All praise to Allah Lord of the worlds; peace and blessings be upon our master and prophet, the seal of the prophets, Muhammad ibn Abdillah,
And upon his pure progeny and his noble companions, and upon all the prophets and messengers. Peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you all
I would like to start with salutations to the souls of the martyred leaders; to our masters and our leaders
And the holders of the early banners, the owners of the accomplishments and victories.
To the master of the martyrs of the Islamic Resistance, Sayyed Abbas Al Mussawi
To the Sheikh of its martyrs, Sheikh Ragheb Harb, to the martyred leader, Hajj Emad Moughniyeh, as well as to all the martyrs
Martyrs of the army and security forces, martyrs of the people, martyrs of the resistance and all its factions, Lebanese martyrs, Palestinian and Syrian martyrs
The Arabs whose blood satiated the land of Lebanon; giving us all these victories. I salute the families of the martyrs, the martyred leaders, to all the martyrs
And to the martyrs and their families who progress and continue to progress in every field, site, and front, and at every duty of struggle
Defending their country and people, their security, their honour, sovereignty and sanctities of their homeland, and issues of their nation.
I salute the martyrs of the recent bombings which hit more than one Lebanese area; to the martyred children, women, elderly, and men, the old and the young
And to their honourable families I console them and condole them for patience and endurance;
To the wounded I turn to prayer for their speedy recovery, and to all the patient and those who see God as sufficient, the resistant, the steadfast
In defense of their honour, their pride, their future, the people of insight and correct visions, wide consciousness
High readiness for sacrifice, wherever they may be, throughout history and as they were throughout the decades
Brothers and Sisters, I need extra time to talk because we have numerous topics on this occasion, especially that I haven’t spoken in a while. My speech will be made up of 3 main topics
The Israeli topic having a connection with the resistance and the martyred leaders and current confrontations; I don’t want to speak history as much as I speak of the present.
The second part is related to the current confrontation in Lebanon, Syria and the area, the present danger and what connects to it from security and political challenges
The third part we will speak a bit about the new government and if God wills there is time left there will be one final word.
On the remembrance of the martyred leaders, I will start with an axiom which has unfortunately been forgotten with many people, which is Israel.
When we speak about Sheikh Ragheb, Sayyed Abbas, Hajj Emad and the martyrs of the Resistance, we must speak about the scheme which they fought and confronted.
About the enemy and next on Israel, its dangers, its greed, and its threats, its dangers on all the countries of the region and all the Arab and Islamic nations of the region;
We will also speak about its maximum utilization of existing and new opportunities in the situation of the region, with complete help and support of the US administration.
Of course I want to simplify my speech on the dangers on Palestine and on Lebanon
Time doesn't allow me to speak of the dangers of the Zionist scheme on the whole region, we've spoken about it a lot; with what relates to Palestine and Lebanon we need to remind.
Do I have to recall the danger of Israel on Palestine as a land, as an existence, a history, an entity, a future on the Islamic and Christian sanctities
On the people of Palestine, on the Palestinian people in refuge in Diaspora; these are axioms which the people have been speaking about for tens of years, however today are absent
Today every people are busy with their own country, some of these countries have bloody confrontations and intense military battles.
Unfortunately we have reached a stage where no one wants to speak of Palestine and no one wants to speak of the Israeli enemy.
I expect some people to say “Sayyed you are in one world and the world is in another” this is an expression of the situation which we have reached.
This is exactly what America and Israeli wanted to reach in the nations of the region and their governments and countries
After all the victories and accomplishments which the axis of resistance has achieved; from Palestine, to Lebanon, to Syria, to Iran
It is required that we return, that we forget, it is required that Palestine leaves the conflict with the Israeli enemy is not from the priorities,
Meaning US and Israel do not want Palestine and the conflict with the enemy to not be in the priorities, leave it at the bottom
It’s not just removing it from the priorities but removing it from the area of attention, the origin of attention, to exit the mind, the heart, the emotion;
To reach a stage where Palestine (today I want to speak about a lot of the matters), that when you say Palestine people will say “get away you and that Palestine of yours.”
This is what they want reach in the Arab and Islamic world; Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and all the countries.
It is required to reach even at the level of the heart and emotions, that’s it Palestine is in another world, so even in emotions and feelings;
This is in parentheses entails a Palestinian responsibility, maybe if I have time I will speak of it.
It must be recognized that they have highly succeeded in this
However it’s never too late to rebound as long as there is the availability of time, opportunity of action and taking options, to redress this situation.
What explains to us the particular American interest and specific pressure the American foreign minister John Kerry
That now within a few months he wants to make a final settlement on the issue of Palestine?
Why now? Is this a casted question or not?
The Israeli officials attack John Kerry, these are absurdities that we are used to, to portray that he is modest and honest and that he is being attacked from all sides; no
Now the US administration is working with the Zionist administration to close out the Palestinian issue; this is its time. Why is its time now?
Simply, there is utterly no Arab world, before there was a bit of the Arab world
Someone would come out and talk of the peace initiative, the Arab peace initiative, we have conditions, we have standards, we have constraints;
Now there is no Arab world, there is no Islamic world, because every country is busy with its own, no one has time for Palestine at all
No one has time to put pressure on America for the interest of the Palestinians or put pressure on the Israelis
On the contrary the current Arab reality puts pressure on the Palestinians because everyone wants to solve their problem in their country with the account of the Palestinian issue
They want to offer surrenders in the Palestinian issue to the Americans for the benefit of preserving the regime or to reach ruling in this country or that
Unfortunately even the people are in their own world, unfortunately the Palestinians themselves are in a difficult situation their divisions, their conditions
The government of Ramallah, the government of Gaza; he Palestinians are faced with various international, Arab and field pressures
From killing, imprisonment and blockade, this is the reality, these are the challenges
Israel sees it as an opportunity, I am not reading a consolation today, I am saying this is the truth.
Israel is speaking with the Americans that this is an opportunity to close out the Palestinian issue;
They want to use this opportunity and force conditions on the Palestinians to reach the settlement which suits the American and Israeli interests.
I am not reading a consolation because there is the capability rebounding and I will return to this at the end of the speech.
We should recall in the framework of the Lebanese national that Israel is an enemy, for those who forgot in Lebanon and that Israel is a danger on Lebanon on everything in Lebanon
On its land, on its people, its water, its oil (now we speak of oil), its security, its sovereignty, and this consciousness this understanding we must all pay attention to it.
Yes in the past and still. The problem in Lebanon was the diagnosis of this danger, diagnosis of this enemy, understanding this scheme;
In the past decades, Imam Musa Sadr (may God return him in good) and religious and political leaders from all religions since the 1950’s
Until now, they had a trebled voice in warning, caution and preaching to the readiness and preparation, resistance, reluctance and confrontation the Israeli dangers and threats.
