[An Nahar] Hizbullah on Sunday announced that it will not neglect the issue of protecting Lebanese residents who live in border towns inside Syria, stressing that "there will be no solution in Syria except through politics and dialogue.""To those screaming that the state should be in charge of defending its people: Has the state protected and defended the Lebanese residents who live inside Syria?" head of Hizbullah's religious committee Sheikh Mohammed Yazbek said.
| If they're Lebanese, they aren't really Syria's people, though, are they? |
Addressing the residents, Yazbek went on to say: "Excuse them, they are busy with the electoral laws, showoffs and the blocking of roads, but we will not overlook your plight and we will remain loyal. We will stand on the side of right and the side of the aggrieved."
"We are not attacking anyone but we will not allow anyone to attack us. We cannot stand idly by as our people, women and kiddies are being aggrieved. We cannot tolerate to be uprooted from the land we have inhabited for tens of years as long as there is blood in our veins," Yazbek added.
