Hezbollah's Qassem warns new Syria rulers against Israel ties

W460

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said on Saturday that Syria's new rulers, who ousted the Lebanese armed group's ally Bashar al-Assad, should not recognize neighboring Israel or establish ties with it.

"We hope that this new party in power will see Israel as an enemy and not normalize relations with it," Qassem said in a televised speech, his first public remarks since Islamist-led rebels toppled Assad following an offensive launched on November 27, the same day that a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect.

Qassem admitted that his group can no longer be supplied militarily through Syria.

"Hezbollah lost a military supply line via Syria," Qassem said in a televised address in which he added that "the resistance must adapt to the circumstances."

The era of Hezbollah's hegemony is over. This fool needs to be eliminated also. I'm sure the Israelis will take care of him sooner than later.

So now the coin has been flipped and instead of Syria threatening Lebanon, Lebanon is threatening Syria. What will happen next, Hizballah will attack Syria?

It's a matter of time before your location is found and you will follow the rest. This type of people only understand force the same thing as the israeli. as i said in another thread, you want to fight them then use alternate methods or game instead of war.

There are five stages of grief: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Naim Qassem and Hezbollah are still at the denial stage with one foot somewhere between anger and bargaining. They cannot even publicly mourn the death of Hassan Nasrallah. They worry that doing this will wake their community to the extent of the massive defeat and the monumental disaster Hezbollah brought onto them.
