Appeal for resisting the Zionist occupier and defending our land, and people

Our Lebanese People:

The army of the Zionist enemy is continuing its
aggression against Lebanon for its third consecutive week.

From its very beginning stage, this aggression has taken
the form of a savage predatory war. Neither man nor stone
is safe from its fiery hell, nor are human and civil
institutions, the media, or the infrastructure. The Zionist
killing machine has most recently targeted even
international observers.

This savage raging storm that took as its pretext the
kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers has exceeded all
possible responses in such circumstances as it seeks to
wreak vengeance on Lebanon and its people in an attempt to
inflict the greatest possible harm to Lebanon under the
heading of destroying the military and command structure of
Hezbollah with the most intensely destructive and deadly
weapons and with the most cowardly and barbaric means. The
United States has revealed itself as a vicious and
shameless participant in this war. Its administration has
proclaimed openly that it
hopes to see the "dawn of a new Middle East," completing
its plan for seizing control of the region, its resources,
and the destinies of its people, a plan that was launched
with the American invasion of Iraq more than three years
ago.

Although the Zionist air force, navy, and artillery have
continued to kill and destroy they have failed to achieve
their assigned goals and so the Zionists have now been
compelled to launch a ground offensive, something they
have tried to avoid since their ignoble departure from
Lebanon in the year 2000. For a week now they have been
trying to advance in order to occupy Lebanese lands in
the district of Bint-Jbeil, specifically the Marun ar-Ras
junction, the town of Bint-Jbeil, and the surrounding area.
Those murderers are trying to occupy and desecrate our
holy land once again, to impose their conditions and the
conditions of their masters by means of the killing,
massacres, displacement, and destruction at which the
Zionist war machine excels in criminality and savagery.
And as usual, Washington is backing them up and
supporting them, even if that means that it must oppose
the whole world!

The viciousness of the aggression and the dangerous goals
it has set itself place serious responsibilities upon the
people of Lebanon: to repulse, resist, and frustrate its
aims. They also obligate the Lebanese government to
abandon the policy of complicity, complacency, or dreaming
about American or "international" protection.

The United States is a participant in the aggression and it
must be treated firmly on this basis.

The people and government must unite in the confrontation,
taking all the necessary stances and measures on the level
of policy, military action, security, and people’s
livelihood. To this end we need a real government of
national unity that distinguishes between Lebanon’s friends
and enemies in the light of the results of the aggression,
a government that constitutes a real backer and partner
with the heroes of the resistance who once again are the
makers of Lebanon’s glory, defending its land, sovereignty,
unity, and existence in the face of the criminal
American-Zionist war machine.

Our Lebanese People:

Israel is trying once again to occupy parts of the land of
Lebanon, to destroy its people, and its civilization.

The Islamic resistance continues to make heroic sacrifices
and score heroic victories. Our army is standing steadfast
after its officers and men were targeted in what amounted
to a cowardly assassination attempt. At this time duty to
the homeland calls on us to join in the resistance struggle
and stand up to the occupiers and their crimes. This is our
duty as political parties, leftist and democratic patriotic
forces, personalities, and fighters who once played an
honorable part in defending the homeland against
aggression, who in the Lebanese National Resistance Front
in 1982 and afterwards performed acts of heroism that our
people remember with pride and glory.

We call on our youth to bring back that experience, to take
inspiration from it, and build upon it, joining the
resistance struggle by standing steadfast in their
villages and towns. We call on them to take up arms and
meet the hordes of the aggressor in defense of our land,
our sovereignty, our people, and all things we hold sacred.

The homeland is passing through a historic stage. Our
people will triumph, bringing in the dawn of freedom,
sovereignty, and unity for our homeland and Arab nation,
vanquishing and routing all those who would plunder,
invade, and occupy.
