Nasrallah brags about Iran’s free guns

LEBANESE TERRORIST LEADER Hassan Nasrallah rejected, again, calls for his group to disarm, instead telling in a televised speech, that Iran supplies weapons to his organization “unconditionally” (read: as long as it fights Israel). Among other things, Hassan Nasrallah vented his disapproval of moderate Arab states’ policy of denying arms to Lebanon.

Nasrallah’s words came during a speech broadcast on Al-Manar television Friday in which he rebuffed calls for the Shi’ite militia to disarm and hand over their weapons to the Lebanese Army, saying such a move would hamper Lebanon’s ability to protect itself from Israel.

Nasrallah also added that Iran would gladly supply Lebanese armed forces with necessary military hardware and that the potential of future conflict with Israel exists, albeit small:

"The option of another conflict against Israel is still far off, although it does exist," Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah said Friday in a televised speech marking nine year’s since the IDF’s withdrawal from south Lebanon.

"The Israelis will continue with their targeted killings policy, as they did with (senior Hizbullah commander Imad) Mugniyah, and (attempt to undermine Hizbullah) with the help of the spy networks that are currently being exposed and by presenting us as a terror group," Nasrallah said in his speech.

…

Nasrallah continued to say that the Shiite group would "arm the Lebanese army and make it strong" should it win the upcoming elections, and suggested that the Lebanese government turn to Iran for military aide, saying Iran would "gladly" supply it.

According to reports, tens of thousands of people gathered to listen to his speech, all the while chanting “Death to Israel”. How nice.

Sadly, it seems few in Lebanon look behind reasons of wars. While many – probably most – in Lebanon condemn Israel, it was Hizb Allah who started the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war, by attacking within internationally recognize borders of Israel. Hizb Allah – by using civilians as cover – brought immense destruction upon Lebanon, including over 1,000 civilians killed.
