Hizbullah MP: Border Tour Misinterpreted, Resistance in Defensive Position
MP Ali Fayyad of Hizbullah's Loyalty to Resistance bloc announced Sunday that the controversial tour that his party organized Thursday for reporters on the Lebanese-Israeli border has been “deliberately misinterpreted” by some Lebanese parties.
“Some parties trying to stir disputes based on exaggerated interpretations and sometimes deliberate misinterpretation, especially that it is fully clear that the resistance is in a defensive position and that it is seeking to consolidate the state of stability in the South based on the equation of deterrence with the Israeli enemy,” Fayyad said.
Hizbullah's “steps are aimed at preserving the equation of deterrence and preventing the enemy from pushing for the corrosion of this equation,” the MP added.
He reassured that “preserving stability in Lebanon and calm and security in the southern towns is at the core of the resistance's policies and what it does is aimed at achieving these objectives and not the opposite.”
Fayyad noted that “there is a certain interest for everyone to refrain from aggravating any dispute that might affect the performance of institutions or the domestic situations.”
He also urged all parties to “take into consideration the explosive regional environment surrounding Lebanon, the reckless U.S. escalation policies, Israel's provocative practices and repeated threats, and the poisoned policies of incitement that are being practiced by some regional forces.”
Fayyad's remarks come three days after Prime Minister Saad Hariri criticized Hizbullah's border tour during a landmark visit to the South. Several other Lebanese parties have also slammed Hizbullah's move.
Hariri's visit to the South came a day after Hizbullah took a group of over 100 local and international journalists on a rare tour of the border with Israel that the party said was aimed at explaining the unprecedented Israeli defensive measures on the frontier.
Members of Hizbullah's armed wing stood guard on part of the tour, displaying weapons despite a prohibition stipulated by U.N. resolution 1701 on any armed paramilitary presence near the border.
Hariri said Friday that "what happened yesterday is something that we, as a government, are not concerned with and do not accept."
The premier, who was accompanied by the defense minister and army chief, said his trip was intended "to tell the Lebanese armed forces that they and only they are the legitimate force in charge of defending our borders."
There has been rising speculation about a new conflict between Hizbullah and Israel, who fought a 34-day war in 2006 that ended after the approval of Resolution 1701.
That conflict killed 1,200 people in Lebanon, mainly civilians, and 160 Israelis, mostly soldiers.

Hizbullah MP: Border Tour Misinterpreted, Resistance in Defensive Position

Only iranian resistance is a defensive one. Throughout history, resistance attacked enemy positions when the enemy occupied national territory. Shebaa farms are occupied ( you claim ) and what are you doing to defend/liberate them. All we see you iranians doing is taking 'defensive' positions in Syria, Iraq and Yemen and killing those you perceive are your real enemies.; of course in a defensive manner.

What can one say, another E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T comment. I particularly enjoyed the part where you said " sooner or later Palestine will be freed, it is inevitable "
Thank you for making this forum lovely, lively and vibrant.
Still laughing since January 2015 when you said the $3 billion Saudi grant was only to teach our soldiers the French language.
Thank you
Yours Sincerely

"resistance is by definition a defensive organization"
Mowaten I'm not a big poster here but I have been using this site for over 72 years and recently I have been liking your posts, your the only one atheist and secular shia informing these deluded ignorants.

It is the duty of the armed forces to defend and not your iranian resistance. The word 'resistance' in itself implies resisting and not defending. It is aggressive and not passive. Spare us your BS definitions ya troll.

Now the big question is, how come your Saudi King never made a Fatwa for Palestine?
How come no Saudi Sheikh ever made a fatwa for Jihad in Palestine in defense of the Sunnis their? You call yourselves the Arab world, where is your honor for Palestine?

Saudi Arabia and the Gulf are measly cowards, when America told the Gulf to sellout Saddam, Kuwait lowered the Oil prices to weaken Iraq.
The same Saddam era Iraq, that fought against Iran harder than any other Arab leader in the world did, yet you sold him out when America told you to, why?
This remains my biggest question for the so called "Arabs" here.

the iranian heretic says : "resistance is by definition a defensive organization"
so what is your terror militia doing in Syria?

SOS don't forget that Hezbollah also hijacked civilian airlines!!!! Read about it on Google, TWA 847, they executed civilians, none of them was Israel whatsoever. They're terrorists, nothing else can be said about them; the truth always hurts and that's why they resort to hiring -mowaten- with multiple screen names to spread propaganda and to divert people's attention from what they really are. And it seems to be effective, lots of people don't doubt political figures and follow them blindly. If it wasn't effective, they wouldn't hire such despicable people.

dont tell me you started believing your own propaganda.
Aounist MP Farid el-Khazen told emboff that Lebanon was in a “terrible situation,” and that he did not “see a way out.” He saw Hizballah’s kidnapping of Israeli soldiers as a “carbon copy” of what provoked the ongoing crisis in Gaza, and worried about the implications of Israeli retaliation. He was also furious at what he saw as Nasrallah’s lies at the national dialogue promising to keep the Blue Line quiet this summer.

they don't kill arabs but the ones who are working for the zionist cause, the terrorists such as Al- Qaeda, ISIS, Nusra, or the so-called fsa who never attack an Israeli site .... but dumb people like you can't see further their noses.
btw, only the Palstinians themselves can liberate Palestine, their country if only Bani Saud dedicate some of their wealth to support them insterad of working along with their cousin the zionists, the enemy.... so don't worry about the resistance it's doing its job already, just see the reaction of the enemy when they move near the border or get close to the Golan highs.

Through Hezbollah they attacked Israel.
so you admit you and your militia are tools for Syria and Iran and not a Lebanese resistance as you claim.

"btw, only the Palstinians themselves can liberate Palestine"... LOL
but your iranian leader says otherwise:
Mar 4, 2012 - In a televised speech Sunday, Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah said we are closer than ever before to the liberation of Jerusalem. ...
Nasrallah: Road to Jerusalem passes through Syria

"Nasrallah: Road to Jerusalem
passes through Syria" :Ñ
True, because if Syria falls under terrorists / Pro-Israeli control, then most roads would be closed to do such task.
btw, of course the resistance helps in doing such task, liberating Jerusalem... the same way liberating the town you reside, apart from Jerusalem.

The matter is simple. There can be NO MISINTERPRETATION,
1701 specifically states that no armed forces will be on the Lebanese side of the border other than the Lebanese Army. Yet Hizballah blatantly defy this ban.
23 April 2017, 19:53

and no Israeli violations of Lebanese territories or violation of its air space, the zionist entity blatantly defy this ban and on daily basis..... but the end of this illegal state called Israel is approaching.

The Lebanese iranian president said last month Hezbollah and the army are basically one and the same.

bw, the resistance can move wherever they want, it's their country and their towns and villages, now being armed or not it's not any of your business.

So if your neighbour stack up tons of explosives in his apartment where people smoke nargilieh and make barbeque, you are just gonna sit back and accept it because its his home?

Next time we all might die, and who cares?
Atleast Israel will suffer too, that's worth it.
You on the other hand, is a weasel, you stick your head up when America tells you to, but when it is for Palestine you dig yourselves down.
Hiding behind Israel and Trump, Saudi scum.