This is the mission after the Israeli invasion in the year 1982, was for Sheikh Ragheb Harb, for Sayyed Abbas
For all brothers in different movements also trebled voices and preaching to save the people and holding responsibility, preaching to resistance, and telling all the people.
Lebanon had a civil war, there was sedition, there was inner conflict. This is the enemy which the minds and hearts and guns should turn to.
In addition, it is very unfortunate, and I am not talking just about history, we are living it now but under a different title.
It’s unfortunate, that in this time, a lot of the people believe that Israel’s problem in the 1982 invasion, was not with Lebanon, or with the Lebanese, Israel did not have a problem with us
Israel in 1982 and many people believed this that Israel’s problem in 1982, was with the Palestinians
It was with the PLO, and with the Palestinian resistance and its only reason to invade Lebanon was to remove the Palestinians from Lebanon.
Other than that, Israel had no interest in Lebanon, didn’t want to invade Lebanon, didn’t want to build settlements on our soil, had no interest in our water resources,
Thank God back then we didn’t know about our oil reserves, and they didn’t want to get involved in our internal politics and government. Not at all..
Many people looked at them as if they were just opinionated observers. Is this the truth? Okay? So to us, as Lebanese, Israel did not appear as a threat, or a danger.
These words have to be said, because the current generation of youth in Lebanon and the Arab world, did not through that period. So what happened after that?
The PLO and Palestinian Resistance left Lebanon, but still the worst massacres were committed in the Palestinian camps, mainly the camp of Sabra and Shatila.
However, Israel remained in Lebanon. The Israeli Army remained in Lebanon, they remained occupying our land.
They remained and tried to influence the Lebanese Government and the Lebanese politics and put agreements in place.
They remained killing, arresting, and built prisons, which contained thousands of the men, both Lebanese and Palestinians from the camps.
In addition, they were planning, if they had the opportunity, to construct Israeli settlements in the South of Lebanon, and they said this previously.
So, if it were not for the formation of the Resistance, in all its aspects and different organisations.
In addition, if it were not for the constant confrontation of the resistance and the resisting Lebanese people with the occupying forces, we all know Israel would have not left Beirut
Or the mountain, Sidon and Tyre, Nabatiyeh and Bint Jbeil, and moved back all the way to the border.
At that time, the resistance was not a formidable force, neither strategically or in size against the enemies forces... Not at all, but then why did they want to remain at the border?
Because, they wanted to remain as occupiers and a constant threat, and would have remained, if it were not for the pertinacity of the resistance after 1985.
If it were not for the Resistance, Israel would have remained in Lebanon, and the deluded would not have realized that is in an enemy and that it had dreams and aspirations,
it did not want anything more than to occupy the land and control the people.
And it did not want to do anything that would benefit the country or its people, regardless ,of its sects, or in any of its villages or towns
And its important for the Lebanese to remember their trials, Christians, Maronite, Druze, Shia, Sunni.. all of them! All of them have been trialed and tested by the Israelis.
In the Mountain, Beirut, East Saida, Saida, on the border and at the end of it the army of Antoine Lahad. All these trials should remain present.
As we speak, the Israeli is the enemy, he is the danger, he is the schema, he Is the threat and we should keep a watchful eye on him.
Israel in recent weeks, even tried to take advantage of the internal problems of Lebanon, by starting a psychological war against the resistance and its environment.
And in recent weeks we heard threats and warnings, that they will attack and destroy, flatten and eradicate
Obviously there are a lot in Lebanon who do not listen to these threats because they don’t have the time, or it doesn’t concern their interests. However, Israel takes this as an opportunity.
The large split, the battles in Syria, the situation in the region, so now the opportunity Is to attack the resistance in Lebanon
Put pressure on it psychologically, and take advantage of the situation to benefit the enemy from here and there.
I’m trying to hurry up, but this just goes to show the enemy has its eyes on our land, our water, our oil.
And it remains to look, like we saw in recent conferences like in their parliament
Where the prime minister, head of the party and previous heads of Mossad all spoke and said that they all see Hezbollah is the biggest threat in the region.
Not taking anything away from Syria or Iran, but directly they see the resistance as the biggest threat to their interests, ambitions and projects.
I would like to confirm today, on the anniversary of our Martyred Leaders, I would like to tell our enemies and friends, that the enemy knows that it does not care us
It won't be able to come close to us, question our greatness, and after all the lengthy trials and tests between us and them, all the victories the resistance has had against this enemy
They know very well, that the resistance remains on high alert even till this very moment, regardless of what is happening in Lebanon and the Syria.
And the enemy knows, everything they know about the resistance, is ready and is further advancing in tactics and technology.
Even though the resistance may lose martyrs in Syria, we are honoured by them
But it also gives us more experience and increase its ability to confront and prepare itself for more important battles
And reinforce them into our experience them in our previous confrontations with the enemy
With Lebanon, is it the enemy, their government, their army, the supporters of the enemy, they are the ones who should be worried.
And as they used to calculate a million times and question the ability of the resistance, its men, its environment and its people
Then it should continue to do so, and not miscalculate, by over analysing the situation in Lebanon and the region
Today, I would like to invite and ask the Lebanese to be cautious of the threats and dangers that Israel faces us with, and remember their National responsibilities
Previously, in my speech on the Holy victory on the 22nd September 2006, in one of my lines in that speech
I said that we hope one day, that we will have a strong and powerful government, capable of defending Lebanon, and protect Lebanon against the Israeli enemy.
So that we can relax, go back to our homes, schools, universities and our land.
Today, on the anniversary of our Martyred Leaders, we will repeat what we said in 2006 and look forward to the day that the Lebanese Army
This national organistaion be the only power that will able to protect Lebanon, and the only power that will take responsibility in defending Lebanon
So that we can go back to our homes, monasteries, schools, universities and land
This is the biggest challenge, we are with anyone who wishes to strengthen this Army
Tactically, in size and technologically and provide them with the capabilities and advanced weapons to give them the ability, to defend Lebanon against the Israeli challenges.
Furthermore, the coming days will tell and prove, if there is anyone in the world, who will provide such advanced weapons to the Lebanese Army.
If this happens, we will be very grateful to anyone who provided them with a component of this power.
Our concerns and worries, on this anniversary of our martyred leaders, and for over 30 years, has always been to defend Lebanon
its people and its society. Its honour, and its infracture and natural resources and not leave it to suffer.
Previously it was allowed to suffer. Today, it continues to suffer.
