البرغي

البرغي - أنواع وقياسات مختلفة من البراغي
إبراهيم الأمين كما عرفته..وأعرفه! – الحوار نيوز

سياسة  ابراهيم الأمين 

لم أكن يوماً مضلَّلاً، أو تعرضت للغش ولم أكن أعرفك. بل كنتُ أرى فيك صحافياً ناجحاً، وأقبلُك كما أنت. صحافياً نمت علاقاته المهنية والشخصية كغيره في ظل هذا النظام الذي تقول اليوم إنك ضده.

لكنني أعرف، ولا ينتقص ذلك منك شيئاً، أنك لم تكن يوماً رأس حربة، لا ضد الوصاية السورية، ولا في مواجهة الاحتلال الإسرائيلي، كما لم تكن يوماً رأس حربة في مواجهة الظلم والتعسّف والدولة الأمنية اللبنانية والعربية والدولية التي حكمت لبنان باسم التحقيق في جريمة اغتيال رفيق الحريري. ولا في مواجهة الفساد الذي أطل برأسه قبل وأثناء وبعد رحيل رفيق الحريري.

ولم أكن، كغيري، لأطالبك بما لا تريده أو لا قدرة لك عليه. لم يسألك أحد، في «الأخبار»، لا قبل 17 تشرين ولا بعده، عن علاقاتك الوطيدة بكل أركان النظام، من رؤساء جمهورية وحكومات ورئيس مستمر لمجلس النواب وحاكم دائم لمصرف لبنان، ولا عن علاقاتك الوثيقة بكل نادي الوزراء والنواب وقادة الجيش ورؤساء الأجهزة الأمنية وأركان «الاقتصاد الحر»، وبكل زعماء القبائل اللبنانية، والقيادات الحزبية على اختلافها. كما لم يسألك أحد عن نفوذك القوي في قلب الدولة العميقة التي أدارت البلاد ولا تزال، والتي قرّرت أنت، في لحظة ما، الثورة ضدها.

حتى في سياق عملك المهني مع بيار الضاهر، الرجل الذي حار ودار ولم يتوقف عن القيام بكل ما يقنع أو لا يقنع، لحماية المؤسسة، كنت أنا ممن يحترمون حقّك في الحفاظ على مسافة تقيك شرّ الظلم المهني، وتمنحك عدلاً حتى في العقد المالي المجحف مع هذه المؤسسة، وما كان أحد يلومك على كل أنواع التسويات التي أبرمتها باعتبارها حقاً لك.

وعندما كتبتُ دفاعاً عنك في «الأخبار»، قبل تسع سنوات، في وجه من أراد النيل من حريتك، لم أفعل ذلك محاباة أو مراضاة، وأظنّك تعرفني جيداً، وتعرف أنني ما كنت لأقف صامتاً عندما يصيب الظلم أياً كان. أنت شخصياً، تعرف، عن قرب، موقف سعد الحريري مني شخصياً ومن الجريدة. مع ذلك، وحْدنا في «الأخبار» دافعنا عنه يوم اعتقله الدبّ الداشر، بطل العروبة الأغرّ كما تصورونه في قناتكم اليوم. فعلنا ذلك عن قناعة، بينما ران الصمت على كل المنصات، بما فيها حيث كنت تعمل، وحيث تعمل اليوم.

لكن، ثمة ما تغير فيك يا عزيزي، ومنذ ما قبل مغادرتك المؤسسة اللبنانية للإرسال. ما تغير لم يكن (فقط) تعبيراً عن طموح مهني محقّ في تطور تطمح إلى تقديمه، بل هو أنك قررت في لحظة سياسية ومهنية ومالية – وهذا خيارك الحر أيضاً – أن تنتقل إلى ضفة لها وجهها الأكثر وضوحاً في الإعلام، وفي السياسة والاقتصاد والاجتماع أيضاً. قرّرت أن تطلّ، هذه المرة، من بوابة مفتاحها في يد شاب تعرف، وأعرف، ما الذي جرّب فعله في العديد من المحطات، حتى إبان اعتقال صديقك الحريري الذي لم تنتفض يومها من أجل حريته الشخصية أو دفاعاً عن كرامة بلدك. مع ذلك، لن ألومك على عدم الإقدام على فعل لست مقتنعاً به، أو لا قدرة لك عليه.

«صار الوقت»: هدية مصرفية إلى «الديمقراطية» اللبنانية

ما حدث، يا عزيزي، أنك انضممت إلى ماكينة تعرف مسبقاً إلى أين تقود. وصدمتي أنك قبلت بأن ينتهي بك الأمر مجرد «برغي» في ماكينة صدئة لا تملك فكرة أو قولاً أو عملاً أصيلاً، وقبلت الانضواء في برنامج قاده أنطون الصحناوي الذي رتّب كل عملية انتقالك إلى محطة الـ«مر تي في». وأنت تعرف، أيضاً، أن آل المر لا يفعلون سوى بيع الهواء. ويسرقون الأفكار مما هو رائج في الغرب، كما سرقوا الإنترنت والاتصالات أيضاً بحسب التحقيقات والأحكام القضائية. وهم اليوم يعرضون منصتهم لمن يدفع أكثر. ولا مانع لدى ابن المر في أن يختار الشاري الآلية التي تناسبه للتمويل، مباشرة أو عبر رعاية إعلانية أو غيرها. فالمهم، بالنسبة إليه، هو أن يحتل الموقع الأول في عالم «التتفيه» لا «الترفيه»، على ما كان يقول الراحل رمزي نجار. لكن الرجل لم يعد يكتفي بذلك. ولو أنك قرأت تفاصيل مفاوضاته مع السعوديين لبيعهم حصصاً في قناته، لكنت عرفت، وأعتقد أنك تعرف جيداً، مع من تعمل. فالرجل اليوم مصاب بعارض أصاب كثيرين في لبنان. من المخلّص سمير جعجع الذي أرسله الله لتطهيرنا من خطيئتنا الأصلية والمستمرة فينا، مروراً بالمحقق العدلي الذي نزل عليه وحي إلهي بإنقاذ لبنان من الفاسدين والزعران، وصولاً إلى «الثائر» ميشال المر الذي لن يقبل بأقل من كتلة نيابية يقودها من أجل تحرير لبنان من الاحتلال الإيراني، بعدما قاد عملية تحرير لبنان من الاحتلال السوري… ألم يقل هو ذلك؟

لم أكن يوماً مضلّلاً حيالك. تعلم جيداً أنني أعرفك، وأعرف من أي بيت خرجت، لذلك أحزن على ما آلت إليه أمورك، وعلى أنك صرت واحداً ممن يرى فيهم الناس بومة تحرض على الفتنة. كما أحزن كيف تعطينا درساً في أصول العمل الصحافي، من دون أن تكلّف نفسك التدقيق قليلاً قبل استقبال «شاهد» مسكين أنقذه تقرير طبي من ورطة كان برنامجك مدخلاً لها.

