S. Nasrallah: EU Decision Means Involvement in any Israeli Aggression

Hezbollah Secretary General said on Wednesday that the latest EU decision regarding Hezbollah will only doom to failure, advising the European states to soak their paper in water and drink it

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said on Wednesday that the latest EU decision regarding Hezbollah will only doom to failure, advising the European states to soak their paper in water and drink it, for the Resistance will remain vital and victorious by the will of Allah Almighty.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan NasrallahDuring his speech at the annual Iftar ceremony held by the Women's Committee of Islamic Resistance Support Association of Hezbollah, Sayyed Nasrallah noted that the resistance has its own presence and influence in the regional equations, and has been always a concern at the Lebanese, Arab, regional and international levels, whether positively or negatively.

"A positive interest from those who believe in the resistance, pin their hopes on it and consider it to be a source of pride, and negative interest from those who consider it a source of threat for their occupation and hegemony," he said.

His eminence indicated that the Resistance is not on the margin and there is always attempts to eliminate and crush it, whether militarily, politically, morally or culturally, expressing beliefs that such decisions have no more than psychological effects.

"The  most important for the Lebanese Resistance is to get the support of its people and to express their will, pride and view in defending their land and their sovereignty."

Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that "Resistance has gained credibility among people in Lebanon and the Arab and Islamic world and in many places of the world due to its sacrifices and steadfastness because it did not back down, retreat or get defeated and also due to its achievements and field victories."

"Resistance has changed the game rules and dropped projects and liberated captives, dignity and sovereignty of Lebanon. It also imposed a leading position for Lebanon in the region and will remain a solid fork in the eye of the Zionists and those who want Lebanon to get worse," his eminence added.

Touching on the EU member-states' decision that blacklisted what they dubbed 'the military wing' of Hezbollah, Sayyed Nasrallah said that the decision has been announced in the media without issuing a formal statement to unfold its motives, evidence and logic.

His eminence noted that the EU official statement will be issued within days, and the party will see then whether it will hold any argument or logic to be discussed, pointing out that the historical course of the European states confirms that their stance is not subjected to any values.

Thanking all presidents, leaders, personalities and institutions that rejected the EU decision and condemned it, his eminence stated that the party wasn't surprised by the decision but the leadership has expected it since the previous period.

Iftar 2013Hezbollah Secretary General went on to say that the Zionists have expressed that the decision was the result of diplomatic efforts they exerted, recommending some of those who rejoiced in Lebanon to hide their joy a little bit so they wouldn't express the same state of happiness as the Israelis.

Sayyed Nasrallah reiterated that the EU countries have insulted themselves and their principles, interests and sovereignty when they submitted to the Israelis and Americans, stating that "EU countries should know they are giving legal cover for Israel to launch any war on Lebanon because Israel can claim it is waging war on the terrorists."

"These countries make themselves a full partner in the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, on the Resistance and on any target for the resistance in Lebanon."

The Lebanese Resistance leader asked why the military wing of Israeli army wouldn't be put on the list of terror? While the EU "repeatedly admits that Israel occupies Arab land and does not implement international resolutions since tens of years, and the whole world witnessed the Israeli massacres."

He also voiced that the EU stance is subjected to the interests and pressures, not to the values and principles, where its effects are nothing more than psychological.

"In this country, resistance fighters fought the Israeli occupation and have endured a lot of pressure and sacrificed martyrs. Then you come to those who are the sons of this people and say they are terrorists. This is a very bad abuse for the fighters, for their people, and for their successive governments that were supporting the Resistance by their ministerial statements," he said.

"This is bad for Lebanon and the Lebanese government and people and not only for Resistance fighters," he added, stressing that "this will not undermine our morale."

Addressing the European states, Sayyed Nasrallah said: "We are nationalists even in holidays. You can retake the visas you were granting for us. We do not have money in Europe. We do not have commercial or trade projects in Lebanon or abroad. therefore, this decision has no effects in this regard."

"Yesterday,  European delegates in Lebanon tried to say that the decision will not affect relations with Lebanon," recalling that some in the March 14 bloc are working to frustrate the people and descend walls on their hopes.

"This decision aims at making us bow, to force us to step back and to be afraid. But I tell you that all you will get is failure and frustration," his eminence told the European Union.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan NasrallahIn the same context, Hezbollah Secretary General said that those who think that the resistance, which confronted in such days the strongest army in the region over 33 days, will be undermined by a silly decision is either will be subjugated by this decision are either delusional or ignorant.

"This decision will not be able to achieve any of its goals and we invite them (EU states) to correct this mistake because it will not lead to result," he stressed.

"Dip it (the decision) in water and drink it," he added to the EU.

Touching on the local situation, Sayyed Nasrallah said that the other camp in Lebanon will not be able to exploit the decision in their domestic political calculations, or to isolate the party and form a cabinet without it.

"A government without Hezbollah will not be formed, not because we are eager for it but for other things."

His eminence jokingly suggested that Hezbollah's ministers in the next government will be of the military wing of the party. "So do not bet on exploiting the decision internally," he told the Lebanese political rivals.

"We call for the formation of a political government that preserve Lebanon and play in the heart of the storms moving around us."

"Resistance will remain and will be victorious by God's Will," Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah concluded.
