Hezbollah leader slams Saudi campaign: You say the new situation threatens you Do you not feel the threat posed by Israel?
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday bemoaned the Saudi-led Arab coalition engaged in a campaign against rebels forces in Yemen, saying Arabs should unite against Israel rather than the Houthi militias who have taken over the capital Sanaa and much of the country over the past months.
The leader of Lebanons Shiite terror group slammed Saudi Arabias intervention in Yemen, dubbed Operation Decisive Storm, calling it surprising and painful.
Hezbollah, like Yemens Houthi rebels, is supported by Iran, which Saudi Arabia views as its main regional rival. Iran has openly armed and assisted Hezbollah since its creation, but both Iran and the Houthis deny Tehran has sent arms to the Yemeni rebels.
Nasrallah said Hezbollah would have been glad to be partners in a coalition against Israel, but lamented the fact that for decades there has been no Decisive Storm, not even a slight gust of resolve to fight Israel.
Nasrallah expressed wonder that Riyadh felt compelled to intervene in Yemen, when everything that has happened in our region for years didnt necessitate Saudi intervention.
You say the new situation in Yemen threatens your national security, he noted. Do you not feel the threat posed by Israel, which has one of the strongest armies in the world?
He continued: This means that in the eyes of (the Saudis) Israel is not an enemy or a threat that requires such a storm.'
Nasrallah accused Saudi Arabia of abandoning the Palestinian people, leaving the region to Israel to murder and expel, and to the US to search for an illuionary diplomatic solution.
You have money, so why do the Palestinain people live in poverty? This people has called on Iran to aid it, and Iran, despite the economic siege placed upon it thanks to you, has given everything it can to the Palestinian people, both by way of its diplomatic positions and through funding and weapons.
But Nasrallah denied that Yemens rebels were being aided militarily be Iran.
Where are the Iranian armies in Yemen and where are the Iranian bases there? he asked.
The real reason for the campaign, Nasrallah asserted, is that Saudi Arabia lost its control and dominance in Yemen and the aim of war is to restore control and hegemony over Yemen. Period.
The Hezbollah leader suggested Riyadh would suffer a humiliating defeat if it didnt resolve the conflict through negotiations.
Throughout history, invaders were defeated and the invaders were humiliated, Nasrallah said. The rulers in Saudi Arabia still have an opportunity in order not to face a humiliating defeat.
Nasrallah said the countries taking part in the military campaign should review their policies. Should the region go to war because of Saudi money? he asked.
In some of his harshest comments to date, Nasrallah accused Saudi Arabia of sending suicide attackers to Iraq and of creating the Islamic State group. Addressing Saudi Arabia, he said Iran had expanded its influence in the region because you are lazy, losers, and you dont take responsibility.
Pass the popcorn....this might get good.
Islam vs Islam ... it just doesn’t get any better than that.
they tried that once, not good results.
The "threat" posed by the lonely outpost of civilization in the Middle East.
The Saudis have a long memory where once the British through Lawence of Arabia were best of friends until a fall out over the dividing of the middle east after ww1.
We had a special relationship from FDR to GW Bush and now Obama has destroyed it.
I have mixed feelings about our relationship with the Saudis. In some ways they have been very good allies. However, many of their royalty support Al Qaeda and hate the West. They have also been one of the driving forces behind the relentless Muslim colonization of the West.
A pox on all their houses—let ‘em kill each other.
Israel threatens NO Arab state....and only engages in military measures when attacked or threatened with attack, or of course to take out enemy nuclear bomb factories
speaking of which.....?
They see your sponsor, Iran, as a more immediate threat. And guess what? You may be next, mofo.
This guy, Nostrilalah is pretty sharp to have figured this out on his own. He must have been one of the top scholars in his madras. I'll bet he's feeling pretty lonely right now. Glad he's poking the Arabs in the eye though.
I expect to see this ME unrest, even among themselves, to continue for a time...but eventually the storms will increase and strengthen to an end the entire world will cringe and then some.
I believe all we see in the ME and World Wide , all the shifting etc.....well, we are living in a time where the stage is being set for the beginnings of the ultimate satanic challenge to God.
the alluh death cult...wont stop until they....are defeated in the BIG ONE!!
That would a very short attack and would not turn out so well for the Arab countries.....