مارسيل غانم إعلامي جريء ينتظره اللبنانيون كل خميس | صلاح تقي الدين | صحيفة  العرب

وحْدنا في «الأخبار» دافعنا بقناعة عن سعد الحريري يوم اعتقله الدبّ الداشر، بطل العروبة الأغرّ كما تصورونه في قناتكم اليوم، بينما ران الصمت على كل المنصات


ثم، هل أنت مقتنع حقاً بأن السعودية وسفارتها في بيروت ومخابراتها المتخلفة لا تقرّر كل كبيرة وصغيرة ليس في قناتك فحسب، بل في كل النادي السياسي الذي انضممت إليه من دون مقدّمات؟

ألا تعرف أنت، وتفصيلياً، عن دور السفارة الأميركية في عوكر، ومسؤولين في واشنطن من أصدقاء الصحناوي، في رعاية «إعلام التغيير»، ومنه القناة التي تعمل فيها، وتوفير التمويل، رغم أن بين الأميركيين، في بيروت وفي واشنطن، من لا يستهضم ابن المر نفسه. ومع ذلك، يساهمون في تمويل ودعم «التدريب على الديموقراطية» في الإعلام اللبناني، وفي برنامجك بالتحديد. وهل تعتقد أن الوثائق التي تكشف عمليات التمويل والتجنيد، ولو صُنّفت على أنها فائقة السرية، عصية على أن تصبح متاحة بفعل قوانين وقواعد وأعراف… وفوق ذلك بقدرة وإصرار من يريد أن يعرف أيضاً…

ألم تسأل نفسك يوماً، أو هل حاولت أن تعرف، عن مصير الداتا التي تخص كل من يريد المشاركة في البرنامج حضوراً أو مساهمة في صفوف الجماهير – عفواً الجمهور. لن أسألك عن كيفية الاختيار بينهم، لكنني أسألك إن كنت تعلم بمصير الداتا – وما هو أكثر – التي تحوي الأسماء وأرقام الهواتف وعناوين البريد الإلكتروني الخاصة بهم، والتفاصيل الخاصة بميولهم السياسية وطوائفهم ومذاهبهم وتعليمهم وأين يعيشون وماذا يعملون؟

هل فكرت من يستعمل هذه الداتا، وكيف صُرف جزء منها في حراك تشرين وما بعده في المجموعات التي نبتت كالفطر، و«صودف» أن الثائر الأممي ديفيد شينكر، ومن سبقه وخلفه، ظلوا يعملون على الاستثمار فيها؟

ألا تعرف أن كل البرنامج الأميركي عندما تقرر تفعيله في لبنان وتمت ترجمته إعلامياً عبر أشكال مختلفة في مقدمها رعاية «قنوات الفتنة»، كانت المهمة وحيدة، وعنوانها أوضح من الشمس: شيطنوا حزب الله وما يسمى المقاومة وأنصارها، واضربوا التيار الوطني الحر من ميشال عون وجبران باسيل إلى آخر نصير لهم، واصرخوا عالياً، ولو شمل سبابكم غالبية الشعب اللبناني.

لماذا يهتاجون لتحقيق هذا الهدف، وهل من مشكلة عندهم مع المقاومة غير أنها تهزم إسرائيل وتقاوم بقية الهيمنة الأميركية في بلادنا، وتتصدى لشياطينهم؟

وهل أنت مقتنع فعلاً بأن برنامجك لم يتحول منصة لشعارات وأحقاد تعيدنا إلى أيام المحافظين الجدد الذين أرادوا تغيير وجه الكون بعد 11 أيلول؟ ولا بأس لو سُمح لك، نعم لو سُمح لك، بتلوين المشهد بأصوات «الرأي الآخر»، على طريقة ما فعلته القنوات التي فتحت باب التطبيع مع العدو. أم أنك تصدق الرواية عن تدريب الشباب اللبناني على الحوار والديموقراطية، وصرت تعتقد فعلاً أنك صاحب دور استثنائي لا يقتصر دوره على صداقة الطبقة السياسية، بل على صناعة بديلها أيضاً.

اقرأ الفقرة التالية وابحث عن مصدرها – وأعتقد أنه ليس مستحيلاً عليك العثور عليه، أما بقيتها فجرّب حظك – وفيها يرد الآتي: «يأمل مارسيل غانم والـ mtv بأن نشر ثقافة المناظرة في لبنان وإثبات قدرة التلامذة على النقاش سيفسحا المجال لاستضافة أولى المناظرات في لبنان بين القيادات السياسية الوطنية قبيل الانتخابات النيابية القادمة التي يفترض أن تقام في عام 2022».

أسفي عليك كبير لأنك قبلت أن تكون «برغياً» في ماكينة صدِئة، لن تنفع أموال الدنيا في إعادتها إلى العمل. وإذا كنت لا تجيد القراءة، وهذا أمر غريب عليك، فتذكّر بأن ما أشرتُ إليه في مقالتي عن دور وليد البخاري لا صلة له بالفيديو الذي وُزّع بعد الحلقة. وأنت تعرف أنني لست بالخفة التي تجعلني أصدق كل ما يشاع من هنا أو هناك، ولديّ مثلك، أو أقل منك، خبرة في كيفية إدارة الحلقات عن قرب أو عن بعد. ويمكنك أن تسأل العزيز جورج، الذي حدثته عن الحلقة وعن الفيديو نفسه، وكررتُ على مسامعه ما قلتُه له مرات ومرات من ملاحظات كنت أشعر دوماً أنني ملزم بها من باب الحرص. وأقرّ هنا، علناً، بأنني أهملت من تسريبات «أقبية السوء» في ممالك القهر والإذلال، ما كتبه سفراؤهم أو نسبوه إلى غيرهم، قولاً وتوصيفاً وتقديرات… أهملتُ عن وعي كل ما قد يشكّل إساءة لك، وخاصة أنني أحفظ للراحلة والدتك، ولو عن بُعد، مكانتها الخاصة، كما حفظت الودّ لجورج ودوللي، ولك أيضاً.

أما وأنك تلبّستَ دور البطل القادر على هزم جيوش وتحرير البلاد وقيادة العباد إلى الصالح، وقررتَ دخول معركة تستخدم فيها ما تعتقد أنه حق لك، واستلّيت من الكلام سيوفاً أثقل من قدرتك على حملها، وشتمت وحقّرت واستخدمت ما وجدته مناسباً في القول والنبرة والاتهام… فلا مانع من المنازلة.

