In his latest speech, Hezbollah's secretary general tried to refute the accusation of sectarianism against him because of his fighters' taking part in protecting the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. He said he is not staging a Shiite war in Al-Qusayr, but rather participating in the ongoing war there to protect “the Resistance's back" since the Syrian regime is the shield of this Resistance and the pioneer of the “reluctance" axis in the region; In the absence of this regime, Hezbollah will become an orphan. This position ignores a reality that everyone in and outside the region knows: the regimes of Al-Assad junior and senior have condoned the Israeli occupation of the Syrian lands for forty years. This does not make of the Syrian regime a resisting regime, and makes it hard to justify the saying that Syria is the protector of the “reluctance" axis. Not only did this regime remain silent in the face of the Israeli raids against its lands and the Israeli infiltration of its skies, but it also failed to protect Imad Mughniyeh, one of the most prominent Resistance leaders who was killed in Damascus. The Syrian regime also prevented Hezbollah from taking part in the investigations that were allegedly conducted into Mughniyeh's assassination, the results of which haven't surfaced yet although five years have passed since the assassination. The war in which the Hezbollah fighters are taking part in Syria has nothing to do with the liberation war they staged in South Lebanon. Nasrallah gave his latest speech on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of his victory in that war. The liberation war in Syria must be fought in the Golan Heights rather than in Al-Qusayr, the East Gouta, and Damascus. Had Hezbollah fought that war and had it pushed the Syrian army to take part in it prior to and throughout the Syrian revolution, the party would not have been criticized for using its weapons and fighters in a sectarian war to support one sect against another one. Hezbollah would not have been accused of interfering in another country's affairs. Supporting a country with the aim of liberating its land is a nationalistic duty. This is the real work of the Resistance, and this can overthrow all the accusations and campaigns. The war that Hezbollah is now fighting in Syria is not the one that it should have fought. We all know the reasons that prevented and are still preventing the opening of the Golan Front against any Resistance actions. The Syrian regime shut that front and transformed it into a mere passageway for the smuggling of Iranian weapons to Lebanon to support the wars there, provided these wars stay away from the Syrian borders and do not represent a threat to the regime there. This regime only announced the opening of the Golan Front when it saw that this front could represent a leeway for its domestic crisis by insinuating that its opponents are preventing it from proceeding with the liberation battle that it is bracing to launch “at the right time!" Even then, the Golan door was opened within the borders that the regime wishes for and that the Russian sponsor allows. Russia is the overseer of the Syrian-Israeli understandings that control the Syrian movements and their boundaries, including the boundaries of any military actions and the weapons' deals (such as the latest s300 missiles deal). Hezbollah has fought Israel's occupation of the Lebanese land. The party is fully aware of the price of invasion and the difficulty to defend an occupied land once its people decide to liberate it. Thus, it is hard for us to believe that Hezbollah feels no shame in invading the lands of a neighboring country under the pretext of defending the villages adjacent to the Syrian lands. Didn't the Hebrew state use security-related pretexts to occupy the Lebanese South, to establish a security fence within the Lebanese borders, and to appoint Lebanese agents to run that area with the aim of protecting its northern settlements?
