Top Hezbollah Quotes

Hezbollah Quotes By Barack Obama

The real problem, if you look at how, for example, Hezbollah got a lot of missiles that are a grave threat to Israel, it's not because they were legal, it's not because somehow that was authorized under international law; it was because there was insufficient intelligence or capacity to stop those shipments. — Barack Obama

Hezbollah Quotes By Ehud Olmert

It is important that democracy in Lebanon is protected and that Hezbollah will not be supported by outside forces like Syria and Iran. — Ehud Olmert

Hezbollah Quotes By Stephen M. Walt

To the extent that Israel does face threats, like from say Hamas or Hezbollah, those are threats that do not jeopardise Israel's existence. — Stephen M. Walt

Hezbollah Quotes By Hooman Majd

If we cannot understand the depth of feeling in the Muslim world toward Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Islam as a political force, then we will be doomed to failure in every encounter we have with the world. — Hooman Majd

Hezbollah Quotes By Howard Dean

The Iraqi prime minister is an anti-Semite. We don't need to spend $200 and $300 and $500 billion dollars bringing democracy to Iraq to turn it over to people who believe that Israel doesn't have a right to defend itself and who refuse to condemn Hezbollah. — Howard Dean

Hezbollah Quotes By Leon Panetta

Iran's continued drive to develop nuclear capabilities, including troubling enrichment activities and past work on weaponization documented by the IAEA, and its continued support to groups like Hezbollah, Hamas and other terrorist organizations make clear that the regime in Tehran is a very grave threat to all of us. — Leon Panetta

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

There is no solution to the conflict except with the disappearance of Israel. — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Michael Totten

Just a few thousand Hezbollah fighters set two countries on fire all by themselves. Don't discount what bloody mayhem and hell a few thousand armed Druze, Christians, and Sunni can do if they decide to go hunting Shia in revenge for destroying their country. — Michael Totten

Hezbollah Quotes By Zbigniew Brzezinski

Because when you kill 300 people, 400 people, who have nothing to do with the provocations Hezbollah staged, but you do it in effect deliberately by being indifferent to the scale of collateral damage, you're killing hostages in the hope of intimidating those that you want to intimidate. And more likely than not you will not intimidate them. You'll simply outrage them and make them into permanent enemies with the number of such enemies increasing. — Zbigniew Brzezinski

Hezbollah Quotes By Amos Oz

The minute we leave south Lebanon we will have to erase the word Hezbollah from our vocabulary, because the whole idea of the State of Israel versus Hezbollah was sheer folly from the outset. It most certainly no longer will be relevant when Israel returns to her internationally recognized northern border. — Amos Oz

Hezbollah Quotes By Ziad K. Abdelnour

The Lebanese banking system helps Iran, Syria & Hezbollah evade sanctions. — Ziad K. Abdelnour

Hezbollah Quotes By Zach Wamp

But Hezbollah now has reared its ugly head in a way that threatens the entire free world. And they want, by their own charter and definition, the destruction of Israel and Christians. That is the truth. That is in their charter. — Zach Wamp

Hezbollah Quotes By Noam Chomsky

As the current U.S.-Israel assault raged, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman explained that Israel's tactics in the current attack, as in its invasion of Lebanon in 2006, are based on the sound principle of "trying to 'educate' Hamas, by inflicting a heavy death toll on Hamas militants and heavy pain on the Gaza population." That makes sense on pragmatic grounds, as it did in Lebanon, where "the only long-term source of deterrence was to exact enough pain on the civilians - the families and employers of the militants - to restrain Hezbollah in the future."10 And by similar logic, bin Laden's effort to "educate" Americans on 9/11 was highly praiseworthy, as were the Nazi attacks on Lidice and Oradour, Putin's destruction of Grozny, and other notable educational exercises. — Noam Chomsky

Hezbollah Quotes By Tom Gross

To the south, along the curve of the coast, Hezbollah is launching Katyushas, but I'm loath to say too much about them. The Party of God has a copy of every journalist's passport, and they've already hassled a number of us and threatened one. — Tom Gross

Hezbollah Quotes By Michael Scheuer

But more important, I think, is the criticism bin Laden has made publicly over the past 10 years that Muslim governments cannot even protect their own people. And more than that, they'll often collude with the infidels. And if you recall, the initial reaction of the Arab league was to criticize Hezbollah and damn Hezbollah for the war. And they eventually had to turn 180degrees and support Hezbollah. — Michael Scheuer

