Nasrallah to LF: Be Polite because Hizbullah Has 100,000 Fighters
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday reassured Lebanon’s Christians that his group is not a “threat” to them, as he accused the rival Lebanese Forces party of seeking civil war and warned it that Hizbullah has “100,000 trained and armed fighters.”
“A certain party and leader want residents in Ain al-Remmaneh, Hadath and Furn el-Chebbak to fear their neighbors in Dahiyeh,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech, commenting on Thursday’s deadly clashes in Tayyouneh.
“The latest incidents were important, dangerous and very different than similar incidents that might have recently happened,” Nasrallah added, noting that “the objective behind stirring these fears is for this party to present itself as the main defender of Christians.”
“Over the past years, the Lebanese Forces party started inventing an enemy in Lebanon… Although Thursday's martyrs belonged to Hizbullah and Amal Movement, the LF leader focused on Hizbullah,” Nasrallah said.
He alleged that “there is a combatant militia for the LF party that is being armed and organized” and that “the real program for the Lebanese Forces is civil war, in order to confine Christians demographically in a certain area.”
“All proofs confirm that the LF party was behind killing the Tayyouneh martyrs,” he said.
Commenting on LF leader Samir Geagea’s latest interview, Nasrallah said that the "Christian mini May 7" phrase “condemns Geagea and the LF no matter how it is interpreted.”
“Everything that they said contained full endorsement of the massacre,” he added.
Five Hizbullah and Amal Movement members, a woman and a delivery worker were killed and dozens of people were injured in Thursday's fierce clashes in the Tayyouneh-Ain al-Remmaneh area.
Hizbullah and Amal have accused the LF party of "deploying snipers on rooftops" and opening fire on "peaceful protesters." The Lebanese Forces has meanwhile denied using snipers while noting that it was Ain al-Remmaneh’s residents who "defended themselves" in the face of an "invasion" by the supporters of the two groups. Geagea also said that one of the protesters opened fire from a handgun, injuring four people, before any shots were fired from Ain al-Remmaneh.
Reassuring that “Hizbullah, Amal Movement and Shiite Muslims in Lebanon are not enemies of the Christians” and that their “decision” is “coexistence,” Hizbullah’s leader charged that “the biggest threat to Christian presence in Lebanon is the Lebanese Forces party.”
Accusing the LF of providing “a cover for takfiris in Lebanon and Syria” during earlier years of the Syrian conflict, Nasrallah reminded that Hizbullah had “defended Christians and Muslims in Baalbek-Hermel.”
“Wherever the LF party becomes present, a war breaks out and Christians get displaced,” he charged, reminding of several civil war battles.
“I advise the LF and its leader to abandon the idea of civil war and internal strife forever,” Nasrallah added, telling Geagea that he is “making wrong calculations” as he “has always done.”
“You are mistaken about Hizbullah's status in the region… You are very mistaken by saying that Hizbullah is weaker than the Palestine Liberation Organization,” Nasrallah went on to say, claiming that Geagea had said that in a meeting with former allies in which he encouraged them to fight Hizbullah alongside the LF.
Noting that Hizbullah has supporters, various departments and allies, Nasrallah warned Geagea that the Iran-backed group also has “100,000 trained and armed fighters.”
“Do not make wrong calculations. Sit still, be polite and draw lessons from your wars and our wars,” he added, addressing Geagea and the LF.
Nasrallah also said that Hizbullah wants “a serious and quick probe” into the Tayyouneh incidents.
“We will not abandon the blood of our brothers and sisters,” he vowed.
Turning to the issue of the Beirut port blast investigations, Nasrallah said that Hizbullah is “very, very keen on knowing the truth.”
“When the course of justice gets deviated and turns into selectivity and political targeting, we do not have the right to remain silent,” he said.
“A false witness appeared on a known TV and the judge added his remarks to the file and we knew that a file is being fabricated against us,” Nasrallah added, referring to Imad Kishli, who said on MTV that he had twice transported ammonium nitrate from Beirut port to south Lebanon.
Nasrallah noted that the man’s family knows that he is mentally disturbed. He also ridiculed the claims by reiterating that Hizbullah has its own “trucks, men and warehouses” across Lebanon.
“Is our demand for the change of a judge intimidation while the U.S. threat is not intimidation?” Hizbullah’s leader wondered.
He also charged that “those who bear the biggest responsibility for the port bombing are the judges who authorized the nitrates to enter the port.”

The face of a criminal, a cold assassin. Today we are all Lukaim sons, Tueni sons, Hariri sons, etc. Nasrallah/Assad/Suleimani are the assassins and he should rot in prison. Unbelievable no government has asked to confirm Shebaa farm is Lebanese or protected our borders from HizbIran invasion. HizbIran by intimidation made Shia strangers to their own culture and traditions. He caused the exodus of all good paying western firms that had made Beirut its regional headquarter. Lebanon had 6% GNP growth on route to become the next Singapore and pay our debt before Hizb 2006 War destroyed our economy, sovereignty and liberty to protect his arms. No freedom, sovereignty or recovery without disarming these invading Basij and put an end to intimidation and ambush. Every community in coordination with resident army members must create a resistance to defend and protect their community from these Basij. Basij support is a mile wide but an inch deep. Cracks have started and it fall is near

An important question after Nasrallah threats. Why are we still supporting our army if they can't put this criminal in prison after threatening 2/3 of Lebanese are disarming his basij thugs spreading lawlessness and terror throughout Lebanon and 99% responsible for our woes. If our politicians are rats we expect some courage from our army. The army silence is a sign of capitulation to the thugs. This is unacceptable. Freedom and democracy requires courage! Defending honor and justice sacrifices. Hope our army wake up for its duty before it is too late to save Lebanon!

So when you send your thugs into a Christian area which has symbolic meaning during the civil war and they shout out "Shia Shia Shia", destroy vehicles, property and beat-up residents you call that 'Cultural' exchange?
You are a terrorist; pure and simple.

Harakat Amal alone can destroy LF cowards if there were a war, but the Sayed has spoken and then there will be no war.
Let the LAF do it's job.
Nobody will fall in Geageas trap, he did this for dollars, not for the sake of christians.
How many christians did Geagea himself kill? Women and children too in Ehden Massacre for that matter.

You seem to forget that the Kataeb got saved by the Assads and the Syrian army back in 1976, when the PLO almost kicked them out of Beirut, everybody knows that, but keeps quiet.
Let us see who is real afraid, if trained squads with experience from Syria, came into the streets of Beirut to fight these cowards hiding on rooftops.
But no this will not happen, and if the LF wants civil strife, then most of the Lebanese will do their best to stop them, because it is in nobodies interest, and the government will oppose it.
The only barking dogs here are the LF and Geagea, if they want civil war so much, let them try something smart again and again, nobody will come to save them this time.

This stooge said nothing when the druze in the south hit his bozos or when the arabs of khaldeh hit his militias. But when a christian defends his region he becomes crazy. 100000 fighters? Sit still and be polite? Can we get more arrogant than this?

His threat of 100 thousand trained fighters is aimed at the army not the LF. He knows the Port Probe will definitely tie his party to the nitrates, so he wants to make sure that the army and security forces think twice before implementing justice. As for the truck driver he mentioned, again we see the same tactics being used as was the case in the Harriri Probe, the truck driver is a fabrication of their own doing.
