Speech of the Secretary-General of Hizbullah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on the occasion of the Eid (Festival) of the Resistance and Liberation (Eid Muqawamah wat-Tahrir). May 25, 2021. This speech was delivered in the aftermath of the 11 Day aggression by the Zionist Entity on Palestine and the ongoing terrorism of the Zionists across all of Palestine (1948 Palestine, all of Palestine). Key points from Sayyed\'s speech follow: speech started Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah apologizing for being away since Quds Day due to a health condition (heavy cough mostly that prevented them from the ability to speak well) Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: I was closely following every detail with our brothers in Gaza despite not speaking on the events publicly. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The victory of Gaza multiplied our joy on this \"eid\" and gave us a new eid during this month. I congratulate and send my condolences to the martyrs and pray for a speedy recovery for those injured. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah congratulating the Lebanese people on the occasion of the anniversary of the liberation of South Lebanon: This victory was of Allah\'s blessings upon and a result of the great sacrifices made by the people and Resistance. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: I cannot but also mention our martyred leaders who paved the way for this liberation: Sayyed Abbass al-Mousawi and his wife and their son, Sheikh Ragheb Harb, Haj Imad Moghnieh, Haj Mustafa Badreddine... Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: I must also mention the honourable official Lebanese stance of the president back then, Emile Lahoud, PM, Salim Hoss, and head of parliament, Nabih Berri. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: On the 25th of May, 2000, I spoke in the name of the Resistance from Bent Jbeil, and that day, we gifted this victory to Palestine, all of Palestine, for it is the final and ultimate goal we aim to reach. S #Nasrallah: on recent events: the Zionists\' aggression in Sheikh Jarrah aims to remove any Palestinian presence from al-Quds. They were preventing worshipers from reaching al-Aqsa & attacking those who get there. This is what led the Palestinian Resistance to take their stance. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: We must keep in mind that we are not facing a sane enemy. This enemy is not only arrogant but also a failure. This brings to mind Imam Khomeini\'s words, \"Thanks be to God for making our enemy foolish.\" Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Their arrogance is what causes them to misinterpret and miscalculate every event and not take the necessary measures. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The enemy was not expecting Gaza to intrude and get involved in what was happening in al-Quds, but this time, Gaza was the defender of al-Quds, and they fulfilled their responsibility to the fullest. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: I have an important message to the Zionists: whoever is on the head of your army, you must reevaluate your interpretations and readings [of events]. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: What the Zionists need to understand is that the battle of the Sword of al-Quds will not be limited to the borders of Gaza. S #Nasrallah: Attacking al-Quds will lead to a regional war. The Axis of Resistance cannot & will not sit still at the sight of threatening our sanctities. Any serious threat will lead to a war against the Zionist entity which will lead to its demise & remove it from existence. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The victory in Palestine brought along with it many victories: the people of Palestine were united under a single identity, faith in the Resistance was restored, the false claims of the normalizers were exposed, the Palestinian cause was revived... Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The real, ruthless, child-murdering face of Israel was exposed again to the world. They might have control over several media outlets, but it was clear that they cannot control social media platforms around the world. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The Sword of al-Quds battle also redirected the compass of all the free people of the world towards Palestine. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The Palestinian Resistance showed great strength during this battle. They had the ability to continuously shoot missiles across the span of 11 days non-stop despite the Zionist air force attacks, spy drones, and ground attacks from the border with Gaza. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Even them specifying the time of the attack had its psychological impact. They shot missiles of different ranges and in great numbers and the enemy could not hide its casualties. S #Nasrallah: The people of the Resistance Axis should know this well: the Zionist entity cannot exist without a state of security and tranquillity. The settlers are ready to leave the entity upon any threat to their safety, whereas the Palestinians refuse to give up their land. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The false image of the safe and secure Zionist entity was exposed to the world as a result of this battle. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Show me any statements made by any Zionist official about the benefits the entity gained as a result of this battle; there are none. