Nasrallah to March 14 Camp: Building the State Doesn’t Mean Eliminating the Other
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةHizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah called on Thursday the March 14 camp to resolve issues that it and the March 8 forces “agree need to be resolved”, such as the electoral law, spoiled food scandal, and spread of drugs at schools.
He said during a student graduation ceremony: “Extending the hand to the other does not mean eliminating them, but rather delaying in addressing controversial issues.”
“The country should not be crippled as a result of our disagreements,” he added.
On Wednesday, the March 14 forces called for a “peace intifada among the Lebanese to end the tragedies of the past away from relying on foreign powers and the force of arms.”
Nasrallah criticized the March 14 camp for linking all pending issues to ending Hizbullah’s possession of arms, saying: “They are following the policy of ‘either you work with us or we cripple the country’.”
“They say that they will not resolve the issue of illiteracy, spread of drug abuse, and unemployment in Lebanon unless the dispute over the resistance’s arms is settled,” he added.
“This is not sound reasoning, but part of an agreement made with the U.S. and the West,” he declared.
“Whoever thinks he is capable of tackling the resistance’s arms should go ahead and try,” he stated.
“We have repeatedly said that our hand is extended to the other, but recognizing the other needs to be translated into action,” stressed the Hizbullah leader.
Turning to the March 14 camp, Nasrallah remarked: “When we formed the government, you incited the world against it. Is this recognition of the other?”
Indirectly addressing Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea, he noted: “They say that the March 14 forces are capable of building the state, but with what mentality? Are you even capable of forming your own parties?”
“When the March 14 camp used to be a majority, we, along with the rest of the opposition, were shunned from rule. We did take part in government and we cooperated in all issues. All we wanted was to achieve stability, especially after the Syrian troop withdrawal in 2005,” he added.
Addressing the Syrian crisis, he said: “It’s been a year since the crisis began. We call on all sides to review the past year and conclude that only a political solution can end the unrest. Anything else other than that will lead to more bloodshed.”
“Whoever is seeking to topple the Syrian regime at any price will fail,” he stressed.
“It is in our interest as Lebanese and Syria’s neighbors to seek a political solution. It is up to the Syrians to implement reform,” he noted.
“We back a people who support the resistance,” he added.
Addressing the Syrian people, Nasrallah said: “Put aside your weapons as the bloodshed must stop. We cannot but condemn the massacres being committed in Syria.”
“Efforts should be exerted to end the bloodshed and a political solution and dialogue are the only salvation,” he remarked.
On the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, Nasrallah saluted the Palestinian people, condemning those who claimed that the unrest in the Palestinian territories is aimed at diverting attention away from the developments in Syria.
Turning to the opposition demonstrations in Bahrain, the Hizbullah leader said: “The Bahraini people refuse to be pawns in the hands of others and it is therefore clear that the people have a will that cannot be broken.”

Nasrallah: Media reports that speak of division among our ranks are basing their claims on false facts. Some sides are working on creating tensions among the people.
-
15 March 2012, 16:27
Nasrallah: The Bahraini people refuse to be used as pawns and it is clear that the people have a will that cannot be broken.
-
15 March 2012, 16:26
Nasrallah on the situation in Bahrain: The massive demonstration by the opposition, which is keen on Bahrain’s security, demonstrates its strong will and those banking on its failure will be proven wrong.
-
15 March 2012, 16:23
Nasrallah: Those banking on the fall of the Syrian regime, foreign intervention, and civil war will be disappointed. We support people who back the resistance. We advise our Syrian brothers to lay down their arms. The bloodshed must stop and we cannot but condemn the massacres that are being committed.
-
15 March 2012, 16:22
Nasrallah: We have to speak the truth when we see it. We stand by what is right, no matter what the cost.
-
15 March 2012, 16:19
Nasrallah: We as Lebanese cannot solve our own problems.
-
15 March 2012, 16:18
Nasrallah: It’s in our interest as Lebanese and as Syria’s neighbor to reach a political solution in Syria. It’s up to the Syrians to implement reform.
