Hezbollah pays tribute to Egyptian protesters

The Iranian and Syrian backed Hezbollah, a strong critic of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his ties with Israel, saluted on Monday protesters who are “combating and resisting” the Egyptian president.

“We should pay tribute to the proud Egyptian people for their combat and resistance by their rejection of normalizing relations with Israel and for their aspiration to freedom, independence and dignity,” Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem said in a statement.

Hezbollah angered Mubarak by accusing Egypt of complicity with Israel during the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip in late 2008.

In 2010, Egyptian courts sentenced 26 people for allegedly planning attacks on behalf of Hezbollah. The arrests strained relations between predominantly Egypt, and Hezbollah’s backer, Iran, with Cairo accusing Tehran of using the movement to gain a foothold in Egypt.

Did Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem paid tribute to the Iranian protesters last year, who were protesting their government?

Why would Hezbollah honor the Protesters in Iran after all these protesters would take away the rights of Hezbollah to Money and training. The protesters where complaining that their gov’t is helping HA more than helping their own people.
So ya double standard of course on HA part anyway wanting freedom for areas where they gov’t is their enemy.
HA is supporting Syria all these years yet Syria destroyed Lebanon more than Israel have. So what makes you think HA is going to go against Syria or Iran..

Hezbollah: Yeah, let’s have democracy in Egypt, but make sure the dictatorship in Syria and Iran continues. And in the process, let’s make sure that Lebanon can not free itself from the “Resistance” that the majority of Lebanese know it’s just another way of keeping them serfs of Syria and Iran.
Hezbolla sent their thugs to help massacre the freedom and democracy seeking Iranians after the Iranian “elections”.

I can’t wait to see what the Hezbollah thugs have in store for the freedom-seeking Syrians on Friday. Let’s hope the Syrian Druze show up and give Hezbollah a reminder of what humiliating defeat tastes like.

The next few weeks will be the start of something bigger than what is happening. Wait when Russia, China and others get in the picture. At this point it is play school, the people who sit and listen to all the crap that is feed to them on Tv and from newsgroups and think that all this is about OIL.
The next step we need is more hate in this world because we do not have enough of it.
It,s been like this for years and people think a change of government or group or person will make a change to the life of these people NO! NO!! it will be a round about reaction.

next revolution is the Islamic women revolution against the muslim men who placed them as second degree human beings, as a piece of meat to be sold and bought when they get married and divorced by using three worlds. The rise of freedom will come at the hand of Muslim women eventually that had enough from the dark ages evil doers the Taliban to the sstanic sect of Wahhabist to the legal prostitution of the mullah and their pleasure marriages . Women will rule eventually

Iranian people are fed up to the point where they are being sent to hand for participating in protests. Yet, you condone these and salute the opposite in Egypt.

Dear Sayyed Hassan, you are nothing but a hypocrite and according to Islam, hypocrites are in the lowest levels of hell.

And Pretty Soon Hezbollah will be honoring the Naval Base Iran will be ready to establish in Lebanon in order to fight Israel within close range. Thank you Hezbollah for bringing the Mullahs to our homeland and honoring them as if they’re the Gods Of Lebanon. Thank you Hezbollah for working to weaken the Sunnis so you can be the main power in the Middle East. But the tables will turn on you inshallah soon.

The sickening Lebanese left who are in bed with theocrats and dictators are prostituted in believing in the anti U.S./zionist cause, cheering for the ousting of Mubarak and defending Assad and the Iranian regime. Bunch of hypocrites.
