Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah said Tuesday that Arabs were not “red Indians” and will not be liquidated or driven into exile by Israel and the United States.
Speaking at a graduation ceremony in Haret Hreik, Nasrallah said that “Christian Zionists” were gaining strength and had a powerful impact on US foreign policy. Nasrallah alleged that oil companies and weapons firms that have financed the “Christian Zionists,” the Arabic term for the right-wing Christian supporters of Israel, were in alliance in the United States.
“Their goal is to redraw the world’s political map,” he said. “It is said that several US presidents are affiliated with the Christian Zionists.” Nasrallah said their aim was to return the Jews to Israel and rebuild their temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70AD, over the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
However, Nasrallah added, “if they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.”
Nasrallah also spoke about US hegemony in the region, asserting that Washington had reached “a new level of insanity and arrogance.” “Although the United States is powerful, it has its weaknesses,” he said. Nasrallah also said that he was not threatened by a country that called itself “great,” and where its national security is threatened by one or two individuals.
“The US empire, which is slithering over our region, is incapable of arresting a single sniper in its capital,” he said sarcastically.
He said that during his recent trip to the United States, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon claimed that Hizbullah had missiles with a range of 300 kilometers. “Instead of putting pressure on us, this scared the (Israeli) people, who feared that we would be able to hit them anywhere in (occupied Palestine) and not only in northern Israel,” Nasrallah said.
