Hezbollah says that "resistance" is more important than Lebanon's survival

 The head of Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement’s Executive Council ruled out any possibility for Lebanon to normalize ties with the Zionist regime of Israel.

Referring to some media speculations about the issue as fake and misleading, Syed Hashim Safi Al Dinsaid (Safieddine) said.  “We will never accept Lebanon’s move on that path,” Al-Ahed News reported.

He said those talking about normalization seek to stop the activities of the resistance in the name of saving the country.

That's a hell of a statement. He's saying that the survival of an extra-governmental terrorist army is more important than the very survival of Lebanon! 

He also claimed that "orders came from the kings and princes that everyone must follow the path of normalization" but the proud Lebanese people would never do it:  "How could they want the resistance front’s fighters, families of martyrs and Lebanon’s noble people to join those who shamefully normalized relations with the Israeli regime?"
Then comes the real punchline: 
Safieddine also said that those who try to portray the resistance as the one responsible for Lebanon’s woes are ill-wishers and serve the enemies.

Lebanon ought to rely on itself and its strong army and its economy should be independent, he went on to say.
The movement that does everything it can to make Lebanon an Iranian satellite claims it wants Lebanon to be independent!

Another Hezbollah leader spoke yesterday:
Hizbullah central council member Sheikh Nabil Qaouq on Sunday lashed out at what he called “the Arabism that is allied with the Israeli enemy.”

“The Arabism that is allied with the Israeli enemy is an American Arabism that doesn’t belong to us and we don’t belong to,” Qaouq said during a memorial service in the southern town of Kfar Tebnit.
The cynical commenters on Naharnet were quick to respond: "and who the .... are you to define and classify Arabism?! An Iranian terrorist!"