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Despite the Zionists had the strongest air force in the region, every time the Resistance announced and shot their missiles and the Zionist air force would get to work, they still failed to combat the Palestinian missiles as expected. Sayyed #Nasrallah: Some Zionist officials claimed the efficiency of the Iron Dome reached 90%, but by comparing the number of damaged buildings in the entity to the number announced by the Zionists of missiles shot from Gaza, we would find that this percentage is inaccurate. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: If this percentage were accurate, we would have seen Netanyahu bragging about it and promoting it to thr world. This also proves that this number is nothing but a misleading lie. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The Zionist army failed to destroy the reserves of Palestinian missiles. Kochavi talks a lot about manoeuvres and the importance of ground invasions, but his army failed to counter Palestinian-made missiles. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Back in Lebanon, I want to reassure everyone that the Lebanese Resistance is as strong as ever. 21 years after the liberation, our capabilities have only increased in quality and quantity. Sayyed #Nasrallah: We must not forget our martyrs on this occasion, martyr Ali Mohsen, and martyr Mohammad Tahan who represents the young generation who is eager to enter al-Quds and fights with their bare chests. I send condolences and congratulations to his honourable family. S #Nasrallah: No one should wait for any external intruders to save Lebanon. The responsibility falls upon the president & designate PM, otherwise the head of parliament Berri should intrude to help save the country. If this doesn\'t happen, everyone will watch our country collapse. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The stance and support of people from around the world from different races and religions are not to be overlooked. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: To Sayyed al-Houthi: Our Sayyed, you are besieged, do you have bread yourselves for you to give to the Palestinians? When there are other Arabs who have endless resources, you were the ones who offered aid. The Yemeni stance is a truly honourable one. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Sayyed Sistani\'s statement on Palestine should be read by everyone. The Resistance Axis, led by Imam Khamenei, remains firm and is the first supporter of Palestine. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah remembering Haj Qassem Soleimani: He spent over 20 years in our region. He arrived here with not a single white hair on his head and left it with a head full of white hair, and a white face (Arabic saying meaning bright/honoured/successful/blessed...) end

Description:

Hezbollah’s secretary-general says the United Arab Emirates (UAE)’s move earlier this month to normalize relations with Israel was a “free-of-charge service” provided by Abu Dhabi to the politically-embattled officials in Israel and the United States. “The Emirates’ move was service given free of charge to Donald Trump, the president of the United States, and Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Zionist regime,” Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said during his annual address marking Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of the third Shia Imam, Imam Hussein (PBUH). Trump announced on August 13, 2020 that the UAE and Israel had agreed to normalize ties. The agreement was met with uniform condemnation on the Arab street. It came in the middle of near-daily mass rallies by Israeli people demanding Netanyahu’s resignation over corruption and incompetence. It also coincided with widespread unrest in the United States over racial discrimination and brutality by police. When the deal was announced, Israel was openly speaking of plans to annex the occupied West Bank and the Jordan Valley. Emirati officials claimed Tel Aviv had agreed to suspend those plans in return for the normalization of ties. But shortly after the deal was made public, Netanyahu denied that those plans had been frozen. Nasrallah said Netanyahu did not bother to help save the face of Emirati officials, coming out quickly to deny the suspension of the annexation plans. Netanyahu, Nasrallah added, also belied an Emirati claim that Tel Aviv would provide Abu Dhabi with drones as part of the deal. Hezbollah ‘will never recognize Israel, victory matter of time’ Nasrallah said any attempt toward the recognition of the Israeli regime by any party was condemned. He reasserted Hezbollah’s position of never recognizing the Israeli regime. The Hezbollah chief said the resistance front’s victory was “only a matter of time.” ‘Saudi Arabia, UAE only US instruments in Yemen war’ Nasrallah called the Saudi-led war on Yemen an essentially “US-led” war. He said Washington was only using Saudi Arabia and the UAE as “instruments” in the war, which has killed tens of thousands of Yemenis and pushed Yemen close to the brink of famine. Meanwhile, in another speech on Saturday, Hezbollah’s secretary-general said Arab and Western embassies in Lebanon were spending “millions” of dollars on a media war targeting the Lebanese resistance movement. The foreign embassies pay the hefty sums to “media outlets to target Hezbollah by spreading false news and lies,” Lebanese news website al-Ahed quoted Nasrallah as saying. “They are paying money in exchange for spewing venom,” Nasrallah said. “They have gone beyond the realms of lying, [going as far as] provocation, insults, and slurs against Hezbollah.” He said the smear campaign of such proportions against the group was unprecedented. The Hezbollah chief said the media war was being directed from a command center that sometimes fed the same misinformation to all of its subsidiary news outlets. Hezbollah has resisted pressure targeting Lebanon by Israel and its biggest ally, the United States. In the 2000s, it forced the Israeli military to retreat during two wars on Lebanon. Nasrallah said the propaganda campaign was aimed at demoralizing the group and making it abandon the causes for which it has been making many sacrifices. He said, however, that “neither intimidation nor murder can scare us.” https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2020/08/30/632902/Lebanon-Hezbollah-Nasrallah-media-war-Arab-Western-embassies