لكن، نصيحتي لك، احصر معركتك معي ومع «الأخبار»، ولا تقحم حزب الله في الأمر. وأنت، كما جورج، والبقية، تعرفون جيداً على أي أرض أقف أنا ورفاقي. كل ما أنصحك به هو التالي: واجهني مباشرة، وها أنا أبلغك مسبقاً بأن ليس في مقدورك اختيار المسرح والتوقيت والطريقة. وبما أننا نعمل في منصات تمثل كل أسلحتنا، فدعوتي لك بأن تكون في المرات المقبلة أقل توتراً وأكثر استعداداً!

Transcript:

Abdullah Ghanem al-Qahtani, Saudi Major General:

Great Mr Kamal, the issue has gone beyond Kordahi, Kordahi’s resignation (from his position as Minister of Information) is not required – it won’t be enough (to fix Saudi-Lebanese ties), nor is it (manner) required (to resolve current issues), not even – clearly (saying) – not even the President (Michel Aoun), (Gebran) Bassil (Head of the FPM), or anyone (else’s apology would do), the issue (now) for Saudi Arabia (isn’t related to Kordahi anymore), (Saudi Arabia) very clearly says: ‘we wish (to deal with) Lebanon as a state, we do not wish (to deal with) a militia(-led) Lebanon’, meaning that Hezbollah is the one running Lebanon, hijacking (power) in Lebanon, and making peace and war decisions in Lebanon; the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not accept this.

Moreover, (speaking to) brother Khalil and others (as well), why are they upset? Saudi Arabia has done nothing more than withdraw its ambassador (to Lebanon) and told the (Lebanese ambassador to the kingdom) to leave, we do not want to import drugs from Lebanon, what’s wrong with that? What harm (does it cause)? If this issue concerns them a lot, why this nervousness and arrogance? Why (would they) speak in such a way and why (do they act) in such a pathetic and desperate way? Let me assure you something, Hezbollah is hated by Lebanese in Lebanon, the people of Lebanon – (Hezbollah) ignores – (and I’m saying this) to you (too Mr) Khalil, (Hezbollah) ignores millions (of Lebanese people) and says ‘we are Lebanon’, ignoring the people of Lebanon. All the Lebanese people, or most of them, want to get rid of Hezbollah. Look Mr –

Host:

– this means –

al-Qahtani:

– (Allow me) for a few (more) seconds, look at (the situation in) Lebanon –

Host:

Mr Ghanem, you wish to say to Lebanon: ‘form a government that excludes Hezbollah, we wish to see a Lebanese government in which (there is no representation) of Hezbollah’, through these words you’re telling the Lebanese people: ‘you must exclude Hezbollah from the government and the political scene’, although it (Hezbollah) gained many votes –

Al-Qahtani:

(I’m not speaking about) exclusion, (I didn’t mean) the exclusion (of Hezbollah), Mr Kamal, (it’s not a matter of) exclusion, we demand Lebanese sovereignty. Is it (not) reasonable for Hezbollah to be a political component among the Lebanese, (a component) that forms, leads, and takes part in the governance of Lebanon? Should (Sayyed) Hassan Nasrallah do this? Brother, a few days ago, the man (Sayyed Nasrallah) came out (on TV) and said ‘we have a 100,000 fighters, I will crush Lebanon and (everyone) in Lebanon…’, so how would you deal with it? How would you hope for (good and stable) relations with a militant leading a state, hijacking its power? This is out of the question!

In the end – just a few seconds – the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, according to my analysis, I’m not an official, (it) has passed all the boundaries, the choice is now in the hands of the Lebanese, they have an opportunity, they have the elections, they have the international community; France will not do them any good, nor will the US, the IMF is the one telling them ‘I will not lend you a single dollar before the election (takes place)’. (Yet,) what will the elections do? Will it put Hassan Nasrallah (in power) again? Let the Lebanese do whatever they want to, (let them) put Hassan Nasrallah –

Host:

– Good –

Al-Qahtani:

– as a leader affiliated to Iran, and (after all,) this is their (own) affair.

Host:

What do you have to say about that Mr Khalil Nasrallah? He says if Hezbollah was elected (by the Lebanese), let the (ballot) box and citizens elect him again, and (then) let Hezbollah and the ones supporting it in Iran do them (any) good.

Khalil Nasrallah, Lebanese Journalist:

Firstly, I wish to take the whole time I need, because the game of time is somehow leaning in favour of the (other) guest.

Al-Qahtani:

– do not interrupt me next time –

Nasrallah:

– in favour of Abdallah from Saudi Arabia –

Al-Qahtani:

– or else I’ll interrupt you, please! –

Nasrallah:

– The first point, –

Host:

– Yes please –

Nasrallah:

– He hasn’t lived in Lebanon, he doesn’t know (how things are in) Lebanon, he doesn’t know (the reality of) Lebanon at all, he hasn’t read anything about Lebanon, he doesn’t know about the electoral equations, he knows nothing about these numbers. He speaks what he hears on some (TV) channels, or maybe according to what is dictated (to him) by (certain sides) in a certain place.

Secondly, regarding the issue of the Arabic language, I’ve learned the Arabic language very well in Sanaa, so until now, it seems that he hasn’t heard the words of his eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah –

Al-Qahtani:

– where did you learn it? –

Nasrallah:

– (Nasrallah) the hero of the Arabs, he didn’t listen to him when he said –

Al-Qahtani:

– where did you and the Sayyed learn (Arabic)? –

Host:

– Mr Ghanem –

Nasrallah:

– Those 100,000 fighters are –

Al-Qahtani:

– Did you learn (Arabic) in Qom or Tehran? –

Host:

– (Just) a moment –

Nasrallah:

– (while another party) has a 15,000 fightesr in Lebanon and wants to ignite a civil war (in Lebanon), and is supported by the Saudi embassy, (and this man) is Samir Geagea (Head of the Lebanese Forces party). Sayyed Nasrallah said that day, (and he said it using) formal and eloquent Arabic, he clearly said: (I’ve mentioned the number of) these (fighters) to prevent a civil war in Lebanon, and we prepared them to defend Lebanon (against external aggression and threats); those (fighters) fought in Syria and are fighting against Israel. So, if this issue made Riyadh upset, it’s Riyadh’s problem to deal with –

Al-Qahtani:

– They fight in Syria against Israel? –

Nasrallah:

The third point, in everything Abdallah from Saudi Arabia has said – we (in fact) destroyed your (i.e., Saudi Arabia’s) scheme in Syria, we struck your scheme, we struck your (military) forces and the ‘Jaysh al-Islam’ –

Al-Qahtani:

– You fight Israel from Syria! –

Nasrallah:

