Qassem Says 'Snow, IS, Nusra' Can't Affect Hizbullah Fighters on Border
Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Friday emphasized that his party's situation is “solid” on Lebanon's southern and eastern borders, stressing that it “cannot be shaken by storms, snow, ISIL or al-Nusra” Front.
“I do not at all fear this 'noise' that is called ISIL (Islamic State group) or al-Nusra or anyone who follows them, and the reason is that they do not represent Islam in any way whatsoever,” Qassem said during an educational ceremony.
Eleven Hizbullah fighters were killed around two weeks ago when Syrian militants attacked the group's posts along the Eastern Mountain Range on the Lebanese-Syrian border. But the party regained the initiative, according to media reports, and launched counter-attacks in the mountainous region of Syria's Qalamun.
The unprecedented border battles have prompted Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to visit his group's fighters in person in an apparent show of force aimed at boosting the fighters' morale.
“We are convinced that the situations are hard and complicated in the region and there won't be solutions for years,” Qassem acknowledged.
But “to those who want to know our situations on Lebanon's eastern and southern borders, we say that our situation is very solid and cannot be shaken by storms, snow, the ISIL or al-Nusra,” Hizbullah number two reassured.
“This is a war and war requires men, and we have the men,” Qassem underlined.
“The same as we made one achievement after another, we will continue this path and we're not worried or afraid,” the Hizbullah leader stressed.
Referring to the rival March 14 camp, Qassem added: “Nowadays, when certain voices launch accusations and try to pin the blame on us, we don't respond or argue with them because we believe that they are screaming because of their defeats.”
“The other camp does not have the ability to engage in dialogue during this period because foreign dictates are preventing this dialogue,” Qassem charged, while noting that Hizbullah “extends its hand to discuss the issues that can be resolved, such as some social and economic affairs and administrative appointments.”

أظهر استطلاع للرأي أجراه المعهد في عدد من الدول العربية المشاركة في التحالف الدولي ضد تنظيم الدولة الإسلامية مثل مصر والسعودية، وفي لبنان عن تدني نسبة التأييد لداعش وسط السكان حتى بين السنّة منهم. فقد حظيت داعش بدعم 3% من المصريين الذين شملهم الاستفتاء، في حين لم تتجاوز نسبة الدعم لها في السعودية 5%، واقتصرت نسبة التأييد بين السنّة في لبنان لداعش على 1%. واذا حسبنا نسبة هذا التأييد بالمقارنة مع عدد السكان في هذه الدول فان معنى هذا ان داعش تحظى بتأييد 1,5 مليون مصري، واكثر من نصف مليون سعودي، وبضعة آلاف في لبنان.
واذا كانت جميع الطوائف في لبنان تتوحد في رفضها لداعش الا انها تختلف في تأييدها "لحزب الله" فقد اظهر الاستطلاع ان 92% من الشيعة يؤيدون الحزب، ونحو 40% من المسيحيين يدعمونه، في حين لا تتجاوز نسبة المؤيدين له وسط السنّة 8%. من جهة اخرى تحظى إيران وسوريا بتأييد 79% من الشيعة، في حين نحو 37% من المسيحيين يقفون موقفاً ايجابياً الى حد ما من إيران، ونحو 47% يدعمون سوريا، ويعتقد جزء من المسيحيين في لبنان ان نظام الأسد يحميهم من داعش ومن التنظيمات الإسلامية المتطرفة.

there is a difference between يؤيدون and يدعمون. Regardless, this survey shows 92% of Sunnis and 60% of Christians are against hizballah. That in itself represents the majority of Lebanese. Enough said
Thank you for the link!

You beat me to it @cityboy. I was thinking the same thing, exactly the same! We are so so similar: we are both narcissists, both shia extremists who pretend to be moderates, both have an inferiority complex, both pretend to be secular, and both have multiple accounts. I just hope readers don't think we are the same poster.

أكد رئيس أساقفة بيروت للموارنة المطران بولس مطر ان المسيحيين ليسوا بخطر على الاطلاق، معتبراً ان ما نسب الى البطريرك الماروني الكاردينال مار بشارة بطرس الراعي بأنه لولا “حزب الله” لكان داعش في جونية، هو موقف مدسوس ومن المعيب حتى التفكير به، فالبطاركة الموارنة كانوا ومازالوا منذ 1400 سنة رمزا للسيادة والحرية والديموقراطية دون ان يحميهم احد.

--So what were all the reports that if it wasn't for Hezbollah, Daesh would be in Jounieh?? Are you sure that you guys even represent Islam?? It's hilarious how Sunnis and Shia accuse each other of apostasy.

Spare us your BS FT.
We all know you report your own comments so they get deleted.
You have been made to Eat your own words so many times that you learned the best way to avoid it is to delete them so you don't get caught Lying again.
Now when we accuse you of having said something you have your ritual "Show me the post where I said so" with the certainty that if you go back to any naharnet article there won't be any comments by you left...even though you would have posted the greatest number of posts there.
YES YES YES YES!!! I always go back to articles from a while ago (usually the Aoun articles because they're so funny), and I notice how we're always addressing Flamer in our comments but Flamer's comments don't exist... It's so funny how we're just talking to ourselves.... I wish we can post pictures to "prove" this to Flamer

Sure, someone with headphones on listening to his own propaganda speeches full blast will not hear the "noise" that is at the doorsteps of his heartland.