-
15 March 2012, 16:17
Nasrallah: It’s been a year since the Syrian crisis began. We support a political solution and anything other than that will lead to more bloodshed.
-
15 March 2012, 16:16
Nasrallah: We are fearful that a civil war may erupt in Syria because of its support for the resistance. We all support democracy and reform and we are sad over every drop of blood that is shed in Syria.
-
15 March 2012, 16:12
Nasrallah on the developments in Gaza: Unfortunately, some Lebanese media outlets said that Palestinians instigated the unrest, which is wrong. Israel carries out the airstrike and killed Zuhair al-Qaisi.
-
15 March 2012, 16:06
Nasrallah: Dialogue is needed in Lebanon in order to tackle all national issues.
-
15 March 2012, 16:06
Nasrallah: How is the March 14 camp capable of building the state? Through what mentality and method? Are they even capable of creating their own parties? A state is not built through the elimination of the other, but through dialogue.
-
15 March 2012, 16:04
Nasrallah: We have repeatedly said that our hand is extended to the other. Are we hiding anything? What have you hidden at the national dialogue? Recognizing the other should be done through action. Did you recognize the new government when it was formed? All you did was create incitement against it.
-
15 March 2012, 16:02
Nasrallah: When the March 14 camp used to be a majority, we, along with the rest of the opposition, were shunned from rule. We did take part in government and we cooperated in all issues. All we wanted was to achieve stability, especially after the Syrian troop withdrawal in 2005.
-
15 March 2012, 16:00
Nasrallah: The others are adopting the slogan of “either you do as we say or we cripple the government.” They say that they will not tackle the issue of drugs, illiteracy, and spoiled food without first tackling the resistance’s possession of arms.
-
15 March 2012, 15:58
Nasrallah: The cases of spoiled food, rampant spread of drugs in schools, a new electoral law and others need to be addressed through dialogue in government, parliament, or at the national dialogue. We should not obstruct the country’s functioning should a dispute emerge over these issues.
-
15 March 2012, 15:55
Nasrallah: The problem with Iran is that it enriched uranium because they are fearful that it would acquire the knowledge on how to make a nuclear weapon. We do not want this weapon. Imam Khamenei said such a thing is forbidden in our ideology.
-
15 March 2012, 15:54
Nasrallah: Lebanon is suffering from 25% unemployment and spoiled food scandal, which does not need to be subjected to sectarian differences because this problem was created as a result of negligence.
-
15 March 2012, 15:51
Nasrallah: Some regimes and governments, including Arab ones, believe that it is in their interest to keep their people poor and illiterate in order to keep their main concern on how to earn a loving.
-
15 March 2012, 15:47
Nasrallah: According to new studies, there are 57 million illiterate Arabs, meaning a third of the population. This is a disaster in an Ummah whose holy book calls on its followers to "read in the name of your God."
-
15 March 2012, 15:43
Nasrallah: We should achieve this goal as soon as possible and if people are receptive of this issue, then not a single illiterate will remain in Lebanon.
-
15 March 2012, 15:38
Nasrallah: We should end illiteracy in Lebanon. Ministries and organizations should tackle and support this issue. We do not claim that this is our responsibility alone, but all political powers must address it despite their differences.
-
15 March 2012, 15:36
Nasrallah: The UNESCO has found that 16% of Lebanese are illiterate and this is a very large number.
-
15 March 2012, 15:30
Nasrallah: The first step in asking an education lies in ending illiteracy in order for man to evolve.
-
15 March 2012, 15:29
Nasrallah: Our message stresses the great importance of knowledge and education. The Prophet Mohammed stated that requesting an education is a duty.
-
15 March 2012, 15:27
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah during student graduation ceremony: An education helps people move to new worlds of knowledge.
can't wait for this trash bag to die. Israel should do with him as they did to Sheikh Ahmad Yasin... send them to 'heaven' with a one way ticket.
