Qassem Says Israel Waging 'International Campaign' against Hizbullah after Bulgaria Accusation
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah denounced Israel on Wednesday for waging an "international campaign" against it after Bulgaria said the Lebanese party was behind a July bombing that killed five Israeli tourists.
Sheikh Naim Qassem, the group's number two, slammed the "international campaign of intimidation waged by Israel against Hizbullah," and said it is "ever improving its equipment and training" and that "these charges will change nothing."
Qassem did not make specific reference to the bombing that also killed one Bulgarian, in the first comments from Hizbullah since the accusation was made by Sofia on Tuesday.
"There is a global attack led by Israel to confront the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine... targeting Hizbullah specifically because (Israeli) aggression has failed against Hizbullah," added Qassem.
"Today the world is divided between the resistance and those who seek international hegemony, and we know that the resistance can triumph," he went on to say.
The Bulgarian government said two people using Canadian and Australian passports linked to Hizbullah were behind the July 18 bombing of a bus at the Black Sea Burgas airport.
After the announcement, the White House and Israel called on Europe to take action against Hizbullah.
U.S. President Barack Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan, his nominee to head the CIA, urged European states to take "pro-active action" to uncover Hizbullah's infrastructure, financing and operational networks.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Bulgarian accusation that Hizbullah was behind the bombing should push the EU to draw the "necessary conclusions" about the group, hinting it should be placed on a terror watch list.
and he is surprised?
of course it changes nothing for you: you do not care about Lebanon.
all you care about is to carry your Iranian masters orders.
et toi tu es un gros fake qui crée des faux comptes et poste des commentaires sous dix noms differents :)
je vois que tu en es deja a 4, yalla encore quelques logout/signin et tu auras l'impression d'etre tres intelligent grace aux pouces (que tu peux te mettre ou je pense)
moliere, mouwateh is fagtastic fagblower's boyfriend... don't mess with him
strider c'est un de tes alias moliere? pas le plus poli je vois, ni le plus pertinent
No moliere.... I was responding to your post directed at FARSI Imbecile Motormouth...
"motawate2 toi tes le plus gros fake!! tes tabouche toi!"
Yes Israel is waging an international campaign against the Hizb. This is not new. The question is: was the hizb involved in the bombing? And if yes, who ordered such a stupid and counterproductive operation? Heads must roll for that incompetence.
I agree with you rafehh? IF it is true (and I doubt it) how many heads were rolled after the many massacres Israelis have committed in Lebanon and Palestine? Why Europe keeps on calling settlements as Israeli colonialism, while at the same time supporting them? I do not think it is in Europe's interest to create more enemies in the Arab and Islamic world to please the Zionist lobby?
The Israelis investigate every screw-up. They could care less for Arab civilians. They care about the impact on the security and image of Israel. At the very least, we should do the same.
"The Israelis investigate every screw-up". Yes, they investigated the murder of 8 Turkish civilians and they were found innocent. Also, the murder of Rachel Courie, and many other war crimes. You are saying that our government should do the same about Bulgaria?
Why nothing has been written in Naharnet that the "investigation" was mainly relied on the US and Israeli investigators (who are not neutral) AND the Bulgarian opposition was VERY SKEPTICAL of the accusation against HA???
because it doesnt serve the israe... erm sorry, the m14 propaganda
so mouwateeeeeh M14 are israeli and you claim that israel assasinated all the M14 politicians... walla bhanik wou bhanne immak fik... malla lamba inta
of course they did strider, they are the only ones who have an interest in antagonizing lebanese sides and creating a rift between them.
they dont care which side they pluck from, as long as the end result is reached. if they had killed m8 leaders m8 wouldnt have accused m14, instead they would have accused israel and all lebanon would have been united against it, so it would hav been counter-productive. by hitting on m14 they got what they wanted: divisions, distrust, tensions, hatred among lebanese.
here we go again, everything is conspiracy--if HA thinks the facts are incorrect, have them PROVE that. Sitting back and calling everything a conspiracy is getting old and everyone (at least with a quarter of a brain) has figured out that this is their modus operandi.