Hezbollah Quotes By Tom Lantos

Our resolution urges all Latin American and Caribbean countries to designate al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad as terrorist organizations. — Tom Lantos

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

The elite are the men of religion, political leaders, media and press people, and teachers. Everyone can understand the truth and know what is right. These have the responsibility of showing this right and truth to the people. They should not remain silent ... It is the responsibility of people to look for right and truth. As they hear me now, they should not accept everything I say. Even the masses of Hezbollah and the resistance should not do so ... Forget what my faith is and what yours is. Hear what I say and see what I do and hear what others say and see what they do, and then decide. — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Aasif Mandvi

I think one of my favorite pieces I've ever done on the show which was about Hezbollah Israel conflict in 2006 and it was very pointed. It was a beautifully crafted piece of satire and it's a weird thing to say but it had a joke in there about 9/11 and I remember the audience sort of laughing but also kind of not knowing how to respond to that joke and it was just so - and I remember the tension after we did this joke on the air and there was this palpable gasp in the audience, but they were also laughing. And I thought oh, wow, that is something that is not being said in the Zeitgeist. — Aasif Mandvi

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah is not fighting for Syria. Hezbollah is not fighting for Iran. Hezbollah is fighting for Lebanon. — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Bill Maher

Who takes care of their people better? FEMA or Hezbollah? — Bill Maher

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

We will consider every hand who will try to take our weapons, as an Israeli hand. — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Hillary Clinton

Iran has basically propped up Assad, who has waged an absolute war of horror against the Syrian people. And he has done anything he could to stay in power with the full support of the Iranians and including Iranian troops and Hezbollah from Lebanon, which are an Iranian proxy. — Hillary Clinton

Hezbollah Quotes By Judith Butler

Understanding Hamas/Hezbollah as social movements that are progressive, that are on the left, that are part of a global left, is extremely important. That does not stop us from being critical of certain dimensions of both movements. — Judith Butler

Hezbollah Quotes By Tom Lantos

Hezbollah's contempt for human suffering is total, as it showed once again this morning when its rockets murdered two Israeli Arab children in Nazareth. — Tom Lantos

Hezbollah Quotes By Walid Jumblatt

The Islamic State is a threat to both the moderate Islam headed by Mr. Saad al-Hariri and, of course, for Hezbollah. There is a convergence, an anxiety of a common enemy ... which is good. — Walid Jumblatt

Hezbollah Quotes By Ziad K. Abdelnour

Biggest mistake Reagan ever did re: foreign policy? 1984 decision to appease Hezbollah with Lebanon withdrawal — Ziad K. Abdelnour

Hezbollah Quotes By Richard Engel

Israel specifically does not want Syria to hand over weapons, chemical or conventional, to Hezbollah. — Richard Engel

Hezbollah Quotes By Mark Helprin

If one accepts Hezbollah's self-description as a resistance movement, in which case one must, in light of the fact that Hezbollah never ceases to provoke, view Israel's mere existence as a continuing act of aggression, then Hezbollah has indeed shown that it can initiate conflict, resist, and survive. — Mark Helprin

Hezbollah Quotes By Jared Cohen

I didn't want any surprises; I churlishly thought if I revealed my Judaism at McDonald's, I would somehow be protected by the friendly American forces of crispy chicken sandwiches and supersized French fries. — Jared Cohen

Hezbollah Quotes By Walid Shoebat

What the West does not understand about Islamism is that Jihad is very systematic. It has stages. If Muslims have the upper hand, then Jihad is waged by force. If Muslims do not have the upper hand, then Jihad is waged through financial and political means. Since Muslims do not have the upper hand in America or Europe, they talk about peace in front of you while supporting Hamas and Hezbollah in the back room. The whole idea of Islam being a peaceful religion emanates from that silent stage of Jihad. — Walid Shoebat

Hezbollah Quotes By Mark Helprin

Unlike Hezbollah, Israel's more modest aim is to survive, and that it has done. — Mark Helprin

Hezbollah Quotes By Elliott Abrams

If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, its influence and that of Hamas and Hezbollah are strengthened. — Elliott Abrams

Hezbollah Quotes By Alcee Hastings

The actions of the terrorist organizations, Hezbollah, in Lebanon, and Hamas, in Gaza, against Israel are unconscionable. Instead of working towards peace, these terrorist organizations have chosen to perpetuate the violence. — Alcee Hastings