– funded by Mohammed bin Nayef which was operated by Bandar bin Sultan in the beginning –

Al-Qahtani:

– Why don’t you fight Israel from Lebanon! –

Nasrallah:

– we know you (Saudis) very well. Thirdly, regarding the issue of –

Al-Qahtani:

– We too know you well –

Nasrallah:

– exporting of –

Al-Qahtani:

– we know you well, (we know) all of you militants –

Nasrallah:

– and accusing us of (exporting) Captagon (drugs), I wish that Saudi Arabia (understands) that Hezbollah does not export such substances. The second issue – and the most important point in this regard – is that they (Saudis) export suicide bombers to many Arab states. (The other) issue regarding the discourse of –

Al-Qahtani:

– How many (suicide bombers) have we exported to you in Lebanon? –

Nasrallah:

– Abdallah from Saudi Arabia, and the discourse of Saudis –

Al-Qahtani:

– how many Saudi (suicide bombers) have come to you, to Lebanon? –

Nasrallah:

– is that you have to do x, y, and z… what do you have to do with (Lebanon)? Whether Hezbollah is part of the (Lebanese) government or not? What do you have to do (with Lebanon’s internal affairs)? Mind your own problems, and mind your Yemen-related issues –

Al-Qahtani:

– and you, stay (concerned with the internal affairs of) Lebanon –

Nasrallah:

– Look (for solutions; what) should you do with the Yemen (issue) –

Al-Qahtani:

– Enjoy (having) Hezbollah (in Lebanon)! –

Nasrallah:

– the country which you have attacked in the first place. Above all –

Al-Qahtani:

– what do you have to do with Yemen?

Nasrallah:

More importantly, if you wish to see the extent of Saudi arrogance, the Saudi foreign minister said in his statement, very clearly – and clearly you’re free to jump in and talk over me, because they didn’t mute your microphone – if you go back to the Saudi foreign minister’s statement, (you’ll see) that he’s making impossible demands.

These impossible demands are the very same ones the Americans used to make, all US statements by the ambassador (to Lebanon), or David Hale used to speak of removing Hezbollah’s influence over the government, even though Hezbollah is not in control of the government…still they used to say that.

Host:

They also told you to form a technocratic government, and asked for everyone not to interfere, including Hezbollah…

Nasrallah:

When…when – the nature of the government is none of their business, neither the Americans’ nor anyone else’s, and the government turned out to be just as the Lebanese wanted it to be. This is very clear.

Host:

But that’s the French proposal. The proposal was to form a technocratic government…

The floor is yours Mr. Nasrallah…can you hear me?

Nasrallah:

Oh…no I didn’t hear you well…

Host:

What I said was that the French proposal was to form a technocratic government, a non-party government, and to keep all parties away from the government…and they later on said that it can be a technocratic government whose ministers are appointed by the different parties.

Nasrallah:

No, no, no…allow me to clarify. The French proposal, at first, was to form a national unity government that (espoused) a new political contract in Lebanon, which the Americans rejected. So, they proposed (a less effective solution of) forming a mission-driven government. “Mission-driven government” is somewhat an ambiguous term, and was part of what the Americans wanted, because at the time American pressure on Lebanon was at its highest. This led us to the formation of this government, not because a certain foreign power wanted this government to be formed, but because a certain party in Lebanon, Hezbollah, did not accept that the Lebanese people be humiliated, and brought in the fuel shipments, thereby forcing the Americans to accept the formation of a government in Lebanon, or at least to allow it to happen. By doing so, they overturned some previous objections, including (those of) the Saudis.

Not to stray too far off track, as for the Saudis, their main crisis is Yemen, that’s where their problem is. When they spoke with the Iranians, they made a few awkward suggestions…

Al-Qahtani:

Stick to Lebanon…(you have enough problems as it is)

Nasrallah:

…and the Iranians replied and told them that they should talk these things over with Hezbollah. This really irritated them (the Saudis). We understand how they deal with things, this mentality.

In Lebanon also, let me tell Abdallah something important, they (the Saudis) had some political forces whom they (encouraged) towards a civil war in 2017, and detained Lebanon’s Prime Minister (Saad Hariri), who also has Saudi citizenship.

Regardless of whether I agree with (Hariri) or not, the (Saudi) move was foiled.

Now, before the Tayouneh (massacre), and they (the Saudis) know full-well who they’re funding, the Lebanese Forces party, which is working for Saudi Arabia, has also failed in this task. They opened fire on civilians, and Hezbollah made a wise decision (to prevent any armed reaction).

Saudi options in Lebanon are now beginning to run out, and so they went toward this option (the diplomatic crisis over Kordahi)…and by the way, this business of cutting diplomatic relations has run counter to US wishes. The Americans did not agreed to the resignation of the Mikati government, they did not agree on a more severe embargo, and now the Saudis have begun to discover – and they will arrive to this conclusion in the near future – that they made a decision…just us the UN Secretary General says that the war on Yemen is foolish, this decision of theirs is also foolish. This is a decision that will have no favorable returns for them.

This show that they’ve put on, that the Bahraini government has followed in their stead, as well as the Hadi government in Riyadh, and the Abu Dhabi government…

Al-Qahtani:

What do we stand to lose?

Nasrallah:

…and so, in this next period, they’ll come to the realisation that they’ve made a wrong decision, and this decision will backfire. Let them go to Yemen, where they should talk to the government in Sana’a, peer to peer. This gamble of theirs will lose, and it has begun to lose, just as they’ve lost in other instances, they will also lose now.

Hezbollah Cementing Lebanon’s Deterrence against Enemies: 100k Fighters Announcement Based on Solid Facts


Hezbollah Cementing Lebanon’s Deterrence against Enemies: 100k Fighters Announcement Based on Solid Facts

By Mohammad Youssef

Hezbollah Secretary General last speech about Tayyouneh bloody ambush by Samir Geagea’s criminal militia has continued to send resounding messages in Lebanon and all over the region, and especially within the ranks of the ‘Israeli’ enemy in occupied Palestine.

The content of the speech was very direct in accusing Geagea militia, which is formally called the ‘Lebanese Forces’ party, of being responsible for the bloody massacre they perpetrated against the civilian protesters passing through the area.

The speech has equally exposed the head of this criminal militia Samir Geagea and his long history of war crimes, assassinations, massacres, and aggression against the Lebanese people.

It also exposed his mindset and sick mentality which is always preoccupied and obsessed with violence, power thirst and bloodshed.

The speech exposed the history of this militia and its real agenda of partitioning the country and turning it into closed antagonistic cantons fighting against each other throughout a civil war.

Sayyed Nasrallah made it very clear that the Resistance will never be dragged into this war, and announced for the first time that this Resistance has 100000 fighters who are ready to defend Lebanon and the Lebanese people.