Ben zina, why dont you go die as well? You keep wishing death upn others, this prooves that your not better than anyone. A disgrace to mankind, that is what you are. And why do you always ask israel to do the killing for you? Why should they take care of your dirty business? But ill tell you what, if israel attacks lebanon again, i hope you get a taste of it so you learn to have some compassion insead of asking the nazisraelis to kill your ppl, if your really lebanese that is. Shame on you.
@freemaronite:
you are assuming that hizbishaitan is lebanese? then you are wrong: they are iranians. so revise your comments based on this :)
Nasrallah, hitler, Ben laden, Saddam..... All going to the same place ---> HELL. If you admire him, then you are following the djin....
Interesting statistics but i am interested more in knowing what is percentage women's illiteracy rate in Lebanon and accross the middle east.
If i would guess - women would make up the bulk of it.
....... and here comes the classic according to the murshid of the republic, to quote "A state is not built through the elimination of the other, but through dialogue."........ no further comments........!!!!!!!!!
You claim that when march 14 was in power, you cooperated with the government in which you took part ? You and march 8 did everything in your power to block government processes, block democratic process by locking parliament down ! You cooperated with your allies in the political, legal and economical stagnation of lebanon !
And don't talk about dialogue when you refuse to address issues such as weapons, telecommunication systems and all the red lines you place ! Your black shirt gorillaz you unleash ...
You are not allowed to talk about democratic processes, dialogue, politics ... Hizballah is truely Kizb-allah
ANd I'd add, Hezbollah, aka Kezballah from Kerbala. Even the little Iraqi terrorist Sadr doesn't lie that much.
Both March 8 and March 14 leaders, followers are losers, lyers ... losers as losers, there is no degree of how much you are a loser.
It's time for the people to wake up to the reality that is lebanon : a land of sheep and shepherds... Lebanese don't deserve democracy ... what they need is a strong dictator who has a vision and the means to achieve his vision, whatever that is ...
How is there 16% illiteracy in Lebanon? Does that include the foreign refugees and workers?
How long have you been away son, foreign refugees and workers aren't Lebanese so, rightly, they would not be part of any literacy rates. That is unless you consider Lebanon part of a Greater Syria, a Fertile Crescent, Pregnant Muffin or other similar Arab nationalist Bull Al-Manure and then foreign refugees and workers become part of the calculations.
Qawmi bobo... We had many discussions under your qawmi guest name. Yet still u think i consider Lebanon part of greater Syria, you muppet! This estimate was by unesco, who don't necessarily distinguish between citizens in the country they work.
"Nasralllah: A state is not built through the elimination of the other, but through dialogue."
Ok that's hoe you build the state. But when it came to "the Resistance" that was a completely different matter. As you know "the Resistance" was built through the elimination of the others, and not through dialogue. It was built by adopting the slogan of “either you do as we say or we murder and cripple you.”
FloatingTurd, you moron the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon murdered the leaders of the secular leftist Lebanese Resistance. You keep surprising everyone with how a multiply faceted an imbecile you are. Go learn some Lebanese history before you post here Ghadafar.
You are either a deliberate liar or in severe denial. 70% of Lebanese yes even the ones behind GMA but cannot admit it freely, completely reject hzb el kizb & erhab's weapon and want them to be disarmed.
LIAR!
"When the March 14 camp used to be a majority, we, along with the rest of the opposition, were shunned from rule. We did take part in government and we cooperated in all issues."
You resigned from Cabinet, shut down Parliament, camped downtown, demanded veto power, killed M14 politicians and journalists, invaded Beirut on May 7, imposed an ineffective President, then performed a coup against the government.
"Are we hiding anything?" ..... Yes how about the killers of Rafik Hariri, Georges Hawi, Wissam Eid and others?
-------- you hypocrite and LIAR
Who r u kidding
You never recognized M14 as majority
First you accused them of duping you in 2005 elections
And in 2009 you just didn't want to admit defeat so you put your gun at Jumblat's head
And don't forget how your people invaded down town
Your MP and Berri locked parliament for a year
Finally your ministers used to walk away from Cabinet
So Nasrallah PAYBACK is a Bxxch isn't it
Yeah there is dissent among the ranks - They didn't mean Hizbullah ranks, But more importantly among the true lebanese Shiaa patriots community who are turning away from your Iranian Hizb, and are trying to develop other parties that would be Lebanese in nature and objectives.
