MEMRI has translated an interview given by Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah to Al Manar TV, Hezbollah’s official media outlet. Strangely, Nasrallah offers some praise for his sworn enemy, “the Zionist entity”:
Funny that a man who has done so much to promote a culture of death and martyrdom among his own people would praise Israel for its commitment to preserving the lives, and returning the remains, of its own soldiers. Nasrallah also addressed the conflict in Iraq, suggesting that “Jihad against the occupation forces” is the only way forward for Iraqis. It seems likely that Nasrallah’s Iranian sponsors take a similar view of the war in Iraq, and his comments only further undermine the idea that Iran might somehow become a partner for peace in Iraq.
