Nasrallah Calls for Arming of Palestinians After Gaza "Massacre"
Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has called for weapons and money to be sent to the Palestinians after 18 people were killed in an Israeli artillery strike on Beit Hanun in the Gaza Strip.
"Arms, money and medicine must be delivered to this nation of resistant fighters and the blockade imposed on them must be broken," Nasrallah said in a statement Wednesday.
"Then it will be able to repeat the victory that took place in Lebanon," he added, referring to the 34-day war in July and August between his fighters and Israel.
"Where are the Arabs? Where are the Arab rulers? ... Where are their courageous peoples? Where is the resounding scream of anger in the face of the butchers?" Nasrallah said.
"From Qana (in south Lebanon where nearly 30 civilians were killed by Israeli bombardment in July) to Beit Hanun, it is always the same massacres and the same fighting," he said.
President Emile Lahoud denounced the killings, saying in a statement, "the words of condemnation are unable to confront the pain."
The Arab League also condemned the Israeli attack on Beit Hanun as a "massacre" and called for an emergency meeting of its foreign ministers.
Its secretary general Amr Mussa told reporters in Cairo he had telephoned the ministers to organize "an emergency meeting ... to discuss the Israeli aggression" in the Palestinian territories.(AFP-AP-Naharnet)
