Hizbullah Official Says Trump Embassy Decision ‘Worthless’

W460

Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem stated that the decision of U.S. President Donald Trump to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem was “worthless,” LBCI reported on Monday.

“Trump’s decision to move the embassy is worthless. Last week's attacks on Israeli positions in the Golan Heights affirmed balance of deterrence,” said Qassem.

The Hizbullah official stressed saying: “Currently, the goal is to liberate all of Palestine. We want the people of the region to be able to create their own future.”

“Syria has always supported Palestine, that’s why they tried to destroy it,” he went on to say.

Lashing out at Arab countries that have normalized relations with Israel, he said: “Arab countries that have normalized relations with Israel, have always been a burden on the Palestinian cause with their oil, thrones and emirates.”

Qassem's remarks come as the U.S. prepares to move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem later Monday after months of global outcry, Palestinian anger and exuberant praise from Israelis over President Donald Trump's decision tossing aside decades of precedent.

The inauguration that follows Trump's December 6 recognition of the disputed city as Israel's capital also comes at a time of heightened regional tensions.

Absolutely, and Yarmuk Palestinian refugee camp near Damascus is testimony to that support.

'The Hizbullah official stressed saying: “Currently, the goal is to liberate all of Palestine."

And when do you plan on achieving this goal? Or you save your ballistic missiles to fire at KSA?

Two weeks ago, the same terrorist said:

If he does not intend on starting a war with Israel then how is he going to liberate all of Palestine?
Sweet talk Israel maybe?

'scuse me Shekh Naiim but I don't think deterrence means what you think it means, didn't in Lebanon, doesn't here. You see hajj, deterrence is the action of discouraging an action or event through instilling doubt or fear of the consequences. It means you do something that makes your opponent stop doing what they were doing. Israel bombs Iranian positions in Syria, complete with the Iranians in them, multiple times. In return the Iranians promised divine cataclysmic retaliation going so far as to claim they can destroy Israel in 45 minutes, the fanboys believed. After a while even the fanboys started to doubt. So an embarrassed Iran dusted off some vintage WWII rockets threw them at the Israeli Golan positions. Some found their target, some were intercepted and some fell in Syria. Undeterred the Israelis immediately kill almost 40 assorted Jihadists including 11 Iranians.

I see his point. Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain etc. need to become more like Syria and Lebanon. Hard to understand why those countries are not coming along.
