Aoun: They Want to Kill the Resistance to Help Israeli Plans to Naturalize Palestinians in Lebanon
2010-09-27
[An Nahar] Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah accused western powers on Sunday of wanting to "kill" Hizbullah to prevent it from stopping Israel to implement its decision to naturalize Paleostinians in Leb.

which is an obstacle in the face of Israel. The first decision they want to implement is naturalization, but as long as there is a resisting people there is no naturalization," Aoun said following mass at Saint Takla church in Bkessine in Jezzine district.

Giving the example of "lies" by the Bush administration to launch war on Iraq, the MP wondered: "What would prevent the Security Council and the international community from coming up with a new lie and covering up the truth by preventing the prosecution of false witnesses" in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination case.

"We were accused of conspiring against our country because we respected our words," he said.

he blamed the people for not confronting corrupt rulers, saying state money was being spent without surveillance and control.

"Our presence ends with emigration and land sales," he said. He also hailed the residents of holding onto their lands in the area, urging them not to sell their properties despite high real estate prices.
