Lebanon will be graveyard for invaders: Nasrallah Web posted at: 1/31/2007 1:50:40 Source ::: AFP beirut • Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah vowed at a massive Shi’ite rally yesterday to defeat what he said were US-Israeli plots to provoke civil war in Lebanon, warning that the nation would be the “cemetery of invaders”. Nasrallah, addressing a huge crowd gathered for Ashura, accused US President George W Bush and Israel of “trying to defeat resistance movements in Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq by starting civil wars”. “Lebanon will not be defeated. We will not allow it to be invaded... we have proved that we are capable of defeating (invaders),” he said to chants of “Death to Israel” from the crowd. Nasrallah was referring what he hails as the “divine victory” of his guerrillas in last year’s war against Israel. “Lebanon is a land that cannot be defeated or humiliated. Lebanon has always been the cemetery of invaders, and it will be the cemetery of any new invaders,” he said. “The future of Israel is death and the future of this Ummah (Islamic nation) is life. Death to Israel,” said Nasrallah, whose party has been waging a protest campaign to force out the Western-backed Beirut government. On Monday, Bush deplored the civil unrest in Lebanon and warned that Iran, Syria and Hezbollah must be “called to account” for trying to destabilise the country. “They are the ones plotting a new conspiracy for a civil war in Lebanon,” retorted Nasrallah. “The Islamic Resistance declares that it will not be dragged into internal strife and fighting.” Seven people were killed and over 300 wounded in two days of riots last week, including street fighting that pitted Shi’ite opposition supporters against pro-government Sunnis. Leaders from both sides called for calm to avoid more bloodshed. “We refuse to resort to arms... the solution can only be political, and we back any initiative in order to resolve the matter,” Nasrallah said. “They (the US) accuse Hezbollah of spreading chaos in Lebanon... when it is George Bush and (US Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice who are the ones spreading chaos by ordering (Israeli) wars on Lebanon,” said Nasrallah. “George Bush wants to punish you (Hezbollah supporters) because you are resisting in an American era where it is banned for you to be victors and where life is only allowed for the subservents and humiliated,” he said. +++ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