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

If they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide. — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

That is why if Lebanon concludes a peace agreement with Israel and brings that accord to the Parliament our deputies will reject it; Hezbollah refuses any conciliation with Israel in principle. — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Marco Rubio

We will have to work around the world with less than ideal governments. The government in Saudi Arabia is not a democracy, but we will have to work with them. The government in Jordan is not perfect, but we will have to work with them. But anti-American dictators like [Bashar] Assad, who help Hezbollah, who helped get those IEDs into Iraq, if they go, I will not shed a tear. — Marco Rubio

Hezbollah Quotes By Donald Rumsfeld

If I look at the really important questions in [Middle East] region, I see Iran, where there is a strong desire for a freer society and where people are repressed by a small group of ayatollahs. I see Syria, where we can see a similar desire of the people to be free. These two countries fund Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations and are hurting our efforts in Afghanistan and have been extremely harmful in Iraq. Then I also see large, important countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia. — Donald Rumsfeld

Hezbollah Quotes By Lawrence Eagleburger

There's Hezbollah, there's Hamas, there is a whole range of terrorist targets out there related to Palestine and to Israel that we ought to be trying to deal with. And there's a great deal of targets in the Philippines, Indonesia. You name it, there are a number of places where there are targets that we ought to be trying to deal with. — Lawrence Eagleburger

Hezbollah Quotes By George W. Bush

Hezbollah is not a state. They're a, you know, supposed political party that happens to be armed. — George W. Bush

Hezbollah Quotes By Najib Mikati

In my opinion, the Hezbollah has going - they are going to discover sooner or later than in their top priority should preserve Lebanon. — Najib Mikati

Hezbollah Quotes By Norman Finkelstein

Every victory of Hezbollah, I celebrate. — Norman Finkelstein

Hezbollah Quotes By Pola Muzyka

When I am alone with God I see that God is really all I have. All that matters. All that will last. At these times I realize that the magnitude of what I have is incomprehensible. Usually I cry for the sheer joy of it. Not tears of defeat, but rather tears of gratitude. — Pola Muzyka

Hezbollah Quotes By Jan Egeland

Hezbollah must stop this cowardly blending in among women and children. I heard they were making statements that they were proud of losing fewer armed men than civilians. It's hard to see how they could be proud of such a situation. — Jan Egeland

Hezbollah Quotes By Ziad K. Abdelnour

Hezbollah is not a mammoth force, there is only so much they can do in Syria. Iranian role more critical for the regime. — Ziad K. Abdelnour

Hezbollah Quotes By Anthony Bourdain

Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans ... are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit. — Anthony Bourdain

Hezbollah Quotes By Hillary Clinton

Part of the problem that we have currently in the Middle East is that[Bashar] Assad has hung on to power with the very strong support of Russia and Iran and with the proxy of Hezbollah being there basically fighting his battles. — Hillary Clinton

Hezbollah Quotes By Mitt Romney

My red line is Iran may not have a nuclear weapon. It is inappropriate for them to have the capacity to terrorize the world. Iran with a nuclear weapon or with fissile material that can be given to Hezbollah or Hamas or others has the potential of not just destabilizing the Middle East. — Mitt Romney

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew. Notice, I do not say the Israeli. — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Elliott Abrams

The threat that Syria might transfer more advanced weapons to Hezbollah has existed for a long time. — Elliott Abrams

Hezbollah Quotes By Eric Bolling

The reason why no one had spoken to [Iranians] for the last years is because they sponsored Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinians, Al Qaeda, 9/11. The last time anyone spoke to the Iranians was when Ronald Reagan said, 'I've just been elected and you better let our hostages go or you guys are absolutely screwed'. — Eric Bolling

Hezbollah Quotes By George Galloway

Hezbollah has never been a terrorist organisation! — George Galloway

Hezbollah Quotes By Charles Krauthammer

Israel is not just any small country. It is the only small country - the only country, period - whose neighbors publicly declare its very existence an affront to law, morality and religion and make its extinction an explicit , paramount national goal. Iran, Libya, and Iraq conduct foreign policies designed for the killing of Israelis and the destruction of their state. They choose their allies (Hamas, Hezbollah) and develop their weapons (suicide bombs, poison gas, anthrax, nuclear missiles) accordingly. Countries as far away as Malaysia will not allow a representative of Israel on their soil or even permit the showing of 'Schindler's List' lest it engender sympathy for Zion. — Charles Krauthammer

