Hezb must take its own to heart
DO the Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon realize the extent of the havoc they have wrought on the lives of some of their compatriots who reside in the GCC and serve as their representatives?
Do they understand that thousands of these compatriots migrated abroad in search of greener pastures due to the economic hardship which they have created?Hezbollah has developed the habit of planting several innocent people to serve as agents of Iran since the 1980s, after its creation by the Iranian “Revolutionary Guards.” It has continued to send these people to several countries inhabited by a large number of Lebanese such as Brazil, Uruguay and some GCC states. Members of this group have committed unforgivable crimes without considering the strong support received by Lebanon from the GCC. Most of their supporters have concentrated on Southern Lebanon, in addition to spending a large amount of money on construction activities after a series of Israeli attacks caused by the “Iranian Agents Party.”
The outcry of Hezbollah over the so-called UAE deportees was not needed if the reason leading to the incident is considered. They did not react to the deportation of their compatriots from some African nations due to a few security lapses in these states. Why did they publicize the issue? Why did the Assistant Secretary General of the Hezbollah take up the issue on which he sent a series of messages? The issue was not limited to the occupation of the UAE islands by Iran without regard for the constitutional rights of the UAE. A minority of the Lebanese citizens serving as Hezbollah agents were those who endorsed its principles to tarnish the radiant political and economic image of the UAE. The action taken by the UAE was also based on constitutional violations and money laundering, and the group reacted because it lost a major source of funding and information.
The UAE took a decisive step because those who are hurt once do not fall into the same pit twice. It, therefore, retaliated to a series of crimes committed by Hezbollah members in some GCC states including Kuwait in the 1980s, to prevent the recurrence of such events. The UAE deported the bad elements, who could have destroyed others, back to their sources. Hassan Nasrallah spoke about the so-called “clean” money he had collected from his adventures in 2006 and which was pocketed by the group’s leaders while the masses continued to live in hardship. The GCC did not hesitate in the least before extending a helping hand to Lebanon. They rebuilt villages and covered the education expenses of students across Lebanon.
Now, Hezbollah faces the litmus test of sincerity. Why did it not compensate those it had intended to place in the GCC, if it really meant to ensure a life of peace and tranquility for these citizens? Is its role limited to using people and then dumping them without a backward glance? Don’t the agents in the GCC deserve a share of the compensation received by billionaire Salah Ezz Al-Din for the so-called victims of bankruptcy?