And that's what is scaring you even more
Oh and stop comparing Syria to Bahrain
Booohoooo...the shias Bahraini are only eating Sushi and not Caviar like their Sunni Bahraini.....Boohoooo they are living in Villas and not Mansions like the Sunni.
"The Brave Shia Bahraini will not be subdued" - Come on stop these heroic theatrical stuff - all they are facing are some policemen in anti-riot gear with batons, water guns and using some tear-gas canisters.
They are not facing Live Bullets, Tank & Artillary shells like the Syrians.
So stop this non-sense comparison.
I wanted to comment on his points but then I would have ended up with twice of what he said because every single one of his points is a lie...... so why bother, I endorse all of the above.
Hey Nasrallah who raped Beirut? Who doesn't pay for electricity causing massive debt in the country? How did the truck get packed with exposives in Dahye? How did Hezz killers get to Syria?
You can shut up now Nasrallah. We don't want to hear your lies anymore.
what a nice photo...he talks to us in his SLEEP TOO.
Blease set his beard and Turban on fire so we see what he has to say when he is awake!
Why would he give people education it's a useless exercise when he's gonna cause their death anyway.
Joking not impressive. Just shows who are the extremists. Definitely not M8 or Ha. The numbers here to prove it. My previous comment offended many. Thank god they have no weapons.
jcamerican actually one can disagree without being offended or being an extremist unless one suffers from Ashura head trauma. I could send you a song about how friends can disagree while stay friends but Hassan of the underground said songs are unmanly and you obviously have enough problems on that front already.
I beg to differ FT.
Khamenei is not just a supreme spiritual leader for the Shiaa. He is also the defacto Head of State of Iran with authority above that of a president. The Pope on the other hand has only moral authority and doesn't have military divisions at his disposal.
You made me recall Kadafi comparing himself to Queen Elizabeth...what a laugh... :)
Fatty was talking about his murderous thugs when they where slaughtering the Lebanese May 07
This puppet of the Khomainist theocracy is wanted in Syria.
Democratic Syria will help Lebanon to be clean from this foreigner khomainist body.
HA promotes the war against Israel, HA asks the Lebanese to be at war constantly, HA will not hesitate one second to establish an Islamic state ruled by Al Faquih (please check Na3im Quassem's book). HA wants to fight Israel despite their nuclear bomb, in order to recover Palestine.
WE Lebanese want to LIVE for God's sake, our parents have only seen the war, our parents have not experienced life and we are not living in Lebanon. We want electrecity, water, we want to educate and not armed our children. We want to live in peace with our neighbors. We want to build a modern country, stable, democratic, republican and multi-cultural. We won't send our children to war!!
I refuse your ideology HA. life is very sacred and we want to live in dignity!!!
Come on, let us have a comparison of poverty and illeteracy levels in your idealized Wilayat Faqih State of Absurdistan and Lebanon..I dare you
I bet the beard is fake, and he's really bald. Maybe during the day he takes off the fake beard and hair, and puts on a suit and tie, then walk around Beriut unnoticed. It could happen and who would know?
It's amazing--he's been living in this bubble for so long that his statements lack any coherence. If he had a real press conference and someone brought this up, he would have a hard time explaining it with sounding like a hypocrite or a fool.
"Freedom" The funniest comment of the day is the pope does not engage in politics HAHAHA. Have you only lived for two weeks or what?
“They are following the policy of ‘either you work with us or we cripple the country’.” Is he mad? That is exactly what Hizbullah and the FPM did! They used the same logic when March 14 was the majority and they crippled the country, nearly tipped the country into civil war, and overthrew the government! HYPOCRITE!!!!!!
Anyone who doubts the existence of Persian Propagandists on this website should read the comments from FliflamThrower, comparing the Dictator Khameni to the Pope. This is not something an Aounist or FPMer would say, it would only come from Hezbollah or Persia.
