Resistance has been the real game-changer during the last decades of Mideast history, starting from the glorious liberation war of October in 1973, passing through the heroic resistance of the Syrian Army, Lebanese and Palestinian freedom fighters in the face of the Israeli repeated aggressions against Lebanon and Gaza Strip, and not to mention the 2003 US crazy and futile invasion of Iraq.
The ongoing global war against Syria can be considered to a large extent as part of the western bids, backed unfortunately by the ewes and their petrodollars, to punish the Syrians for their unwavering support to the Resistance.
Thus, Israel has been coordinating its aggressive policy and strikes against Syria even with al-Qaeda affiliates! Israel, however, is the only loser in such a crazy suicidal coordination and strikes. Syria is definitely to retaliate against any further Israeli foolish attack, and through a strategic response, given the prevailing ”clear popular pressure for opening the Golan Front to Resistance,” as H.E. President Bashar Al-Assad pointed out in his recent interview with Al-Manar TV.
With this in mind, Hezbollah Resistance is indeed recognized as the bastion of every genuine freedom fighter worldwide. The majority of the Syrians do consider themselves, given the increasing developments, foreign involvement and escalations in the ongoing crisis in Syria, not only as Hezbollah mongers, but as active members in this great Party of God. The principles national Arab stances taken by Hezbollah, at least from a moral perspective, in support of the Syrian safety, integrity and steadfastness against the salafist and takfiri terrorism of al-Qaeda do deserve every appreciations, and gratitude. It is the real brotherhood and unity against the continued sinister Israeli bids-unfortunately backed by some Arab States and ewes, to stifle the Resistance.
”Our Army will fight the enemy wherever it is. When the enemy is in the north, we move north; the same applies if the enemy comes from the east or the west. This is also the case for Hezbollah. So the question is why is Hezbollah deployed on the borders inside Lebanon or inside Syria? The answer is that our battle is a battle against the Israeli enemy and its proxies inside Syria or inside Lebanon,” underlined H.E. President Al-Assad in the same interview. The Resistance is indeed a political, ideological, and social issue, with the net result being military action. ”A state does not create Resistance. Resistance can only be called so, when it is popular and spontaneous, it cannot be created. The state can either support or oppose the Resistance, – or create obstacles, as is the case with some reckless Arab countries.
The majority does pin hopes on Resistance fighters to remind the Arab people, through their achievements, that our enemy is still the same, Israel and terrorists. Syria, as H.E. President Al-Assad reiterated, ”will always remain, even more so than before, supportive of the resistance and resistance fighters everywhere in the Arab world.”
