Nasrallah: Some Points of March 14 Tripoli Proclamation are Declaration of War
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah criticized on Friday the March 14 camp's accusations against some Shiites in Lebanon of seeking to eliminate other powers in Lebanon.
He warned: “Such a proclamation is a declaration of war.”
He made his remark in reference to Sunday's March 14 Tripoli Proclamation that accused some Sunnis, Shiites, and Christians of adopting extremist positions in Lebanon.
Nasrallah added: “We do not want to wage a war with the March 14 camp. We have no time for them as our battle lies with Israel.”
The Hizullah secretary general made his speech during the commemoration of the assassination of party official Hassan al-Laqqis.
He continued: “The other camp is accusing us of seeking to eliminate the other, but its remarks are the ones that seek such goals.”
“Their proclamation views us as takfiris and murderers,” he warned.
Moreover, Nasrallah interpreted the March 14 camp's refusal to return to the national dialogue table and its rejection of Hizbullah in a new government as attempts to eliminate the party and the March 8 camp.
He later noted however that the Tripoli Proclamation could be viewed as part of the March 14 camp's media campaign against Hizbullah.
Commenting on recent regional developments, he stressed: “Our resistance takes place at battle and not elsewhere. We are proud of martyrdom, whether in combating Israel or takfiris or whether they were victims of assassinations.”
“We tell those questioning the resistance, its members and supporters, that they have barely scratched the surface of what we are capable of,” he warned.
“I could easily make a speech and call for general mobilization, but the recent developments indicate that we have no need for it,” he added.
Addressing efforts to form a new government, he said: “There is no such thing as a neutral cabinet in Lebanon as there are no longer any neutral candidates.”
He also warned against the formation of a de facto government, saying: “We do not advise anyone to take such a step.”
He therefore suggested the formation of a national unity government, which will ensure Lebanon's salvation.
Commenting on the 2014 presidential election, the Hizbullah chief remarked: “We cannot emphasize enough the importance of having a new president on May 25, 2014.”
“It is unfortunate however that instead of working to reach an agreement, the political powers are beginning to accuse each other of seeking presidential vacuum,” he added.
“I don't think that any side wants vacuum and Hizbullah adamantly rejects it. A new president should be elected on time and we will exert all efforts to achieve this goal.,” he said.
“The political powers can demonstrate their sovereignty through electing a president without relying on foreign forces,” he stressed.
“We would be paving the way for a new phase in Lebanon if we succeed in electing a new president without foreign influence. Such a success would mark a new independence day for the country,” he declared.
Turning to recent security incidents against the army, Nasrallah stated that “no one should make light of them.”
“All will be lost if the army is lost. All will be lost if the army's credibility is destroyed,” he warned.
“We must protect and support the army because it is the last remaining state institution that enjoys the consensus of the rival powers,” he added.
In addition, the Hizbullah chief warned that some sides, who he refused to name, “have had enough of their failures and frustrations and they now want to lead Lebanon towards chaos.”
“Take out your frustrations against Hizbullah, but not the whole of Lebanon,” he commented.
“Lebanese leaders and the media should be wary of the new danger facing the country. We must all be patient and avoid getting dragged into plans to lead Lebanon to chaos,” he cautioned.
Addressing Laqqis' assassination earlier in December, Nasrallah renewed Hizbullah's accusation that Israel was behind the crime, vowing that the party will “punish” it for it.
"The killers will be punished sooner or later... Those who killed our brothers will not know safety anywhere in the world," he said in the televised tribute to Laqqis.
"We and the Israelis have accounts that need settling. There are old and new debts between us," said Nasrallah.
Israel has denied involvement in the assassination.
Laqqis' "blood has not been spilt in vain... The punishment will come whenever we decide it," Hizbullah's secretary general added.
"The Israelis think that Hizbullah is busy (with Syria's war) and with the situation in Lebanon... I tell them: 'You're making a mistake,'" he said.
Thousands of Hizbullah troops are fighting alongside President Bashar Assad's troops, in a bid to crush a massive insurgency.
Laqqis was assassinated in the parking of his apartment building on December 4 in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a stronghold of Hizbullah.
Nasrallah said the top leader was "one of the brains of Hizbullah," though he refused to reveal his position in the party, though he did say his role was linked to his "work as a jihadist."
"He worked to develop (Hizbullah's) capacity," said Nasrallah, adding he was "a brother and a friend."
The last time a top Hizbullah leader was assassinated was in 2008, when Imad Mughnieh was killed in a Damascus car bomb blast.
Mughnieh's killing was also blamed on Israel, Hizbullah's sworn enemy, which denied involvement.

LOL but it seems it does not bother you that hezbollah is owned by IRAN and take their orders from IRAN... pledged allegiance to IRAN...
and you believe that people will not defend themselves? let hezbis do whatever they want? or you believe that hezbollah actually can do whatever they want even DISOBEYING their state?
so the direct consequence of your hezbis doing whatever they want is to trigger counteractions, it is mathematical.... so blame hezbollah for the salafis uprising, no one else!
you are the biggest hypocrit ....

we are in lebanon so i talk about lebanon! i talk about the salafis in lebanon!
what is the problem?
you talk about what is going on all over the world only to deflect that lebanon never faced the salafis terrorism before but now because of your hezbi involvment in syria, salafis are defending themselves against hezbollah....
so i do not care about what is going on in the world but here in lebanon....