The Pope has no army, no death squads, no militias, no terrorists, etc.
The Pope does not send people to assassinate Prime Ministers, politicians and journalists (Hariri, Hawi, Murr, Hamadeh, Chidiac and many others)
The Pope does not send terrorists to blow up civilians in Argentina, India, Thailand, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iraq etc)
The Pope is not a Dictator controlling a civilian population.
The Pope does not control who can run for any election (whether it be for mayor, governor or president) and deny anyone who doesn't agree with his agenda.
You are a joke FT
/EN reponse a votre commentaire d'hier //// Qui vous donne-t-il le droit de me tutoyer? la reponse concernant mon username est que celui-ci inclut mon prenom et une partie de mon nom de famille... rien de moins. de la a ce que je vous donne mon identite, vous pourrez toujours rever...
Reminds me of the Taliban: drugs are against Islam, but we'll sell them to buy guns any way but we're an ISLAMIC party.
The pope used to have armies and call crusades in the past, but the west realized that religion shouldn't govern countries and moved away from this. Hopefully, one day Iran and Huzb Allah supporters will advance enough to reach where Europe was in the 1800s...
Decadence and religion are not mutually exclusive. Some of the most 'religious' people are extremely rich and corrupt and commit crimes and sins all the time. The US is still extremely religious in large parts of it (the south and middle) and would never elect a non-christian president. That sounds pretty religious to me and not in a good way.
You're calling the western secular societies extreme (Based on your opinion), but I don't see any French secular suicide bombers or religious wars.
The Pope should sell some of the expensive gold and items in the vatican to help the poor that are starving in many parts of the world, including Christians.
This two legged dog can no longer tell the difference between reality and fairy tales. Nasrallah, no one here was born yesterday. Who do you think you are fooling?
It is very gracious of you to extend your hand to signal that all the people should come together for the greater good of Lebanon... But, let's not discuss our glorious armament, that's here to stay. Every Cheap Bandit with a gun thinks that way.
saudi 3eegal guys are no better then iranians; and hariri is no better then this guy either.
who the hell on this board mentioned Hariri or Saudi Arabia. you people just full of hatred...like Aoun the other day, coudn't stop talking about Gaegea eventhough the question was about Jumblat....
MFAWAZ: You can wake up now. Hassan Nasrallah is the only true leader in the Middle East? He is YOUR leader, you clown. Are you kidding me? This Iranian puppet, whom Iran almost iced because he foolishly started a war with Israel in 2006, is "the only true leader in the Middle East"??? Surely, you must be smoking some very good hashish. Either that or you are deaf, dumb, and blind, with all due respect to the deaf, dumb and blind. Your "glorious resistance"? Is that similar to your "divine victory? The "yahood" are much less an enemy of Lebanon than Hezbullah and Iran, you moron. Ya Rab, you are really, really, really a stupid and brainwashed piece of crap....
gets too much attention for being a "rat". I guess he must really get on the nerves of the M14ers
he is 70% right most of the time, the other 30% is muslim brainwashing.
for those that dont know about secret signs, he is doing one in the picture. last finger seperated from the others.... which means he is in bed with the enemy.
With all do respect Nasralah's predictions are usually wrong wishful thinking, few examples: on Manar TV he said few months ago that "Syria is out of the danger zone" and he is clearly refuting himself today by admitting that Syria is actually very much in the danger zone. Back in 2005 nasralah said that the "Syrian army would withdrawl to the bekaa valley and stay there a year, two, allahu a3lam" but the assad army actually left lebanon altogether which is something unthinkable, in 2006 the miscalculation of the "law kuntu a3lam". Today nasralah is again wrong when he thinks that the regime in Syria can survive against the odds of growing rebelion/insurgency/hatred and a further deterioration in the economy. Mr. nasaralah, you know full well how a determined resistance can liberate a country.
