Daily Star - Syrian women visit Mlita to support resistance, November 28th 2011


By Mohammed Zaatari
MLITA, Lebanon: A delegation of about 100 Syrian women visited the Hezbollah museum in the village of Mlita in Nabatieh Saturday, in a show of solidarity with the resistance.
The women, coming from the various cities along the Syrian coast and headed by Father Raffi Hilweh, were receivedat the Resistance Museum by Hezbollah official and Nabatieh MP Mohammad Raad, a delegation from local women’s organizations and a number of mayors and public figures.
After meeting with the group, Raad gave a speech in which he affirmed “Hezbollah’s support for Syria and its loyal people who embraced the resistance and its people.”
In a reference to March 14 politicians, Raad said that those who are calling on Syria to open its Golan Heights front against Israel “know nothing about strategy.”
“Those who are conspiring against Syria today are the ones who were holding hands with the Israelis and Americans during the July [2006] aggression against Lebanon,” Raad said. “They are targeting the resistance’s strategy of deterrence and Syria’s support for the resistance in fighting the enemy.”
Raad also thanked the Syrian people for their support during the July 2006 war.
“If it weren’t for Syria and its strategic vision, Lebanon would not have survived,” he added.
For his part, Hilweh said that the recent events in Syria were a foreign conspiracy against the Syrian people’s unity and will to survive. “We ask the Arab League and major powers why they … are planting seeds of resentment and hatred among the Syrian people,” Hilweh said.
At the end of the meeting, members of the convoy presented gifts to Raad and for resistance fighters, and Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah.
