content of passage that you bring up is widely accepted by most scholars as a translation error, since the original was written in poor Arabic by a non-native writer.
I am no fan of any of it but do some reading before you quote.

Christians, Sunni and Druze will remain close.... The only branded people are the Shiites. It's very very sad but true. They expelled themselves from civilization. I hope they get rewarded for this but I fear it's for nothing....

...and why is politics a father-to-son business? It is supposed to be based on capabilities and merit, not inheritance.

I think it applies to all people not just arabs. people in power want to stay in power. Look at George Bush and his son. Clinton and now Hillary in 2016. Ron Paul and his son Rand Paul.
