Nasrallah Touts Armed Resistance On 'liberation Day'

2012-05-26

Up is down, left is right -- all the usual. Not to mention another Arab nation celebrating a historic war loss to Israel.

[Jerusalem Post] Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah on Friday called Israel's construction of a wall along its northern border a potent testament to the victory of armed "resistance groups," according to Leb Now.

Speaking on the anniversary of Lebanese Liberation Day, which commemorates the IDF's withdrawal from southern Leb in May 2000, Nasrallah said: "Liberation day ended the project called 'Greater Israel,'" according to Leb Now.

"The project of Greater Israel always aimed for big territory bordered by rivers," he said.

Ah, yes. That highly fertilized Arab imagination. All sorts of ideas grow there that would die from lack of nourishment elsewhere.

"These walls built by Israel along the border with Paleostine and Leb show that the project of Greater Israel is over. The project of having rivers as borders ended with having walls for borders."

In an apparent reference to Egypt, which negotiated the return of the Sinai Peninsula in 1979, Nasrallah touted his country's record on having achieved the evacuation of IDF forces without resorting to diplomatic methods. "The land of the south was restored to the Lebanese with dignity and without conditions," he said.

So you've rebuilt all those piles of rubble into living buildings, have you?

Hezbollah's secretary-general stated that the strategy of armed activity has been the only one to produce results. "The weapons of the resistance have accomplished [something], but the weapons of other organizations did not accomplish [anything]," he said.

Nasrallah's comments on weaponization came amidst calls in Leb for the organization to disarm to allow the state to achieve a monopoly on weapons.

Nasrallah also commented on the formation of a national-unity government in Israel, saying it was the result of internal political considerations. He warned, however, that Leb must remain vigilant against Israeli aggression.
