Ayatullah Fadlullah: Jewish security US sole concern

By: Sayyid Muhammad Ali Taqawi

In the Name of God, the Compassionate the Merciful

Ayatullah Al Ozma H.E. M. H. Fadlullah delivered two speeches at the Imamain Al-Hasanain Mosque Beirut, JomadaII 7, 1423h, August 19, 2002 (Several prominent religious scholars, dignitaries and thousands of believers attended the Jumu’a prayer).

He said solving the Palestinian problem remains in the security sphere, as evident from the American meeting with the Palestinian officials. It did not deal with the political issues, although they constitute the basis of the problem. The security of the Jewish people is America’s sole concern.

The American position towards Iran is also determined by the same guidelines, for Iran supports the Lebanese and Palestinian resistances against the occupation. Similarly, it pressurizes Syria for its steadfastness in confronting Israel.

America has even begun acting both politically and through the mass media against some of its allies, like Egypt and Saudi Arabia, as a result of their objection of the savage and brutal way Israel runs its occupation, in coordination with the US.

Even the American intimidation campaign against Iraq could be seen as part of this movement that aims at distracting the international public opinion away from what is going on in Palestine.

As for Lebanon, we would like the Lebanese in this stage to consolidate and solidify their internal unity.