Important points of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah Speech 14-08-2020 Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The Resistance in Lebanon is not a complementary element to existence, it is the one crucial element of our existence and protection. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: I will speak about the new peace treaty between the UAE and israel. There has also been talk of links israel has had to the explosion in Lebanon. I will tackle this then speak on domestic issues in Lebanon. Sayyed #Nasrallah: The Zionists targeted a Hezbollah personality in Syria, martyr, Ali Kamal Mohsen. This is part of our \"punishment\" for aiding in Syria. This has left them waiting on the border on a leg and a half. I tell them to keep waiting. Our strategy has not changed. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: What the UAE has done is considered an election promotion for Trump and Netanyahu. Those 2 are losing their popularity. Netanyahu awaits his lawsuit on corruption... Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: We should not be surprised if more countries sign such treaties. Trump will milk those countries of their honor and dignity for the sake of his troubled friend, Netanyahu, the same way he milked them of their money before. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Those countries will do anything to please America, and America says, \"Please israel and we are satisfied.\" Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: This act is strongly condemned. It is a betrayal to Islam and Arabism. But I tell the Palestinians and the people of the Resistance not to feel distraught, for those hypocrites need to be exposed. \"Lest you hate a thing when it is good for you.\" Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: There were several theories on the causes of the Beirut explosion. One being that it was a planned attack, and the other being that it was a result of negligence and irresponsibility. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Many theories were raised, but the mere fact of leaving fireworks and other flammable material in this manner is negligence, but also a crime! Sayyed #Nasrallah: Many were quick to blame Hezbollah and accuse us of knowing that israel was planning this. They claimed that we knew and that we would not respond had this been an attack. Hezbollah would not leave an attack on a single person, let alone an attack this enormous Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: If israel really was behind this incident, then the participation of the FBI in the investigations will be for the sake of covering up any evidence against israel. We are Lebanese too, and we do not trust the FBI. The Lebanese people need answers. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: If this was a planned attack, whoever planned it was not betting on the attack itself, but on its outcome. There was a huge campaign aiming to overthrow the entire system. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: At the time the Lebanese people needed every bit of help they could get, the media immediately took advantage of the situation to feed their agendas, push for a civil war, overthrow the presidency, parliament, and entire system. Sayyed #Nasrallah: There were certain political groups in Lebanon, serving foreign agendas, who working hard on igniting strife. They cannot expect someone with a history like president Aoun, who did not surrender before threats of getting his house bombed, to simply surrender now. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: I have to thank PM Hassan Diab and every minister in his council who agreed on taking on the responsibility despite all the odds and remaining firm despite all the obstacles. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The coming government should be supported by all political parties. Its priorities should be reform, rebuilding after the port explosion, electricity, environment, public schools, the economic crisis... Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The government should insist on the investigations in the port explosion. This government cannot be a neutral one. All of us understand the reality of the Lebanese society. We do not believe in the existence of a neutral individual in Lebanon. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Anyone calling for a neutral government is only trying to waste time. We all know what works and doesn\'t work in the country. Anyways, I am only putting this out there for the people to know. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Those (members of parliament) who resigned during those difficult times dared to throw accusations at the ones who chose to still carry their responsibilities. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: If you want to abandon your responsibilities, quit politics. You cannot weasel out now and abandon your responsibilities when it is your policies that led the country to its current situation. