All Hezbollah related subjects in this thread

[Learned]

The Resistance never once claimed that they have SAM's or the capability to down Israeli jets. Whether they do or not, this is not something that they will announce openly, just like they never spoke of the anti-ship missiles before they were utilized in July 2006. Just as the case was then, Israel today does not have a clear idea about Hezbollah's armament and weapons systems. The talk about SAM's in Hezbollah's arsenal is nothing but speculation on the part of some, who want to give Israel a pretext for increased violation and aggression against Lebanese territory, or perhaps even a new context to launch another war. At this point it is nothing but blind speculation. We should not do the Israelis a service by adopting this rhetoric openly and treating it as if it is a reality on the ground. The only context in which the weapons of the resistance should be revealed is when they are utilized to defend the country. Until they, the element of surprise and secrecy should be preserved.

What was the International community's response during and after the 1967, 1973 wars & the 1982 invasion of Lebanon?

The international community's condemnation of Israel's military actions won't help Lebanon in any means possible...

Now, if HA does the same, then the story changes. Common sense, my friend, common sense.

When did Israel justify any of its military actions?

The balance of terror that exists now on both sides of our southern borders is what is keeping Israeli military actions in check and not the international community, the Arab league or the Vatican ....

Military action against Lebanese Republic will be also tolerated, Just check what happened in 1982 (Israeli invasion), the latest air strike against Syrian Target, the 1983 Airstrike against Iraqi Target, in addition to many more events, Israel doesn't care about international law, we know that from History, now if part of the lebanese people choose to turn a blind eye to our history with Israel thats fine, but no one can force the people of the south from having the right to protect and defend themselves .

In addition, don't you find it a little bit Ironic that an enemy state, or even a friendly state, decides if your country should or shouldn't have AA missles ??

In all articles its Israel which is threatening war, how did you change the topic to be against HA ? all what HA is doing is buying a defensive weapon to help drop some hostile Airplanes, what's wrong with that ??

The Lebanese will pay again for Iran's sins, and HA will parade in Dahieh for another "Divine" victory.

HA obtaining anti-aircraft weapon system while the LA is denied such a priviledge is something to be happy about...

Lebanon didn't have Saniora at that time, now with him on board an attack won't be tolerated !

To whom it may concern;

you might want to check the Israeli reaction to the weapons donation to the LA from the US: US supplies the army with Anti-tank rockets and other arms

in the mean time we have a Lebanese resistance who can actually defend us, walla you don't consider it Lebanese?

even the humvees they gave/sold us don't have armor plating.

[Red Phoenix]

so let me get this straight, for some of our lebanese compatriots here the fact that HA might be getting AA is considered a declaration if war on israel or at least a justifiable provokation??

walla that is something, AA in the hands of the Hizb is taboo becuz it might be used against another invading israeli army while the b7s and ak47s in the hands of salafist militias in the north cleansing that region of other lebanese is of way lesser concern.

i like that logic, if only some lebanese would get israeli passport and be done with it..
go help arm the national army instead of arming ur own militias while u criticize the hizb first. hypocrisy at its cutest.

israel make fair peace with us or else forget about ur constant bullying ba2a.