Deny, deny, deny and insist--nothing new in the HA playbook--oh yeah, still they offer no proof.
ya habibi ya bigjohn,,lets forget about hariri and harb and egypt and thailand and argentina snd beirut airport and bulgaria.Did US and israel force hizb to attack beirut in 2007?
future movement did. be from the side you want, and point your finger where you wish, but everybody knows that in 2008 (not 2007) there were FM militiamen all over beirut, who had been moved there in advance and who shot at the crowd of protesters, thus triggering the biggest spanking in modern lebanese history
mowaten,I can say that you are young.dont be proud of the spanking,look were its getting lebanon now with arsal and etc....
you and me are convinced of our facts,whats the solution?everybody has to give up their weapons includind hizb,in order to have a normal civilized country.
"egypt and thailand and argentina " ..Ya habibi ya peacelover, why do we have to be peacelovers and the Israelis ethnic cleansing killers?
So bigjohn,what I understand from your reply is that hizb has the right to kill innocent lebanese and others because israel is killing innocent lebanese and others.YOU are really heartless.
this doesnt make any sense, HA never deliberately targeted civilians, never made an operation without claiming responsibility and this is way too convenient for israelis who were whining for EU to put HA on a terror list. not falling for that.
Mowaten here is what a simple google search found.
The 1992 Israeli Embassy attack in Buenos Aires, killing 29, in Argentina.
The 1994 AMIA bombing of a Jewish cultural centre, killing 85, in Argentina.
The January 15, 2008, bombing of a U.S. Embassy vehicle in Beirut.
In 2009, a Hezbollah plot in Egypt was uncovered, where Egyptian authorities arrested 49 men for planning attacks against Israeli and Egyptian targets in the Sinai Peninsula.
The 2012 Burgas bus bombing in Burgas, killing 6, in Bulgaria.
there is also what mughnie did with the plane and I'm sure there are plenty more but I really don't feel like going through any more google links.
well maybe you should get passed google for once and check the facts
*Buenos Aires: islamic jihad claimed responsibility
*AMIA: "No suspects have been convicted for the bombing and there have been many allegations made, including those blaming the government of Iran.[18] The investigations were marred by incompetence;[19]"
*Egypt: Nasrallah did say they had men working from egypt to help the people in gaza, the "alleged planning" is what it is, just allegationas made by the egyptians at the time they were fully cooperating with israel against gaza
as for the 15th of january 2008 > wtf? didnt see anyone make a link between the bombing in dawra and hezbollah
and finally about burgas: LOL are you saying that a proof that they did the burgas bombing is that they did the burgas bombing?
what can say- It's a consperacy against hizb where everyone else is in on it and every single event is a false claim perpetrated and executed by the Isreal and the west.(Never mind the Butrous Harb incident, the Harriri bombing, the "two car salesmen" that settle their dispute by playing hot potato with a bomb,etc...)
I would love to hear your reasoning on WHY everyone is picking on the Hizb since they are saints who have never commited an act against civilians. If you don't mind me asking.
of course it's a conspiracy, what the hell do you think global politics and conquests/colonization is done with? hugs and kisses
and no it's not "everybody" who is picking on HA, it's greedy superpowers who kill by the million for oil land and water. like they are the defendants of the innocent now??
because HA stands in their face and they cant get rid of it militarily, they use deception. all part of the divide and rule.
my question to you was, and I repeat,
WHY everyone is picking on the Hizb since they are saints who have never commited an act against civilians.
what is the motive behind taking saints such as the hizb and implicating them in such consiperacies to which requires killing their own people (something only know to the arabs and NEVER used in western societies). why are so many countries involved. I want to hear WHY you think YOU AND THE HIZB ARE VICTIMS since you claim to be saints.
Stands in their face to do what? what is the hizb in the southern part of tiny Lebanon standing in the way of the big evil west to do what?
I fail to see where you did but I will take your word for it. I know truly beleive that the hizb are truly victims and have absolutely NO BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS. Not Lebanese or any other. Thank you for convincing me with a such undeniable facts. GOD HELP LEBANON!
bigsami- I didn't expect any reasonable answers from him. I just wanted to expose him a bit to reason and common sense. Clearly one would have to throw both of those out of the window to even entertain the idea of accepting their lame execuses. Murdering people and claiming to be victims. They are nothing more than murderers. cold blodded murderers.
the same way ya Mowaten Syria cooporated with Israel when they invaded Lebanon ? and the same way syria cooporated with Israel to take down Arafat ? and the same way ya mowaten syria cooporated with the CIA at the time of Bush Jr with Iran to catch people and torture them in prisons built by the CIA and mossad in syria/Jordan/egypt/Iran ? dude you are so naive , god how the human stupidity can be without any boundaries ! and you still beleive them ?
