Nasrallah Urges Arabs to Supply Gaza with Arms, Use Oil to Press U.S., EU

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday called on the Arab countries to supply battered Gaza with weapons and use the factor of oil to pressure the U.S. and Europe into ending their support for Israel.

“The aggression started with the assassination of a major jihadist leader and several people were martyred or wounded amid a strong defiance by the resistance,” said Nasrallah in a televised address marking the first day of the Shiite Ashoura religious ceremonies.

“We extend our condolences to Hamas Movement on the death of commander (Ahmed) Jaabari and we offer our condolences to the Palestinian people. We strongly condemn the aggression and all the freedom advocates in the world must stand by Gaza, the resistance and the jihadist fighters,” Nasrallah stressed.

He said that the “main bet” is on “the will of the people in Gaza and the will of the resistance.”

“The reason for confidence is that there is a resistance movement in Gaza that has a level of wisdom, courage and steadfastness that makes it qualified for engaging in a confrontation at this high, dangerous and decisive level,” Hizbullah's leader added.

He noted that the firing on Wednesday and Thursday of Iranian-made Fajr 5 rockets at the Tel Aviv area “highlights the wisdom and courage of the current resistance in Gaza.”

Two more Gazans died as Israel pressed on with a major bombing campaign across Gaza on Thursday, raising the death toll to 15, and Palestinian fighters fired more than 250 rockets over the border, with two of them hitting the Tel Aviv area.

A rocket hit the sea just south of Tel Aviv, an Agence France Presse correspondent at the scene said, the farthest that a rocket from Gaza had ever landed inside Israel.

The attack sparked panic in Tel Aviv, with television images showing people lying on the ground outside the defense ministry, their hands over their heads as sirens wailed.

Earlier on Thursday, a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip struck Rishon LeTzion, some 15 kilometers (nine miles) southeast of Tel Aviv, the Israeli army said, but there were no injuries or damage.

“It is an episode of the episodes of the bloody, historic and decisive confrontations that will decide the fate of Palestine and the holy sites. It is one of the stages that require everyone to shoulder their responsibilities,” said Nasrallah.

“We have noticed that this enemy does not need an excuse to wage war and aggression. If the enemy's government has a political interest in war it will wage it, like it did during the 1996 Grapes of Wrath Operation when (then Israeli prime minister Shimon) Peres waged a war on Lebanon ahead of the Israeli elections,” Nasrallah noted.

“The Israelis do not need a Palestinian action in order to make a reaction and I remind the Lebanese, the Arabs and the governments in the region of this,” he want on to say.

Lashing out at the U.S., France and Britain, Nasrallah said “the blood of Gaza's children has exposed the reality of the American, French and British stances on the region.”

“This proves that they're not concerned with values or human rights, but rather with their own interests,” added Nasrallah.

He called on the Arab and Muslim countries to “cooperate in order to enable the jihadist (Gaza) Strip to achieve victory and foil the Israeli plans.”

“Western countries can definitely pressure Israel. We always hear remarks about the 'weapon of oil' and Arabs know that there are certain countries in Europe that would collapse if the price of oil rises and the same can be said about the U.S.,” said Nasrallah.

“Slash production or raise the prices,” Hizbullah's leader suggested, addressing the oil-producing Arab countries.

Commenting on remarks voiced by some Arab leaders that “what's happening in Gaza is aimed at diverting attention from what's happening in Syria,” Nasrallah said “these remarks are laughable because the Israeli objectives are clear.”

“The right thing to say is that Israel benefited very well from what's happening in Syria in order to wage a war on Gaza,” Hizbullah's leader noted.

We can't even find peace & tranquility within our borders let alone to deal with your BS acting as if you are God sent!

"Nasrallah Urges Arabs to Supply Gaza with Arms, Use Oil to Press U.S., EU" This delusional imbecile actually believes that Arabs listen to him.....but we all know that he is using this ploy for the mere purpose to further brainwash his followers to think they are united with other Arabs which is far from the truth. But unfortunately the rate knows he has stone-aged religious followers who will cheer and chant like cavemen.

The conflict between the she3a and israel is over since 2006, HA realized that the price of a theatrical war with israel to boost the local hegemony of weapons is simply too risky and too high. HA/Iran and Israel are now in tacit alliance against the majority sunis in the region. Therefore nasrala would send his thugs to die in HUMS doing jihadi duties!?!?!?!! but not to die for Palestenians. He will not do a thing just as in 2009 (was also a 3ashura then!) he watched gaza being bombed and he will watch again in 2012. His real prize is lebanon Lebanon Lebanon and how to conquer Lebanon, just as israel's real prize is Palestine. This is the reality

The only time I agree with this guy is when he qualifies Israeli action. That's the only place where he is right.

Israel will attack and kill civilians, and claim to be the victim. It's occupying Palestinian land and if they fight it calls them terrorist.

He has a point.The US, UK and France are blaming hamas. Cutting the oil supplies would put pressure on foreign governments in order to stop the bloodbath in Gaza.

"When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to defend themselves, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing... You can't defend yourself when you're militarily occupying someone else's land. That's not defense. Call it what you like, it's not defense."

May this comment be read by 'the resistance' I am we'll aware, as are many about the true meaning of the word 'revisionist' history. Alas let me provide some for you... During the unnecessary and long and useless Lebanese civil war, their was a time that one political group thought to literally create two separate states in Lebanon. It never happened, however it just may need to be done concerning Dahiya. See, last week I made a comment and it was quickly removed, so, I'll keep it less harsh today. Nassrallah is a mafia boss responsible for the dirtiest business dealings, the slimiest money laundering deals, deals with Venezuela, stolen cars, murder, kidnapping and that's just the appetizers. As long as he greases the hands of the totally clueless Shi'ia, nothing will stop him. FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!

I thought his protege and regional super power is capable of eradicating Israel totally. What are they waiting for? Show those lazy and uncaring Arab countries how it should be done (from Iran though not from Lebanon). Just empty sound bites. they arm the less fortunate so they can do the bidding for them while they play their game.