We want a real nationalistic effort, so that we have a government that truly thinks about every inch of Lebanese soil
Every Lebanese person, every Lebanese town, and the future of all of Lebanon and to have a strong army capable of confronting the greater problem.
And now I will go to the second main item
But in collecting between both there is also something else I would like to say with regards to the first topic which helps us to understand the current confrontation
Just to remind you and I hope or I wish that our current generation ask about this
From the 80’s even till 2006 some people in Lebanon held the Resistance responsible for everything which the enemy did for all the attacks carried out by the enemy.
When the Israelis attacked the villages before it withdrew, when we saw military operations against the Israeli occupying forces, the Israelis would then arrest people
They would surround villages, destroy villages, destroy houses, kill people, and then when the Israelis withdrew to the borderline
They bombed without distinguishing between civilians or others every time, we saw some Lebanese say that that’s the responsibility of the Resistance;
Why are you the Resistance carrying out attacks against the Israelis
Why are you carrying out martyrdom operations in Beirut against the Israelis or in Mount Lebanon, or in Sidon, or in Tyre, or in other places.
Leave the Israelis alone and they won’t do anything
And even some people until 2000, never did they use the term martyr when they referred to the martyrs of the Resistance.
They never spoke about a Resistance and an enemy, they spoke about a circle of violence, a circle of violent fighting
And they didn’t label it as nationalistic or resistance or a honourable cause
Now back then if we had listened to what these people said we even heard some political rhetoric; they started to speak about the policy of taking away excuses or justifications
How can we protect Lebanon by stripping them of justifications, we take away the justifications and excuses and Lebanon would be under occupation.
If we had listened to this, Israel would have still been today in Beirut and in Mount Lebanon, they might have continued to the North, Tripoli, Baalback; they would have built settlements
They would have appointed the governments, it would have managed the country and imposed its own political decisions.
They would have stolen our water, which we Lebanese aren’t able to benefit from it, they would have taken this water to occupied Palestine
If any oil would have come out, we wouldn’t have fought against one another for the oil because everything would be owned by Israel if we had listened to those people back then
Those people who used to consider the Israeli enemy as carrying out the attacks the aggressions against Lebanon, against the Lebanese villages and homes
Against the men and women is only a reaction, a rational reaction by the Israelis because you the Resistance are carrying out operations against them
Haven't we hear this before in Lebanon, we heard language, the media speaks about it, we heard this amongst politicians, we heard this n the cultural level and intellectual level.
However this Resistance and the people of the Resistance in addition to many of the Lebanese and a high percentage of the Lebanese were not impacted by this rhetoric
And they continued on the same path and via sacrifices via the martyrs, via the imprisonments, the detainees to prison, the displacement once, twice, 3, 4, 5 times,
They put up with all this until they brought about this liberation which we celebrate every year and which all Lebanese enjoy; those who paid the price and those who didn’t pay the price.
Today, now let this stay in our minds when we refer to the second danger because this also exists today.
Now when we speak about the second threat, the second danger which we spoke of often over the recent stages which threatens the whole region
Just like Israel threatens all the governments and people of the region
Today, this second threat also threatens all the peoples and the countries in the region and I’m referring to the danger of Takfiri terrorism
Takfiris by themselves don’t pose a big threat;
If somebody tells me for example that I’m a Kaffir (Infidel) okay, that’s his business, I don’t need his blessing to tell me if I’m a Kaffir (infidel) or not, that’s his business.
Now if it only remains within the ideological, legal sphere, okay, in the world we don’t want anyone to give us their blessing, us or others that is.
I the end in the aftermath, after this world, the key to heaven isn’t in his hands, the keys of heaven, it is known where these keys are.
The problem is not only when it comes to Takfirism
The problem is that when they say someone is a Takfiri, they don’t accept this other person who disagrees with them ideologically or religiously or even politically
They go directly to spill the blood of this person; no other solution, spilling their blood, also attacking their families, their money, illuminating them, cancelling them out
This is something which is now well known, it doesn’t need me to provide evidence to something well known, it’s well known now throughout the region.
Now of course this Takfiri terrorism today exists in all regions and it is represented by armed groups which are present in most of the countries of the region
Even in all countries of the region and these groups pursue a Takfiri path of elimination whereby it spills the blood of anyone against it
It’s not about Sunnis and Shia or Muslims and Christians, the Christians it’s clear and even amongst the Muslims, Shia, Allawis, Druze, Ismailis, Zeidis, all those who are not Sunnis
But all the Sunnis who are against them are also within the category of being labelled as Takfiris and it’s so easy for them to say you are a Takfiri, you are an infidel
Just a few weeks ago the ISIL make a declaration against Al-Nusra, ISIL together with Al-Nusra have the same ideology
The same path, the same organization, the same Amir, the same breath, the same culture, same in all different aspects. In their clothes, in their language, in their minds, in their hearts;
When they disagreed on a political issue, they might disagree when it comes to an oil well in Syria, after this disagreement came they were accused of being infidels of Takfiris
It was so easy, and then after that we have other judgements other declarations, this has become clear in the whole region.
If they disagree with someone who from them, if they disagree with them politicall or when it comes to financial issues they accuse him of being a Takfiri
What has happened recently in Syria, the fighting between the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and Al-Nusra, this is something we must look into
We must look at it and focus on it, not to make fun of them but we must take a close look and draw lessons;
Look at the present and expect for the future, look at what has happened just over the last few weeks.
The Syrian opposition speak about more than 2000 people being killed over these past few weeks. The number of suicide operations numbered tens of operations against one another
The *** trapped cars were sent to villages which were full of citizens, just because this village is with Al-Nusra or the other is under the control of the ISIL
A lot of people are not with the ISIL or with Al Nusra, they might be with the opposition with their political stance
They have no mercy on anyone, they slaughter the children, they destroy the villages, this is they fighting together, not fighting against the government.
Suicide operations against one another, killing of those who have been detained without mercy, mass graves, mass massacres, about what? What is the disagreement?
You have the same ideology, you have the same sect, you have the same path you are walking on, what do you agree on? What did you disagree on?
Did you disagree regarding a political issue about the Amir, or about an oil well? Weren’t these the subjects of disagreement? What happened?
Take a close look, this shows you their mindset, the way of thinking of the leaders and the individuals of these groups and this is not new anyway, and it’s no surprise
We were expecting this. Not because we see things more than others, no
Because anyone who has monitored and followed what took place before can expect such a scenario to take place and the ignorance is strange. Look at Afghanistan.
The Jihadist Afghani factions fought one of the strongest armies in the world one of the two strongest armies, the Soviet army
They defeated this army in Afghanistan then the Soviets withdrew, what happened.