Flamer- by that logic than all you have ever said is irrelevant since it is on the internet. Look, lets have an open mind when we look at things. one, two, three incidents, one can claim to be a victim of consperacies and big evil media. countless incidents and countless places caliming the same thing about the same people. Consperacy as an excuse is lame. As well, when someone wants to claim such things, one must at least state a somewhat reasonable motives others might have to go that extent to frame them. I have yet to get anything remotely resembeling a reason as to why all these evil doers would come together to victimize the holy hizb. how about you give it a shot and see if you can do a better job than momo.
We all should be DEMANDING that the West charge the racist ethnic cleansing Israeli terrorist state with war crimes. Why are we concentrating on the Lebanese resistance record of what theyt might have done?
Big John- just because Isreal has committed crimes dosent make ok for Hizb to do so. You seem to forget that some of the people they murdered are LEBANESE!
Flamer- Thank you for the spell check. Always appreciated! How many countries are involved in the STL? Did you not claim it to be a conspiracy(spelled correctly thanks to you)? Which is it? all these countries picking on your holy hizb (not meant to be taken literally unless you're a kid) or the hizb is guilty? see flamer that’s the problem with you and momo. you spend your entire time arguing every single post and deciding your against that you inevitably contradict yourselves 100 times over. So I suggest you stop acting like an orangina parrot and repeating what your daddy told you on here. Maybe when you get a little older you can start developing your own thoughts and start making up your own mind on what is right and wrong.
YES, Lebanese first HA has killed LEBANESE. Which Lebanese party has NOT? The Israeli enemy wants us to kill each other. That is MORE dangerous than anything else.
mowaten ,,the shooting of two innocent civilians at the doorstep of the plane in beirut.was that a deliberate targeting of civilians?Did they claim responsability to the attempted murder of harb?Please dont be brainwashed,
look at things with an open mind
what are you talking about when you say "at the doorstep of the plane"? be more specific, what case are you referring to?
about harb who would bother trying to kill such a loser? the case was fabricated to give the ugly mope free publicity.
hizb highjacked an american airline in1982 and landed inbeirut.then shot two innocent civilians at the doorstep infront of the whole world cameras.
mowaten- another fabrication? that's your excuse again? how many fabrications is that? have we reached 100 yet? I'm just curious as to how many times you are planning on playing the same card. well at least you didn't claim it was Isreal. Your answers do make great jokes, I do have to give you that.
peacelover check your facts. the twa flight was in 85 not 82, and 1 person was killed not 2. he was a US soldier.
Helwe hay lol, didn't ha deliberately fire at iIsraeli cities? Leh mist7yeen? Of course Israeli citizens are fair game to hizbustAn. Why the shame?. The next thing you will say that gaegae bombed the bus lol. Other examples: kidnappings of westernes in the 80s, assassinations of countless she3as who opposed Iran in the 80s, not to mention scores of assassinations that involved many civilian casualties in the last 10 years
Well read and well said you clever man " bigjohn".
All the commentators should open this link and they will know what israel is planning as said by one of the most proeminent Historians of our time, and a gentile himself.

Sheikh Naim, it so happens that you, Sayed Hassan and Hezbollah made the same mistakes as the PLO and Yasser Arafat did decades ago. You got very powerful, got big allies, lots of cash, you name it you have or had it to the point you guys advertized your muscles so much that now you got yourselves into the mess that you are in now. The war with Israel looks more and more of a reality with every passing month, Israel's destruction of that convoy from Syria last week was meant to cripple your potency when crunch comes to heave. Iran may just be able to wiggle out with many compromises, but my worry is beyond that, my worry is for the Lebanese people who in most cases have nothing to do with Hezbollah's madness. The people, yes the people, they will once again have to shoulder the pains you keep bringing to them.
so true. 100% of the time it's the Lebanese people that pay the price of either the government or the militia's mis-adventure.
He seems afraid of a real fight with Israel. Afraid that their tactic to attack easy civilian targets is being revealed to the world. It won't be as easy as killing unarmed innocent Lebaneses or Syrians.