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: There was a huge campaign targeted at the people of the Resistance. I tell you all to remain patient. Remain furious, but remain patient, for we might need this rage one day. Sayyed #Nasrallah: On the 18th, the ICJ will issue its judgment (on the Rafiq Hariri assassination case). We do not acknowledge this court & if they were to blame any of our personnel, we will back them up because we insist of their innocence. We need to remain patient at those times. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: At the end, I want to stress on the importance of abiding by all the necessary measures and instructions that have to do with the coronavirus. The situation is getting worse and our hospitals cannot withstand the pressure. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: We never know what might happen in the future or what new events might occur in the Zionist entity. Some would claim that Hezbollah is worried or perplexed. We are calm, collected, and certain of everything. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah speaking of the nature of the Ashura commemoration, avoiding gatherings, and ensuring social distancing. End

Description:

📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] has a vital miracle that will remain until the day of resurrection, which is witnessed in all times; it is the holy book that Allah has sent him, the Holy Quran. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The survival of this holy book in this accurate manner is a miracle in itself despite all reasons to distort it. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The most notable achievement of Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] is the humanitarian achievement he made in the deep and huge transformation of the Arabian Peninsula community. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: All Muslims respect, sanctify, and appreciate this great prophet unlike any other human, though they love and appreciate all other prophets. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Among the most important social points for Muslims is that they believe in the rank and the greatness of Prophet Muhammad [PBUH], and they view him as the most complete human and the closest creature to Allah the almighty. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Muslims could never tolerate any insult or humiliation directed at the great prophet, and they consider defending the dignity of their prophet among the top priorities that is above all other interests and calculations. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The Nice incident is strongly condemned and rejected by Islam, the religion that forbids killing or attacking civilians. All similar attacks are rejected in the first place from Islam\'s viewpoint. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Neither the French authorities nor others are permitted to hold responsible the religion or the community of the religion to which the perpetrator belongs. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: If a Christian man commits such a crime, which happened indeed in France, is it right to say that all world\'s Christians are responsible for this crime? 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The US today commits crimes all over the world, and they admit the killing of thousands in such wars. Did any Muslim accuse Christians of those crimes just because the US President is Christian? 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Respecting Islam as a religion requires not using the terms of \"Islamic terrorism\" and \"Islamic fascism\" 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: If some Muslims offended Islam it doesn\'t give the right to any other side to offend it too. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The Takfiri terrorist ideology, which adopted killing just for ideological differences in our region, was protected by the West. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The West has, in the first place, to look for its responsibility for Takfiri groups. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The US administration and the European governments supported and funded Takfiri groups in Syria and Iraq. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] and the Muslim nation have nothing to do with the crimes committed by the Takfiri groups. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The Americans and the Europeans should reassess their behavior of using terrorists as tools in their political schemes and wars. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Using such kind of tools must stop, otherwise you [the US and the West] will pay the prices for those mistakes. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The crisis began when the French magazine published cartoons insulting Prophet Muhammad [PBUH], & the French authorities, instead of dealing with the issue, started a war of this kind & insisted to continue publishing such sarcastic cartoons. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Instead of dealing with the repercussions, the French authorities should deal with the reasons. We have many evidences that they suppressed the freedom of expression in less sensitive issues that insulting the Prophet. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Instead of dealing with the repercussions, the French authorities should deal with the reasons. We have many evidences that they suppressed the freedom of expression in less sensitive issues that insulting the Prophet. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Freedom of expression in France and Europe is not absolute, it is rather restricted with security and political considerations. When it comes to \'Israel\', this freedom stops in France, and the examples are many. Why does it stop when it comes to anti-Semitism? 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: We demand reassessing the concept of the freedom of expression, especially when it harms dignities. The French authorities should deal with this grave mistake. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah addressing French authorities: Do not allow the progress of this aggression, violation and sarcasm. Offending the dignities of our Prophets is not accepted by any Muslim in the world. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The Arab regimes that normalize with \'Israel\' can not remain silent and cover such offense against the sacred prophet for their people. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah to the French authorities: You will lose this battle that you insist to continue. Where are France\'s interests in its relations with the Muslim world if it wants to continue in this situation? 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The responsibility for dealing with what happened in France is related to the French authorities\' performance. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah hailed the strong significances of the Yemenis\' presence in defending the Prophet [PBUH] despite all difficulties: Despite the siege and war in Yemen, we find the Yemeni people assemble to celebrate the Prophet\'s birth anniversary. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: Muslims and the world should read yesterday\'s scene in Yemen with fidelity and religious background. And a major movement must be formed in the Arab world to press for ending this brutal war against Yemen. It is the least of our duties. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: The most significant thing Muslims would present today to Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] is to support the Yemeni people. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: We can not continue with a caretaker government. Hezbollah\'s information say that the cabinet formation circumstances are good and acceptable. We will cooperate and facilitate the formation. Time now is not for internal problems. 📌 Sayyed Nasrallah: I repeat and recall that leniency in the battle with the Coronavirus is unethical, inhumane and illegitimate. The responsibility for fighting the Coronavirus belongs to everybody; the government and people, not the Health Ministry alone.

Nasrallah: Operation underway to revive Daesh, justify US role in Mideast Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement warns about an operation underway to revive Daesh’s presence in the Middle East in order to whip up an excuse for the United States’ continued presence in the region under the guise of fighting the Takfiri terrorist group. “There exists an operation for revival of Daesh in Iraq and Syria and other areas. Daesh’s revival is aimed at justifying the American forces’ continued presence in the region,” said Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in a televised speech on Tuesday. Nasrallah, therefore, urged caution and alertness against the plots targeting the region. Nasrallah said the Takfiri group had managed to rear its head in some regional areas following the US’s assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, former commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), in Baghdad in January. The US began leading a coalition of its allies in Iraq and Syria in 2014 following the emergence there of the terrorist outfit that Washington itself is widely accused of creating and supporting. The coalition that featured scores of countries was, however, making suspiciously slow progress against the Takfiris. Iraq and Syria eventually defeated Daesh in late 2017, with military advisory support under the auspices of General Soleimani proving indispensable to their victory. The US-led coalition has, however, sustained its presence to date, despite Washington’s occasional claims that it seeks to withdraw its forces. Elsewhere in his remarks, the Hezbollah chief addressed recent remarks to the United Nations Security Council by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the alleged location where the resistance movement supposedly stores its missiles. Nasrallah asserted that his movement did not store the projectiles in residential areas and invited all media outlets to inspect the location that has been singled out by the Israeli premier. He, meanwhile, noted that the Israeli forces were on alert near Lebanon’s borders, fearing Hezbollah’s reprisal for Tel Aviv’s assassination of one of the movement’s members in Syria earlier in the year. Nasrallah said this was the highest level of alert that the occupying regime was experiencing since 1948, when it began claiming existence. Nasrallah addressed French President Emanuel Macron’s intervention in Lebanon’s politics since the huge ammonium nitrate explosion that killed at least 190 people in the capital Beirut’s port in August. He pointed to the French head of state’s allegation against Tehran of intervention in Lebanon\'s internal affairs, saying, “Iran is not like France, and does not interfere in Lebanon’s affairs.” The Hezbollah secretary-general also offered his condolences over the earlier demise of Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah. He hailed the late ruler’s efforts towards cessation of Lebanon’s 1975-1990 civil war, Kuwait City’s position under him during Israel’s 2006 war on Lebanon, and the emir’s efforts towards the country\'s reconstruction after the latter warfare.