A group of Jihadist factions, because there are some Jihadist factions in Afghanistan who have this Takfiri ideology; this ideology which leaves everyone out, this bloody ideology
They have invented this quote of the prophet I brought with me on slaughtering, but this is not the religion of Allah.
Because there were some people which had this way of thinking, the Jihadist Afghani factions entered into a bloody intense battle amongst one another.
They destroyed suburbs and villages and the number of those killed on both sides, and the Jihadist leaders who were also killed.
The Soviet army didn’t do this, the Soviet army didn’t kill as many as they did. Now where is Afghanistan
Ever since the Soviets withdrew, until today, refer to one day, mention to me one day which passes without blood, without displacement, without difficulty of life, without killing.
Mention to me one day where we had peace, and that’s because of them.
Those groups in Algeria, you can tell me Afghanistan has mountains difficult to deal with the situation
But in Algeria, the armed groups in Algeria, what did they do to the Algerian people
And what did they do to one another as well when they killed the Amir’s of one another, the conflicts which took place between these groups.
I don’t want to mention too many examples, that is enough, in order to have enough time to mention...
If you could change this watch in front of me because it’s off (Sayyed Nasrallah telling one of his associates).
This is what has taken place now and we must draw lessons from this, and now I will enter and mention Lebanon.
In Lebanon we have bombings in more than one area, we have suicide operations which targeted people, children, women, market places, normal people and crimes were committed
Some of those before we said who and how, some said it was the Syrian government, some said it was Syrian intelligence, some said it was Mossad
But I was clear, we didn’t jump quickly to accusations with regards to these bombings and we said wait it will become known.
It won’t become known it won’t be revealed, not because they have secrecy or not, no because they are going to a declared war
They download videos off net and they claim responsibility, they send messages, they also declare goals which they want to target; so it’s no longer an issue up for debate for argument.
Those who are behind these operations are Takfiri, Takfiri fighting groups, not jihadist groups, Takfiri fighting groups;
if anyone who still wants to disagree, the Israelis, of course the Israelis have penetrated this group,
Thee Americans of course use these groups and they used them in Iraq for a long time and elsewhere as well, but there is no doubt that this person, that person, the names are clear
This person is a Lebanese, this other one is Palestinian, this one is a Syrian, this one is a Saudi, a Moroccan, it will become clear, this guy is an Iraqi for example
They are the ones who are leading these terrorist networks and they are the ones who are planning these suicide operations. This tells you the mindset.
Now we had a debate in Lebanon in light of these bombings, suicide attacks, there was a debate amongst the Lebanese as usual there was a vision.
Some people in Lebanon said that these attacks, these bombings, these suicide operations would not have taken place were it not for Hezbollah’s military intervention in Syria
From that day they are still continuing with this same rationale explained with the same justifications for these operations today they are using the same language
This will continue even if we have entered into a national unity government, this language will continue because it is part of the political rivalry and confrontation in the country
Now, let’s reflect on this logic - before we went to Syria
Didn’t we witness a war which was imposed by such groups in the North and in some of the Palestinian refugee camps in some areas
They attacked using car bombs, Christian areas and the army, we have a list, the media can show you the list, this happened before the events in Syria, now let’s put this aside.
In light of such logic, there are two assumptions only. Either our interventions in Syria - these bombings have nothing to do with our intervention in Syria, or they do.
There isn't a third option, it's one of two.
Either our intervention in Syria is the reason or it is not. Or our intervention from the beginning had nothing to do with it and they wanted to open a front in Lebanon.
We have these two assumptions
We want to go to the first assumption that we believe in, that these Takfiri groups, Lebanon is one of their targets and this is something declared in their rhetoric and speeches.
However, they have said Lebanon is an arena not for Jihad but for victory, the priority is for Syria and then we will move onto Lebanon.
Have they said this or not? Yes they have said this, you can listen to it on the Internet on the Televisions and in the media.
One of their priorities was to control the border areas with Lebanon, either the northern areas or the Beeqa
It was only a matter of time, in principle they are coming in one way or another. We believe if they don’t come today, they will come tomorrow, they have announced and declared this.
This is only if we consider it to have nothing to do with our role, in principle Lebanon is a target of Takfiri groups
Lebanon is part of the project of Takfiri groups and if the Americans and Israeli’s have penetrated them, of course they will make Lebanon a target.
They want to rip apart the whole region and Lebanon has uniqueness. In Lebanon, just like in Syria we have a resistance that isi the biggest threat to the Israeli project in the region.
From our point of view they are going to come anyway. What invited them to come into Lebanon was their mindset, plots and the front was open.
Lets assume we have another rationale, lets go with your version (the oppositions).
According to what they say, lets assume that you people are paying the price because Hezbollah sent fighters to fight within Syria.
This is the reason they came, carried out these attack and suicide operations. Lets take this assumption that some speak of.
Witht his assumption.... Now I’m going to be very frank and clear. This requires us to ask another question.
Lets assume what they say is true, does it require such a sacrifice, putting up with all these repercussions.
Does it deserve for us to go fight in Qusayr and in Damascus, because these are the two main areas that we have contributed to.
Qusayr and Damascus are both on bordering areas. If Damascus falls then all the border areas near Lebanon would be under the control of these armed groups
Does it require for us to take such measures that would lead to such reactions, does it this or not? I’ll remind you of what I said before, when I spoke of Israel.
They had said, you attacked Israel, you against Israel, you targeted it’s camps, bases and it’s natural that the Israeli’s would reply with an attack
So it’s the same in this case, it’s normal for the Takfiri’s to retaliate and attack Lebanon.
As I’ve said before, I’ve explained a lot in detail the reason for us being in Syria, the reasons why we continue to fight in Syria and why we will continue to be present in where we need to be.
There is no change to this approach. I think the information that is being revealed increases the conviction of the people that our approach was correct.
Let me start from the end, the new factors today both regionally and internationally.
Today we find that most countries in the world who financed, facilitated, gave visa’s and opened the borders, encouraged, supported and sent the foreign fighters, the non Syrians
Most of these countries are beginning to speak about their fears and concerns regarding these security dangers posed by a victory of these groups in Syria.
Hence they could return to their countries especially the neighbouring countries and what these communities and countries could be subject too. Isn’t this true?
Did I invent this, or isn’t this what you are seeing now? Meetings of Western and non-Western intelligence agencies are now meeting to discuss what they should do.
If these groups achieve victory and have a big enough base, Syria would be worse than Afghanistan and this would fall back on us, what would we do?
Or if they were defeated and began to withdraw and they came back to us, what would we do? This is a catastrophe they created with their own hands, a state which they raised.
