Hizbullah Says It Asked State to Protect Dahieh before Taking Own Measures
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah on Sunday noted that it had asked state authorities to protect its Dahieh stronghold and other areas following the deadly Rweiss blast, rejecting accusations that it was seeking “autonomous security.”
“Hizbullah is not with autonomous security, but with all due honesty, we openly asked security forces and the highest-ranking officials to shoulder their responsibilities regrading security and no one responded,” Sheikh Mohammed Yazbek, head of Hizbullah's Juristic Committee, said.
“What do you want us to do while you are saying that there are booby-trapped cars? Have you ever learned of a state that abandons the security of its people?” Yazbek told mourners during a commemoration ceremony in the Bekaa town of Ansar.
Addressing “those who keep mentioning self-dissociation,” the top Hizbullah official said: “Does self-dissociation involve turning Lebanon into a corridor for sending gunmen and arms to Syria?”
Meanwhile, Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem said: “We believe that security is the responsibility of Lebanese security authorities and we also believe that the law is the responsibility of the Lebanese judiciary.”
But Qassem revealed: "We communicated with the Lebanese security agencies and tasked a Hizbullah official to meet with the chiefs of security agencies, and we openly asked them to perform their duties and role.”
“But they declared their impotence and said they could not provide the needed personnel or protect Dahieh and some other areas,” Qassem added.
"We said that we do not accept such an answer and that authorities cannot say that they are powerless and that they must seek a solution. If the solution lies in increasing the number of personnel, then beef up the numbers. If the solution lies in boosting the budget, request the needed budget, and if the solution lies in a political decision, let us discuss how to take that political decision,” Hizbullah's number two went on to say.
He stressed that security agencies “are exclusively responsible for people's security and they must find the solution.”
“But until that happens, what should we do? Should we keep our regions vulnerable? Should we give a chance to criminals and Takfiris to stage hostile acts against people?” Qassem asked rhetorically.
“To those saying that the state is the answer – while it is admitting its incapacity – we say: Should we keep the streets open to booby-trapped cars … and allow them to cause casualties? What kind of logic is this?” he added.
Hizbullah had beefed up its security measures in and around Beirut's southern suburbs in the wake of bomb attacks that targeted the Bir al-Abed and Rweiss areas and left dozens of people dead and scores others wounded.

Yislam Timmak Ya Qassem......!!!!! These security officials who admitted their impotence as you said, should be discharged on the spot and maybe court marshaled. They should be replaced by competent Shia members of the Resistance in order to protect the lebanese. This is appalling indeed. These autonomous security measures were forced upon the Resistance. The Islamic Resistance would love to see the State assume its fundamental responsibilities of protecting its citizens while the resistance focuses on fighting the enemy up North......... and yes down South too. Yes, we should not keep the streets open to booby-trapped "diplomatic" wahabi tafkiri cars. Tfehhhhhhh

when you give weapons to the qaeda boys and they use them against lebanese civilians (border villages slaughters, kidnapped pilgrims, rockets on hermel, desecration of religious shrines...) you can't really come complain afterwards if HA had to go clean the mess.

in this stupid logic then anyone can do the same out of the gvt control... just what i said, hezbis spit on the state and its institutions... just like you and proud of it...
you are still no better than those you criticize as you do the EXACT same thing even WORSE by sending troops without any authorization of the lebanese gvt!!!! aware of that? lol
so your lecturings are really comic and void....

bombs started landing in Lebanon AFTER HAs involvement..which was from the very beginning unless you believe what hasoon said.. oh we are protecting border villages.. ok now we are protecting shrines.. ok NOW we are involved..lol
but those bombs did not land in Lebanon until AFTER hasoon publicly admitted he is in Syria..

you and your spit obsession. now in the name of the "state and its institutions" people have to let themselves get slaughtered. walla, from what moral high ground do you speak? who in this country did more for the country than HA? besides arrogantly claiming they work for the institutions all m14 did was fill their pockets, place their families and henchmen in all key positions and privatize state privileges (like expropriation for instance, which solidere gave itself to steal all downtown)

arzak: any proof to back that claim? no. and you know why? because all it relies on what the qaeda boys said. if you want to believe them go ahead, and if that's the case you're a hopeless case.
in the mean time, everybody knows the only reason they kept claiming HA was involved is because they wanted to make it sectarian and have foreign jihadis come help them.

"who in this country did more for the country than HA? "
sure to destroy it they have no challengers!!!
what did they do for the lebanese economy? nothing...they participated in destroying it...
but still your circumvolutions to avoid answering to the fact that they are NO BETTER than those you criticize were perfect... you bark because you pretend M14 sent arms but hezbis sending troops is far worse.... but of course you d deny it...
thx mowaten for your lectures but still facts contradict whatever you say to back your militia....

you sure talk a lot of bollocks. first sending weapons to a restive country, not knowing how they're going to be used, by whom and to kill whom is not nothing. at all.
also dont forget this is what enabled the start of the civil war with all the dreadful consequences it has had until now.
sending a disciplined force to take out a specific threat that has repeatedly attacked you seems much better to me.
in any case, you guys have been the first ones to intervene in syria, and the first ones to complain when HA did the same. irresponsible and childish behaviors, typical of m14 and their fanclub. you wanted the civil war in syria, you cheered and chanted when it started (i remember one of you who kept posting "long live the syrian civil war") your leaders grabbed it like the chance they were waiting for to be re-instated in power in lebanon once syrian leadership shifted to their favor. but you lost, as usual. and now you whine. deal with it.
kill people is not better

proof? i do not need any al-qaida boys or Shia Islamist that are here to spread the Iranian revolution to tell me..
the step by step admittance of hasoon is enough for me to show that he was slowly building a case to justify his involvement to his constituents.
And again, bombs did not fall on the bekaa BEFORE hasoon openly admitted to involvement.

no arzak, when they got involved it was way after the pilgrims kidnapping, the attacks on border villages, and the launching of rockets on hermel. dont take nasrallah's honesty as a way to accuse him of whatever. this is like a kid saying all week "it's sunday, it's sunday!" and being told it's wrong, and when it's finally sunday and people tell him "now it's sunday" then he starts saying he was right all along.

“Does self-dissociation involve turning Lebanon into a corridor for sending gunmen and arms to Syria?”
but it is OK to send your troops there as a self disassociation policy!

Hezbollah is in no position to demand ANYTHING from the state. It has no legitimacy to instruct and command the state, nor to warn they'd do XYZ of the state declines whatever is Requested from them.

Why is everyone making a big fuss about the Hizb's autonomous security now, the Hizb in the dahyeh always had autonomous security since forever, this isn't a new phenomenon. I actually think that the Hizb is trying to capitalise on the bomb blast by trying to give some legitimacy for its security lock down on the dahyeh for the past 20 years.

Looking at all the events since 2000 has convinced me beyond a shadow of a dought, that HizbShitan, Iran and the Syrian Baath are TRULY Zionist.

State authorities need to act for the safety of the people first, to lead by example and put aside all other political debating factors. Each and every Lebanese individual is eligible to be treated the same. If security can be stepped up for a consulate or embassy under threat then it can be stepped up for any area in Lebanon equally as much.

Now, the Iranian puppet wants the state to protect him???? I guess he wants to use the LAF as human shields against what will be raining on them after the rockets start landing in Damascus. Does he thinks that all people are as stupid as the ones that support him?
