Nasrallah on Syria | As‘ad AbuKhalil

Hezbollah decided that the talk of reform is now irrelevant and that there is a regional and international war going on and that Hezbollah is up to the challenge. There is one line in that speech that summarizes the long speech. In it, Nasrallah declared its party’s readiness to fight. Nasrallah basically said that defending the Syrian regime is now part of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
But Hezbollah has yet again displayed disregard for the suffering of the Syrian people. How could Nasrallah express sympathy for the dead henchmen of the regime – even if they rendered services to Hezbollah in its fight against Israel – and not express sympathy for the any of the civilian victims of the regime? Hezbollah, like all allies of the Syrian regime in Lebanon from the Phalanges in 1976 to Jumblatt and Hariri and many others, never really expressed concerns for the welfare of the Syrian people.