Hezbollah Quotes By Lawrence Eagleburger

There are a lot of other terrorist targets we ought to be focusing on. Well, there is Syria, for example, which is pumping through - because of Iran, is pumping weapons on into Hezbollah and so forth - which is then producing a lot of agony in Palestine and in Israel. We ought to be doing a bit to try to stop that. — Lawrence Eagleburger

Hezbollah Quotes By John Conyers

None of us condone terrorism in any way, shape, or form, and I believe Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that was, is, and remains a threat to peace in the Mideast, and must be dismantled and disarmed. — John Conyers

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

It is our pride that the Great Satan (U.S.) and the head of despotism, corruption and arrogance in modern times considers us as an enemy that should be listed in the terrorism list ... I say to every member of Hezbollah (should) be happy and proud that your party has been placed on the list of terrorist organizations as the U.S. view it — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Elliott Abrams

The ultimate goal is to change Syria's behaviour on a variety of issues - on its interference in Lebanese internal affairs, on its support for Palestinian terrorist groups that oppose the Palestinian Authority, on, most importantly, acting as a land bridge between Iran and Hezbollah, where Hezbollah gets all its arms. — Elliott Abrams

Hezbollah Quotes By Eric Bolling

Hezbollah, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, they all have ties to Iranian money. I think they are the biggest exist - existential threat. Russia could be up there, but it would probably be to one of our NATO allies rather than the homeland. — Eric Bolling

Hezbollah Quotes By Rush Limbaugh

You've got Hezbollah in Arizona. You've got Mexican drug cartels operating in Arizona. You've got the steady stream of illegals over the border, and you've got people being killed now in Arizona. They are at their wits' end. Enforcing the law is the overall thing, and if there are some civil rights violations, so be it. That's how desperate the situation is. They want the law anyway. — Rush Limbaugh

Hezbollah Quotes By John Boehner

The aggressive, unprovoked acts of violence against Israel by Hezbollah and Hamas are revealing. It is clear they don't want peace, but rather seek the ultimate destruction of Israel. — John Boehner

Hezbollah Quotes By David Ignatius

Well, I think the U.S. has been careful not to go too far in attacking Iran's allies, in particular in attacking Hezbollah forces in Syria, which have been propping up the regime of Bashar al-Assad. — David Ignatius

Hezbollah Quotes By Moises Naim

AL QAEDA SPENT ABOUT $500,000 TO PRODUCE 9/11, WHEREAS THE direct losses of that day's destruction plus the costs of the American response to the attacks were $3.3 trillion. In other words, for every dollar Al Qaeda spent planning and executing the attacks, the United States spent $7 million.1 The costs of 9/11 equal one-fifth of the US national debt. In 2006, Hezbollah fired a precision-guided cruise missile at an Israeli ship — Moises Naim

Hezbollah Quotes By J. D. Hayworth

As in any war, there have been dreadful mistakes and civilian casualties. The difference is when Israelis kill innocents they apologize; when Hezbollah kills innocents they celebrate. — J. D. Hayworth

Hezbollah Quotes By Barack Obama

We all know a lot of people who died in 9/11, the World Trade Center. A lot of money funding that mission is directly tied - from the 9/11 Commission, directly tied to Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas. — Barack Obama

Hezbollah Quotes By John Dingell

I don't take sides for or against Hezbollah, or for or against Israel. — John Dingell

Hezbollah Quotes By Bob Graham

In my judgment, the greatest risks are international terrorist groups like al Qaeda and Hezbollah. The war in Iraq has taken our attention off those priorities. — Bob Graham

Hezbollah Quotes By Hillary Clinton

[Iranians] are destabilizing governments in the region. They continue to support Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon against Israel. A lot of work that we have do is going to be incredibly hard. I'm prepared to do that work, but I believe, just as I did with imposing the sanctions, you have to get action for action. — Hillary Clinton

Hezbollah Quotes By Michael McCaul

The President of Iran has called for the destruction of Israel and the West and has even denied the holocaust took place. Iran and its terrorist arm Hezbollah are responsible for the current conflicts between Israel and Lebanon. — Michael McCaul

Hezbollah Quotes By John L. Esposito

But blaming Islam is a simple answer, easier and less controversial than re-examining the core political issues and grievances that resonate in much of the Muslim world: the failures of many Muslim governments and societies, some aspects of U.S. foreign policy representing intervention and dominance, Western support for authoritarian regimes, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, or support for Israel's military battles with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. (p. 136-137) — John L. Esposito

