Assalaamu Alaikum
Whilst our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers,
daughters and sons are being slaughtered today in
Lebanon and Gaza the world through its silence and
paralyses is support Israels barbarism. The corrupt
Arab regimes, starting with Saudi Arabia - prostitutes
of israel - have even blamed Hizbullah for not
submitting to Israel and daring to resist occupation!
In these challenging times our resposibility is clear
- we have to act, show our solidarity with the people
of Lebanon and Gaza.
A few days ago in a live question-answer session(i) a
member of Hizbullah's Political Council, Sister Rima
Fakhry, was asked by a brother from Saudi Arabia: "Our
hearts are with you. I have only one question in mind:
How can we possibly help?". She replied: "What we need
is the mobilization of Arab people. They should prove
to the world that they are unwilling to accept
humiliation... We need the Arab people to act in order
for us to feel that we are not all alone. They should
urge their governments to act against our enemy. We
need more demonstrations. We need to feel that Arab
people are angry and they should express their anger."
This Saturday Muslims and non-Muslims are coming
together to take up this call and demonstrate against
this israeli barbarism. The details are given below.
(i)The Question-Answer session is available at:

We have also included below the message of the General Secretary of
Hizballah, His Excellency Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah which was broadcast last
Saturday on Al-Manar TV. Read it, feel the power and passion in the
words and understand why Israel was defeated in Lebanon, and will be again
be defeated, inshallah.
Wassalaam

and the Arab rulers
------------------------------------------------------
Translated by Muhammad Abu Nasr
July 15, 2006
Peace be upon you and the mercy of God and His
blessings!
To begin with, in this first address that I make to you
since Operation True Promise [on which Hizballah
captured two Zionist soldiers] and the events that
followed it, I would like, to begin with, to offer my appreciation and
condolences to the families of the martyrs, those who gave the dearest
of their loved ones on during these hard and difficult days, and all
they have given in the noblest confrontation and battle that the modern
age has known or rather that all history has known. I want to salute the
wounded and beseech God, be He glorified and exalted, to sustain them,
heal them and bring them health. I also wish to salute our steadfast
people in all the cities, towns and villages who are standing firm and
immoveable, rooted in their land as they are rooted in their faith. I
also salute my brothers the Mujahideen, the steadfast resistance fighters,
enduring hardship at their posts and in all our ranks, ever ready for
sacrifice in the path of what they believe. They always have and always
will regard their own safety lightly and hold their heads high with
pride.
In this first address that I give in these days
following Operation True Promise, I would like to say a
few words - a word to the Lebanese people, a word to
the resistance fighters, a word to the Zionists, and a
word to the Arab rulers. I will not offer words to the international
community because I have never for one day believed that there is any
such thing as an international community, just as many in our nation feel.
First, I say to the Lebanese people: dear people - who
embraced the resistance, by whom the resistance was
victorious, and for whom the resistance won its victory
on 25 May 2000 - this people who were the makers of the
first victory in the history of the Arab struggle with
the Israeli enemy, despite the basic inequality in
forces, and in spite of the fact that the majority of
our Arab brothers and the majority of our Muslim
brothers abandoned us and despite the silence of the
whole world, this Lebanese people made the miracle of
the victory that stunned the world and humiliated the
Zionists. Those Zionists look upon this people in a
special, unique way because they accomplished in the
history of the struggle with them a special and unique accomplishment.
The battle today is no longer a battle over prisoners or the exchange
of prisoners. It might be said that the Zionist enemy is responding any
time there is any operation where men are captured anywhere in any part
of the world, by any army or any state that has borders and
regulations. What is taking place today is not a response to a capture of their
soldiers; it is a squaring of accounts with the people, resistance,
state, army, political forces, regions, villages, and families that
inflicted that historic defeat on that aggressive usurper entity that has never
accepted its defeat.
Today, therefore, this is a total war that Zionism is
waging to clear its whole account with Lebanon, the
Lebanese people, the Lebanese state, the Lebanese army,
and the Lebanese resistance, in revenge and reprisal
for the victory they won on 25 May 2000.
Dear steadfast, mujahid, and noble people, I know that
the overwhelming majority of this people, in their
minds, hearts, wills, culture, thoughts, love, passion,
and sacrifice are a people of nobility, dignity, honor, distinction,
and pride, not a people of servility, subservience, submissiveness, and
surrender. I say to you that in this battle we are faced with two
choices - not "we" as in Hizballah, or as in the resistance, the Hizballah
resistance - but Lebanon as a state, a people, an army, a resistance, and
a political power - we are faced with two choices: either to submit
today to the conditions that the Zionist enemy wants to dictate to us all,
using the pressure, support, and backing it has from America, from
around the world, and, I'm sorry to say, from Arabs. Either we submit
completely to its conditions, which means taking Lebanon into an Israeli age
under Israeli domination - in total frankness this is the extent of the
matter - or we stand steadfast. That is the other choice: that we
persevere, that we persevere and confront. I, relying on God the Exalted,
and on my faith in Him and the mujahideen and in you, knowing thi
s people and this enemy, just as I always used to promise you victory,
now I promise you victory once again. During the Grapes of Wrath in
1996, or the clearing of accounts in 1993, in the beginning they had the
upper hand and our situation was much worse. But today, the situation is
different. Believe me, and I mean this, the situation now is different.
