| 2010-10-15 |
[Haaretz] Al Manar television reported on Thursday that Iran's diminutive President Mahmoud Short RoundAhmadinejad had met with Hezbullies Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah at Iran's embassy in Beirut prior to the Iranian leader's departure from Leb. A television image of a meeting between Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hezbullies chief Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut October 14, 2010. Images from the meeting were screened by the Hezbullies-linked television network. According to the report, the two discussed a range of issues, and at the culmination of the meeting Nasrallah gave Ahmadinejad a gun, which he claimed had been taken from Israeli soldiers during the 2006 Second Leb War. Nasrallah seldom emerges from his bunker, where he has been staying since the fighting between his Iranian-backed organization and the Israel Defense Forces in southern Leb in 2006. Earlier Thursday, speaking close to Israel's northern border, Ahmadinejad praised what he called "Leb's resistance to the Jewish state" and declared that "Zionists are mortal". Addressing thousands of cheering Hezbullies supporters in Bint Jbeil, where Hezbullies fought fierce battles with Israeli soldiers during the 2006 war, Ahmadinejad said the town symbolized Leb's defiance. "The world should know the Zionists are mortal ... today the Lebanese nation is alive and is a role model for regional nations," the Iranian president said on the second day of a trip that highlighted the growing power of Tehran's ally Hezbullies. Israel's Foreign Ministry said Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel to be wiped from the map, was bringing a message of violence and extremism and was "transforming Leb into a platform for his aggressive plans against Israel." Bint Jbeil is just 4 km (2.5 miles) from the border and Israel's Channel 2 Television said echoes of Ahmadinejad's welcoming ceremony were audible on the Israeli side minutes before he arrived. "I announce that Bint Jbeil is alive and is standing. The world should know that Bint Jbeil is proud and will stand against the enemies till the end," Ahmadinejad said. He also visited Qana, where 106 Lebanese non-combatants were killed in 1996 when Israeli aircraft struck a base run by United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society peacekeepers in which villagers had sought shelter. "You are victorious and your enemies are defeated," Ahmadinejad said. "You will stay and your enemies, who are the enemies of humanity, are on their way to demise and annihilation. You are honored and your Zionist enemies are humiliated and weak." In a symbolic move, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chose to respond to Ahmadinejad from the hall in Tel Aviv where Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, declared the creation of Israel in 1948. "We heard today the cursing and the language of contempt from the Leb border," Netanyahu said at the Land of Israel Museum in Tel Aviv. "...We will continue to build our country and we will know very well how to defend it." |

| #2 MEMRI.ORG > MEMRI TV Archives = HASRAN NASRALLAH IN THE LATE 1980's: LEBANON SHOULD BE BECOME PART OF THE "GREATER ISLAMIC REPUBLIC" [Iran], + RULED BY THE "LEADER IN IRAN" [Divine "Master of Time" = MAHDI] WHOM SHOULD APPOINT ALL ISLMAIC RULERS [Regional + Global]. VIDEO ARTIC = HIZBULLAH's priority [late 1980's]is NOT Lebanese national development. but firstly the ELIMINATION OR DESTRUCTION OF "COLONIALISM" + ISRAELI OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE.ONly after can Hizbullah deva proper plan or schema for Lebanon national development. VERSUS * DAILY TIMES.PK > MUSLIM SCHOLAR: CHRISTIAN EMIGRATION HURTS [Arab-Muslim]MIDDLE EAST. ARTIC = Percentage of dedic Christians in ME has declined froma historic high of 20% to a paltry 5.0% today, CHRISTIAN EMIGRATION "IMPOVERISHES" THE ARABIC IDENTITIY + CULTURAL, ETC. AUTHENCITY. |
