Peres Urges EU to Blacklist Hizbullah, Describes Decision as 'Hypocrisy'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Israeli President Shimon Peres considered that attempts to differentiate between Hizbullah's military wing and political party is plain “hypocrisy,” calling on the European Union to place Hizbullah as a whole on the list of terrorist organizations.
Peres wondered in an interview with al-Hurra TV on Thursday night if Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallh is a politician or a military man.
“He (Nasrallah) sent his army to fight alongside (Syrian President Bashar) Assad's forces and kill more Syrians,” the Israeli president said.
The Council of the European Union and the European Commission added on Thursday Hizbullah's military wing officially to the EU's list of entities, groups and persons involved in terrorist acts, as agreed at the Foreign Affairs Council on July 22.
Those on the list are targeted with an asset freeze in the EU. In addition, member states have committed to enhanced police and judicial cooperation in related inquiries and proceedings, it announced in a statement.
The decision brings the number of groups and entities subject to these restrictions to 26, while 11 persons remain on the list.
Peres also blamed Nasrallah for sending its members to Syria without the permission of the Lebanese government.
Hizbullah “violated international laws and committed actions in Syria, which constitute war crimes.”
On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the EU's Foreign Affairs Council decision, saying the party has imposed a "terrorist" rule on large parts of Lebanon.
Hizbullah "has imposed terrorist rule on wide sections of Lebanon, has converted them into an Iranian protectorate and is stockpiling tens of thousands of rockets there."
"These have been placed in the heart of civilian populations and are designed to be fired at population centers in Israel," he said.

LOL @ Peres!!! Need I remind you that Our Islamic Secular Resistance aka HA (Hussain Army) sacred right is "enshrined in International Law" under Article 51 of the U.N. Charter which provides for the right of countries to engage in self-defense, including collective self-defense, against an armed attack. Yes, HA is engaged in self-defense in Syria in a battle that was forced upon it by your Takfiri-Harriri-Hakimi Allies. Three million heart-eating cannibals were amassing at our northern borders ready to devour our little trendy country for no reason. So, we carried out a pre-emptive strike to liberate Lebanese-infested border villages and this liberation continues as we speak. Yes, some civilians were killed in the process here and there which you call massacres, but that is war and you know it. Now spare us your sermon! Tfehh....

Israel and HA are equal hypocrites...
FT... Get it through your thick skull, HA does NOT represent most Lebanese... They are practicing self defense in Syria???!!! Sounds like Zionest talk to me... You guys hate each other and I hate both Israel and HA EQUALLY!!
Here is the correct formula. It is:
PEOPLE + ARMY ===== RESISTANCE.

HA's as a supposed threat to stability will come and go, but the Israeli menace has always been the shadow of Lebanon. For you to say anything is more of a threat to Lebanon than Israel is an insult to all those subjected to the inhumanity of Israel, especially Lebanon and the Middle East as a whole.

I agree with him. That would cover whole Lebanon as a terrorist state. Who in Lebanon is not involved in Syria. Why stop there? Other countries are involved like KSA, Qatar, Iran etc.. As I said before, they are all terrorists, as soon they speak arabic.

Just how many Palestinians have been murdered by Israeli settlers in the last, let's say 10 years, and then let's have a look at how many
Israeli women and children have been murdered by Palestinians during the same period.
When you have the correct answer to that, you'll see just how incorrect your comment is.

Phillipo, perhaps you should look into it instead of absorbing what fear mongering propaganda your government utters; take http://www.ifamericansknew.org/ as an example.

The only difference is that it's much much worse! It's mental terrorism in breaking a whole nation in to pieces, forcing them to be humiliated, generation after generation, taking their land and building on it while they watch! Bulldozing a farmers only means of lively hood, just so these subhumans can fulfill some prophesy!
A bomb goes off and kills people. And scares people. I've been living in Beirut since 2002, I know how it feels... But I have zero idea how it must feel for the Palestinians living like this!

Phillipo, every Israeli, man and woman, serve in the army. Exept for a very few for religious reasons.
Besides all being army, and heavily armed... They are settling on someone else's land! Are u retarded?

"how will the EU be able to differentiate between Israel & Israeli settlements."
Very simple, everyone in Israel, just like all over Europe, knows where factories etc are situated because the address has to appear on the wrapping.
What exactly will these santions cause? As the factories will not be able to export their products, they will have to cut down on their work forces, and guess who will be fired first? You guessed right, the Palestinian workers. So the brilliant idea to boycott Israeli products from factories in the West Bank will only produce ---150,000 more unemployed Palestinians. If the worst come to the worst, the Israeli factories will simply relocate within the Green Line without their Palestinian workers.

So you're telling me these factories and such responsable for the illegal advancement of settlements into Palestinian land have complete autonomy from the Israeli government?

Hahahahahahaha oh wow! Phillipo, sir, you have outdone yourself! So let's follow your logic... If we boycott child labor goods, they will lose their jobs. Child labor is good!... If we boycott blood diamonds, hundreds of thousands will lose the dollar a day payment. Blood diamonds are good!...
Eventually when the governments you control are no longer able to pay back their interest loans, they will turn on you. Like so many times in history, you will brought from the shadows, and disbursed throughout the earth.

I suppose that you suggest giving the 2013 Peace Prize jointly to Nasrallah, Assad and Morsi ?

He speaks from a realistic perspective, while you go on a tangent into hypotheticals and sarcasm.

No Phillipo ur right, it should either go to Peres (the president of the biggest terrorist state in the world), or to nasrallah Assad n morsi... There are no people in between, in this whole world, who deserve the Nobel peace prize more than them. Good job Phillipo.

Look what the Palastinians did to your country after the entire Arab world spat at them after their exile from Jordan, so called brothers.
Partition please.

God sent his holy son 2000 years ago, yet they manipulated the Romans to get rid of him. And for our muslim friends, god sent his messenger, they had him poisoned as well...
Ma khtalafna. But are today's Jews responsible for horrors of the past? All of our ancestors worldwide regardless of their religion committed similar crimes.... Nobody's clean.
To me, the only people that should get punished are the ones that stole lands (instead of purchasing it) from the locals. And these people are still alive... But they dont deserve death, nobody has the right to take another man's life.... Unlike Hezbollah and Bachar are doing on a daily basis.
The Sursok family sold a HUGE chunk of land to the zionists a century ago.... Yes, they are Lebanese. This is how Israel should have been created.

I don't believe in religion. All I know is that Jews have been hated by, and accused of betraying every country/society they belonged to. They're always in charge of the money and the banks. Palestine was promised to Barron Rothschild, one person, got a signed letter from the queen/uk gov, promising him Jewish possession of Palestine! How much power does this small group wield?
Plz google...
How Hollywood was created.
How ww1 was won by uk.
How that created ww2.
How Jews have been portrayed throughout history, from the Greeks to the Romans to the Christians to the Muslims, and to how they are still acting today.
If God sent you all those prophets, it's because you are the most evil, and the most in need of such intervention.

Phoenix I agree. Sara7a I think if they all, Israel Syria ksa Iran, left Beirut alone, we would be the economical capital of the mena.

Texas, like Phillipo said, in the end it will hurt the Palestinians, so the Israelis don't care if the settlement factories are boycotted. South Africa used to say the same thing.
