'Voices against Zionists are silenced'
Anyone who speaks out against Israel, the Intifada and Palestinians are silenced, Hizbullah head says in response to European Union's decision to stop broadcasting Hizbullah television channel
Every voice worldwide supporting the Palestinians, the Intifada and condemning the Zionist enemy - its massacre and actions - is silenced, Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said Saturday.
His remarks were in response to the European Union’s decision to bar Hizbullah's al-Manar television channel from being broadcasted in Europe.
Al-manar’s “sin” is that it supports the Intifada and the Palestinian problem, Nasrallah said.
“They stopped it from being broadcast not because of its (Hizbullah) political standing inside Lebanon, religious lessons, shows and movies,” he said. “They stopped it because of its determined stance to support the Palestinians.”
Nasrallah and Lebanon's Mufti meet
At a press conference following a meeting between Nasrallah and Lebanon’s Mufti Sheikh Mohammed Rasheed Kabbani, Nasrallah said Hizbullah’s disarmament is an internal Lebanese matter.
“Today they are telling us to become a political party," he said. "Tomorrow they’ll tell us you are a political party that issues a manifest against Israel, so you are a terror organization."
Nasrallah also said that the resistance, their protection of Lebanon and their use of weapons are all internal Lebanese issues, something that the U.S., European Union and the U.N's Security Council has no right to interfere with.