They killed l 7ariri: we should never forgive to this filthy militia. Abadan!
unarmed innocent lebanese? which ones did HA kill? are you referring to the Future Movement militiamen in 2008? starting a fight you can't finish doesnt make you "unarmed" nor "innocent"
about syria i hear that song everyday, they say there are 5000 HA men in syria, yet not one of them was ever captured? not one body was taken by FSA to show us? not one of them was filemd or photographed and identified? l3ama, are the FSA that bad!??
have you ever heard of civilian shields ? i hope yes , have you ever heard that HA was hidding in civilian areas while getting bombed by Israel ? i hope yes , is it enough for you to consider those 1000 + civilan killed in 2006 enough ? i hope yes otherwise you are a hypocrite , brainwashed animal mowaten ! for your proof about HA implicated from where those meet bags coming from at Massna3, when Hassan said that they carrying their jihadi duties , where are they carrying them Mowaten ? singapour ?
did israel ever hesitate to fire at a crowded civilian area? no. so why would anyone bother taking human shields? you know they're going to bomb anyway.
besides this no objective source nor fact ever showed HA operating from civilian areas (it's only the israeli's word you have for it). to the contrary, dozens of videos showing HA operations clearly indicate they are done from hills and remote areas.
when israel needs it's dose of blood, it will kill without hesitation and indiscriminately. you can either fight back or bend over and die like a lamb.
I am sure no accusations will be made without adequate proof, without some evidence so lets wait and see what they have.. As for the hizb, we all know your history so nothing surprises us. You take your orders from outside our borders and god only knows what the intelligence agencies controling you are cooking up.
Remember the case of the Hezb's terrorist in Egypt, deny, deny, deny, then when the Egyptians produced the terrorist, Hassin Jardoun was on TV admitting it was his terrorist. Same thing with the Hezb's terrorist in Iraq etc...
The hizb never deliberatly targeted civilians!! This mouwaten guy is mental!!
but you cant blame these guys really, the mouwatens of the world. i would probably think the same way if i was fed the hizb story, the great resistance who just want to help poor old lebanon.. they dont see the power politics, the geopolitical importance of our border to the iranians, the influence they are projecting through the use of our land..
It takes a lot to wake people up and some prefer the simple narrative of good against evil.
You can lie on most people some of the time, or lie on some people most of the time, but you cannot lie on most people most of the time. Kassem you are a blunt liar part of a terrorist organisation with global reach, responsible not only for most of the serial political killings ver recent years, but stretching back to the early 80's, under different names, with the same sponsor, you were already exerting your criminal activities! Not to mention the countless terrorists acts where local national jurisdictions are uncovering your filthy marks, all over the globe!
Can't wait until Israel finishes off this group of murderers. They will be doing the whole world a favor let alone Lebanon!
ahaha , you are funny troll , you talk like if you were the one who is holding a weapon and fighting ... stfu idiot and go find another argument , this one is not for you ya syrio-irani dog !
Trying to sound retarded? Don't stress yourself...you are a retard (and no disrespect for those who are unfortunately are)! Your post clearly shows what a moron you are still in la la land believing that the entire world is scum while a few religious fanatics that beleive in violence and blood as means for control is the way about it. Mustool and I don't blame you for it but your parents who probably drilled it into your naive limited brain.
Sami-
Hate to say it but i agree with you! Let the IDF crush these animals. Its obvious that the LAF wont do it and the UNIFIL guys are no better.
stargate has a point though, bigbozo is such a tough guy on internet, i wonder how come he didnt already singlehandedly eradicate hezbollah. how can such a tough man be crying to mama israel asking them for help?
poor hezbis.... another conspiracy against an innocent democratic and peaceful party....
let us pity them
Exactly! How some people still buy this crap is beyond me. what are we? a nation of Forest Gumps?
HA IS NOT a peaceful party. We are talking about what HA did or did not do in Bulgaria. Compared to the massacres and war crimes of the Israeli terrorist government.....it is a lot more just and peaceful.
Again two wrongs don't make a right. What has Bulgaria done to the Hizb to deserve this? Was the bus driver not Bulgarian? What about innocent by-standers that could have been killed? And if you are wondering if Hizb did this or not, what motive would Bulgaria have to falsely accuse the Hizb of this and not the real perpetrators? Sorry bud, this just dosent look good for the Hizb.
