Nasrallah: We're Counting on Public Opinion to Overcome STL Conspiracy
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah noted Friday that his party is “counting on the public opinion’s support for the Resistance” to overcome “the conspiracy of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and its threat.”
“Day after day we are discovering how much the tribunal is politicized and why it was established … When I or some of my brothers (in Hizbullah) make explanations and clarifications (on the STL), we are not trying to convince the U.S. administration, (STL Prosecutor Danielle) Bellemare, (STL President Antonio) Cassese or some figure in Lebanon … we are rather trying to appeal to the public opinion,” said Nasrallah.
Speaking via video link during a mass rally organized by Hizbullah in the southern border town of Maroun al-Ras on the anniversary of Quds Day, Nasrallah said: “We chose this location because of the sacrifices of the Lebanese people, army and the sons of this land who transformed Maroun al-Ras into a symbol of perseverance and resistance during the July 2006 war.”
“Jerusalem is part of our religion, culture, and prayers,” Nasrallah added.
“We will not allow some Lebanese to sell Lebanon and Palestine to the U.S. and a settlement will not take place at Lebanon’s expense,” he vowed.
Hizbullah number one noted that Lebanon now poses a problem to Israel, “one it is seeking to escape.”
“Efforts have been made for years to break up the equation of the army, people, and Resistance through seeking strife and targeting the Resistance,” Nasrallah added.
Addressing the indictments recently released by the STL, which issued arrest warrants for four Hizbullah members it accused of being involved in the 2005 murder of ex-PM Rafik Hariri, Nasrallah said “everything the STL issues is worthless.”
He stressed that the army is the one guarantee for Lebanon’s stability and that “targeting it is aimed at sectarian incitement.”
“Anyone who targets the army is serving Israel. I am not accusing anyone of being a traitor. The equation of the army, people, and Resistance alone can thwart Israel.”
Hitting out at the leaders and officials of the rival March 14 camp, Nasrallah said: “All statements of sovereignty and independence are empty words because the Cedar Revolution was directed by (Assistant U.S. Secretary of State) Jeffrey Feltman and the French ambassador.”
Turning to the Syrian crisis, Hizbullah’s leader warned that “any approach in Syria other than dialogue would pose a threat to Syria, Palestine and the entire region.”
“We are pleased with the Syrian people and leaders’ commitment to national principles and Arab rights in the face of the international pressure that did not manage to destabilize the Syrian leadership.”
“Had it succumbed to the pressure, Palestine would have been lost,” Nasrallah said of the Syrian leadership.
“Syria’s support for the Resistance, Lebanon, and Palestine is very important. Iranian support would have been halted had it not been for Syria. The Resistance would not have been able to liberate the South without Syria’s help,” Nasrallah noted, adding that “we all support reform in Syria given its important position in the region.”
He warned that some sides are stoking sectarian incitement in Syria and seeking a military intervention by NATO forces.
“Some sides are seeking to fragment Syria as part of a new Middle East agenda,” Nasrallah warned.
“The U.S. is not interested in reforms in Syria, but it is concerned with concessions and international pressure is delaying reforms,” he stressed.
On the Palestinian cause, Hizbullah’s leader said “the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Conference have responsibilities towards Palestine. No one should concede one grain of sand or one drop of oil at Palestine’s expense.”
“The Palestinians have the right to negotiate over the 1967 borders,” Nasrallah added, “but talks should not take place at the expense of the rest of Palestine,” he went on to say.
“The problems in Palestine are the result of the occupation and we should therefore tackle that cause just as Lebanon handled Israel’s occupation of the South,” Nasrallah noted.
He called on the Islamic world to “rise up and support the Palestinian people.”
Nasrallah also lauded the “new phase in Egypt.”
“Had (ousted Egyptian leader) Hosni Mubarak still been in power, the official Egyptian stand would have reprimanded the Palestinians for the (recent) Eilat attacks,” Nasrallah noted.
“The Egyptian position is gradually shifting towards the better,” he said.
Addressing the developments in Libya, Nasrallah said “one of (Libyan strongman Moammar) Gadhafi’s crimes against the Palestinian cause was the kidnapping of Imam Moussa Sadr and his two companions.”
“The abduction was a favor to the Zionists.”
“The Libyan people will face the test of confronting the Americans’ onslaught of the country’s resources,” Nasrallah cautioned.

