Are they hiding? Bambi read that sometimes they use dummies to trick\nyou. Can you just stop both of you!! This is not a game. You may feel stuck and\ntheir PM may be in election mode. WE DO NOT WANT WAR. People want to live in security\nand in peace. Is this too much to ask for?!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We are not in a hurry to\nrespond to Israel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We do not care about neither you nor Israel. Just stop playing with fire! Your country does not need more tragedies!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We did not respond to the\nIsraeli shelling days ago because that was what the Israelis wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No comment. Who cares?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: The Israelis know that we\nare not seeking an achievement in the media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No comment. Who cares? Why are\nyou saying so and to whom?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Let the Israelis understand\nthat whenever they kill one of our mujahideen, we will kill one of their\nsoldiers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When will you stop playing risk\nlike that? When will you behave like a normal Lebanese fellow citizen? When\nwill write or read a book? When will you just pray or, at least, take a\nvacation from war? When will you let the Middle East live in peace?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Everything that has\nhappened since our brother&#8217;s martyrdom is part of the punishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Whenever Israel suspects\nany movement, it starts bombing the vicinity of its positions, and this\nreflects panic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We do not care about neither\nyour interpretation of Israel\u2019s tactic nor their own strategy. We want you both\nto stop!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Israel, on its own,\nmobilized its forces and upped its measures on the Lebanese and Syrian\nborders&#8230; It is now sending remote control vehicles carrying dummies to give\nus targets to hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No clue if this the truth or not. Bambi reads all international media, including those from your own organization as well as Israeli and Iranian media (some of the latter are too funny to read). Your version is different. In all honesty, she does not care about neither you nor Israel nor Iran. She is sick and tired of all of you! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah on Israel&#8217;s killing of Hizbullah\nmember in Syria: We&#8217;re committed to an equation and our objective is not\nrevenge but punishment and to establish a balance of deterrence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Give your fellow Lebanese\npeople a break, Mr. Nasrallah. A break from wars, revenges (whether your call\nthem punishment or not), sorrow\u2026 ENOUGH for God\u2019s sake. Yes, God\u2026 since you\ncall your organization \u201cthe party of God\u201d, as if God needed a militia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah described the Hizbullah-AMAL\nclash in the southern town of Loubieh as regrettable and isolated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stop using young people. Enough\nstupidity and sadness. &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We stress the depth of the relation\nbetween Hizbullah and the AMAL Movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thugs from different groups do\ncooperate sometimes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We must be cautious because\nthere is an attempt to reproduce Daesh in Iraq and Syria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Nasrallah, stop lying to people. Stop it, please. Anyhow,\nBambi does not care about neither you nor Daesh. Actually, she cannot stand\nneither you nor Daesh. Two sides of the same coin of Islamism (not Islam not\nMuslims\u2026 the latter being the first victims of this radicalism). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Now, this being said, she will pause here thinking of all the young Lebanese people from your own organization whom you took to war behind the back of your own government. MANY died sadly. May they rest in peace\u2026 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Claims that Hizbullah is\nlinked to the ammonium nitrate are lies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Once again, your statement of matters as being the truth\ndoes not make them necessarily THE truth. Lebanese people want an international\ninvestigation! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We call on the Lebanese\nArmy to declare the results of the probe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who are you to call on the\nLebanese Army to declare anything? Shouldn\u2019t this come from the Lebanese\nauthorities\u2026 or the masks are truly uncovered and the emperor naked then? How\nugly he is\u2026 OUF. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: I call on authorities to\ndeclare whether there were any missiles or weapons at the port. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>No comment\u2026 except that everyone knows who controls the port and who smuggles what at borders, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: I call on authorities to\ndeclare the results of the technical probe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We stress that the judiciary\nshould firmly follow up on the port blast. The blood of martyrs should not go\nin vain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DO NOT CALL THE VICTIMS MARTYRS, Mr. Nasrallah. They did not choose to die. They are the victims of the Lebanese authorities\u2019 criminal negligence (you are responsible for their misery as well if not even more so, Mr. Nasrallah). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lebanese people want an international investigation. Your \u201cchum\u201d, Lebanon\u2019s president (= you then) does not want one. How can the Lebanese people trust the investigation you are referring to? Look what happened to them with the UN-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon\u2026 This is not promising for the current investigation. