The Daily Star.
Nasrallah also accused the US and Israel of being terrorist countries,
which "throw terrorism accusations, when they never succeeded in
defining to us what the true meaning of terrorism is."
Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan have condemned Hizbullah's abduction of
the two Israeli soldiers on July 12, 2006, describing it as a "rash act."
Of course in addition to their local stooges that repeated their
master's voice!!!!
BEIRUT: Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Israel on
Tuesday against launching another war on Lebanon, saying any attempt
to attack the country "will be faced with a colossal surprise likely
to change the fate of the war and the region." "You might say I am
exercising a war of nerves ... This is true yet my war of nerves is
based on truthful facts and aims at avoiding any war," Nasrallah told
a massive rally in a televised address.
Tens of thousands of Hizbullah supporters flocked to the Raya pitch in
the southern suburbs of Beirut to celebrate the "divine victory" over
Israel during the 34-day war last year.
Final preparations for the event continued until late Monday night
when thousands of chairs were being spread across the field. Several
giant screens were set up at the field's corners, to allow the
attendants a full view of Nasrallah.
While Nasrallah's address focused on the outcomes and repercussions of
the summer 2006 war, domestic issues occupied a small portion of his
90-minute speech.
The Sayyed said his group supported mediation efforts to be undertaken
by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in the upcoming week in a bid to
reach a solution to the ten-month-old political impasse.
"We support a compromise in Lebanon and we warn the Lebanese against
attempts undertaken by the United States and some Lebanese politicians
to hamper any resolutions to the crisis," he said.
Nasrallah was referring to statements made on Saturday by MP Walid
Jumblatt, who said that anyone who thinks of reaching a compromise or
a settlement with the opposition would be considered a traitor and
would be "condemned morally and politically."
Nasrallah renewed his support for the Lebanese Army, saying the US
rejected the concept of having a "strong army in Lebanon capable of
protecting its land and people before our army stops considering
Israel as an enemy."
"The resistance along with the army and the courageous people of
Lebanon will achieve a victory every time," he said.
Nasrallah also accused the US and Israel of being terrorist countries,
which "throw terrorism accusations, when they never succeeded in
defining to us what the true meaning of terrorism is."
Nasrallah has not made any public appearances in political rallies
since the victory rally on September 22, 2006.
He dedicate the victory in the summer 2006 war, "to all those
oppressed in the world."
"Our victory acted as a ray of light to all those people in the world
who are oppressed and alienated and encouraged them to seek change,"
he added.
Nasrallah addressed the Arabs, rather than their leaders, and thanked
them for their "moral support" during the war. "We did not ask for
more," he added. Journalists and artists from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and
other Arab countries attended the rally.
"We should all realize that had the resistance lost the war, not only
Lebanon, Syria and Palestine would have suffered from the negative
repercussions but also Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt."
Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan have condemned Hizbullah's abduction of
the two Israeli soldiers on July 12, 2006, describing it as a "rash act."
Also commenting on the occasion, Hizbullah's major ally in the
opposition, Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) leader Michel Aoun, said
Lebanon's victory over Israel during the summer 2006 war, "held
valuable meanings."
"Unfortunately," Aoun's Tuesday statement said, "internal skirmishes
curtailed such a historical victory and this is only indicative of a
very low sense of nationalism."
Aoun said that the memorandum of understanding between the FPM and
Hizbullah has grown more solid since it was forged.
He added that the memorandum has "shaped a clear-cut proposal for
Lebanon's future and offered a reliable means to shift Lebanon's
identity from a sectarian one to a citizenship one."
