summary: Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that the western guarantees given in return to disarming the resistance are worthless.
Addressing hundreds of thousands of supporters on the 5th anniversary of the "Israeli" withdrawal from Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah warned that any hand that tries to remove the resistance weapons is an "Israeli" hand that must be cut off. However he stressed that Hizbullah is ready to internally negotiate the status of the resistance weapons.
His eminence revealed that former premier Rafik Hariri told him a week before his assassination that he wants to ally with the resistance stressing on the importance of protecting Lebanon from "Israeli" threats. Sayyed Nasrallah also warned against "Israeli" dangers surrounding the holy Aqsa mosque in occupied Palestine. He called all Muslims, Christians and all honest people to be always ready to defend it. His eminence also condemned the desecration of the holy Koran by US soldiers at the Guantanamo detention center in Cuba, and called for sits-in across Lebanon to pay homage for the Koran and condemn acts of desecrating it. He said, ""Israel" has the right to be proud that it was able to put the international community at a confrontation with those who defeated it in Lebanon. So instead of facing the resistance, "Israel" pushed the international community to face it, through resolution 1559. Listen to this paradox. In 1978 "Israeli" occupation forces invaded part of south Lebanon. The Security Council issued resolution 425. The international body did nothing to implement it. It did not threaten "Israel" to use chapter 7 of the UN convention which allows the Security Council to wage a military war. The body did not take any measure against "Israel" or impose sanctions. They wrote the resolution and put it on the shelf. For 22 years, the resolution was not implemented, and nothing was done to implement it at all. The one who forced "Israel" out of Lebanon is not the international body or the international will or "Israel's" manners and feeling of remorse. What forced it out are you, the resistance. The resistance of this people, its sacrifices, its blood and its martyrs. This is what defeated "Israel" and drove it out. And so the international community wants to convince us that "Israel" implemented resolution 425. In return, about 7 or 6 months ago, the Security Council issued resolution 1559 and since endorsing it, the international pressure on Lebanon and Syria began, to force them to implement the terms. In 7 months the most important term of resolution 1559 was implemented and in 22 years nothing was done to implement resolution 425, why? Because 425 targets "Israel", while 1559 is in "Israel's" interest. When the foreigners interfere in our country and mainly the Americans, what is their priority? What is their agenda? What are the goals? We should know in order to face it. The Americans are rushing Lebanese elections, regardless of the law. They want a government to be quickly formed. Why?
Because after forming the government they will demand it to implement new goals that serve "Israel's" interests. Yesterday, a senior US state department official said: "After the elections, Hizbullah must disarm or else after the elections, internal pressures on it will increase." The US official is threatening us with the increase of internal pressure, which means that they want the Lebanese to face each other for the sake of "Israel". We said more than once, we do not want to drag the region into war. Our policy is not to ignite a regional war. We want to defend our country and not to destroy it. And because we want to defend our country we will keep our weapons.
Discussing the issue is acceptable. But proposals are currently about removing and disarming the resistance. What I want to say is: the thought of disarming the resistance is madness. In Lebanon, we are the keenest over peace, stability and national unity. We don`t want to attack anyone and we did not.
We won`t allow anyone to attack Lebanon. But if anyone thinks of disarming the resistance, we will fight him like the martyrs in Karbala fought. Some say there might be a compromise, like collecting the resistance weapons -listen to this "good proposal"- and putting the weapons in arsenals. And if Lebanon was attacked, we open the arsenals and take the weapons and defend the country.
This is foolishness, they are fooling people. What is this? The importance of the resistance is not when its weapons are in arsenals. The importance is that the resistance is always prepared to use its weapons, mortars and rockets. This is the importance of the resistance."