Now, don’t we hear this discussion around the world.
Aa number of countries around the world have put together laws, whereby they are warning their citizens against going to Syria to participate in the fighting.
Tunisia is an example, prevents flights and takes measures. The Tunisians spoke of this, why were they obliged to take such a stance.
Though from the beginning the Tunisian government supported what was going on in Syria. Why, because those who came back Tunisia caused a lot of trouble for the Tunisian people.
They made the Tunisian government and people taste some of what the people of the region are tasting.
Terrorist attacks, killings, assassinations and now the Tunisians have awoken and realized if this continues, what will happen to Tunisia
They had the minds and courage to take such measures early on. Now some Lebanese may say that Tunisia is far away and Saudi Arabia is more important, okay.
Over the past few weeks, what measures have Saudi Arabia taken?
Firstly, it began with a media campaign and a cultural campaign against the Shiehks in Saudi Arabia who are encouraging them to go to Syria
Is this a personal media initiative from this person. This is an official policy, and there is a big campaign now against this or that person is now being called enemies.
Those who would tell the Saudi youth to go to Syria, for three years they have been encouraging them to go. Why now are the Saudi’s taking measures?
A legal measure was taken as well.
Anyone that goes and fights outside of Saudi Arabia, and of course the main foreign arena here is Syria, he would be imprisoned between three to twenty years
And if they belong to the military it is between five and thirty years. Why are they doing this now? Is it because Saudi Arabia has changed its stance and it’s strategy towards Syria, no
Saudi Arabia still provides money, weapons, supports politically, in the media and they’ve also raised a complaint in the Security council. It is waging war on all fronts in Syria.
However, it has taken a measure, that is the Saudi youth are forbidden to go and fight in Syria.
One of the measures is that the Saudi embassies in the neighbouring countries
Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon have also called on the Saudi youth to come, we are ready to welcome you and send you back to your country.
Why.. You can ask why.. Because very simply, they have realized.. Before I answer, over the past three years the Saudi media
Those official and non official, the shiehks, the fatwas, the internet and even the Saudi intelligence were financing, recruiting and sending young Saudi’s to Syria so they could fight.
What has changed is that the Saudi government has realized that when these people come back there will be a catastrophe in Saudi Arabia. Exactly like what happened after Afghanistan.
Have you forgotten what took place in Saudi Arabia when the Saudi Mujahideen came back from Afghanistan and Pakistan, what happened in Saudi Arabia?
The killings, bombings, suicide operations, the intense confrontations between Al Qaeda and the Saudi army and intelligence services, have we forgotten all of this?
The Saudi government has realized that continuing with such a policy means more Saudi youth fighting in Syria
They will have such an ideology and they will gain military expertise and then return to Saudi Arabia to ignite a new confrontation in Saudi Arabia.
So for the sake of protecting the regime inside Saudi Arabia they have taken this decision, not for the sake of stopping sedition, war or the conflict in Syria.
It’s because they want to preserve the situation inside Saudi Arabia.
The more people who lesson the tension that’s a good thing,
Here I want to ask the Lebanese why does America, France, Britian, Belgium, Canada and all the countries of the world
Why does Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, why do all of these countries who are far away from Syria
Why do they have the right to be concerned, regarding the presence of their youth amongst these armed groups on Syrian territory
And why don’t we the Lebanese who are the neighbours and on the borders with Syria
With our future, our security, well-being, food, water and life is linked to what is taking place in Syria?
Why don’t we have the right to take such concerns and to take preventive measures, why don’t we have the right to launch a preventive war, name it what you want?
What did the Lebanese government do, we were apart of this government, what did the state do regarding this threat except for disassociating itself and putting its head in the sand.
Many people say no, what do you have to do with it, the state should take the decision. Okay, we waited for years.
We have thirty thousand Lebanese in Qusayr, Christians and Muslims
They were attacked, some of their villages were occupied, some were kidnapped, killed, Lebanese women were ***, isn’t this shameful? Do you need names?
What did the Lebanese government do, the state of Lebanon do, nothing it dissociated itself.
Don’t we have a right to intervene, to push the danger of killing and *** away from the thirty thousand Lebanese who live in Qusayr.
Don't we have the right, doesn’t this deserve to put up with the repercussions according to your logic?
Today these Takfiri’s who we defeated in Qusayr. Those who left after they had waged a media, military campaign and after they had created all of this havoc.
They didn’t leave anything at their disposal in the battle of Qusayr.
In order to push this danger away from the thirty thousand Lebanese in Qusayr – for example these people want to send a ***-trapped car that is part of the confrontation
You, the Lebanese government and state, and other Lebanese. Have you forgotten when people in the Beeqa threatened – and we have recordings on TV.
They said in half an hour we can control the area from Baalbak to Hermil. What were they relying on, they were relying on the armed groups taking control of the bordering area
Forming support for them and then entering Lebanon then occupying Baalbak and Hermil within half an hour. You didn’t listen or witness this, what did you do?
On the contrary you welcomed them, you visited them, sent delegations, you saluted them and still are. Didn’t this happen or didn’t it?
In order to push the danger away from our people in Baalbak and Hermil, doesn’t it deserve for us to put up with some of these repercussions?
Today, in regards to this point I would like to ask, if the armed groups controlled all of Syria, what would Syria look like today?
It would look like what is happening in Ruqqa, Deir Ezzor, Idlib and Northern Aleppo. This situation would have been witnessed in all of Syria, just like Afghanistan.
After the Soviets withdrew – just like Algeria, anyone who disagrees can come forward
Who would have taken control of Syria – the head of the National Syria Coalition or the Opposition Coalition in Istanbul, this would have been the future of Syria and that’s the point.
Even this change of public opinion in Syria, the process that you are witnessing in Syria today, this isn’t the Syrian intelligence pushing the people into the streets, no.
Many people in Syria have their reservations with the government, yes they have a stance.
But they believed there was an alternative who would bring democracy and freedom of speech
If someone says something a slip of the tongue – they tried on the street, killed in front of their parents and accused of being a Takfiri, this was the alternative provided to the Syrians.
That is why they are afraid of the elections, why are you afraid of the elections, go ahead hold elections, a political analyst yesterday said something very important.
When the Americans responded to Putin, when he supported Sisi’s candidacy for presidency in Egypt, they said the people choose the president.
However, the people should also choose the president in Syria. Why are you afraid of elections in Syria, because they know where the public mood and opinion is in Syria.
