Naim Qassem Declares: ‘Ready to Fight for Karbala if Necessary!’

Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem addressed a large crowd during the commemoration of Arbaeen, emphasizing the significance of the struggle for justice and resistance against tyranny. His message highlighted the enduring legacy of Imam Hussein (a.s.) and its relevance in contemporary conflicts, particularly in the context of the ongoing struggles faced by Lebanon and Palestine.

During his speech, Qassem stated, “We are on the path of salvation, thanks to the jihad and revolution of Imam Hussein (a.s.). People at every milestone have to choose either to be with Imam Hussein (a.s.) or to be with Yazid.” He underscored the importance of aligning with the rightful path, asserting that the choice today is to stand with the modern-day representatives of Imam Hussein, notably Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei.

Qassem drew parallels between historical figures and current leaders, asserting that “Sheikh Ragheb Harb, Sayyed Abbas Al-Moussawi, and Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah walked the same path of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei.” He framed the ongoing struggle for liberation, particularly in Palestine, as a continuation of the principles established during the Battle of Karbala.

  • Resistance Against Oppression: Qassem emphasized the need for resistance against modern-day oppressors, specifically the United States and Israeli forces, whom he referred to as the “Yazid of the era.”
  • The Legacy of Karbala: He described the Resistance as an extension of the events that took place in Karbala, asserting that it embodies the spirit of fighting against injustice.
  • 2006 Victory: Qassem recalled the significance of the 2006 victory, which he attributed to “Mohammadi-Alawite support” and divine assistance, stating that it served as a deterrent against enemy aggression for 17 years.

Further elaborating on the role of the Islamic Republic, Qassem stated, “The Islamic Republic is still on our side and will remain so, just as the flag of resistance will remain raised.” He reinforced the idea that the presence of the Resistance is crucial for maintaining Lebanese sovereignty and preventing Israeli incursions.

In a critical analysis of the Lebanese government, Qassem argued that the government’s actions align with US-Israeli interests, particularly in efforts to undermine the Resistance. He remarked, “This Lebanese Government implements the US-Israeli order to end the Resistance.” He accused the government of failing to safeguard Lebanese territory and questioned its allegiance when it received praise from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.

  • Call to Action: Qassem urged the government to focus on nation-building rather than succumbing to external pressures, emphasizing its responsibility to protect the Lebanese people.
  • Consequences of Inaction: He warned that the government’s decisions could lead to severe internal strife, stating that any failure to act decisively against aggression would place the entire nation at risk.

He concluded with a powerful message about the resilience of the Resistance, stating, “The Resistance will never surrender its weapons while the aggression continues; we’ll fight a Karbala battle if necessary, and we are confident that we’ll be victorious.” His closing remarks served as a rallying cry for unity among Lebanon’s people, urging them to stand firm against external threats.

Qassem’s statements resonate deeply with many who view the ongoing conflicts in the region through the lens of historical struggles for justice. The call for unity and resistance against perceived oppression remains a central theme in Hezbollah’s ideology and actions.

As he highlighted the importance of historical memory and its implications for present-day struggles, Qassem’s address during Arbaeen serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of Imam Hussein’s legacy on contemporary movements for justice and sovereignty.

In summary, Sheikh Naim Qassem’s speech at the Arbaeen gathering emphasizes the importance of resistance, the consequences of governmental actions, and the enduring legacy of Imam Hussein (a.s.) in the fight against tyranny. The call for unity and strength among the Lebanese people and their allies remains as relevant today as it was during the historical events of Karbala.

  • Exploring the Fundamental Divide: Key Differences Between Iran and the United States