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

Martyrdom operations - suicide bombings - should be exported outside Palestine. I encourage Palestinians to take suicide bombings worldwide. Don't be shy about it. — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Jan Egeland

Consistently, from the Hezbollah heartland, my message was that Hezbollah must stop this cowardly blending ... among women and children," . "I heard they were proud because they lost very few fighters and that it was the civilians bearing the brunt of this. I don't think anyone should be proud of having many more children and women dead than armed men. — Jan Egeland

Hezbollah Quotes By Najib Mikati

I have a friendship with Hezbollah, and I also have contacts outside of Lebanon, but it doesn't mean I follow anyone's agenda. — Najib Mikati

Hezbollah Quotes By David Ignatius

The secret of any kind of reporting is to go with a guide. So if you, you're going to see Hezbollah in Beirut, you go with someone who knows the local people, and you'll be fine. — David Ignatius

Hezbollah Quotes By Adel Al-Jubeir

The war in Yemen is not a war that we wanted. We had no other option - there was a radical militia allied with Iran and Hezbollah that took over the country. It was in possession of heavy weapons, ballistic missiles and even an air force. Should we stand by idly while this happens at our doorstep, in one of the countries in which al-Qaida has a huge presence? So we responded, as part of a coalition, at the request of the legitimate government of Yemen, and we stepped in to support them. — Adel Al-Jubeir

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

What is being talked about now is the probability of the Sharon government launching an attack against Lebanon to eliminate the resistance of Hezbollah by using the American war against Iraq. But, of course, in this case, we will certainly fight with all our strength. — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Joe Biden

It's a problem that we [USA] think the Iranians are backing Hezbollah; the Iranians are backing terrorist activity in many parts of that region. — Joe Biden

Hezbollah Quotes By Ziad Doueiri

I lived through many battles - the 1973, I was young; in 1982 with the Israeli invasions, and 2006 between Hezbollah and Israel. Before I emigrated to the States in '83, I had my own very black and white views of the Israelis and the Jews in general. But you start to understand that no matter what you think, there are two perspectives. — Ziad Doueiri

Hezbollah Quotes By Richard Armitage

There are many countries who have traditionally sponsored terrorism. Iraq is one, though it appears the majority of the terrorism committed by Saddam Hussein is on his own citizens. Iran in this regard. Syria, with their close support of Hezbollah, is noteworthy in this respect. — Richard Armitage

Hezbollah Quotes By Hassan Nasrallah

If you want to judge if a party is a Lebanese enough, let me say we take up arms and fight against the occupation of our land, is that Lebanese enough? — Hassan Nasrallah

Hezbollah Quotes By Barack Obama

Israel has legitimate concerns about its security relative to Iran. I mean, you have a large country with a significant military that has proclaimed that Israel shouldn't exist, that has denied the Holocaust, that has financed Hezbollah, and as a consequence, there are missiles that are pointed towards Tel Aviv. There are very good reasons why Israelis are nervous about Iran's position in the world generally. — Barack Obama

Hezbollah Quotes By Joel C. Rosenberg

Iran also continues to provide seemingly "limitless support" to the Hezbollah terror organization in Lebanon. In 2006, — Joel C. Rosenberg

Hezbollah Quotes By Richard Engel

Hezbollah and the government are only two of 18 political factions in Lebanon, most of them armed. There are militant Christian groups, Palestinian radicals, al-Qaida, Druze militias and even armed bands of Marxists still operating in Lebanon. — Richard Engel

Hezbollah Quotes By Jeremy Corbyn

There is not going to be a peace process unless there is talks involving Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas, and I think everyone knows that. — Jeremy Corbyn

Hezbollah Quotes By Benjamin Netanyahu

Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon now presides over the UN Security Council. This means, in effect, that a terror organization presides over the body entrusted with guaranteeing the world's security. You couldn't make this thing up. — Benjamin Netanyahu

Hezbollah Quotes By Gordon Brown

I have to say that if our global alliances are going to be alliances with Hezbollah and Hamas and Hugo Chavez's Venezuela and Vladimir Putin's Russia, there is absolutely no chance of building a world-wide alliance that can deal with poverty and inequality and climate change and financial instability, and we've got to face up to that fact. — Gordon Brown