Hassan has shown once again what a Lying manipulator of sheep he is:
1- Hezbollah is not a Lebanese resistance to protect Lebanon from Israel! It's an Iranian Shiite resistance against anyone who's a threat to their plan to take over Lebanon. He makes it very clear when no single one of his quotes mention Resistance and Lebanese at the same time.
2- The war in Syria has nothing to do with Takfiris, Hassan Kezballah ignores the millions of legitimate opponents to the Assad regime who are not takfiris but normal people who want to live free.
3- He talks about his "Martyrs" (may they burn in hell) but ignores the real patriotic martyrs who died for Lebanon (not for Hezbollah or other sects). They were killed under the orders of Bashar by the hands of Hezbollah members. We lebanese do not recognize Hezbollah casualties in Syria as Martyrs ... they were mercenaries who died for Bashar el Assad.

@Hassan Kezballah : M14 is declaring war ???? how can an unarmed side declare war ? With what army ? With what weapons ?
The only one declaring war is you ! You have the monopoly of warmaking decision with complete disregard to the rest of us lebanese who want to live in peace.
Hassan Kezballah is a traitor and his judgment day will come. He will be hanged for high treason and the shiites will be free of an oppressive party that is in every point the same as Sunni extremists... give or take an entire army !

ft dixit :'sectarianism is saying bashar is decimating sunnis, which means that with his 15-20% non sunni syrians, he is slaughtering the 80-85% of the remaining syrians and has been managing to do so for the past 3 years, which is only a plausible scenario for sectarian and delusional M14.'
can somebody explain to ft how 15-20% boers were controlling 80-85% blacks. If u're armed well, 5-10% can control the rest...
The airforce, the intelligence, the presidential guard, the 4th division and the logistics are alawite. That enough to control Syria+Lebanon. Thats without counting the fighters and advisers from HizbIran, Iraq, Iran, Russia,Turkey,etc...

1. HA who now represents the government of Lebanon is labelled as a terrorist organisation by the West and the Arab World.
2. Hassan has directly threatened us with his proclamation that we have hardly scratched the surface of his military might.
3. Guilty or innocent, HA is accused by the International community of the Harriri assassination.
4. Our foreign policy is dictated by HA to the extrem. Our incapacitated President, Our incapable commander of the army, our irrelevant Prime Minister and our Reverant Patriarch all are against HA's involment in Syria. Cont....

This is the state of our affairs, like it or not, this is how the the whole International community views us. The cowardly M14 accuse HA of trying to take over Lebanon, when realistically they already have. Lebanon is now part of the Iran, Iraq, Syrian axis and we have no say in the matter.
What baffles me is the fact that you two bananas try to defend HA's actions when we are incapable of doing anything about it anyway. It would be more honourable if you just smirk at our futile attempts to change things and not defend HA actions.

Here is a Quote from that same article...
The Selore meeting showed an extraordinary level of cordiality between old enemies. The early mornings were punctuated by howls as middle-aged generals slipped into the chateau’s chilly pond for a dip; initial coldness quickly gave way to swapping anecdotes of wars in Lebanon and memories of the Iranian revolution. There was even talk of Iran’s future strategic partnership with the West and Israel against the Sunni powers of the Gulf – fanciful stuff today, but a sign of how far thinking can go when a deal is close....
FUNNY ...

sorry but who decides what the "correct form" of a religion is? take christians, is catholic more correct than protestant? is orthodox more correct than evangelist? each will obviously believe his or hers is the best/rightest/whatever, and good for them, but what does it matter what others believe? so stupid and arrogant.

For all the Jews and Christian and all sects and faiths other than Islam I do respect and believe in your right to practice your faith ... In Islam, in the Quran Allah (most high) says there is No compulsion in religion ... Even Allah (most high) has guaranteed that inalienable right...

@watan-libnan, Sayed Hassan reminds me of someone who in his days probably yielded more power and muscle in his days than Sayed Hassan, that was Yasser Arafat and his PLO. In his litmus days, Arafat was so cocky and arrogant, so drunken from his fearful power that he used to state on TV that he was the president of Lebanon. As usual, our president was too emasculated to do or say anything that would annoy Arafat. Then as usual, our politicians took the role of street cops for him and his PLO. I made this remark more often than not, that I fear that Sayed Hassan and Hezbollah could end up in the same way as Arafat and the PLO did, no matter how cunning or smart they may be, the big players have a way of trimming such people down. I see it as just a matter of time and timing.

What do you call resistance ie ( destroying lebanon) lebanon does not belong to one man or one party it belongs to the lebanese and the lebanese are free people not to be ruled by a dictator and nassrollah is acting like a dictator who elected him to tell us lebanese how anything should be done if he wants to form a political party he is free to do that and follow the constitution like every political party and the only arms should be in the hands of the law enforcement and army full stop
