Hezbollah issued a statement on Thursday condemning the US sanctions against Syria and accusing the US of targeting Syria because of its support for the resistance against Israel.

“The imposition of US sanctions on Syria and the attempt to target Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a political decision that has no relation to human rights,” the statement said.

“The sanctions are a punishment against Syria and its people for supporting the Resistance and Palestine against Israel and the US,” the statement added.

The statement added that US interference “will not stop the Syrian people and its leadership from committing to the righteous causes of the nation.”

The United States imposed sanctions on Assad and six other top aides for human rights abuses on Wednesday in a dramatic escalation of pressure on Syria to cease its brutal crackdown on protesters.

In addition to Assad, the Treasury said the sanctions would target Vice President Farouq al-Shara ( pictured with Assad, Prime Minister Adel Safar, Interior Minister Mohammad Ibrahim al-Shaar, Defense Minister Ali Habib as well as Abdul Fatah Qudsiya, the head of Syrian military intelligence, and Mohammed Dib Zaitoun, director of the political security directorate.

In his Middle East policy speech on Thursday , President Barack Obama said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad faces the choice of either leading a democratic transition in his country or getting out of the way.

I condemn Hezbollah for condemning the US for condemning Syria. That’s a lot of condemning

PS: Typical hypocritical statement by Hezbollah, only supporting the Bahraini protests but very quiet on Syria and Iran. They know well their end is coming near.

I am not opposed to the syrian prime minister. i do oppose violence against its citizens. I am not opposed to the syrian people, I love them but I did not love the atrocities committed by the syrian troops while they were supposed to be keeping the peace. i was shot at for driving through a syrian army checkpoint in my own villiage by syrian troops which is nothing compared to what other people suffered at the hands of some of the more ignorant troops. But can I really blame them? No, they were a bunch of uneducated teens and young adults conscripted for 3 years into the syrian army just trying to pass the time and make their days more interesting. How is one supposed to deal with another human being when all you have is experience rounding up goats and sheep? or lugging bricks and mortar up a steep hill? That’s what most of the conscripts were and even worse, some did not even possess these experiences.

What’s wrong with rounding up goats and sheep? It builds character …..:)

So OK, you are a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and how many times you are going to cry wolf? I mean come on! WAKE UP PEOPLE, LOOK YOURSELVES IN THE MIRROR, AND DRINK SOME COFFEE OR WHATEVER MAKES YOU ALERT AND HAPPY.

So, what else is new Hezbollah? We all know what your game is. NOT FOR LEBANESE INTERESTS AND WELL BEING. You are Iranian puppets, and Syria’s job is to forge the chains to keep you slaves for Iran and make sure you don’t run away.

Give it up for Lebanon’s sake. If you really care for truly Lebanese interests, forge a LEBANESE UNITY AGAINST ALL ENEMIES OF LEBANON, AND DON’T USE ISRAEL AS A SCAPE GOAT FOR FOREIGN INTERESTS. WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER TO ACHIEVE COMMON LEBANESE GOAL. NOT IRANIAN GOAL.

There is nothing wrong with rounding up sheep and goats but if you try to use the same tactics and character building techniques on actual people, then it is bound to backfire.
