Hizbullah Rep in Iran: We'll Walk into Palestine Once the Americans Leave Iraq
Hizbullah Representative in Iran Abdallah Safialdeen:
Hizbullah Will Not Need a Large-Scale War, It Will Be Able to Walk into
Palestine Once the Americans Leave Iraq
The following are excerpts from an address by Abdallah Safialdeen, Hizbullah's
representative in Iran, which aired on Iranian Channel 4 on March 4, 2007.
Abdallah Safialdeen: The day that Hizbullah won the war shaped the future of
the region. It led to what we are witnessing today: America's actions, the
domestic problems of the Zionist regime, the confusion of Europe. The
Europeans are very confused now, and don't know what to do. The horse that
they put their money on - Israel - can no longer fulfill the role it played
in the past. America has not had any success anywhere in the region. In our
opinion, the harbinger of this lack of success was the victory of Hizbullah,
the bitter defeat of the Zionist regime, and its incompetence in the region.
You should know that. Do you know what an American withdrawal from Iraq will
mean? It will mean that Israel will lose its support. It will mean that the
Lebanese Hizbullah will not need a large-scale war in order to enter
Palestine. Hizbullah will be able to simply walk into Palestine. Rest
assured that the day the American forces leave Iraq, the Israelis will leave
the region along with them. What was one of the reasons for Olmert's recent
visit to America? He went there in order to say to the Democrats: "Don't say
that the American army will leave Iraq, because this would mean the
annihilation of the Zionist regime." This is because the annihilation of the
Zionist regime has begun. Like some of our friends say, Palestine is no
longer a problem for us, because the Americans will be forced to leave Iraq.
With or without a war against Iran, they will be forced to do so. The moment
they leave Iraq, you, the Muslims of the world, can walk into Palestine,
because Israel will no longer exist. It will be over and done with. Even
with America's [help], Israel could not do a thing. The Americans will be
kicked out of the region, without accomplishing anything. The American
forces will be kicked out of the region, in disgrace, humiliation, and
defeat. Therefore, this victory was very important. It was a landmark in the
history of the Islamic world and the entire region.