I would like to ask the Lebanese, if these armed groups control Syria or take control of the border areas with Lebanon, if our borders were open to the places of their military camps
Then the time has come for Lebanon to become an arena for Jihad. Before we have done anything and if they had begun to wage attacks against Lebanon
what would you have done, would you fight along the borders? If two or three or 10 ***-trapped car bomb
Thank God half of them have been discovered before they were used in attacks –
What would have happened, the whole border would have been opened and we would have saw many car bombs and ***-trapped sent to all areas
Where is Lebanon’s future, why do you hide behind the truth, why should we hide things from the people
The Christians before the Muslims, look at what is happening in Syria. I’m not speaking in a religious way,
Whwe are the Churches, your nuns, your Cross’s, the statues of Mary(as) or your sanctities.
What have they done to them previously in Iraq, aren’t these armed groups the ones doing this?
They say it’s ISIL, but they are all the same – the names are different but the mindset on the ground is just about the same
If they had a chance to control these border areas and wanted Lebanon to become of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, what would you do and what have you done until now?
If you like it or not, it’s a question that should be raised. The same goes for the Muslims, what is taking place to the Druze in the area of Sweida
I said before I want to be frank, ask the Druze who are with the opposition, are they capable of protecting the Druze in Sweida?
Not against the Sunnah but against the Takfiri’s who are threatening the Druze, Sunnah, Christians and everybody.
This is the current situation in Sweida. So what is the difference between the Druze of Syria and the Druze of Lebanon.
Do you think your political stance with the opposition will help you?
Don’t you know the way these people think, their rhetoric, mindset and language. It’s clear for the Alawiites and the Shia.
Now even for our Sunni brothers, if these groups are victorius, would their be a future, for the future movement, for the political leaders in Lebanon
Or the Sunnah Islamic council or the non Takfiri Islamic parties in Lebanon, it is the same for us all. And the evidence is Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Somalia.
How much evidence do you need. This danger first and foremost is one that threatens all of Lebanon, whether they are convinced of this or not.
The Israeli danger – some say this is poison others say no this is a cocktail. If you’re convinced it is cocktail that’s fine but it’s really poison and if you drink it you will die
I am pushing poison away from you that you consider to be a cocktail. This was the situation with Israel, also with this Takfiri terrorism it is the same.
Confronting this danger and open ended conflict, that's been open for many years in more than one Arab and Islamic country, tens of thousands of been killed as a result of this war
Algerians, Iraqi’s, Afghans, Somali’s – hundreds of thousands not tens of thousands – Syrians and others. What are we able to do, this is the curse in the region and now it has reached us.
We are called upon to confront and within the framework of confrontation let me also mention me also mention these points. It is our duty on this night
On the commemoration of martyrdom and challenge that was presented by Sayyed Abbas, Hajj Emad and Shiehk Ragheb
it’s our duty to salute the steadfastness of the people, their vigilance, especially the families of martyrs, the wounded and those who suffered psychologically because of the bombings.
We must also salute the firmness and discipline of these people. Also not to have hasty reactions, this is really something great and that is very civil as well.
We take a look at its humane, cultural, religious and national value, it reflects the depth and commitment to them
In this confrontation we must know that it does deserve us putting up with these difficulties and sacrifices.
The martyrs who fell as a result of these bombings, women, children, elderly and young, they're just the same as our youth, who were martyred and who are being martyred in Syria.
These are martyrs in the same battle, just as the martyrs in the villages when Israel bombed – these martyrs amongst ordinary people are just the same as the resistance martyrs.
This blood, martyrdom, sacrifices and steadfastness is what lead to the victory of the resistance.
This martyrdom, blood, wounds, steadfastness and putting up with all the suffering and displacement from homes is apart of the battle.
It deserves our participation. As we have said before, in order for our territory not to be taken away
Our women not to be ***, for our children not to be slaughtered, for our recourses not to be stolen and our people not to be humiliated
it is only normal for some martyrs to fall, from amongst ordinary people and resistance fighters and to suffer economically, to be hungry, displace, and to feel afraid.
Here I am speaking amongst the ordinary people that is apart of ther battle O’ honourable people what do they want from you?
They are telling you – and it’s a lie, they are telling you withdraw from Syria we won’t do anything to you in Lebanon, that is a complete lie.
If they control the borders, there will be so many ***-trapped cars being sent to all areas
That is their mindset, they consider this to be their religious duty, to slaughter people from all different religious sects.
This is something I would like to refer March 14 too and our martyrs the Minister of Justice. What did these groups say?
They’ve said we’d only stop these attacks number one if Hezbollah withdraw from Syria and number two their prisoners being released from Lebanese prisons
Meaning those who fought in Nahr Al Barid confrontation and killed the soldiers of the Lebanese army who belong to different sects because this is a national army
if you don’t release them we will continue with our suicide operations, so the reason isn’t only our participation in the fight in Syria.
The battle does require some sacrifices just like it did with Israel, people must all be convinced that in this confrontation, God willing we will be victorious.
Just as we were victorious before as a resistance, it’s only a matter of time.
However, this battle requires minds, will, determination, planning, capabilities, on the official level and that of resistance and also the people. This is all available.
All this exists at the moment but it does need time, it is a battle of fate but the horizon is a battle of victory and not defeat and from allowing any goals of the Takfiri attacks being achieved.
One of their goals is Takfiri fighting, they did this in Iraq, all their language was about Shia’s, the Shia rejecters
Inciting Sunni’s against Shia’s and Shia’s against Sunni’s in order to create inter-sectarian fighting
Today their language in Syria is sectarian, in Lebanon it is sectarian, they want sedition and they want we the Shia -
When our women and children are targeted by bombings, they want us to react by targeting our Sunni brothers, this is what they want, this hasn't happened
This won't happen, because of your vigilance and your commitment to your prophet and the household of the prophet(as).
This is something that needs our attention, any reaction that serves sectarian sedition, serves the goals of these Takfiri’s and other armed groups.
The way to preserve the blood of the martyrs who fell in the Hermil and the Dahiyeh, preserving the dignity and pure blood is to show perseverance and steadfastness.
Not to be dragged into any sedition with any sect in Lebanon.
One of the goals of these groups is to create a confrontation between the refugee camps and their outskirts. This is an Israeli goal also being served by the Takfiri’s.
Why do they always say for example that this car bomb came from this Palestinian refugee camp.
Why do they alway say, it came from this car came from here or there . It is to create an atmosphere of tension between the outskirts of the camps and the camps themselves.
Also to create confrontation and fighting between the camps. This is something we need to also pay attention too. This responsibility resides on everyones shoulders….
The confrontation concerns everyone because everyone is targeted and everyone should take responsibility, they began by attacking us but everyone is a target
So the confrontation must be a national confrontation and the national confrontation part of it is cultural is making people aware
This the responsibility of the religious clerics and especially the clerics of our Sunni brothers
And of the mosques and of the podiums, everyone should assume their responsibilities. The media also should be vigilant.
