Berri Criticizes Arab League's Label of Hizbullah
Speaker Nabih Berri indirectly criticized on Monday the Arab League's closing statement that named Hizbullah a “terrorist” organization.
“Thanks and sorry...Thank God and sorry that we in Lebanon have fought the Israelis,” said Berri in a post on his Facebook page.
Berri did not make further remarks.
The closing statement of an emergency Arab League meeting on Sunday labeled Hizbullah as “terrorist”, which prompted Lebanon’s representative to voice reservations over certain clauses.
The statement accused Hizbullah of “training terrorist groups” in Bahrain, “supporting terrorist groups” in Saudi Arabia, and “supporting terror and terrorist groups in Arab countries with advanced weapons and ballistic missiles.”
And describing Hizbullah as a “partner in the Lebanese government,” the statement also accused the group of “spreading extremism and sectarianism” and “interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.”
The Lebanese envoy to the meeting, Antoine Azzam, made carefully weighed comments at the talks.
While not mentioning Iran by name, he said Lebanon condemned all attacks against Arab nations, but blamed exploitable inter-Arab divisions that allowed international and regional powers to promote their interests.

"The arabs conquered us in the 8th century and the persians reconquered us again wih hezbollah."
and you support a president who is hezbollah's number one ally and who helped hezbollah take total control of Lebanon. Aoun's agenda and commitments to hezbollah and iran have been known for many years. Yet, you and your likes were insisting on having him as your president. Hence, stop complaining and enjoy it.

So... we are supposed to always remember that you fought the Israelis in the 80's... but we must forget that at these same times, you wanted to establish an Islamic Republic in Lebanon...?? Selective memory ya estez... selective memory...
The arabs conquered us in the 8th century and the persians reconquered us again wih hezbollah.
In fact we are not really arab. We are lebanese first, we are turned to the sea, not to the syrian desert. We are mediterranean second. True arabic language stuck with us. But we have more in common with all med people then arabic people. So arabs and persian can go to hell.
