Hezbollah leader vows to confront Israel, liberate 'every inch' of occupied land
Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem on Monday rejected Lebanon's planned direct talks with Israel, calling them a "grave sin" that will destabilize Lebanon, as he vowed to end the Israeli occupation of south Lebanon.
Qassem said Hezbollah will not give up its arms and people will return to their lands, vowing that Israeli troops will not remain on "a single inch of our occupied land".
"We categorically reject direct negotiations with Israel, and those in power should know that their actions will not benefit Lebanon or themselves," Qassem said in a statement, calling on authorities to "back down from their grave sin that is putting Lebanon in a spiral of instability".
"These direct negotiations and their outcomes are as if they do not exist for us, and they do not concern us in the slightest," he added, saying "we will continue our defensive resistance for Lebanon and its people".
"No matter how much the enemy threatens, we will not back down, we will not bow down, and we will not be defeated."

God bless our Shia Iranian resistance aka Hezbollah for categorically rejecting direct negotiations with Israel. Our Iranian resistance has brought the Israeli and American enemies to their knees. They are begging for a cease fire and unconditional surrender. Israeli cities are in total destruction, Israeli soldiers are deserting their field positions in droves, and Israeli citizens are on the streets demonstrating and demanding unconditional surrender to our blessed resistance.

Bless what. The total destruction of Lebanon for the Shia people. They can go home to Iran and Iraq. Otherwise stay the hell out Lebanese people way of trying to live in peace. Look at Iran and see the Shia people there protesting the Islamic way of life. If you like that kind of life move to Iran and help kill the citizens who protest. The Iranian need more Hezbollah and Iraqi people to help control the protest aka kill the protesters!!!!!

Wow so all the flattening of towns same as Gaza where no human being can live in has brought America and Israel to their knees and begging for peace. Hezb leadership need to be thrown in jail including Kasem and repay for every family for the massive destruction of their properties.

Looks like the Shiites will soon have to support themselves, with Iran trying to rebuild itself after the beating from American and Israeli forces. No more money to the Shiites, looks like they will have to get jobs and stop having so many children. Who is going to feed them now!!! Not Iran and not Lebanon. Best solution is they go home to Iran and Iraq. Bye bye !!!!!!!!!

Kassem speaks as if he and his militia run Lebanon. They are no more than rebels who are officially outlawed, hence anything they say is considered worthless and meaningless, to say the least.