This announcement was the center of interest and deeply examined by many parties inside and outside Lebanon.

Although Sayyed Nasrallah was very clear in explaining that the fighters are to secure a guarantee of protection and safety for Lebanon and the Lebanese, against any inside or outside threat, some of the ill-intentioned tried to use his announcement as an example about Hezbollah threat to the Lebanese.

But aside from the internal Lebanese affairs, the message was read carefully in the circles of the ‘Israeli’ enemy; the ‘Israeli’ media outlets and military research centers had intensive focus on this announcement.

The enemy knows for a fact that Sayyed Nasrallah’s announcement about the resistance’s 100,000 trained and fully-equipped fighters is neither a media joke nor a propaganda. And even if it is part of a psychological war against the enemy, it is built on solid facts.

Thus, it will definitely act as a further deterrence against any ‘Israeli’ aggression and will solidify the Lebanese equation of protection and safety, furthermore, it will send a strong Lebanese message to the ‘Israelis’ that they cannot dig and extract gas and oil from the Lebanese territories and properties in land and sea without taking into account that Lebanon is capable of defending its resources.

This is a very important message at this time as the negotiations over the issue are taking place.

By doing this, Hezbollah is cementing the Lebanese points of strength and showing friends and enemies that Lebanon is not weak or pressured to accept any dictation from outside countries especially the US.

Additionally, this message would definitely help insure the security and protection of the strategic Lebanese natural resources not only for now but also for the coming generations.

In all, the speech has been successfully able to bring more immune stability into the Lebanese fragile political and economic system at a time when it needed it the most! This opens a window of hope and optimism amid all the catastrophic factors surrounding the country and its people from all sides and on all levels!

Geagea Summoned by Military Court over Tayouneh Ambush, Refuses to Testify

Samir Geagea

Head of Lebanese Forces militia Samir Geagea was summoned by Lebanon’s military court for questioning over the deadly ambush which killed seven civilians earlier last week in Tayouneh.

Both Reuters news agency and local media reported the move late Thursday, noting that it was based on confessions made by militants who were arrested on the day of the deadly shooting.

“The government commissioner to the military court Judge Fadi Akiki gave a signal to listen to the testimony of the head of the Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, in the Tayouneh file,” Reuters news agency quoted informed sources as saying.

“Confessions made by the detainees in this file… Judge Akiki’s reference requires that Geagea be heard before him in the military court,” the sources added.

Commenting on the summoning, Geagea said he has not yet received a request to listen to his statement, but noted that if this happens he will not appear before the Military Court if Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah is not also summoned.

“The commissioner should listen first to Sayyed Nasrallah,” he said in an interview with MTV local channel.

The head of the notorious militia who committed massacres during the 15-year civil war claimed that his party “has a license,” while Hezbollah has not, without referring to the deadly shooting in this regard.

On October 14, seven Lebanese civilians were martyred as Lebanese Forces (LF) militants and snipers opened fire at peaceful demonstrators protesting against politicization of investigation into last year’s powerful Beirut Port blast.

Among the victims were a passerby and a woman who were shot in their heads by (LF) snipers.

Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah lashed out at the LF, saying that its project is to ignite a civil war in the country. In a speech on Monday (October 18), Sayyed Nasrallah hit back at Geagea threat that the LF has 15,000 militants, warning him against miscalculation with the powerful Lebanese Resistance movement.

Al-Manar Security Sources: Confessions of the Arrested for Tayouneh Crime Led to Issuance of Subpoena against Geagea

Image5

Security sources told Al-Manar TV that 25 suspects have been arrested for Tayouneh crime, adding that their confessions led to the identification of the culprits in the attack on the protesters and the locations in the scene surrounding.

The confessions also revealed that some of the culprits were holding guns and hiding inside cars in the neighborhoods close to the protest, according to Al-Manar sources.

The security sources added that a considerable number of the culprits have got out of sight.

The sources noted that political interventions led to procrastination of the issuance of subpoena against the head of the “Lebanese Forces” militia, Samir Geagea in order to identify the legal authority which will hear his testimony.

Seven martyrs and around 30 injured were reported during the armed attack carried out by the “Lebanese Forces” militiamen on the peaceful protestors in Tayouneh area on Thursday, October 14. The protesters were demonstrating against the politicized decisions of Al-Bitar.

في تل ابيب الخبر اليقين .. الموجة المسيحية من الربيع العربي

 بقلم: علي سلمان

عندما كنت أنتظر خطاب السيد حسن نصرالله كنت أحس انني لاأحسده على الموقف الذي وجد نفسه فيه .. وكنت أشفق عليه من صعوبة الخطاب الدقيق لأنه يجب ان يكون لكل حرف وزن ولكل حركة وسكون قيمة .. وتكاد كيمياء الكلام في هذا النوع من الخطابات تخضع وتنتقى من جدول مندلييف الدوري في كيمياء اللغة كما لو انها عناصر جديدة في كيمياء الحروف .. وكل كلمة مكونة من كوانتومات ضوئية ولها أمواج .. وفي كل سطر ميزان ريختر للزلازل .. لأن السيد حسن ان صمت تأدبا فان صمته سيثير هياج الضباع في بيروت الشرقية ويجعها تتوهم انها مقبلة على وليمة من لحم السباع .. وان زأر وتمطى غضبا .. فان عواء الكلاب سيملأ الكون .. ولذلك فان كل كلمة يجب ان تكون مفصلة على مقاس كل شخص يسمع بأذنيه .. ولها وزن ذري وكتلة .. وهذا يعني انه يجب ان يفصل من كل كلمة ملايين المقاسات والاوزان كي تناسب جميع الآذان والقلوب والارواح وكل من يستمع ..

فالمشكلة تتلخص في أننا نرى شخصا فارسا نبيلا أحاط به الصعاليك .. وهو لايحب مبارزة الصعاليك .. وسيفه ليس عصا لقتل الضباع ولا لابعاد الكلاب .. فهؤلاء ليس لهم الا العصا والدبوس والدرة .. والسيف الصارم المصقول يتركه الفارس لقتل لمن يستحق ان يقتل به ..
انا على يقين ان كل من استمع للخطاب أحس أنه عصارة العقل والحكمة .. الا سمير جعجع والقواتيين الذين ليست لهم أذان ولا عيون ولاقلوب .. لأنها حسب الاسطورة أكلتها الثعالب التي تبحث عن الاعضاء التي لاتستعملها المخلوقات .. وسنكون في منتهى السذاجة ان ظننا ان مخلوقا قواتيا او شخصا مثل جعجع قد فهم كلمة واحدة مما قيل او أنه استوعب الرسالة أو انها لينت قلبه وسقت عقله الخشبي اليابس فاخضوضر وأورق ..


