Hezbollah denies involvement in Syrian crackdown

Share:

Hezbollah issued a statement on Thursday “strongly denying” reports that it is taking part in the crackdown against the pro-democracy protesters in Syria.

“Such allegations are completely baseless,” the party, which is allied with the ruling Syrian  regime, said.

It added that “such reports attempt to incite a political strife in order to serve…imperialist policies,” a reference to the West.

Several activists claimed that the Iranian backed Hezbollah is assisting the Syrian regime in its brutal crackdown against the protesters. ( See photo)

Activists say the Syrian government’s crackdown on pro-democracy and anti-regime protests has left more than 1,500 civilians dead. About three thousand Syrian have been listed as disappeared

    Well Hezzbolla .. it’s all about perception isn’t it? And you know why those people would perceive it to be true. You can’t clean up an image with words.

    It would not be a surprise if they were involved. But, until that is proven, their is not much can said about it. When the Syrian regime final comes to an end (all corrupt regimes do final fall – it just when) then those in power can present their prove that Hezbollah was involved in the murders of innocent Syrian civilians. And if prove is there, then get those murderers. In other words, Lebanon better be prepared to hand over any Lebanese citizens responsible in the murders, either to the newly democratic Syrian government. Or to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

    We  heard the  same claims  when the   Iranian  regime  crushed  its  opposition. It turned  out  to be a  lie,and I think  this is another  propaganda campaign.It is  a ridiculous  claim  to suggest that  Syria or Iran would need  HA  to  help  them crush  demonstrators.
     Non of the Arab  regimes  need  any  help to  crush demonstrations, they have enough brutal  force  to  do it  on their  own.

      first of all, the Iranian regime is not an Arab regime.  Unfortunately, they’re Iranian.  second of all, who told u Hezbelkhara helping out Iran in their crackdown is a lie??  Have u been watching a little too much Al Manar tv?? I’m an Iranian and we do recall very well that not all the Basij and riot police beating the protesters were of Iranian nationality….some were speaking and screaming in Arabic at our brave people fighting for their freedom……go figure!

        I know Iran is not an Arab  state,and I never  said  it was.
        Although I’m Sympathetic  to  Iranian opposition, I still don’t believe that Iran needed  few  hundred people  from HA in  order  to  crush  hundreds of thousands  of  protesters. It never made any  sense. The  fact that you  heard  Arabic speaking  security  people  does not  prove anything. You and I  know that  most  Iranians  in the  region of Arabstan  are  from  Arabic background.  Unexplained events  don’t  always prove  anything.

          then you do not believe as well that iranian security guards travel freely from iran to lebanon as long as they wished and as many times as they wished…i am sure they do not travel to lebanon and back to smoke arghileh..

          in mid 80’s it is known that many irani presidental guards have emigrated to lebanon to help train ‘the resistance” fighters…

          if you saw the footage of syrian revolution from the start, the hizb had a flag attached to their rifles belts to distinguish them from syrian army and security thugs…they were mainly snipers.

          as for the irani revolution, there are many accounts i have read that stated that Hizbollah helped the police in the crackdown…some different reasons ranging from more brutality to so community does not go after them after revolution because they were foreigners.

          Your missing the fact that by bringing in HA the regime is so they dont hesitate when told to shoot protestors. Iranians being told to kill Iranians would possibly lead to troop defections and the mullahs will not take that chance.And squash it they did.They murdered and abused and locked them away in prison,and put any leaders on permanent house arrest. There are still flickers of hope though,underground …. It will be a historic day when the Iranians take back their country from these homicidal monsters.
          Lebanon needs to get rid of HA.Period.
          March 14 and all the Lebanese should act immediately and put pressure on the new cabinet until it resigns.

          And what are your sources for proving that “HA” did not help the Iranian government in their crackdown?? Al Manar TV?  u receiving your news about Iran from Press TV in Tehran…the government’s TV station that has people tortured if they don’t say what they want them to say…?  Believe what you want.  Some people don’t want to accept the truth.  And Arabs are only 3% of Iran’s total population and almost all of them live in the Khuzestan province which Saddam Hussein tried to steal from us during the Iran-Iraq War in the 80s.  They are known as Ahvazis and I can assure you that of all the Iranians, you find the most anti-government feelings among these people as well as other ethnic minorities like the Kurds.  So your theory that the Arabic speakers beating protesters were “Iranian Arabs” just shows you don’t really know how Iran works…
          The Iranian goverment had every reason to use “HA” to help them in their crackdown.  They knew foreigners would be less sympathetic and more vicious toward demonstrators. They know some Iranians will be reluctant to kill their own people.  Brainwashing doesn’t always work enough.  And what better foreigners to use than HA, the Khameini dogs of Lebanon.  The Lebanese Shias should be supporting their Iranian Shia brothers and sisters against this ruthless regime but so many of the  Lebanese Shias were too busy throwing big celebrations for Ahmadinejad when he visited Lebanon last October.  They should have been protesting against this fool if they real cared about their Iranian Shia brothers and sisters. He gives us all a bad name. I think the Sunnis and Christians of Lebanon sympathize more with us than our own Shia brothers.  But then again, we must not forget that all the Lebanese Shias who support “HA” love Ahmadinejad and the Khameini regime because they know the day Iran’s regime falls, HA’s days as the bullies of Lebanon are over….nobody to run to anymore if something goes wrong.  It is this reason that HA militants are willing to do anything their masters in Tehran tell them…

        People these days watch the ‘News Shows’ that agree with them, I think. It’s a form of entertainment mostly – for advertising $$ … and if run by a government you can be sure it’s slightly coloured. People should flip channels more often.
