Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in televised speech marking Liberation and Resistance Day: I greet you on the Liberation and Resistance Day and I will speak about several topics -- this occasion, the municipal vote, the parliamentary polls, and the situation in the region. almost 9 years

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stressed Wednesday that the famous “army-people-resistance equation” will remain “a source of strength for the country,” as he criticized rival political parties who are not in favor of an electoral law based on the proportional representation system.

“The army-people-resistance equation will remain a source of strength for the country in this era of Arab inaction and global support for Israel,” Nasrallah underlined in a televised speech marking Liberation and Resistance Day.

“Some want the Lebanese to forget Israel's barbarity and terrorism and on the Liberation and Resistance Day we must remind of that. We must remind that Israel is the main and real enemy that is seeking to usurp our resources and that it is the biggest threat for our country and the region, although some parties are seeking to turn it into a friend and ally,” he said.

“Our strength in Lebanon is being targeted and the entire axis of resistance in this nation is being targeted. Some do not want the army to get stronger and they are even taking advantage of individual incidents to practice sectarian incitement in order to tear our people apart,” Nasrallah warned, noting that “everyone must be concerned with preserving the elements of strength.”

Speaking of parties that are allegedly “conspiring” against Hizbullah in Lebanon, Nasrallah added: “Let some in Lebanon stop conspiring over and under the table against the resistance, the army and the people, but especially against the resistance.”

He also reminded that “we have land that is still under occupation – the Shebaa Farms, the Kfarshouba Hills and the Ghajar village – and we have captives and missing people whose families are still waiting for them to return.”

Addressing the Palestinian people, Hizbullah's chief added: “Beware of those who are trying to take advantage of the current ambiguities in the region in order to turn Israel into a friend and ally. Beware and do not count on those who have let you down for 70 years.”

“You won't receive any support or good things from them and your only salvation lies in your unity and perseverance,” he said, referring to Arab Gulf countries.

“The axis of resistance will not be defeated in the ongoing battle in the region. It will emerge victorious and the banner of Palestine will be raised again. The only conflict in the region will be over the Palestinian cause,” Nasrallah vowed.

Turning to Lebanon's domestic affairs, Hizbullah's chief emphasized that his party does not support the 1960 electoral law under which the country's last parliamentary elections were held in 2009.

“We want to replace it with a modern and correct electoral law,” he said.

Citing the results of the municipal polls, Nasrallah added: “We and the AMAL Movement will lose parliamentary seats under a law based on proportional representation and yet we are demanding such a law.”

“What is better? The Shiite duo or unilateralism? Under a law based on proportional representation, a third bloc might emerge from the Shiite regions, while you are rejecting proportional representation because you are insisting on monopolization and unilateralism in your sects and regions,” Nasrallah added, mainly addressing al-Mustaqbal Movement and the Progressive Socialist Party.

“Proportional representation does not eliminate anyone. We are calling for proportional representation but if the term of the current parliament expires, we're with holding the elections under any law,” he announced.

As for the country's presidential crisis, Nasrallah called on rival parties to “engage in dialogue and negotiate” with Free Patriotic Movement founder MP Michel Aoun.

“You must not turn your back to others and accuse them of obstructing the presidential vote,” he added.

You sound frightened, more than usual. You think Hariri has let the cat out of the bag, do you, by saying that a majority of Lebanese are Shias, which means the present system, however the assigned-by-sect seats are filled, is grossly unjust and in fact racist. Well, nobody can force you to respect Shias as equals. You have to decide that on your own. Perhaps your trying to start a lynch mob is your first step to recognizing Shias as human beings.

God is greater, and you're going to find that out. Can't wait, can you? The Jesuits say Deus semper maior, same thing.

what victory is this terrorist talking about? I am sure he does not mean the complete defeat when the Israelis besieged our port and airport, when their army reached the Litany river, when all our bridges and infrastructure were leveled to the ground, or when dahyeh was rendered to a football field.

BS artist.
He betrays his national allegiance with the statement "the victory of them all". The Lebanese should celebrate liberation day as a "victory for them all". The jackass, if he identified as a Lebanese he would have said , "a victory for all of us", not for "them", the Lebanese, of which he is not one.
Traitor, BS artist supreme. Prevaricator in Chief.

شريعة الغاب تابع... لاحقوه بعد اشكال في الصباح وقتلوه في سيارته

http://www.annahar.com/article/390712-شريعة-الغاب-تابع-لاحقوه-بعد-اشكال-في-الصباح-وقتلوه-في-سيارته?utm_source=mostread&utm_medium=annahar&utm_campaign=trending

ذكرت "الوكالة الوطنية للاعلام" أن مسلحين داخل سيارة أقدما على اطلاق الرصاص على المدعو مهدي ز. في منطقة الليلكي قرب مطعم زين الدين، مما أدى إلى قتله على الفور.

وفي التفاصيل أن خلافا وقع صباحا، بين المغدور وشبان من آل زعيتر ، وقد تطور لاحقا، وصولا إلى ملاحقة مهدي وقتله.

ومنذ قليل وصلت القوى الأمنية الى منطقة الليلكي وطوقت المكان، وتعمل حاليا، على تنفيذ مداهمات بحثا عن مطلقي النار.

أرعبها ما وجدته فجأة على زجاج سيّارتها... أعجوبة أنقذت حياة ميرنا في الدورة

http://www.annahar.com/article/390451-أرعبها-ما-وجدته-فجأةعلى-زجاج-سيارتها-أعجوبة-أنقذت-حياة-ميرنا-في-الدورة

تقول في حديثٍ لـ"النهار" أنّه "تبيّن لي أنها رصاصة كلاشنيكوف استقرّت في السيارة بعدما اخترقت الزجاج نتيجة اطلاق الرصاص الحيّ في الهواء تزامناً مع اطلالة الأمين العام لحزب الله السيد حسن نصرالله في خطبة تلفزيونية. كنت برفقة ابني الذي يجلس بقربي من اليمين، وأمي التي تجلس خلف ابني في المقعد الخلفي. وكنت أنا بمفردي من جهة الشمال، حيث اخترقت الرصاصة الزجاج". هي الخطوة الإضافيّة التي تقدّمتها السيارة التي تسبق سيّارتها مَن أنقذ ميرنا من الموت المحتّم أو الإصابة الخطرة أقلّه. ولو لم يحصل ذلك، لكانت الرصاصة اخترقت السقف وأصابت رأسها أو جسدها بدلاً من الزجاج.