All that we need is to persevere, stand steadfast, and confront them
united, and I know and I will bet that the majority of our people are a
people of steadfastness, a mujahid people who can sacrifice, who have no
need for pep talks. What I'm saying now is only by way of completing
the idea, and affirming the choice, and clarifying what this means.
Now, as for my words for the resistance fighters, for
my dear and beloved brothers: upon them rest the hopes
of every Lebanese, every Palestinian, every Arab, every
Muslim, every free and decent person in this world,
every oppressed, tortured victim of injustice, every
lover of steadfastness, courage, dignity, values, and
nobility - the characteristics they embody by their
presence on the field of battle and in their fight with
this enemy, the fight of valiant heroes. I say to them:
today, after God the Highest, you are the hope of our
Nation. You are the symbol of our nobility. Our honor
is in your hands. This honor is yours and by means of
you, our honor is preserved. After God the Exalted, it
was you who were responsible for the victory of 2000.
Today it is you, before all others, who are responsible
for preserving the victory, for achieving liberation,
standing steadfast, and with honor. This places demands
on you that you, in practice, have proved until now and
during these days that you are entirely worthy of, as
you are worthy of our esteem. Those who put their trust
in you, after God, their charge is great, the reward
will be grand, and the mighty victory - a clear triumph
- is near.
To the Zionists, to the people of the Zionist entity at
this hour I say to them: you will soon discover how
foolish and stupid are your new rulers, your new
leaders. They do not know how to assess reality. They
have no experience in this area. You Zionists say in
opinion polls that you believe me more than you believe
your officials. So now I call on you to listen well and
believe me. Today we have persevered despite the attack
that took place last night in the southern suburbs.
However the attacks multiply in every village,
neighborhood, street, and home in Lebanon, there is no difference
between the south Beirut suburbs, the City of Beirut, or any home in south
Lebanon, in the Beqaa, or the north, or Mount Lebanon, or any corner of
Lebanon.
The equation has now changed. I will not say today that
if you strike Beirut, we will strike Haifa. I will not
tell you that if you hit the south Beirut suburbs, we
will hit Haifa. You wanted to get rid of that equation,
so now we and you have got rid of it in actuality. You
wanted open warfare, and we are going into open
warfare. We are ready for it, a war on every level. To
Haifa, and, believe me, to beyond Haifa, and to beyond
beyond Haifa. Not only we will be paying a price. Not
only our houses will be destroyed. Not only our
children will be killed. Not only our people will be
displaced. Those days are past. That was how it was
before 1982, and before the year 2000. Those times have
come to an end. I promise you those times have passed. Therefore you
must also bear the responsibility for what your government has done, for
what that government has undertaken. From now on, you wanted open
warfare, so it will be open warfare. You wanted it. Your government wanted
to change the rules of the game, so let the rules then be changed. You
don't know today whom you're fighting. You are fighting the children of
Muhammad, of Ali, of al-Hasan, of al-Husayn, of the Prophet's family,
the Prophet's Companions. You are fighting a people who have faith such
as no one else on the face of the earth possesses. And you have chosen
open warfare with a people who take pride in their history, their
civilization, and their culture, and who also possess material power,
ability, expertise, knowledge, calm, imagination, determination,
steadfastness, and courage. In the coming days it will be between us and you, God
willing.
As to the Arab rulers, I don't want to ask you about
your history. I just want to say a few words. We are adventurers. We in
Hizballah are adventurers, yes. But we have been adventurers since
1982. And we have brought to our country only victory, freedom, liberation,
dignity, honor, and pride. This is our history. This is our experience.
This is our adventure. In the year 1982 you said and the world said
that we were crazy. But we proved that we were the rational ones, so who
then was crazy? This is something else and I don't want to get into an
argument with anyone. So I tell them simply: go bet on your reason and
we will bet on our adventure, with God as our Supporter and Benefactor.
We have never for one day counted on you. We have trusted in God, our
people, our hearts, our hands, and our children. Today we do the same,
and God willing, victory will follow. The surprises that I promised you
will begin starting now. Now, out at sea off the coast of Beirut an
Israeli military vessel that attacked our infrastructure, that stru
ck the homes of our people, our civilians; you can see it burning. It
will sink and with it dozens of Zionist Israeli troops. This is the
beginning. There will be a lot more said before the end.
Peace be upon you and the mercy of God!
Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah
General Secretary of Hizballah
