If John Kerry is appointed as the next U.S. Secretary of State, Hezbollah would stand to benefit greatly and bring benefit to others, should it meet the new Secretary halfway. Hezbollah is a national liberation movement combatting Israeli terrorism. The resistance it engages in is legitimate in all the laws of heaven and the Earth, as long as there is an occupation. However, the U.S. administration has designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, while turning a blind eye to Israel's terrorism and projecting its crimes onto its enemies. There is a Likud-leaning American-Israeli cabal of evil that fabricates charges against all resistance movements. This means that it is the duty of every resistance faction not to facilitate the task of this gang. If we take Hezbollah as an example, with the same thing applying to Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, then Hezbollah must assert every day that the confrontation with Israel is only taking place on the battlefield, so that it may not be accused of all terror attacks abroad, from Argentina to Bulgaria. The evil cabal spoke recently about “information" alleging that Hezbollah is planning for terrorist attacks in Europe. Hezbollah would not carry out such attacks, but the lies are motivated by the fact that the European countries, unlike the U.S., are not convinced with the claims regarding Hezbollah's external activities, and some refuse to designate the group as a terrorist organization. Today, there is another opportunity to accuse Hezbollah, which is the presence of its' fighters in Syria. I had called on Hezbollah once to disengage from the Syrian regime, and I do that even now. I have many reasons for this, most importantly the fact that the regime may fall soon, and we do not want a national resistance movement to lose along with this regime. Furthermore, the regime is accused of committing war crimes, not only by the U.S., but also by the United Nations and its specialized agencies in many reports. Hezbollah would suffer great harm if it were to be blamed for some of the regime's crimes against civilians, and this would make it easier for the pro-Israel cabal to make accusations against it of terrorism stick. It follows from the above that the civil war in Syria has begun to take a sectarian turn. Since Hezbollah is a Shiite party that relies on support from Iran, it makes it easier for others to accuse it of siding with one religious community against another. I would have preferred it if Hezbollah distanced itself from Iran these days, to avoid the enmity of the Gulf countries to it, or to the Lebanese Shiites working there, because of the sharp confrontation between these countries and Iran. However, I am aware that the party cannot and would not move away from Iran, so all I ask of it is to declare stances that reassure Gulf States that it is not a partner of Iran against them. This brings me back to what I said in the beginning and my call on Hezbollah to make it clear for everyone that it is a national liberation movement fighting Israel only in the battlefield, and has no other causes or wars in the Arab world or outside it. My experience with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt tells me that they are thin-skinned and cannot bear any criticism, no matter how small or big. So I hope that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah will be more accommodating when I tell him that I was not very impressed when he ostensibly addressed al-Qaeda in Syria, and warned against the Islamists fighting one another. Nasrallah also referred to the miscalculations by the regime's opponents, but he seems to have also fallen prey to these miscalculations, since he fails to see how different the Syrian situation is compared to what it was like in the beginning. Al-Qaeda is a terrorist organization, and Nasrallah would gain a lot if he attacks it unequivocally and accuses it of terrorism, while declaring his opposition to its methods and distancing himself from it. Indeed, al-Qaeda kills Muslims when it finds no “Jews and Crusaders" to murder, and were it not for the terrorist attacks it orchestrated on 11/9/2001, the million Arabs and Muslims killed in the wars of George W. Bush would have been spared – wars that were incited by the neocons who deliberately falsified the premises for the war with the help of some Iraqi traitors. The pro-Israel cabal will find it extremely difficult to convince a Secretary like John Kerry to choose to clash with Hezbollah, while the latter proclaims that its activities are restricted to the battlefield, and if it accuses al-Qaeda of terrorism and distances itself from it. Senator Kerry's nomination is being met with huge opposition from the pro-Israel cabal, because its' track record obviously shows that he prefers diplomacy, and he needs deeds and words to justify his policy that is far from confrontation and clashes. Since he has 30 years of experience in Congress, particularly in foreign policy, no one can fool him. I will remain a realist and not ask Hezbollah to shed its own skin, but only to do what would benefit Lebanon, the Arabs and the Muslims, as well as the party itself, before benefiting anyone else.
