She may at times be sarcastic. At other\ntimes serious. At all times, she will speak up her mind without any\nself-restriction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The text below comes from Mr. Nasrallah\u2019s own speech\nof today. The bold sentences are Bambi\u2019s replies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who do not know this, Mr. Nasrallah is the\nhead of the Hezbollah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This post ends with two screenshots of an article\npublished in <em>Naharnet<\/em> about Mr. Nasrallah\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWe welcomed President Macron&#8217;s role and the French initiative for helping\nLebanon, but not for him to become a prosecutor, a ruler or a custodian over\nus. We still support the French initiative but the rhetoric must be reviewed,\nbecause national dignity was insulted two days ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wow. So,\nMr. Nasrallah got triggered by Mr. Macron. Funny how the insult works only when\nit comes from France and not when it comes from Iran, its Master.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr.\nNasrallah, speak for your own \u201cdignity\u201d. Do not add the word national to it.\nNations belong to people. Not to thugs who pretend to speak in its name.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah\nto Macron: If you want to know who foiled your initiative, look for the Americans\nwho imposed sanctions and are threatening to impose more and look for King\nSalman\u2019s speech at the U.N. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bambi\ndoes not know the details behind the scenes to know if this is a piece of truth\nor a lie hidden in a statement. She only knows that people do not believe\nanyone of their political leaders, especially those from the war era like\nyourself, Mr. Nasrallah. Since she has been away from Lebanon for over 30\nyears, miles away behind sea and ocean, she can see matters more clearly than\nyou, especially that: (1) As a deer she is free by definition. She does not put\nanyone\u2019s fate in the hands of external powers like Iran and (2) She does not\nfeel scared because she is cornered like yourself. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nIran does not interfere in the Lebanese affairs and it does not make dictations\nand we in the Shiite duo [he means Amal movement and Hezbollah, from the Shiite\nor Shia Muslim sect] take the decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr.\nNasrallah, it is not because you state something as the truth that it is true.\nNo one believes you. So why do you keep lying? What\u2019s wrong, Mr. Nasrallah. You\nstopped being proud of being a proxy for Iran all of a sudden <\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><strong>? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Plus, what an inspiring duo, you and your peers from the Amal movement. Wow. Amazing. You do not burn or destroy tents of Lebanese students and civilians who were revolting against their government\u2019s systemic corruption\/banking fraud. You do not indulge in any corruption neither. You are not allied with a movement that steals like the rest of the political system. Plus, you do not hide weapons. &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWe still welcome the French initiative, but the approach that was followed last\nmonth cannot be continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is\nthis initiative? What approach are you talking about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWe do not accept that anyone addresses us with this language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WOW. Your\nwords will make Mr. Macron go hide in the ground floor of the <\/strong><strong>\u00c9lys\u00e9e Palace<\/strong><strong>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWe are not part of the corrupt political class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\nsay so\u2026 but just as reminder: \u201call of them means ALL of them!\u201d (slogan of the\nLebanese revolt of October 17, 2020).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah\nto Macron: A settlement is different than surrender. We do not practice the\ngame of terrorism and intimidation against anyone in Lebanon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ha!Ha!Ha!\nYou could have been a comedian, Mr. Nasrallah. Do you know that? Perhaps you\ncan change your vocation if you ever become unemployed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nIt was not us who chose war, the Zionists rather occupied our land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\nshould Bambi say to this? The Israelis sadly occupied your land indeed.\nHowever, their occupation ended in 2000. That was 20 years ago, Mr. Nasrallah.\nPerhaps you did not choose that initial occupation indeed. However, sadly you\nkeep choosing and re-choosing the rhetoric of war and the acts of violence over\nand over. You start wars or you provoke them or you indulge in them. Who pays\nthe price? The innocent people of your country <\/strong><strong>\u2639<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWe did not go to Syria to fight civilians. We went there at the invitation of\nthe Syrian government to fight terrorist groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Perhaps you are saying some truth here. You did not plan to fight civilians\u2026 but you supported a dictator who conveniently got rid of a large part of his civilians who escaped to Lebanon, to neighbouring countries, and to Europe in HUGE numbers. Perhaps you did combat some who are religious freaks (like you\u2026 but the other side of the coin). However, did you ask your government for the permission to go to war? You did it behind their backs when they were telling the whole world that they were being \u201cneutral\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah\nto Macron: Our enemies and friends know that we honor our pledges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How\ndignified. Amazing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah\nto Macron: What you are asking from us contradicts with democracy. You are\nasking the parliamentary majority to bow and cede power to the parliamentary\nminority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ha!Ha!Ha!\nSo Mr. Nasrallah is now giving lessons of democracy to the President of France.\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah\nto Macron: We did not say around the table that we would accept any government.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No clue\nwhat you said. Bambi does not care. It is your acts that matter the most. Not\nyour blahblahblah.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nPresident Macron, who accused us of intimidation, is the one who practiced the\nintimidation policy against the heads of parties in order to pass the\ngovernment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ha!Ha!Ha!\nSometimes in life it is better to laugh than to cry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWhat if a new government decides to sell the state&#8217;s assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if?\nIs this a threat? You sold people\u2019s souls after selling your own soul to the\ndevil whilst naming your party in the name of God. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWhat if a government accepts the conditions of the IMF without any discussions.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if?\nPeople want a government that will reform. People want impunity to end. People\ntrust the IMF more than they trust you and your peers (all the other\nmafia-club).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWe should be in the government to protect the back of the resistance, so that\nLebanon does not witness a government similar to the May 5, 2008 government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ha!Ha!Ha!\nyou said the truth here, the whole truth: <strong>\u201c<em>we should be in the government\nto protect the back of the resistance<\/em>\u201d. This is all what you care about:\nprotecting yourself. Period! You hide in the government and\/or behind the\nscenes. You do not want much exposure to avoid much sanctions and isolation.