Nasrallah: US offered Hezbollah money to cede resistance
[PRESSTV] His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...says the US offered money to Hezbollah to forgo resistance following the failure of several attempts to destroy the resistance movement. Nasrallah said Sunday the United States, Israel and their regional allies have been conspiring against the resistance movement since the 2000 liberation of southern Leb from the Israeli occupation. The Hezbollah chief made the remarks during an electoral rally in the town of Nabatiyeh, calling for a high turnout in Leb’s upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled to be held on May 6. "Following the 2000 victory, the Israeli enemy, along with the US, had realized that Leb’s real power lies within its resistance, which has managed to force the Israeli occupation out of Leb without any condition," he said. Former US Vice President Dick Cheney assigned the US-Lebanese journalist George Nader to offer Hezbollah anything at that time in return for stopping resistance, Nasrallah said. "We were offered money and to be part of the authority in Leb on condition that we cede resistance," he said, noting that "My fault at that time was that I didn’t accept to take his paper, so that it would be a proof now." Nasrallah stressed that the US offer was repeated after the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Leb in 2005. The Hezbollah chief said some European countries also made such offers.