الخطاب ألقى الرعب في اسرائيل وألقى الرعب في قلوب كل من يخشى على اسرائيل .. فالرجل يتحدث عن مئة ألف مقاتل بالحد الادنى وهم مئة ألف رجل كوماندوس حسب تصنيفات وخبرات المعارك .. ولذلك فان اسرائيل وأميريكا ستعملان بكل جهد على ان يدفع بسمير جعجع الى فك السبع ولو تمزق لحمه .. كيلا تنغرز نيوب الليث في أجساد الاسرائيليين والامريكيين .. سيكون سمير جعجع الدرع البشري الذي ستدفع به اسرائيل وسيكون القواتيون هم القرابين الغالية الثمن التي ستشتريها اسرائيل واميريكا طالما انها ستشغل الليوث عن اسرائيل فترة ريثما تستعد لمواجهة هذا الرعب الجاثم في الشمال ..

تحتوي هذه الصورة على سمة alt فارغة؛ اسم الملف هو d984d8a7d8b9d8a7d984.png


سمير جعجع بكل غباء ونرجسية القاتل المحترف سيجد انه صار أهم شخصية في نظر اسرائيل لأنه تحدى السيد حسن نصرالله وصار حصان الرهان وأنه الرجل الذي سينقذ اسرائيل وتنتظره اسرائيل كالمسيح المخلص .. وسيحمل الافعى تحت أبطه حتى انه سينال لقب (تأبط شرا) .. وستضحكون ان اسرائيليين نشروا بوستات لرأس جعجع الاصلع وكتبوا تحت صاحب الصلعة الكبيرة: (ان للبنان حكيما الآن) ..وهناك في بيروت الشرقية من سيملأ رأسه بالخرافات والاوهام .. وهناك من سيضخ في آذان القواتيين المزيد من الغباء والرعونة والكراهية .. ولاأظن ان اسرائيل ستترك جيش حزب الله في الشمال متفرغا لها بل ستدفع جعجع للانتحار طالما انه يؤجل معركتها مع جيش حزب الله ..


وبعد ان انتهى دور الاسلاميين في تأخير المعركة بين محور المقاومة واسرائيل وتلقوا كل الضربات نيابة عنها وذادوا بارواحهم وأجسادهم في سبيلها .. وبذلوا الغالي والنفيس ذودا عنها .. وماتوا في سبيل اسرائيل كالجراد .. بعد ان احترقوا وحرقوا .. وقتلوا وقتلوا .. وانتهت لعبتهم .. لم يبق أمام اسرائيل سوى تنسيقية بيروت وقائد الجيش الحر اللبناني سمير جعجع وكتيبة الجعاجعة .. الذين ان اندلع القتال سيعيدون سيناريو الانسحابات التكتيكية الشهيرة .. وسنتهي المعركة بالباصات الخضراء تقف على مشارف بيروت لتنقل القواتيين خارج بيروت من غير سلاح وترمي بهم خارج بيروت ..
اسرائيل تعلم مدى قوة حزب الله ومدى شراسته في القتال وهو الذي اكتسب خبرة لاتقدر بثمن في الحرب السورية وواجه مع السوريين أشرس انواع القتال والانتحاريين في التاريخ .. ولذلك فانها لن تدخر وسيلة لدفع الحمار جعجع الى فك الاسد .. والحمار سيظن ان حافريه كافيان لكسب المعركة ..
ربما يعرف السيد حسن ان القواتيين هم نسخة مسيحية من داعش .. وأذكر انه توجه لكل نية صادقة للدواعش وللقاعدة في بداية الحرب السورية وحذرهم من انهم قرابين يدفع بها الغرب للتخلص منهم ولضرب أعداء الغرب .. ونصحهم ان يفكروا بعقل وحكمة وأن يوفروا دماءهم ودماء المسلمين .. ولكن هيهات .. كان الاسلاميون مثل الحجارة التي تنحدر من الشواهق وكالأنعام الطائشة لايمكن ايقاف رعونتها .. انتحروا وسحقوا وماتوا بالمجان .. ولم يسمعوا النصيحة .. والقواتيون على خطاهم لاأعتقد انهم سيسمعون النصيحة ولن يوقفهم شيء .. الا اسرائيل نفسها .. عندما تضرب عقابا لها على هذا الاسلوب الرخيص في اطلاق الانتحاريين والمجانين في الشرق من أجل سلامتها ..


لذلك ربما لتوفير المعركة واضاعة الوقت .. على جيش حزب الله ان يؤدب اسرائيل كي يتأدب القواتيون وغيرهم .. ربما تكون معركة مع اسرائيل صعبة علينا وعلى الاسرائيليين .. وربما يكون ثمنها كبيرا .. ولكنه ثمن سندفعه من جيب اسرائيل ايضا وليس من جيوب بلادنا وابنائنا .. كما انها ستكون أم المعارك وهي التي ستجبر الاسرائيليين على أيقاف المجانين وربطهم وحزمهم حزم السلمة حفاظا على سلامتها .. اما الضرب في القواتيين فان سيكون أمنية اسرائيلية ومرحلة ثاتية من الربيع العربي الذي ستسميه (الربيع المسيحي) كي يموت القواتيون نيابة عنها كما مات الاسلاميون .. وكي ينشغل حزب الله ويستدرج الى الزواريب بدل مارون الراس وكفر كلا والجليل ..
أعتقد ان اسلوب اسرائيل صار معروفا وهو تقديم القرابين والدفع بالخدم للموت بدلا عنها .. ويجب على المقاومة الان ان تفكر بطريقة مختلفة .. لأن اسرائيل ستكرر التجربة طالما انها نجحت سابقا .. وعلينا ان نطور التجربة .. وهذه المرة للجم العملاء وتأديبهم .. يجب ان يصدر لهم الامر من اسرائيل بالعودة الى الاوكار والحجور لانقاذها .. ويجب ان يؤمروا بالتوقف عن ازعاج حزب الله والانصياع للهدوء .. ويجب ان تصبح المعادلة ان اي اعتداء قواتي على المقاومة سنفسره على انه امر عمليات اسرائيلي .. ويرد على صاحب امر العمليات .. في الجليل .. وليس في بيروت الشرقية ..


من يضرب الجليل فكأنما ضرب مقر القوات اللبنانية وغرفة نوم ستريدا وسمير .. ومن يدخل الجليل فانه كمن دخل كل بيوت العصيان والخيانة والجريمة .. هذا خيار يستحق ان ندرسه وان ننظر اليه بكل تأن وهدوء وحساب للربح والخسارة .. فلقد جربنا ضرب الاسلاميين الذين كانوا جيوشا بلا نهاية ولم يسمعوا النصيحة ولم يعيروا توسلاتنا اي اهتمام بأن لايقعوا في الفخ والمواجهة العبثية .. ولم يتعلموا وماتوا وهم يزحفون نحو الجنة ..

