HEZBOLLAH REARMING, DESPITE TREATY [+] ballot by herzog created Sun Feb 25, 07 Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah publicly admits that his organization is rearming and secretly transporting arms to south Lebanon, in blatant violation of Security Council Resolution 1701. Nasrallah sends a clear message to his opponents: Hezbollah is determined to maintain its status as “the defender of Lebanon”. Summary of Nasrallah’s speech 1. On February 16, 2007, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah gave a belligerent, arrogant speech in a ceremony held in south Beirut (in the neighborhood of Al-Rawis) on the anniversary of the killing of two senior Hezbollah figures. In his speech, Nasrallah admitted that his organization was rearming and secretly smuggling arms and ammunition to south Lebanon , in blatant violation of Security Council Resolution 1701 (which ended the second Lebanon war). 2. Following are the highlights of Hassan Nasrallah's speech (Al-Manar Television, February 16): a. Hezbollah is rearming: “We are being very clear and we are saying that we have arms. We are not lying and telling it to the whole world. We have arms … of all shapes and sizes… The resistance has arms. It is saying it in public, adding that it is rearming and increasing the scope of its armament in order to get more dangerous arms…” b. Hezbollah is secretly transporting arms to the Israeli front: “The resistance notes that it is transporting the arms to the front. We do not hide it. Doing it in secret is only natural. Could we do it openly? How?... We concealed our arms because we wanted to conceal them from our enemies… We are transporting the arms in secret because it is our right… We are transporting the arms secretly and in straw trucks so as to not embarrass you …” c. Confiscating a Hezbollah arms truck by the Lebanese government (February 8): “…As for the resistance and the latest incident of the arms truck, which, incidentally, contained ammunition—that is, Katyushas —surprisingly, we heard many people claim that it was explosive charges, guns, and rifles, that we were smuggling for the parties … The customs know what the truck contained… The Lebanese army, too, submitted a report about it to senior officials… The arms confiscated are arms taken from their rightful owners…” d. Hezbollah as the “defender of Lebanon ”, helping the Lebanese army: “In the last confrontation in front of Maroun al-Ras, 1 members of the resistance were in top shape to assist the officers and soldiers of the Lebanese army if the conflict had developed. The resistance in south Lebanon is not a burden on the Lebanese army genuine assistance for the Lebanese army. For our arms are the arms of the Lebanese army, our rockets are the rockets of the Lebanese army, our depots are the depots of the Lebanese army… Together, side by side, we will fight to defend Lebanon …” e. Hezbollah is committed to continue terrorism in its capacity as the “defender” of Lebanon : “…We stress our commitment to the resistance , to the cause of the resistance and to the project of the resistance that defends the homeland… I am saying that we will remain on the border, in Beirut , and everywhere in Lebanon . We are Lebanese, and this country is our country… Every clod of earth in the south is to us a drop of a shahid's blood. Every rock in the south is to us a shahid's body… Every olive tree in the south is to us the loving and sparkling soul of the jihad warriors of the resistance… and Hezbollah… is willing to wage jihad and persist with its struggle for justice in all areas…” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So he has very blatantly, and very publicly admitted what some of us have known all along: that hezbollah has absolutely no interest in following the peace treaty between Lebanon and Israel laid out by the UN. How do you think the UN will respond to such contempt for their dictates? They will do nothing, expect perhaps more meaningless treaties They will send in more troops and crack down on hezbollah They will pull out and hope for the best Ballot #112509 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