Mr.Nasrallah,
Please stop talking about Bahrain, this has already lead to kicking out the Lebanese community from Bahrain and god forbids it might extend to neighboring countries
This is very amusing, every time aoun, geagea , nasrallah, or any of the guys make a speech, it provides everyone with a day out at the zoo. All these comments can be read everytime someones makes a speech, and we all abuse each other to protect their dignity. I think we are the ones to blame for these idiots who ever they are, the problem with lebanon is there are lebanese in it.. We never learn, I can go back to the country being formed and people back then had the same arguments. If you find this entertining so beit however I am a little bored of all these back and forth comments. Here's an idea lets act sivilised and throw out there some constructive solutions, the more of us doing this perhaps someone might start to listen. That is of course if Lebanon stays being Lebanon then we may all as well end our subscritons and where blind folds. just a thought.
I think what Dheikh Hassan is saying hassome truth to it. M14 had taken over all the state within their folds and ignored the others such as Aoun and Hassan. It's time for Hassan to refrain from doing the same because he's now doing what M14 did before. the best solution for Lebanon is for M 14&8 to meet, clear the air and build a country that we lebanese aim for. A country with economic preponderance and stability. We need to all be Lebanese proud of our origin and able to survive in our country. I am supportive of Hassan's stance and God bless him as he sees that Lebanon can only survive will all its wings
he is an extremist leader of an organization that never elected him his not even an elected member of parliament.. let him go for the job of a house speaker or any government role.. lets start to hold him accountable.. he purposey stayes outside the state institutions so or his group cant be sued or brought to account.. the arab world is no longer gonna put up with oppressors and people who hold his own citizens/people hostage.. lebanon first
labayk ya nasrallah..look at all these worms here!!!!! Don't you understand that the more you incite hateful and shameful comments and have no dignity, the more we love this man and everything he stands for? Nshalla you will all always be hateful as you are now and everytime Nasrallah talks I hope you die with anger and irritation and hate!!!
Neon, I think you are correct. He does get a lot of responses. Just like when there is a horrible car crash on the highway. Most people will slow down and look even when they know its a bad scene.
mawaz WRONG AGAIN!! read on...
General Aoun - MTV - 2002: "Hezbollah has prolonged the time of occupation. There was a proposal from Israel in 1994. Would the Lebanese government tell us why at that time it withdrew from the negotiations when the Israeli proposal for withdrawal was submitted"
I cannot disagree with you on that. The man has charisma, whether you like him or not.
anti !!! labayk lahalak .shou baddak fina.
now if Israel knocks u out again like in 2006 do not come begging at our doors.
keep your divine victories for yourselves pls.
Neon, amongst others Hassan is an intelligent politician, however lets make no mistake about it he is currently acting to the detriment of Lebanon regardless of his rhetric. His adjenda is very clear as he has reminded us on numerous occasions. therefore I challenge any of his supporters who say he is good for the country as either being of the same denomination as him and have a misguided sense of loyalty, uneducated and cannot think critically, or are being fed by him and don't want to loose their bread winner. We are not at war with Israel, I really think in this day and age, the whole zionist (sorry jabal :) ) enemy spin every arab puts on things is just propaganda to provide justification for their existence. Imagine HA had no weapons, and left Israel alone, do you really think we are in danger of being invaded??
Mfawaz????shouldnt you go for a war against israel every year?anno u defeated the Israeli army so yalla go for it.
Believe me i personally enjoyed it and we can celebrate it together.all lebanese i mean
Well, at least he's consistent: he criticizes the opposition for exactly the same things that he and his cronies have been doing, and lying about the past in hope that the "illiterate" Lebanese have memory-spans as short as Jumblat's loyalty-span. Keep it up Hassouna! Great work you're doing around here. You know they're auditioning new roles for the Devil in Hell? I'm sure your experience will set you out from all competition (George W. Bush excepted).
Hopefully Israel will be raining missiles on your beloved Iranian thugs while being careful not to harm any Iranian civilians who can't stand the khamenei opressive and criminal regime.
again I am agreeingg with anonymoustxusa....what is wrong with me!!! @anonymoustxusa you are on target today dude!
