Hizbullah Competes Israel in Lebanon”s Elections
Hizbullah on Saturday said the forthcoming elections in Lebanon would be a competition between the resistance and Israel.
The head of Hizbullah”s parliamentary bloc Mohammed Raad, addressing an Ashoura gathering in the southern town of Nabatiyeh, said the 2009 elections "would be an extension of the July (2006) war."
"Those who could not overthrow resistance weapons by force, by air force and by shelling have illusions that they are capable of overthrowing them by elections by controlling the majority that would demand disarming the resistance," Raad explained.
"You should decide on this. We would not intervene," Raad told voters. "If you want to overthrow the resistance this would happen by refraining from voting."
"But if you adhere to the resistance … express this adherence in the voting ballots in the forthcoming elections. It is as simple as that," Raad added.
