Qassem Says Hizbullah Not Worried of Elections
Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Monday said that his party is not “worried” over the results of the upcoming parliamentary elections.
“We are awaiting the date of the upcoming parliamentary elections so that people decide what they want and we’re not worried of these elections,” Hizbullah number two said in an interview with Iran’s FARS news agency.
Moreover, Qassem lashed out at the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon, accusing it of “sponsoring civil society organizations and building them on the basis of stirring chaos and troubles, sabotaging the country’s situation, blocking roads and spoiling the generations with perverse ideas and beliefs.”
“This embassy is endorsing the course of the Lebanese Forces, the party that committed massacres against the Lebanese throughout its entire history,” Qassem added.

God bless our Shia resistance and its number two for stating the facts as they are. The Saudi-American-Israeli -Lebanese Forcey coalition is stirring up trouble and spreading chaos throughout Lebanon. The U.S. Embassy is promoting provocative sensual videos on YouTube and twerking which is spoiling the generations with perverse ideas of lust and immorality.
The Lebanese Forces continue their long history of committing crimes just like they did when they invaded Shia populated areas in Tayouneh chanting "Christians Christians Christians" and destroying personal and public property.
Their schemes will fail and our resistance shall prevail.
Shia Shea Shia !!!

Why doesn't Hezbullah call for end to 50% set-aside of parliamentary seats to "Christians" as contained in Constitution's Article 24? How can its deputy leader say that an election under such a prerequisite "gives people what they want"? What percentage of Lebanese society is "Christian" according to Hezbullah? Noam Chomsky says that more than half of Lebanese are "Shia". How does a census-taker determine this? There has not been such a census in Lebanon since 1934. I'll bet Israel knows better than anybody, which may be where Chomsky got his information.

The fact that he has to say this means that he is worried. He saw the backlash in Iraq and it is probably going to be greater here. Instead of the kizb faithful voting for their party reps, many will just stay home. No vote is no confidence.