والقواتيون لايختلفون البتة ولهم نفس العقلية .. ويكاد الملقن والمعلم هو نفسه حتى انني أحس انهم يدرسون كتب محمد بن عبد الوهاب .. لأن لهم نفس الغباء والعقلية والعنف والتشنج والعصبية والعمى والصمم .. وكأني بهم من خريجي مساجد السعودية ..

اضربوا تل أبيب .. فيسقط سمير جعجع وجرذان القوات اللبنانية .. وسترتجف كل 14 آذار .. ولن تجرؤ على لوم حزب الله واختراع الاتهامات له مرة بقتل الحريري ومرة بتفجير بيروت .. ومرة بتفجير الحروب الاهلية .. ومرة بجر لبنان الى حروب ايران .. الكل سيكف عن النباح ..


في تل أبيب الخبر اليقين .. خبر الاسلاميين والاخوانيين والقواتيين وكل عملاء هذا الزمن .. انها دار المجانين .. ودار رعاية كل المرتزقة والصعاليك .. مسلمين ومسيحيين

Sayyed Nasrallah: ’LF’ The Biggest Existential Threat to Christians; Hezbollah Has 100k Fighters to Defend Lebanon

Sayyed Nasrallah: ’LF’ The Biggest Existential Threat to Christians; Hezbollah Has 100k Fighters to Defend Lebanon

By Al-Ahed News

Hezbollah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah delivered a speech on Monday evening in which he touched on the latest political developments in Lebanon and the region.

Starting with a message marking Prophet Mohammad [PBUH]’s birth anniversary, Sayyed Nasrallah congratulated all Muslims around the world and the Lebanese people, and stressed that the festival will be held to celebrate the occasion on Friday despite the pain resulting from the Tayyouneh massacre.

His Eminence praised the masses in Yemen who celebrated today the holy occasion of Prophet Mohammad [PBUH]’s birth anniversary despite the war and the siege against their country.

Moving to Afghanistan, the Hezbollah leader mourned the martyrs of the Kandahar mosque blast who have been massacred by the Wahhabi terrorist Daesh [Arabic for ‘ISIS/ISIL’] organization.

His Eminence then extended condolences to the Syrian leadership and people on the martyrdom of the liberated detainee Medhat Saleh who had been assassinated by the ‘Israeli’ enemy in the occupied Syrian Golan.

The Tayyouneh Massacre

Moving to the main subject behind his appearance, Sayyed Nasrallah extended condolences to the families of the martyrs of the Tayyouneh massacre that was committed on Thursday by the “Lebanese Forces” [LF] party, led by Samid Geagea.

Noting that the latest events are critical, dangerous, and require identifying the stance, Sayyed Nasrallah addressed the families of the martyrs as saying: “Your sorrow was ours and your pain was ours in this dangerous crime.”

The Hezbollah leader lashed out at the perpetrators of the Tayyouneh massacre, in which seven Shia protesters were sniped, and many others sustained injuries. “There is a party that wants to make our people in Ain Remmeneh and Furn Shebbak feel as if the people living in Dahiyeh are their enemies

Some “LF” leaders referred to opening fire at the protesters as “resistance”, and the leader of this party wants to fake an enemy and keep the Christians worried about their existence, Sayyed Nasrallah said, adding that the goal behind provoking such concerns is to present this party as the main defender of the Christians.

“The goals belong to leadership as well as to the roles offered by Gulf countries that have interests in our country,” His Eminence warned, naming the party as the “Lebanese Forces” and its leader, whom Hezbollah didn’t name before, as it didn’t want to create tension with anybody.

“We didn’t respond to this party despite all the insults it has been addressing us with,” Sayyed Nasrallah said, pointing to that “What happened is critical in a new phase for us to deal with the internal Lebanese affairs.”

“This party has long been attempting to fake an enemy for passing its scheme and chose the foreign-targeted Hezbollah for this purpose, and although the martyrs of the Thursday massacre are from Hezbollah and Amal Movement, the “LF” leader focused on Hezbollah,” Sayyed Nasrallah made clear.

In reference to the weapons, training, and structure, the Resistance leader underscored that everything prove that there have been militias fighting in the event: “This party doesn’t care if a military confrontation or a civil war would erupt as this serves its foreign [agendas].”

Sayyed Nasrallah told the Christian people that the ‘LF’ main agenda was to create a civil war that would lead to a demographic transformation. “The ‘LF’ party doesn’t quit using the language of the old war and division, which prepared for their latest crime.”

“The ‘LF’ offered former Saudi minister al-Sabhan in 2017 to start a civil war in Lebanon, its leader stabbed his ally Saad Hariri in his back while he was arrested in Saudi Arabia, and provoked some old allies some months ago to confront Hezbollah,” Sayyed Nasrallah outlined.

Regarding Thursday’s massacre, Sayyed Nasrallah affirmed that: “We’ve been assured by the Lebanese Army which we requested to be deployed heavily in the area [of the protest]. And Geagea’s talking about a “mini Christian May 7th incident” condemns the leader of the ‘LF’ himself as it represents a complete claim of responsibility for the massacre.”

Regarding the Army’s assuring that everything was ok, Sayyed Nasrallah explained: “We [thought] we’ve been protected by the Lebanese Army and the Lebanese state on Thursday. We didn’t take any security or precautionary measures due to the area’s sensitivity.”

However, the Resistance leader stressed that “this mine that we were able to contain on Thursday requires a solution and a treatment.”

Sayyed Nasrallah told the Lebanese people in general and the Christians in particular that portraying Hezbollah as an enemy is an illusion and unfairness, and it is the ‘LF’ party that covered the Nusra Front and the Takfiris in Lebanon and Syria

Sayyed Nasrallah urged the Christians in Lebanon to ask the Christian areas in Syria how Hezbollah defended them, and asked them: “Who supported the people of Arsal outskirts villages and who supported the “rebels” who have been backed by the ‘LF’?”

His Eminence then answered: “It is Hezbollah that defended the Christians back then before the Lebanese Army was allowed to interfere. Hezbollah eliminated the danger that was threatening the Christians there and sacrificed the elite of its youths in these battles.”

“We are not bragging about our achievements, but facts and truth shall be conveyed,” Sayyed Nasrallah pointed out, recalling that after the ‘Israeli’ withdrawal from south Lebanon, every Hezbollah or Amal member was banned from entering Christian areas.

We consider that we’ve done the right thing in 2000, and we didn’t attack the collaborators who tortured and killed us, however, in every area where the ‘LF’ party has been, a battle or war has occurred, the Hezbollah leader said.

