Bahrain Urges Blacklisting of Hizbullah due to its Role in 'Spreading Chaos'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa demanded on Monday that Hizbullah be blacklisted as a terrorist group due to its “terrorist actions” and its “fueling of instability.”

He said before the United Nations General Assembly: “Hizbullah should be blacklisted as a terrorist group by the international community due to its role in spreading chaos.”

Bahrain had already blacklisted Hizbullah “due to its meddling in the country's internal affairs.”

Ties between the party and Bahrain had witnessed tensions due to the party's strong support of a popular uprising in the country that began in 2011.

The Gulf Cooperation Council monarchies decided on June 10 to impose sanctions on Hizbullah, targeting residency permits and its financial and business activities in reprisal for the group's armed intervention in Syria.

The council comprises Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

God Bless the peaceful Ghandi Style Bahraini Shia uprising against the tyrannical oppressive rule of the Bahraini Family. May the Lord bless Sayyed Hassan and the Islamic Secular Resistance for their support of the oppressed wherever they happened to be. The resistance respects the wishes of the majority in every arab country, including Syria. It just so happened the Sunni majority in Syria wants the Shia/Alawai President and his Baath regime to rule them. This is no fiction but rather fact. The last 2 presidential elections in Syria showed Assad winning with an overwhelming majority in excess of 97%. God Bless Sayyed Hassan for his consistency, wisdom, and love for democracy.

RFT. Please say your prayers in your own privacy. Having said that, lets work and encourage peaceful and moderate people to bring an end to tyranny practiced against the oppressed and elect caring and intelligent leaders. Also, what logic to you employ when you have in the past characterized the U.S. as "warmonger", but you praise the Assads? Don't misunderstand me, we know and understand the plea of the Shiites and Alawites, and some people may go as far to give Bashar Al-Assad a medal.

syrian people asking for freedom is "terrorism" for M8, bahreinis asking the same is "heroism" for M8... (oh! i get it: the 1st ones are in majority sunni ,while bahreini are chia! and M8 claim they are not sectarian. LMAO!:!!!)

go figure how narrow minded and hypocrit people they are.....

Missing peace 01 October 2013, 00:02

i don't have any problem criticizing the bahreini regime...an islamic totalitarian regime like iran and the gulf states! . just pointing out the double standards of M8ers.... that's all.
M8ers that cry out for bahrein that put people in jail while bashar killed thousands of innocent civilians and still support that regime..
even if the bahreini regime is like all the other dictatorships in the gulf, you cannot compare it to the baathist regime and the killings they did...
but once again the population is chia there while 80 % sunni in syria, anything to do with their double standards? LOL

Peace: The world's collective response to the deeply rooted Arab/Muslim deadly conflict is for them to get rid of the oppressors from both sides, reap the benefits of the oil reserves while it lasts and/or is in demand and leave peacefully together. Otherwise, foreigners who have mass amounts of pecuniary interests in the oil production will enter and force a solution that will prolong the vicious cycle the Arab/Muslims call living. And then there should be no need to complain since the locals refuse to set aside their differences.

peace: the difference is that in syria there are foreign mercenaries and jihadis, as well as foreign-armed and foreign-sponsored locals, who have been blowing up civilians in marketplaces, buses, beheading people on sectarian basis, destroying infrastructure and attempting to destroy the institutions.

in bahrein there are peaceful protesters who have been enduring 3 years of repression without falling to such methods. no patriotic citizen would destroy his own country in the name of "bettering" it, and this applies to both the bahreinis, and the syrians who despite your propaganda support their armed forces against the foreign aggression.

sure mowaten keep up with your hezbi propaganda.... they were peaceful in syria before bashar shot theem like rabbits and out of exasperation they started to fight back...
but in your binary M8 view you only want to see what suits you best...

Thumb _mowaten_ 02 October 2013, 12:17

call it "propaganda" if that's your way of remaining in denial, but even you cannot deny that the protests started in bahrein BEFORE syria, were brutally repressed with tens and tens of deaths, arrests and torture. and yet it is STILL peaceful to this day.

the protests in syria were peaceful only for a few days, just the time to get the people warmed up.

The days of your illegitimate rule are numbered Khalifa. Democracy will prevail sooner or later in Bahrain, and the noble and peaceful Bahrainis will finally taste the freedom they deserve.

Long live the Bahraini revolution! Yes to Bahraini freedom! Yes to Bahraini democracy!

lol, calling him a "puppy" got me censored.
at the same time, all over the forums there are commenter calling others "rats", "scum" and other unsavory adjectives without being censored despite being reported. the only difference being the target. sectarian hate talk is NEVER moderated, hate incitements neither, but saying the bahraini FM is acting like a puppy to israel is blasphemy.
yet naharnet insists it applies rules impartially.

oh, seems like someone at naharnet restored my comment. thank you.

hahahah that's funny, you speak of who we vote for, to compare us with absolute monarchies. the irony is biting.

the only thing they have on us is the oil they suck from the sand. in terms of culture, freedoms, values, intellectual & human development and justice they are centuries behind.

but if you're so admiring, and so hateful of Lebanon, just go live there.