And part of it is also political; stop justifying these bombings and also taking a serious approach with regards to building the state
Not using the battle in the internal political confrontations and part of it is security, taking the preventive measures, this is happening
What is most important is to identify the culprits the networks, arrest them and dismantling them, before the car bombs are sent or before they explode,
Big achievements have been made in this regard over the past few days even today as well and the responsibility of the state and its security services
In our language, we can go back to 1982 until today, never did we say we assume responsibility for security
we said were partners in resistance when the state can resist and practice resistance we will step aside whether comes to security it is the respinsibilty of the state
From our perspective we get information and hand it over to the state institutions, if we can help with something we do.
All the Lebanese should cooperate and discover, identity and provide information and support the Lebanese army and security services and all their measures
Nobody should defend or justify, you shouldn't judge people too quickly, they should be arrested, and there should be an investigation and wait for the investigation
If he has nothing to do with it then he leaves to his home, if he does have something to do with it, he is left in custody, remains in custody
The pressure on the Lebanese army and the security intelligence
In this perspective of course, we must salute the Lebanese army, army intelligence, the efforts persude by the intelligence, the achievements, especially the recent achievements
So we salute them once again and we also issued a statement reflecting our political stance and we hope that all security services cooperate to protect the country
This is with regards to the confrontation, we do need this cooperation and this coordination and God willing, by steadfastness and by due diligence
We shall be able to achieve victory with our heads held high in this battle all together as Lebanese
And preserve this country and preserve our Lebanon relations and Palestinian camps and the security and future of the country and so forth.
The last part of my speech is with respect to the government and anyone who is witnessing, this atmosphere these concerns these priorities these dangers these threats
These challenges can directly understand where we are coming from, our behaviour regards to the formation of the new Lebanese Government
However, let me also mention a few points quickly and this is the last part of my speech, firstly any person can evaluate the result of the government as he wishes
Anyone can express his opinion whether it be positive or negative and id like to tell you, we in Hezbollah this doesn't bother us no
We respect all opinions and we respect all feelings and anyone can have his own view point.
Secondly its only normal for people to disagree when it comes to their evaluation why because of the angle you are taking a look from
Sometimes you look at the government from above you see it in some kind of way, lets not look at the government as a whole, a person even if he is a nice person
Sometimes you look at him from above and see something else, then you look at him from the right, the left from in front at his face, then from behind, then you look from below him
Anyway according to the angle it does have an impact on your opinion it does effect your opinion, from the angle from which you look
From which angle are you looking from what perceptive are you taking a look at the issues and so its only natural for there to be disagreements between the allies and the friends
In this group and that group as well, just as we have different view points and different evaluations
Sometimes there might be some angry feelings expressed and the same goes to the other side because its related to the angle as i said from which we are looking from.
In our political speeches, in our political languages this is something new, we always said that in Lebanese we need what is required is partnership we support national partnership
Even if these groups are rivals with one another, never, over the past few years and especially over the past 10 months
Never did we say that we are against the formation of a government that the future movement is part of
Or the Phalange party or the Lebanese forces or anyone from March 14 never did we say this.
Never did we say that we are against these peoples represented in the government or take part in the government, No
Never did we say that we wont sit down on a national dialogue table with the future movement or the phalange movement or the Lebanese forces movement or march 14
We always said, not only did we not say this but we always said that we call for national partnership for a government, national unity for dialog for a table of national dialogue
For cohesion for discussions, yes this doesn't mean that we should impose our opinions on one another, no, meeting doesn't mean imposing our opinions we try we strive
So we don't feel cornered by this govornment because never did we say that we shall not accept that we reject, those who had such a problem are the opposing side
Those who prevented the formation of the govtornment for 10 months it wasn't prevented from being formed from the portfolios no, that was a problem.
what really prevented the formation for 10 months was rejecting formation of a political government in Lebanon they for 10 months called for forming a non aligned govornment
Those who called for Hezbollah to be left out of any political govornment if they want to back down and put together a political govornment
They from the beginning they said we want a govorment which is not from political parties, that's what delayed the formation,
It wasn't prevented from the portfolios or because of the oil portfolio or because of the energy portfolio no, when this was solved, how long did it take?
It didn't take long, from the beginning if there had not been a political problem if the problem was only about portfolios, it would of been addressed in 2 or 3 weeks
Unfortunately that the side that which is obstructing accused us of obstructing and when we discussed they say Iran is decided to prevent the formation of govornment
We have no problem with this and now the are speaking of national achievements, now those who open the door for the national achievements with all due respect to everyone
Is the Amal movement and Hezbollah usually I mention others before our selves, Hezbollah and the Amal movement, we opened the door to such an achievements
It's clear, ok our situation is good we are in a strong position, we are not weak, neither weak in Lebanon nor Syria or in the region no
On the contrary, the Americans are recognizing their failures of their policies and defeats, some Arab countries have withdrawn and some government have changed
if I want to go and make a regional analysis I would come to the conclusion that our internal regional and international position is better then it was over the past 3 years
If you continue this way, the presidential elections will be a problem.
The country is heading a towards a problem, because if we had formed a neutral government the would be a problem
And if a defacto would have been formed there also would have been problems in the country and we don't want problems in the country, we don't want to reach this
How is there anything we can do, can we open a door for a solution then after deliberation between Hezbollah and the Amal movement and its the right of our other allies
For example to speak out against this, but when we speak about 9 it means in the Lebanese divisions, it means 5 Shia and 4 Patriotic movement, thats what we speak of
These 5 we will give 1 of these 5 to the other group and the guarantees which we want maybe we can get them in other ways.
We can inform the people okay, we are in, we opened the door, so we were met and in a certain political regional international moment
After 10 months they called on Hezbollah to be left out and swore that they wont accept to sit down on the same table and wouldn't participate with national unity government
Then they accepted, in the end that's something good, something positive, not a reason for cursing
When I give a concession this is not for people to make fun of us and when others make concessions, no on the contrary we should express our appreciation.
They political problem has been resolved, the original poltical issue has been resolved
Now we've opened doors, the main political problem has been solved. What remains was the portfolios and there were some deliberations, there was some arguments
it's the right of anyone to request a certain portfolios we dont stop this.
We expressed our solidarity with our alias with this perspective until we reached the results so we where the ones that opened the door.
If we had remained insisting on 9 9 6 and no one wanted to make concessions would we have seen a government formed before the presidential elections?
Would there have been presidential elections? So where would we have reached? What state would we have reached in this country? No one knows.
