'Hezbollah Won't Allow Anyone to Tarnish Resistance Image'


16/08/2010 The head of Hezbollah Juristic Council Sheikh Mohamad Yazbek stressed that the party won't allow anyone "to tarnish the image and reputation of the resistance."

While recalling that the Resistance has granted honor to Lebanon, Arabs, and all the nobles in the world, Sheikh Yazbek expressed belief that Hezbollah's duty was to defend itself when attacked through the international tribunal.

Sheikh Yazbek renewed the request to establish a Lebanese committee to follow up the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, expressing the Resistance's readiness to give in the data it has to the committee if established.

He said Hezbollah does not trust the international tribunal because it has ruled out Israel's involvement in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri.

"Lebanon is not Iraq, and Hezbollah will not allow stirring up internal disorder and seduction," Sheikh Yazbek said.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah official in the south Sheikh Nabil Qaouq said ignoring the evidence presented by Secretary-General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah means insistence on implementing Israel's strife projects in Lebanon.

The evidence that allegedly implicates Israel in ex-Premier Rafiq Hariri's assassination is enough to allow the investigation to take a new course, Sheikh Qaouq said during an Iftar. "Ignoring or neglecting this evidence means insistence on adopting the wrong path and insistence on Israeli strife projects," he said.

Sheikh Qaouq also said that four years after its victory, the resistance has become more efficient. "The resistance was able to make a 20-year-progress politically, militarily and on the popular level," he said, rebuffing Israeli claims that it would take Hezbollah 20 years backwards.
