Hezbollah says the time is ripe to bring down Sharon
  • Calls to Arab leaders to provide the intifada with material support and not back peace initiatives are mounting the run-up to the Arab League summit in Beirut at the end of the month. Hizbullah secretary-general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Arab leaders Sunday against confusing the concept of supporting the intifada with peace initiatives, in reference to Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah’s proposal of full peace with the Jewish state in return for a full withdrawal from Arab territories occupied in 1967. Addressing Arab leaders, he said: "Now is the historic opportunity for you to bring Sharon down. Don’t give him the opportunity that Zinni and (US President) George Bush want him to have."

    Nasrallah criticized Arab regimes for not backing the intifada on a military level. "If you are unable to supply Palestinians with weapons, then just overlook acts of sending (arms) to them," he said commenting on the detention and release of two Hizbullah members in Jordan, arrested for trying to smuggle Katyusha rockets to unidentified Palestinians. “Hizbullah attempted to smuggle arms via Jordan, and not from south Lebanon, because we have no borders with the West Bank or Gaza,” Nasrallah explained.
    "I'm warning you guys, you ain't fanatical enough!"