In this issue everyone can say they made concessions, some people can't say they made concessions.
We made concessions some sacrificed, some sacrificed more than others however allow me to say we are the one's who made the most concessions
We don't have any special benefits till the last moment, we didn't discuss the issue of government portfolios.
Some of our supporters might not support this but that's the way we are. In our priorities never did we ask about portfolios until the end
We ask what portfolios did you want to give us because our main concern was for the government to be formed, to have a government in the country
Because the interest of the country is for a government to be in place and so if anyone wants to evaluate by saying what portfolios did Hezbollah get?
That is not the right way to evaluate the situation. Don't evaluate by portfolios or by numbers, whats most important of all is the result.
The big national political process that we want. We said there were some options for the country a continuation of the vacuum that was dangerous
Never did we want vacuum, forget what they say, what they say was lies was misleading and this will continue it might decrease decrease because we are in the same government
We didn't want a continuation of the power vacuum from the security level, on the political level on all levels.
Aa neutral government that would also have been dangerous, a De Facto government would have been dangerous there remained one option a government of settlement
A government that controls the situation, a settlement government, a government of rivals, a government of enemy's a government of national interest maybe that's the best name
Best term a government of national interest....maybe, I don't name it and I really hope to reconsider its naming.
Its not a government brought together because some political factions there was no tie to discuss with them so they would be partners
And they were present in the previous government from national and Islamic factions, from our alias whom we respect and we are proud of our relationship with them
I don't consider this to be a comprehensive government nor do I consider it a national unity government because there are certain factions who are outside the government.
It’s a settlement government, a government of national interest, so we look forward to it. We want this government to be a government of meeting, of reaching agreements
We don't want to go ahead and confront one another. On this occasion, on the commemoration of the martyrs. We are not going ahead with the intention of rivalry or of enmity
We do have rivalry yes, maybe this government could break this psychological rivalry and open the doors between us. We hope we reach a government of understanding
A government which takes a problem away from the streets decreasing the tension in the country, decreasing the tense rhetoric in the country.
This serves the interest of everyone, the more the tension decreases the more people sit down and talk. This is something which we have been calling for a long time
It might be achieved now with this government we hope, with this positive spirit we are going to the government and some people as some media outlets said
Some might say you accused this person of this or this person of that and they said the same thing about us and everyone could be provoked by other people from the other side
But when we speak of partnership in the end the people want to come and put their own members in portfolios regardless if you like it or not
But this is a result of the fact that we want partnership we want to decrease the tension we want to fortify Lebanon in confronting the waves of sedition.
Finally we say that this government as the Prime Minister himself said - he’s no longer Prime Minister designate he's a Prime Minister
The priority is to fulfil the constitutional terms ,the constitutional milestones most important of all the Presidential elections, that we should all agree upon
And on the contrary I think that this formation could also be something which encourages to elect a president so we have a new government that's far away from any pressure
Then everyone can sit down and discuss what he wants not under pressure.
The pressure of the decree's this encourages others not to go to a vacuum when it comes to Presidential elections but to go ahead and elect a president
According to what the Prime Minister himself said confronting all forms of terrorism that is what we hope the government will do
This means that those who took up important portfolios, those like the Minister of Interiors, Defence, Justice and telecommunication
Today now this is your responsibility and we hope that this government will assume its responsibility's especially the Prime Minister under the supervision of the President
We hope that this file of combating terrorism will be dealt with seriously and also dealing with the social and economic issues honestly
These are the priorities, this is what the government puts up with over the next few months.
Now what remains in regards to the government before my last few words is that some of our allies and some people have their own feelings and concerns
I like to listen to these details they said for example that tomorrow they'll free Omar Alatrash
But if Omar Alatrash has confessed to transporting car bombs and suicide bombers whoever may be the justice minister can he free him or for example they say they'll free Naim Abbas.
With regards to the three woman they said two have nothing to do with it one of them only but if they free the three woman of course there's a big problem
This issue isn't about a minister here or a minister there for people to be concerned no, on this point generally with regards to these concerns I'd like to say we are present
Our allies are present we know what we are doing and we take a look from above we take a look from all different angles and nobody should be afraid or concerned
At this stage we must rise with our country and put up with one another, we must put up with it if there's a controversial person here or there, what this person does
This must all be addressed and so what I noticed today... Today I didn't say what others said no, although a lot of insults where made.
We are heading towards a new situation for the sake of the country, for the sake of the security of the country, for the sake of rising with our country
We are known to be people that sacrifice, we are known to be people steadfastness ,this is our thinking and our people have always put up with us and excepted this from us
At some stages people feel pain you can't get everything you want. It's a country where people need to cooperate with one another for the sake of what is more important.
Of course in the final part of the speech I would like to salute and bow down actually express my appreciation to the Bahrain people who are oppressed
Three years have past since the beginning of its movement and its cultural, national, peaceful high level revolution and its continuing, we saw the marches yesterday
Its continuing of this peaceful movement despite the oppression, despite the arrest, despite the imprisonment
Despite everything that these oppressed people have been subject to by a government which has been imposed on the people due to a certain regional situation and by force
Finally in my speech as I said finally after speaking about Palestine Israel I wanted to have some final words to say
We disagree in this but I would like to tell the Lebanese and the Palestinians our Palestinian people who of course have big responsibilities even now in the camps
I tell the factions and the clerics its not enough for you to condemn, issue statements of condemnation
You must speak with the people you must monitor, there are some who insist on using the Palestinian people for the sake of reaching this resort which I spoke about during the speech.
I tell the Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians I tell all the Arab people to all of the Arab factions, to all of the honourable people in this region
All those who really have Palestine in their hearts and all those who care about Lebanon and Syria, if you want to prevent Israel from having these opportunities
iIf you want to prevent this region from into going into sedition which will not end in decades end the war in Syria, end the war in Syria. Make the fighters leave Syria
Allow the Syrians to reconcile with one another as they are doing in more than one area. On that day we will not stay in Syria
But then if we want to control the situation, if we want to prevent more chances from appearing, if you want the threat not to increase
It is all our duty to stop all the war must end on Syria in order to preserve Palestine and Lebanon and Syria the nation. We must not let this oppertunity be lost.
On this occasion the commemoration of the martyrs, I took a lot of time
But also to make up for the time that I did not appear we commemorate these martyrs
We want to share their same idea's, their same honesty and credibility, their blood, their sacrifices, their steadfastness, their pains and their hopes just like all the martyrs
We want to continue to walk on their path. In order for this country and for this people and this nation to always be an honourable and dignified country, God Willing
May God have mercy on our martyrs and your martyrs - Peace, Blessing and Mercy upon you.
