In a recent statement to Al-Jazeera, Hezbollah leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah claimed that Hezbollah rockets can reach all of Israel, which he identified using the term, "occupied Palestine". In the 34 day conflict last summer between Israel and Hezbollah, Hezbollah launched approximately 4,000 rockets into Israel, none of which struck Tel Aviv. Now they claim that they could have struck it last summer but chose not to. Now Hezbollah claims they have upwards of 33,000 rockets available.
Nasrallah defiantly stated, "We in the resistance have weapons, and we openly declare that we have weapons, that we are completing our preparedness for a greater and more dangerous stage".
After reading this, maybe you could help answer a question for me. Why are trying to broker a land for piece deal with these people after they have clearly shown us once again what their true intentions really are?
Nasrallah referred to Israel as "occupied Palestine". That means he believes that Israel rightly belongs to the Palestinians and the mere presence of Israelis on their land constitutes and act of war. Their one and only goal is the destruction of Israel and its return to the Palestinian people, the same people who target and murder innocent Israelis with rocket strikes and kidnap and illegally detain Israeli soldiers.
Based on Nasrallah's statements, we know what their goal is and also how they plan to obtain it. They will surely choose an incident that they can exploit and again launch rockets into Israel in an attempt to strike fear into the hearts of the Israelis and kill some of them in the process. We must not attempt to broker deals between the righteous and the hate filled terrorists. We should continue to support Israel as an ally and only legitimate non-Islamic government in the region.