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Compensations should be\npaid to the people so that they can return to their homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which homes, Mr. Nasrallah? What about those in their homes who have it destroyed and who keep discovering more broken items each day, like Bambi&#8217;s parents?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why would people believe the\nauthorities on this issue, if they lie to them on so many other issues,\nincluding their stolen savings and ammonium nitrate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Had the presidents of Iran\nor Syria called for a new political contract in Lebanon, would [would] have\nhappened? There is a problem in the Lebanese political culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To use your logic, the\nPresidents of Iran and Syria do not have to call for anything. They have a puppet\nthat executes their wills. They can use their saliva for other matters. &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Luckily Lebanon has friends in\nthe international community, including France and Canada, etc. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You know very well how small\nyour country is. When you are a small vulnerable entity, your interests are\nbetter served by being plus or minus at equal distance with all. This is easy\nto achieve when we put Lebanon FIRST.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Years ago, I mentioned a\nconstituent assembly to improve the Taef Accord and we remember the reactions\nthat occurred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bambi does not recall this part of history. She has left\nthe country in 1990. She just reads and understands that Taef Accord was never\nimplemented as it should. So who knows? Perhaps you have a point here. Lebanon\ndoes not respect neither its constitution nor the Taef Accord nor its own\npeople!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: The French president called\nfor a new political contract in Lebanon during his recent visit&#8230; We are open\nto any calm discussions in this regard, but we have a condition, that the\ndiscussions should enjoy the consensus of all components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ha! Ha! Ha! Your last sentence says it all\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Who says that the Lebanese\npeople want a neutral, technocrat or political government? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does this sentence mean, Mr. Nasrallah? To whom are you addressing it specifically, to Mr. Macron re-visiting Lebanon tomorrow or to the majority of the Lebanese people who cannot stand your hegemony on their lives anymore? Are you saying this to all those who lost loved ones or those who are still sleeping in destroyed homes without glasses? Are you saying it to ALL of those who are sick and tired of wars and unrest? Why are you making fun of people\u2019s demands, young and seniors, secular and spiritual, etc.?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We can claim that we are\nthe biggest political party in Lebanon with the biggest number of supporters,\nbut we do not claim that we represent the entire Lebanese people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ha!Ha!Ha! You barely represent yourself, along with a few\nilluminated supporters or those who benefit from you in one way or the other. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Are protests and street\npresence the criterion for reflecting popular demands? Shall we organize a\nreferendum? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oh, now you are an expert of democracy, Mr. Nasrallah? You forgot your real mission: Terrorizing people? Shame on you ?.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: International calls for\nmeeting the demands of the Lebanese people are excellent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you being hypocritical here, Mr. Nasrallah? Or just\nstating the obvious. Are we talking like the President of Lebanon now? Why are\nyou saying all this and who is your audience?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We will cooperate to pull\nthe country out of any governmental vacuum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vacuum or not, government or caretaker government, you are\nbehind the scenes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sorry to be impolite: Same old \u201cshit\u201d still<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We hope parliamentary blocs will be able to name a\npremier-designate tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What difference does it\/will it make, Mr. Nasrallah?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: Claims that Hizbullah is\nimpeding reforms are lies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Ha!Ha!Ha! Just by you\nsaying it proves that it is true. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We are pinning hope on the\ncoming hours. We need a government that can achieve reforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lebanon needs a government free\nof all its corrupt people from the era of war. \u201c<em>All of them means all of them\u201d\n<\/em>is the clever slogan of the people\u2019s revolt (remember, you and your puppets,\nlike the President et al., are also part of them). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Now to be more realistic,\nLebanon cannot get rid of anyone right now. It has to wait for elections. These\nneed to happen as soon as realistically possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah on Netanyahu&#8217;s stance\nrejecting the sale of F-35s to the UAE: Israel does not trust the UAE or any\nother nation in the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No clue what you are talking about.\nNone of Bambi\u2019s business.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah on UAE-Israeli deal: Any\nsuch agreement is treason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In Qu\u00e9bec, they say to a young kid too curious about others:\n\u201c<em>R\u00e9p\u00e8te apr\u00e8s moi: De quoi je me m\u00eale<\/em>?\u201d Bambi will say the same to you,\nMr. Nasrallah.

