Raad: We Won't Betray Our People's National Dignity in New Cabinet
MP Mohammed Raad, the head of Hizbullah's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc, reassured Sunday that the party will not “betray our people's national dignity” through its participation in Prime Minister Tammam Salam's cabinet, which was formed Saturday after an 11-month impasse.
“We demanded an all-embracing cabinet because the others wanted an eliminationist, neutral and de facto cabinets,” Raad said during a memorial service in the southern town of Aitaroun.
“The country is living a crisis, as the longest cabinet formation process in Iran did not exceed 10 days while it took us 10 months to form our cabinet in Lebanon, and the reason is that in Iran there is domestic stability, constants, principles, a wise and sober-minded leadership and officials who are under the law and who abide by (Islamic) Sharia, constitution, principles and constants,” Raad said.
He lamented that “we are in a country where the other camp does not have any constant principles.”
“That's why we need more patience in judging things,” Raad added.
“We will not betray the national dignity of our people who showed endurance throughout 33 days in the face of the Zionist enemy, until they defeated it and foiled its objectives. We will not betray their dignity through this domestic act and the acceptance of such a cabinet,” the Hizbullah lawmaker underlined.
He pointed out that “some parties in Lebanon want to achieve a certain goal, but we want to thwart it through this method of confrontation,” Raad added, referring to Hizbullah's participation in the new cabinet.
“As long as we have the correct vision and approach to achieve these objectives, no one will be able to harm the dignity, pride and right of our people to sovereignty and independence,” the Hizbullah MP added.
“Those claiming to be keen on sovereignty and independence receive their orders from behind the borders, and when orders come, they cannot reject them, because they are subservient to the will of others,” Raad said.

Well let me ask you Raad, isn't Iran and Syria behind the borders and you take orders from them? Roo7 Ballit lba7ar inta wkizbetak.

let me try and answer all your questions/comments:
1. When did they ever deny such support from Iran? I never said that. But when you tell other do no take orders from behind the border then you should be doing the same, correct?
2. they have always received support from them especially in the 90s when the rest of Lebanese were out clubbing and getting drunk while they fought for their land.
We all know that his support from Iran. When HA supposedly "as you all claim" liberated south Lebanon, I was not clubbing, so do not generalize. But I can tell you, I was clubbing and having FUN when your master caused a frikin 33 days war and put the whole country in jeopardy.

4. If you didn't want them fighting in Syria you shoulda told your leaders not to find groups out to destroy them and other minorities in the region. Pathetic
First of all they are not my leaders and I am not defending their actions and I never said I don't want HA fighting in Syria. But since we are in a stupid discussioj, let me tell you how the revolution started, it was peaceful until one of your leaders Assad ordered killing innocent people, just like his father did before - that simple. Then the jhadest started soming in and that's when it got messy. SO YOU ALL ARE THE SAME CRAP TO ME, both sides are guilty at this point.

First of all Lebanon is not Iran, second stop trying to show the people how "good" it is in Iran, why don't you go live there. We are not going to buy your BS about Iran and Lebanon will never be like Iran - get it in your head.

You already did, look around you and stop feeding your people BS. As for you 33 days "glorious" war, you did not win anything. Instead because of your party, innocent Lebanese people's were destroyed and you said "Iran" will help rebuilt, Few months later you ran like a little tootoo to Lebanese government to help repay for the damages. So again why don't you go live in Iran since it is soooo much better there

It does not take too much time when you are making good decisions, only takes longer because you are always trying to come up with a BS scenario to make your people feed off it.

Anything that allows the tentacles of western banks and corporations to take over our country is flat out rejected.
They are not taking over, they just don't want to allow you to funnel blood/dirty/drug/BS money to HA - so get used to it.

"hahaha" indeed, you speak of things you know nothing about. this is mainly a saudi/gulfy thing, where they think their dirty oil money allows them to take young girls from vulnerable families, and "marry" for a few hours. this situation has existed for a very long time in egypt, and since the war in syria it also extended to refugee camps all around syria.
"Each year, in El Hawamdia and other impoverished rural communities across Egypt, thousands of girls between the ages of 11 and 18 are sold by their parents to wealthy, much older Gulf Arab men under the pretext of marriage. The sham nuptials may last from a couple of hours to years, depending on the negotiated arrangement"

He talks about the sharia? But we are not interested in your sharia law. We want to live and to seek happiness. Go stick your sharia law where the sun doesnt shine.
And why all this arrogant talk? because you were not chosen as a minister?

The rat Nabih Berri travels to the Gulf and talks of Muslims and Arabs being united, and our good friend Raad talks here of not betraying God knows what?! Unless these two people believe that they are talking to nerds will they one day wake up to a Lebanon that will no longer entertain their utter egocentricity, all based on even utterly selfish agendas, nothing to do with the national good. Tsk...

At one point in time HA was respected by a large swath of us Lebanese, myself included. They holier than though behavior that started coming out to the from after the Israelis withdrew took most of us by surprise until it culminated in the realization that theirs is not, and never was, an indigenous Lebanese philosophy. It is by now clear that they never keep their word and will always find an excuse to break whatever they agree on with other Lebanese.
Now we have this guy with Neanderthal mentality preaching to us as if he and his party are God's representatives in Lebanon. They are no better than the takfiris they profess they are protecting us from no matter how they keep trying to package themselves. Once an extremist, always an extremist and Lebanon by definition loathes the likes of HA philosophy.

those who speak against hezz are the ones who are still slaves for thier Israeli masters they dont serve lebanon hezz has gave many people defending you and not allowing a Wahhabi bearded scum to cut your head and this is how you thank them I am just amazed that they left you alive i would leave the Wahhabi just to cut your head and rape your mom and sister and your wife and then lets see who is going to defend you,if we stay out of everything like mister "النئي بالنفس" we would also catch the fire since Lebanon is on the agenda of Isis and if they didn't act fast you would have isis sitting in christian villages killing your people