“All of those whom we arrested were handed to the Lebanese Army and we didn’t prosecute even those who killed us. We had a historic chance to apply the charges against us but this is not what our religious teaches us,” Sayyed Nasrallah added.

In a continued address to the Christian Lebanese, His Eminence noted that even the supporters of the ‘LF’ party live in our areas and Hezbollah didn’t harm any of them. “All the accusations against us are unfair and represent a big mine in the country.”

Meanwhile, Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized that “The biggest existential threat to the Christians in Lebanon and the security of the Christian society is the ‘LF’ party whose scheme to establish cantons still exists. This party is a threat because it allied with Daesh and the Nusra Front, whom it called “opposition”.”

Drawing the Christians’ attention to possible scenarios from the past, Sayyed Nasrallah said: “Had Daesh and Nusra achieved victory, no Christian would have been left in Syria, and the ‘LF’ leader’s alliance with those groups exposed a major threat to Syria.”

“Those who forced the Christians to flee Iraq are the Saudi-run Wahhabi terrorist groups; we don’t pose any threat or danger to the Christians, it is rather from the side of the ‘LF’ and its leader,” His Eminence added.

Hezbollah has been positive to all dialogue proposals in Lebanon and made the understanding with the Free Patriotic Movement in 2005, and the first to oppose it was the ‘LF’ party, which didn’t spare any effort to cancel this understanding, Sayyed Nasrallah recalled.

“Our main concern was to prevent the Sunni-Shia sedition the ‘LF’ party has been seeking and the state is the guarantor for all the Lebanese people, whether Christian or Muslims,” His Eminence added.

“Although the ‘60’ electoral law doesn’t serve Hezbollah’s interest, we accepted it as it serves the Christians’, and the side that negated the Orthodox electoral law is the ‘LF’ party,” Sayyed Nasrallah said.

Hezbollah has done its duty, but we are displaying the facts, Sayyed Nasrallah added. “Hezbollah is a very important positive factor and doesn’t represent any threat. It didn’t set any condition on the President of the Republic in the elections, and Minister Suleiman Franjieh was loyal and made a very ethical stance during the elections.”

When the ‘LF’ attacked us and we gathered our martyrs and our wounds, it is because we avoided a civil war in the country, Sayyed Nasrallah said.

To the “Lebanese Forces”!

Sayyed Nasrallah advised the ‘LF’ leader to give up on fighting and internal wars; referring to him as a person who definitely miscalculates his schemes.

“The “Lebanese Forces” officials admitted in their statements that they are an armed militia,” His Eminence said.

The Hezbollah leader then addressed their leader, Geagea, urging him to bear in mind that Hezbollah hadn’t been stronger in the region than it is today; “you are wrong” as you claim that Hezbollah is weaker than the Palestine Liberation Organization.

“Bear in mind that Hezbollah’s only military body is formed of 100,000 fighters who are not trained for civil wars but to defend our country against the enemies. Our calculations are right; we have constants, ethics, and values; so, don’t miscalculate, better stay polite, and take lessons from your wars and our wars,” Sayyed Nasrallah told Geagea.

His Eminence then urged the state and all the Lebanese people to stand against this vampire and criminal to prevent a civil war: “For the first time we announce the number of our combatants not to threaten with war but to prevent a civil war.”

Sayyed Nasrallah then dared the ‘LF’ party to answer: “In case of war, would the frightened ‘Israel’ support you, or would the US and Saudi Arabia support you?”

Right to Peaceful Assembly

“It is our right to peaceful protesting as any other side, and we formed a committee of 2000 members instead of a popular invitation. We didn’t intend to breakthrough or attack; it was just a peaceful protest,” Sayyed Nasrallah described the Thursday rally.

“Provocative slogans were voiced, which is wrong, and after that the shooting started and martyrs were killed. After opening fire towards the protests, and after the death of the martyrs, some youths got weapons to deter the attackers,” he added.

Sayyed Nasrallah then announced that Hezbollah has been informed by the security apparatuses that the martyrs have been killed by the “Lebanese Forces” fire.

However, Sayyed Nasrallah noted, “We, the ones killed unjustly, want a serious and quick investigation about how the massacre took place, and we want to hold those responsible accountable. We also need to know whether the soldier who opened fire at civilian protests had done this individually or had he been given an order to do this.”

But despite all the previous incidents, we are keen on the Lebanese Army establishment, which is the sole guarantor of the Lebanese unity, the Hezbollah leader underscored.

As for the Khaldeh incident, Sayyed Nasrallah uncovered that the Lebanese Army is investigating and the prosecution of 18 of the arrestees will be done within days.

“The Lebanese Army personnel are our brothers and they are part of the golden equation to which we adhere,” His Eminence said, urging that: “The right track is to investigate the Tayyouneh massacre and hold the killers accountable,” noting that had the investigation been politicized, Hezbollah won’t abandon the issue of the blood of its martyrs.

Beirut Port Blast Cause

Elsewhere in his speech, Sayyed Nasrallah clearly noted that “We are concerned about the Beirut Port blast cause, in which we sacrificed martyrs, and we are very keen to learn the truth,” and “Once the track of justice turns into political targeting, we have no right to remain silent.”

“The ‘LF’ party is the first abuser of the Beirut Port blast cause, and we won’t abandon this issue. Hezbollah was the most daring to tackle this issue are there has been intimidation for those willing to tackle it,” His Eminence added.

“Hezbollah took it upon itself for the families of the martyrs to learn the truth and the reasons why the technical report regarding the investigations has not been issue yet.”

He then dared those who are accusing Hezbollah of being behind the blast to bring their evidence, asking whether Hezbollah’s demand to change the judge is considered threatening while the US intimidation is not?

“Those who mostly bear the responsibility of the Beirut Port blast are the judges that permitted the entry of the nitrates to the port,” the Resistance leader underlined.

Addressing the state of law and institutions, Sayyed Nasrallah told them to do something and shoulder their responsibility, as it is the time for treatment.

To the Families of Tayyouneh Martyrs

At the end of his speech, Sayyed Nasrallah addressed the families of the seven martyrs of Tayyouneh massacre, praising their level of responsibility and belonging, and patience despite the incitement.

“Punishing the killers is a path we will continue, and your martyrs are in the same level of that of the martyrs of Resistance. We have to preserve the goal for which thousand of martyrs have been sacrificed; it is a secure and stable Lebanon,” His Eminence underscored.

“The US wants a civil war as it has done in other countries; it wants us to lose our civil peace. What is needed is patience and insight, awareness and openness, and overcoming the wounds to spare another mine or any other choice the enemy wants for us,” Sayyed Nasrallah concluded.