This is none\nof my business\u2026 etc.<\/em>\u201d <\/strong><strong>?.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We condemn all attempts to\nacknowledge Israel and all forms of normalization with this enemy. We renew our\ncondemnation of the stance of the officials in the UAE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is between two other sovereign countries is neither\nyour business nor Iran\u2019s business. It is their choice (if they really have the\nchoice with Iran next door). The latter\u2019s expertise being war by proxy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: The same as we triumphed\nover the past years, the same as those in Yemen, Syria and Iran have triumphed,\nwe believe that there will be coming victories in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you telling us that there will be wars? Are you\nthreatening here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: The U.S. is interfering in\nIraq and imposing a siege on Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is Iran interfering in Iraq, Mr. Nasrallah? Are your organization\nmembers there too? Bambi has read about an Iraqi\u2019s Hezbollah, of course also funded\nby the poor Iranian people\u2019s taxes. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It is sad that, no matter the strategy of the USA, the Iranian people seem to pay the price, not their horrible regime. Once the latter pays a price (or negotiates with the USA), Lebanon will be free of your grasp on it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: The U.S. is imposing an\nunjust siege on Syria and occupying Syrian territory. The U.S. backs tyrant\nregimes in our region, such as in Bahrain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ha!Ha!Ha! Bambi does not follow all the details of the\nSyrian war\u2026 but you seem to have forgotten that you back Iran and Syria\u2019s\nBachar el Assad. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: There is a U.S. aggression\nagainst our region, manifested in the U.S. policies towards occupied Palestine\nand the war in Yemen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The USA have bigger concerns than\nyour Middle East.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: The U.S. administration\nwants to practice hegemony and impose governments on peoples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It is not because you are saying it as a truth that it is the truth (or the whole truth). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: We in Hizbullah, in the\nIslamic resistance in Lebanon, stress our firm commitment to rejecting this\nusurping entity (Israel), even if the entire world acknowledges its existence.\nWe will continue to stand by anyone who fights it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Nasrallah, regardless of the\ntopic (here it is about Israel), you do not speak for all Muslims in Lebanon\nand surely for not ALL Lebanese (18 different religions and many who are\natheists). Just keep this in mind. What do you mean by \u201cwe will continue to\nstand by anyone who fights it?\u201d Are you reassuring your fellow Lebanese citizens\nthat you will keep betraying their aspirations and country\u2019s interests by\nputting Iran first?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is your message meant for the Lebanese\nor for the international community, especially at the eve of Mr. Macron\u2019s re-visit\nto Beirut? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you playing bad cop\/good cop\nwith Mr. Aoun (Lebanon\u2019s President). He is showing his good cop side (secular\ncountry needed, he is saying) and you, as usual, the bad one. You are using terms\nlike \u201cIslamic resistance\u201d. Not just Muslim, Islamic. Not just Lebanese, not\ncivil, not human\u2026 Islamic. How would you and the President of Lebanon reconcile\nthese two visions of your country? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thoughts? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By the way, when will you stop\ntaking your country hostage of your narrow-minded yet megalomanic vision (or\nrather Iran\u2019s vision and you are the tool)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: I will tackle the regional\nsituation, the Lebanese situation and the situation on the border. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OK, all ears (or rather eyes).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah: This year, the Ashura day\nis sadder, because the squares are empty due to coronavirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With all due respect to all religious celebrations in life, Ashura is not Bambi\u2019s favourite one.