I hate it when this guy talks as if he represents the Lebanese People ... Hassouna do you really think we want you to talk for us ??? do you really think we want you to defend us ??? i think we need to defend ourselves from people like you who threaten the very existence of Lebanon and the Lebanese

Stop geting us entangled in the problems of others. Let the Palestinians negotiate for Quda.
We want you out of the country, not in the country intimidating people, killing, stealing electricity, and supporting the evil Assad

Have you not seen that Naharnet had to remove a piece of news released one hour ago as follows: US treasury , the same sanctions that apply on Rami Makhlouf will and citing the Al Rai kuwaiti newspaper : US treasury: the sanctions on Rami Makhlouf apply equally on Miqati ! Although it s been banned on naharnet , it can easily be found on the Al Rai newspaper page on the internet . Difficult to have censorship in the internet age!
26 August 2011, 18:30

Please Mr Nasrallagh, the formula is simple: IT IS THE PEOPLE, we do not want your resistance nor your army. Just stay where you are underground for a while because soon you will be found and your end is near with your friend Bashar + Gadafi

This guy does not represent me, never has and never will . . . . . Any religious based movement does not represent me!

Just Like the south America drug lords with hand of blood from war crimes and conspiracy against the state of Lebanon and Lebanese, another terrorist attack to highjack the only Peacefull Christian state in the region.
Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and their place not on TV, must be in jail facing charges of conspiracy and war crimes. You are a toy in the hands of the corrupted Zionist regime in helping them to raise more money from the world jews fund to bring another war and destruction to Lebanon.
26 August 2011, 19:01

The Ummah, hummm what is that? Is that what people like you have been killing Lebanese and burning their towns and villages in the name of since independence?
26 August 2011, 19:10

Again Nassrallah tries to impose, from hiding, his Iranian strategies on all the Lebanese.
By the way , Jerusalem was not considered a holy place for the Muslims during Mohammed's life and even long after his daeth. He never stepped foot in it. If we keep interlying to each other the issue with israel will never be resolved.
The conflict with Israel could be easily resolved when the religion element is taken out of it. This is what extremists like Nassrallah do not want to do.
26 August 2011, 19:17

The little Iranian stooge and criminal GroundHog will pay for all of his crimes against Lebanon and recently the Syrian free people soon enough...!!
26 August 2011, 19:17

He mentioned Egypt but again he did not mention Syria? He is a liar. Everything he says is a lie. He did the crimes and pretends to be above everything.
First he should tell his people to pay for electricity and stop bankrupting the country.
By the way is he elected by the people? Why should anyone listen to him?
26 August 2011, 19:46

The only Location nasrallagh has is somewhere undergound...I wonder how long he can last before they catch the terrified rat!
26 August 2011, 19:48

Gabby exactly we have enough religions and various community issues in Lebanon to deal with...what does he do to cover his crimes...he talks about BAlestine and Souria and Iran and Ysrael...typical nonsense from small time terrorist like the rest of our leaders unfortunately

When is Nassrallah going to recognize that the demand for freedom in Syria is comming from the Syrian people and no one else. How much longer are we to believe that anytime something happens that opposes Hizzbullah views, such as STL, Syrian Revolution, that it is simply a Zionist conspiracy with the help of the Satan USA. This is an insult to all arabs each and every time they demand something to be labeled traitors working for the Israeli cause. It simply doesn't fly anymore in today's age. Most of the arab world has information technology at their finger tips and they are using it well to rid the Middle East of these evils. Hope Hizzbullah is next.

You are the MASTERS of Conspiracy, STL is doing the whole world a huge deed by exposing your filthy conspiracy. Just look at how many TRUE LEBANESE you have murdered, how much land & electricity you have stolen, how many crooks and criminals you are protecting, how many $$Billions you have cost the Lebanese tax payers, how many innocent Syrians you've killed so far and so on... The majority public opinion of you is "SCUM, SCUM go back to where you're from" please, and leave us live in peace. We've had enough of your Bull Shit. If it hadn't been for that TRAITOR Mr. CLOUN and his "Moutons de Panurge" you criminals wouldn't have the control as you do now, but that will be ending when your Master next door is gone Bye Bye.

Don't count on public opinion!
Public opinion is with the STL and against you and your weapons.