Thanks for the compliment on the one liners. I actually take pride in them! so nice of you to notice. BTW I graduated way back in 2002 so nope. did not learn them in school or the library. figured them out all on my own. However, if my deduction is correct then you are someone who is still in schoool. What grade are you in? I would venture to say that you are very young. Don't worry, the older you get the more knowledge you gain. Then you can look back at this and laugh at the absurdity of your claims. There is still hope for you yet.
BTW Flamer- I lived bil nab3a during the heart of the war. How about you share with us a story or two of bullet whizzing by your ear? please enlighten us a bit.
Ya gatta give it to hezballs in less than ten years they already made more saints than 2013 years of church history. Me thinks that those ka3ks they distribute at their rallies are in reality halos, stick it on your head Hassan = instant saint.
What happened in Bulgaria remains a mystery. After all, Bulgaria has very close ties to US/Israel, but this does not mean that such allegations should be completely disregarded. Indeed, these are very serious allegations that must be reviewed by an independent judiciary.
The claim that Hezbollah is crime-free is baseless. While it is true that they do not deliberately attack a pure civilian area, they have committed war crimes (refer to independent NGOs such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International). Some of these crimes are launching inaccurate rockets that can pretty much land anywhere in Israel (thus killing civilians), and its guerilla tactics also mean that it is putting Lebanese civilians at risk.
If you do not want to take my word for it, then do read the articles by independent, non-partisan NGOs on Hezbollah, who have also criticized Israel many times as well.
Ya habibi who has not committed war crimes??? The NATO troops occupying Afghanistan and other former colonized countries are immuned from war crimes prosecution from the natives.
Of course, Hezbollah is not alone, and one could argue that the devastation caused by Hezbollah's crimes are marginal compared to Israel's in Gaza and US in Iraq. I simply pointed out that Hezbollah is also not completely innocent, as some like to suggest.
Here's an interesting article:"Bulgarian opposition questions blaming of Hezbollah for bomb"
http://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCABRE9150UT20130206?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0
according to brainwashed people like mowaren here Israel killed it's own citizens, hariri killed his own father, wesam Hassan told aoun and Charles ayoub to issue him death threats, butrus harb episode was just a joke made in an elevator. how can you reason with such people?
When Israeli bombs start raining over our heads again, when our cities start crumbling, when corpses are left to rot in the streets for days, when our country folks start dashing for refuge, anywhere anyhow, sun or rain, when we cry out loud to the world, what shall we say again, that we gave Hezbollah all the reins to take us to another war? We have lots of bravado here in this forum, many preferring to defend an entity that is now indefensible anymore. Israel is here to stay, Israel is here to be kept stronger than us all, yet we Lebanese prefer to fight for the sake of a dying sick in Damascus. I will be criticized for my stand, but when the bombs start raining, let's see just how many Rambos there will be left around. Eft...
My desire is not to show any disrespect to the views of anyone who supports Hezbollah, but this is what I have to say: During the war of July 2006, I was volunteering to go into the battle zones whenever it was possible, to extricate people who were stuck in battle zones. I remember well a group of Shiite women and men, who during the trip back to East Beirut, they told me that no one wins a war with Israel. For the next month, I kept seeing them almost daily to deliver to them aid, same talk from them. Then when Israel accepted to the ceasefire on August 15, 2006, I saw on TV 3 of those women who said, Labayka ya Nasrallah, we will give our lives to you. A day earlier they were saying, "Allah maye waf2ak ya Sayed Hassan". Human nature? Just a reminder, that' all.
Now I am ready to take as many thumbs down as you wish, but when the bombs start, just remember that what you can say and do in the comfort of home and folks is not the same when you live under a staircase with your loved ones, not knowing if you or them will see the next day's sun.
In the last few months, Israel has attacked Syria, Sudan, and Palestine with IMPUNITY. The Israelis have NOT THREATENED to attack Lebanon because of what the Bulgarian government said. That is because it was an covert operation, just like their covert operations around the world. They do not dare attack Lebanon because there is an organized resistance that DETERS Israeli aggression.
The white man will never respect you or treat you as equal if we do not treat ourselves as equal.
By the way, does anyone have an explanation for Israel's daily flights now over Lebanon, daily flights I mean?
They're sending a message.... they deployed their iron dome and patriots on the Lebanese border to show they're ready. If HA moves a muscle, we -the civilians- will all eat fecal matter.
