Sayyed Nasrallah: Palestinian Resistance Will Triumph
31/12/2008 Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah reiterated on Wednesday that Israel’s deadliest offensive against Gaza launched since Saturday was identical to what had taken place in Lebanon during the July 2006 war and expected that the Palestinian Resistance would achieve victory and the Zionist entity would be defeated once again. His eminence stressed that the Palestinian Resistance was still tenacious and solid, pointing out that its base wasn't affected by the massacres committed until now.
Sayyed Nasrallah was speaking through a large screen as he marked the fourth night of Ashoura at the Sayyed Shouhadaa complex in Beirut's southern suburb (Dahiyeh).
His eminence explained that there was more than one aspect in the offensive against Gaza, noting that the air raids against Palestinians, the martyrs who are falling and the destruction which is taking place do not constitute the whole picture. Sayyed Nasrallah praised the Palestinian Resistance for its steadfastness and firmness and the Gaza people for their sense of responsibility and support for the Resistance.
The Resistance leader noted that the Palestinian Resistance was benefiting from the July 2006 war better than the Israelis, noting that the lessons are making the Israelis appear even weaker. His eminence underscored that the Israelis didn't have any "declared goal" for their war on Gaza. "In Lebanon, they had announced big objectives since the first day but they failed to achieve any of them," Sayyed Nasrallah pointed out, noting that for these reasons, they (Israelis) seem really perplexed in Gaza. "They didn't even declare that they seek to topple the Hamas government or put an end to the Resistance status," his eminence said. "They don't even dare to say that they aim at preventing resistance factions from launching rockets," his eminence noted, ridiculing the "rubber title" of "changing the situation in the ground."
"Israelis doubt their own ability to achieve the goals and this is complete failure," Sayyed Nasrallah stressed. He added that the Palestinian Resistance seems, in contrast, committed to victory. His eminence expected that the Resistance would triumph at the end given that time was not in Israel's interest, recalling that air raids could not settle the battle.
Sayyed Nasrallah uncovered an international plot to impose a humiliating settlement on Palestinians, saying that Hamas was the only obstacle for such a conspiracy. "They are preparing for an international conference to be attended by Americans, Israelis, Europeans and the so-called moderate Arabs in order to end the conflict and impose a humiliating settlement on Palestinians," his eminence asserted.
However, Sayyed Nasrallah expressed belief that the Palestinian Resistance was strong and would achieve victory just like the Resistance in Lebanon did in August 2006.
“Let’s go back to the first day of the operation and the scenario of war. It’s the same scenario of 2006. However in Lebanon, Allah had mercy on us and we managed to capture two Israeli soldiers on the 12th of July, otherwise the war was intended to begin in autumn of 2006 and it would have been similar to the war on Gaza. Gaza received assurances that there will not be an aggression on it, and suddenly within a matter of 3 minutes, 60 fighter jets and 20 helicopters drop more than 100 tons of explosives on the Strip.
A large number of martyr fell and this happens during wars, but what’s important is that the resistance absorbed the first strike and came out tenacious and solid. Colluding Arab states, and I insist on this, have told the Israeli not to take the same trend that they adopted in Lebanon, where they extended the war for 33 day and eventually failed. Those Arab states told Israel that they have to end the war in Gaza within a few days because they cannot tolerate daily demos and media pressure. It was supposed that the air strike would lead to the breakdown of Hamas and resistance factions and then the resistance would contact concerned Arab states to tell them: ‘we cant go on, find a way to fix the situation.’ This was the scenario. Moreover, when Israel’s agents in Gaza or some Arab states inform the Zionist entity that the resistance in the strip has collapsed, Israel kicks off its ground operation; this should have ended in a few days according to their scheme. But the resistance is still solid and strong.
You know that when one rocket or one hundred rockets fall on Israeli settlements, they have to follow strict procedures. There are elections in the few coming days. The Palestinian resistance has managed to force hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers into shelters and shut down universities and factories.
This Gaza, although deemed weak, is putting today 208 settlements and 635 thousands Israelis in the danger zone," his eminence said.
“There remains the ground operation. I can’t say whether Israel will launch a ground operation or not. Yet, it is clear until this moment that the Israelis are hesitant. The ground operation comes as elections are due in a few days. If they triumph in a ground battle, it’s for their benefit, but if they were defeated, it will result in a political set back for them. They will either win or loose; they are not sure of winning and they fear loosing, at least this is what they political and military analysts say. Indeed, the responsibility of any defeat will lie on the shoulders of Barack and Livni along with her Kadima party. And then Netanyahu will emerge to seize the moment and say: ‘if I were PM I would have succeeded and achieved this and that.’ Therefore, this is a true matter of concern for the Israeli, especially that a ground battle in Gaza, on the resistance level, does not need extraordinary capabilities and from what I know, the resistance there has the will and determination to confront the ground offensive. The Israelis have the right to be hesitant and worried when it comes to storming ito Gaza. When the ground operation begins, and the real confrontation begins, the Israeli fiasco will become clear and the voices of the Israelis will rise. Until this very moment, I can say that what is taking place in Gaza is similar to what had taken place in Lebanon in 2006. If resistance fighters persist as our fighters did, victory will be waiting for them. Time is not in Israel’s interest and the street is pressuring Israel and all colluding regimes. Because of resistance and steadfastness, because of rejecting compromises or surrender, the Gaza strip is already triumphing and Israel is witnessing defeat," Sayyed Nasrallah declared, calling on everyone to believe in the Palestinian Resistance and back it through all possible means. His eminence renewed his calls to the Arab regimes to support Gaza and the Egyptian government to open the Rafah crossing for Palestinians.
Sayyed Nasrallah recalled that a majority of Lebanese has assumed responsibility and fought against occupation until throwing it out. "This national sense of responsibility allowed the Resistance to persist and develop since 1985." The resistance leader renewed commitment to the choice of Resistance. "It's not that we want to have a Resistance or weapons, but it's our responsibility to be committed to the Resistance," his eminence said, recalling that Lebanese had two choices "to live with honor and dignity or with degradation, and if we choose dignity, then we’ll have responsibilities to assume."
Sayyed Nasrallah began his speech by focusing on the notion of "responsibility". He pointed that responsibility wasn't limited to a specific geographic surrounding or dimension. His eminence stressed that as human beings are given mind, freedom, choice and will; this means that they have responsibilities to shoulder.
Sayyed Nasrallah tackled the issue of "greenhouse effect," noting that it constitutes nowadays one of the toughest challenges within the international community. His eminence pointed to a role for the US administration or the "greatest Satan" in this field, stressing that the US crimes are not limited to invading Iraq and Afghanistan but extend to the environmental cause. "The US is, until today, refusing to engage into any agreement that would restrict the Greenhouse effect due to the American greediness and avarice," his eminence said. "No matter how many millions of people are killed, the important thing for the American administration is that US companies continue manufacturing and earn ill-gotten gains," Sayyed Nasrallah added, warning that such gains would lead one day to cause the biggest catastrophe for the American administration.
