Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah-Maharram 10, 1423 Posted on Saturday, April 6, 2002
The Secretary-General of Hizbullah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah addresses the people at the conclusion of their march on the 10th day of Muharram (3/24/02)
Dear brothers and sisters, May peace be upon you;
"We meet again while the memory returns wearing the perfume of dignity and pride created by blood and martyrdom..."
"We are calling for the Arab Summit to loudly raise its voice, at the beginning of its opening statement, and to frankly declare support of the Infifada and resistance of Palestine and Lebanon; any statements issued without supporting Intifada and the resistance would be statements that were dictated by an American will and an Arabic hand."....
"Israel is an absolute lie and an emergent raping entity, yet it is a cancerous gland that should be extracted, and a terrorist occupier who has no legitimacy or right at all, and never have".....
"In these days when we are recalling a memory that should be summoned up in every situation, where ther is injustice, tyranny, autocracy on one hand, and revolution, Jihad, and martyrdom on the other, a stand that was symbolized by Al Hussein (p). This is why we say that Ashouraa this year is the day for Al Hussein and for Palestine, Intifada, and the resistance in Palestine. It is the day for Jihad, martyrdom, and pure blood. The day for mothers who have a firm belief that encourges them to push their children toward martyrdom in order to meet Allah and defend the dignity and pride of this nation".....
"This year we renew our answers to Al Hussein's call and sy that we will be next to the suppressed people in Palestine who show today, the values of Al Hussein in Karbalaa. These are the values of Jihad, martyrdom, refusal of humiliation, and readiness for sacrifice, while looking forward to the life hereafter, and work for the satifaction of our Allah. Therefore with our fist upa nd our voices raised, we bid our cities farewell as every year until the next year. We remember the loneliness of Al Hussein with sympathy after all of his family and followers had died while his enemies were surrounding him with their dead hearts. Then we should ask ourselves, whom was he calling for when he was alone? He was calling for all the generations throughout history, and his call was: is there anyone who can help me? Is there anyone who would defend the honor of the family of the prophet (P)? As if he asked, is there anyone who would defend the honor of the Moslems and sacred places of Palestine? Then suddenly the response came from the blood of our martyrs, the chains of our prisoners, the pains and heartaches of our wounded, the tears of the mothers, wives and orphans of the martyrs, the patience of our prisonoers families, the veins of ouu combatants, form our throats and your throats, let's shout high: Hussein here we are at your service. We must also confirm from such responsible possition that our symbols will survive. We are still the same since before or after September 11, berfore or after the doors were shut, before, or after we were placed on the list of terrorists. We do not except to submit to this huge autocratic and arrogant evil that wants to subdue the whole world. Our chant taught to us by our leader Khomeini will always rise high: DEATH TO AMERICA!!
"In regards to this Israeli entity, this absolute wrong, corruption, tyranny, terror, and cancer, it will always meet refusal regardless of the reconciliation, recoginitions, and surrendering. Our children and grandchidren shall have this legacy of faith and belief, which we carry, and hopefully I believe that we will be with the generation, which will achieve victory in Palistine and pray in the holy place of Al Quds. We have no doubt in this faith, we have an unhesitating commitment in our resistance, its guns, bullets, and the blood of its combatants: DEATH TO ISRAEL!!
Next we should issue a 'Holy War Proclamation demanding all Christian kill all Arabs where ever they exist.
Then we need to set up Christian Friend help groups in Arab countries to solicit for money and help gather information to further the DEATH TO ARABS program.
Next we should start to randomly blow up Arab civilians in Arab cities.
Opps, sorry thats the Arab's plan.............
Gotta disagree with you here. The more restraint we show toward Arafat in the near term, who happens to be the darling of the Saudi's and Iran, the more points we build up because Arafat hasn't done anything to the US. So we've publically slapped Sharon on the wrist, while we build up our arsenal to go after Saddam. Down the road, we'll give Sharon the wink-wink to take out Arafat (probably after getting all the intel after toppling Saddam).
We need to take out Saddam and then we'll tell the Saudis, the Iranians, the Syrians "get rid of terrorism or you're next".
Gotta AGREE with you here, 100%. Saddam and Iraq are recognized in the Arab world as having the mightiest armed forces in the region (not counting Isreal). When we show the world how easily Saddam can be exterminated, the rest of the rag heads will cooperate - or else. We will then demand that another Arab country take Arafat into exile, or he'll be exterminated.
All this pussyfooting with Arafat is muddying the waters and feeding Arab delusions. We should've supported Israel cleaning out Arafat, right after 9/11.
Sorry, I have to disagree with you here. We needed Arab support for the Afghan war, which we would not have gotten had we taken out the Saudi/Iraqi pawn (Arafat) that they've been using to focus their in-country hatred toward Jews, and not the ruling elite. Its the leaders of the Arab countries that have put their people into poverty, not Isreal or the US.
I actually think we're now using Arafat as a pawn. We needed to buy time to replenish our depleted spare parts and munitions (thanks to X42) before going after Saddam. We also want to get to the point where the Afghan situation can be handed over to the UN, or other international forces so we have minimal resources committed to that conflict. But you can bet the ranch and the dog on one thing. Operation Bagdad will begin before the elections in November.
Yup. They think they're winning and that is generating even more deadly delusions.
Major companies that import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00 -8/31/01).
Shell 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco 144,332,000
Exxon/Mobil 130,082,000
Marathon 117,740,000
Amoco 62,231,000
If you do the math at $30/barrell, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Citgo 0 barrels
Sunoco 0
Conoco 0
Sinclair 0
BP/Phillips 0
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They reporton a monthly basis. Keep this list in your car; share it with friends.
Stop paying for terrorism.
This Hizboullah leader has been around for a long time. Israel could have killed him? But, we will have dozen other morons taking his place. The only way to cool this mess is negotiation. Sharon made a big mistake. If you push a dog to the corner and keep poking him, do not be surprise if he bites you.
We were on a good path to change the militants and to cause Islamic scholars to rexamin their faith; Israel and its foaming at the mouth supporters are ruining our President effort in forming alliances.
So thats what makes a raghead dignified and proud? I saw all kind of Ay-Rab pride and dignity in the sausage cooler of the grocery store just last night.
"The more restraint we show toward Arafat in the near term, who happens to be the darling of the Saudi's and Iran, the more points we build up because Arafat hasn't done anything to the US."
Trying to build up points with the Saudi's and Iran is absolutely ridiculous. I guess the Saudi Royal Family sponsored tele-thon to pay the families of homicide bombers (among others) really shows how these points pay off. And just looking at the cases that we have irrefutable proof of, Arafat personally had Leon Klinghoffer murdered and two American diplomats assassinated.
No it's called common sense, and it's not that this is not understood in D.C. But the "free-trade" mindset calls for open borders, it is much more economic to lose a few citizens than mess with commerce and money.
A "land for peace" deal is impossible when Paliban rejectionists who believe this will continue to send out human bombs until the Jews are driven into the sea.
I share your opinion about the bombers.