This Hassouna guy is crazy and bettrade the Lebanese people and Lebanese nation, he is a national threat for the peace and democracy given in Lebanon to musloms to be part of democracy, he is abusing democracy and playing double agent, a spy for Iranian regime, Syrian regime and a toy for the Zionist regime. He is the most radical terrorist after Binladen.

My dear indoctrinated jabal amel,
Would you like to visit my home and check if there are posters of feltman? We are compatriots and brothers, so you are welcome to pass by and check.
However, I am 99% sure there are photos of the Sayyed at your house, in every room.
( For the less informed readers, most pro resistance supporters have his picture in their houses.)
PS: Jabel, im not saying its right or wrong, but Im just suggesting you should look at yourself before accusing others.

Arabic public opinion is simple arithmetic: Sunas are 15 times more than She3as (more than 70 million in egypt alone) and they do not believe your propaganda and you have become their joke: you have done a great job losing egyptian public support and even a much greater job losing the syrian one by supporting the regime ( i mean mbc had to even fire george kerda7i, it is really that serious). You have also lost jazeera support which reflects the arab street mood, you are finished there.
Lebanese public opinion: She3as and Sunnis are equal in numbers so they cancel each other, Christians are divided (kaman cancel) and it is a real joke if you think you have the educated Jumblatis on your side at heart lol. Now if you count the dissent in the She3a community and other sects who show loyalty only to your face (and your bullshit at heart) i am sure you lose the math there too.
Therefore you lost your propaganda war...min zamaaaaaaaan,.

He is trying to win in teh court of public opinion when he is losing support all over the region for his support of Assad and Hezz repression of the Lebanese. How pathetic. He should send lawyers to the court. The evidence will convict him. The public opinion is against him and his attempts to brainwash people into believing he is good does not work.

True. This guy is dangerous. He's passing the interests of his sponsors, the syrian regime and Iran, before those of Lebanon.
The sad thing is that this also applies to march 14. Their agenda is israeli/american, not Lebanese.
the solution? we should reject all of the march 8/ march 14 criminals and prepare for a new generation of Leaders, who work for the sole interest of the Lebanese repubic.
no more Samir Aoun, or Michel Geagea, or Hassan Hariri or Saadeddine Nasrallah. March 8 and March 14??????? two sides ofvthe same rotten coin...

An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions.
Can someone explain what those people mean by the people the army the resistance equation? It is a total nonsense!
The Resistance?That should be: "Some of the Chias, the Hezbollah, the Hassan Nasrallah". I really do not feel to be part of any equation with those thugs!
The Army? Where was it on May 7th? Ayn el Heloue was the only performance we ever had. What else did the army ever do apart from building ugly marinas for its officers and present us with the Emile emile Emile emile Lahoud piece of garbabge and GMA? Plus it looks more and more like you have to be a general to aspire to become the president. Nice.
The people? That's all we really have. Most of the march 8th political leaders' job is to keep us divided and full of hate for each others so they can keep their job. That's why they systematically refused to cooperate in the previous governement.
So what does that stupid equation mean?

Why do all wars have to start from Lebanon? We did not fight enought? We fighted christians, muslims, syrians, israelis, palestinians and still we have to fight for the liberation of palestine? All this alone? Where is the context of this war in the region? all surrounding countries, Syria in first, are enjoying peace and prosperity since 30 years while we are stupidly creating reasons to destroy once again our land. Enough. The objectives of Nasrallah do not serve the country and he does not have the right to speak on behalf of the lebanese. All his speaches call for war and conspiracies, as his masters tell him to do, to keep the country in fire because real peace does not serve them.

The only person who sold Lebanon is the one with 40,000 rockets, wages war when he feels like it and speaks on my behalf when I never asked him to. You and your militia sold our country to Iran a long time ago and you have the audacity to preach to us about selling and corruption and shady deals. Leave us be, we don't want you, we don't need you and we definitly wish for you to stop resisting anyone on our behalf.

Will someone tell that lunatic that the war with Israel is over, that we don't care about his opinions. Who listens to him? He will take Lebanon into the ditch. And who gave him the authorization to speak on behalf of Lebanon's foreign policy?
It's a shame that no one in the Lebanese government dares to respond to this lunatic.
The danger is within Mr Nasrallah, and you are it.