\nYou are taking Lebanon down with you. Don\u2019t you see that it is becoming not\njust Venezuela, not just Gaza\u2026 but worse than Somalia. When will you wake up\nMr. Nasrallah? When will you decide to put Lebanon FIRST?&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWe cannot stay out of the government because we fear for the country and its\npeople. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See, this\nis your dilemma. How to survive\u2026 How to manage when the American elections will\ntake place. When Iran will come to its senses (or knees?), Lebanon may find\nitself finally safe<\/strong> <strong>again.\nYou will remain part of its fabric but minus your military megalomania (proxy\nto Iran).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nThe coercion method does not work in Lebanon, regardless of its advocates and\nsponsors, be them the U.S., France or Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Only\ncoercion works with thugs or delinquents.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWhat was proposed last month was not a salvation government but rather a\ngovernment named by the club of ex-PMs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No clue about the details. The problem of Lebanon is being taken hostage between corruption (of all) and the hegemony of one group (yours\u2026 just to show that you are not isolated, you are now stressing your alliance with Mr. Berri).<\/strong> <strong>You are making it sound like it is about being Muslim Shia. It is not about sects or religion. It is about a philosophy of life. Yours is into a logic of war and destruction. People\u2019s logic is about life and love. They do not want to die. They want to live in dignity and prosperity. Why don\u2019t you get it?!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nThe French initiative does not mention the number of ministers nor the rotation\nof portfolios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shame on\nyou Mr. Nasrallah. This is not kindergarten where we distribute candies or\npieces of cakes. This is supposed to be the government of a country!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nSome wanted to eliminate the parliamentary blocs and the President\u2019s powers and\nthey sought to introduce new norms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No\ncomment. Bambi does not care neither about the powers of the President nor\nabout your own powers. This is about saving Lebanon from you!!! ALL of you!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nThe naming of ministers for all sects in Lebanon by a single person is\ndangerous for the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You are\nthe danger, Mr. Nasrallah. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nIt was not Adib who was negotiating with us over the government, but rather\nex-PM Saad Hariri, and the club of ex-PMs wanted to distribute the portfolios\nand name the ministers alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No, this\nMr. Adib may have been decent, who knows? He recognized that he was being used,\nmost likely by yourself. This is why he stepped down. How many more PM are you\ngoing to sacrifice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nAdib did not consult with President Aoun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No clue\nif he did or did not. He is doomed in either way. You made him fail (remember,\nyou are the proxy\u2026).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nThe French must know where they erred, especially as to eliminating the\nPresident&#8217;s most important remaining power, which is participation in the\nformation of governments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr.\nNasrallah, please give us a break. Stop the blahblahblah. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWe did not put any conditions when Mustafa Adib was nominated and did not make\nany prior agreement to show our intention to facilitate the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sure <\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><strong>. We all believe you. Very\nconvincing. Just like when you said you did not know anything about the port.\nSame like the explosion in the south of the country last week. We all believed\nyou. It was not related to your weapons. It was all about the same welders and\nthe same firework. Yay, all meant for festivals of love and fun in Lebanon!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nWe do not place missiles at Beirut port nor near a gas station and we know very\nwell where we should place our missiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How\nclever. Amazing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nHizbullah is not obliged to invite journalists to any site mentioned by\nNetanyahu, but we are doing this now due to the sensitivity of the situation\nafter the August 4 explosion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How\nsensitive. How noble. Amazing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah\non Netanyahu&#8217;s allegations: Hizbullah&#8217;s media relations department is calling\nmedia outlets to invite them to the site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How\ngenerous. How wise. Wow!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nThe Israeli enemy is maintaining the highest level of alertness on Lebanon&#8217;s\nborder and this is something good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bambi does not care about either you or them. ENOUGH of stupidity both of you!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah\nsaid Hizbullah still intends to retaliate to the killing of one of its fighters\nin Syria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sorry for the loss of life of this person. Bambi hopes it is not a youth you brainwashed to go to war \u2639. As for your logic of revenge and hate, so sad to see you a prisoner of your stupid ideology. You must be a sad man deep inside, Mr. Nasrallah. Why don\u2019t you learn to relax and just live life\u2026 while at it, can you let others also live their life!!!??<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah:\nThe armed groups in north Lebanon were plotting major military action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Perhaps\nso. Perhaps an external force is interfering there (Turkey? Other? Who knows?).\nThis is not your business Mr. Nasrallah. It is the Lebanese army\u2019s role that\nsadly saw two of its soldiers killed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah\noffered condolences to Kuwait over the death of Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed\nal-Sabah, saying the late leader played a &#8220;personal and major role&#8221;\nin ending Lebanon&#8217;s civil war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>May he\nrest in peace. Why don\u2019t you honour his memory by ending YOUR wars now? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrallah\nsaid security forces made major achievements against the extremist groups in\nthe North during the latest confrontations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why are you telling us this? To make the people think that you are the hero or the savour? In other terms, a needed force against any Islamism of the other side of the coin? This is not your role. This is the Lebanese army and Lebanese secret services role only. Do not take credit for their heroism. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/N1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6839\" width=\"476\" height=\"1245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/N1.jpg 330w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/N1-115x300.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 476px) 85vw, 476px\" \/><figcaption>Taken from <em>Naharnet<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/N2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6840\" width=\"520\" height=\"1256\"\/><figcaption>Taken from <em>Naharnet<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those who read this blog on a regular basis may recall that Bambi developed a little pleasure in life recently, namely the hobby of replying to Mr. Nasrallah\u2019s speeches.
