It’s no surprise Israel hasn’t yet targeted Sheikh Naiem Qassem, though it could undoubtedly do so if it wished. The answer is clear: Israel wouldn’t find a more self-deluded and detached leader to continue leading Hezbollah—a group now mired in uprooting, destruction, and irreversible loss.

Hezbollah is disintegrating, with its fighters and leaders falling, weapons stores destroyed, its communities displaced, and southern Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s southern suburb laid to waste. Yet in his speech today, Qassem boldly, and absurdly, vowed “absolute defeat” for Israel, claiming a future of “final victory” for Hezbollah. Such claims only underscore his estrangement from reality.

In his first speech since assuming his new role, as Hezbollah’s leader, Qassem stated that “the Israeli enemy won’t be able to impose its conditions” and that Hezbollah is “ready for a long war” with “final victory” awaiting.

But Qassem’s words are an exercise in self-deception, for Hezbollah’s defeat is already evident in the destruction of its strongholds and the daily suffering of Lebanese in general and Lebanese Shiites in particular. He avoided the reality of Hezbollah’s catastrophic failures and the price his people are paying for the false promises of “protection and construction” evilly echoed by the terrorist Hezbollah and its masters, the criminal Iranian Mullahs for over 40 years.

Qassem lauded Hezbollah’s role in what he called the “Battle of Mighty Warriors,” describing its role in Lebanon, and that Of Hamas in Gaza as an “epic.” But the real epic here is Hezbollah’s refusal to face the facts. Hezbollah’s war is one of Iranian design; Qassem himself is merely Iran’s mouthpiece, his only “choice” being to obey Tehran’s dictates.

In his speech, he defiantly declared, “We will disrupt the Israeli scheme, and we are capable of doing so,” yet every sign points to Hezbollah’s total weakening and defeat, its only role now serving Iran’s interests, no matter the price Lebanon’s Shiite community pays.

War always has winners and losers, and for Hezbollah, not surrendering and accepting the defeat means recklessly dragging Lebanon further into ruin, and stubbornly resisting reality. By pledging to fight to the end, Qassem merely sets up Hezbollah—and Lebanon—for even more suffering. Meanwhile, Iran exploits Hezbollah’s position in Lebanon purely to advance its own interests, no matter the cost to Lebanese lives and livelihoods.

“If Netanyahu vows ‘absolute victory,’ we promise you absolute defeat,” Qassem insisted, ignoring the catastrophic state Hezbollah finds itself in today.

Ultimately, Hezbollah has lost its war with Israel and stands militarily defeated. The logical step is to halt this suicidal war, surrender its weapons, and hand them over to the Lebanese Army, granting Lebanon a chance for peace and stability.

In conclusion, There is no hope for Lebanon, no path to sovereignty, stability, or peace, while Hezbollah, under Iran’s command, remains occupying the country and controlling its puppet government.

in summary, Qassem’s speech was a spectacle of delusion, a web of lies, hallucinations, fabrications, and daydreams that insulted the intelligence of every Lebanese. It demonstrated a pathological detachment from the dire reality facing Lebanon’s Shiites and the Lebanese people, who bear the weight of Hezbollah’s ruinous legacy.

Sheikh Qassem: Hezbollah Ready for Long War, “Absolute Defeat” Awaits Israelis
Al-Manar English Website/October 30, 2024
New Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem vowed on Wednesday that the so-called “absolute victory” which Israeli Prime Minister promises will turn out to be an “absolute defeat” to Israelis. In his first televised address after his election as a secretary general after martyrdom of former S.G. Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, Sheikh Qassem said that Hezbollah is fully ready for a long war, affirming that the Lebanese resistance group will emerge victorious and more powerful after the war. His eminence described the resistance in Gaza and Lebanon as epic, as he stressed that Hezbollah will never beg for a settlement and that the war will end according to the resistance’s terms. “The Israeli enemy won’t be able to impose its conditions,” Sheikh Qassem said via Al-Manar. He said that following the blows Hezbollah has suffered since the pager attacks on September 17, and then the assassination of its senior leaders including former Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, the resistance managed to rise and recover.
“Heavy Responsibility”
Sheikh Qassem started his speech by mourning Head of Hezbollah Executive Council Sayyed Hashem Safeiddine and Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar. “Sayyed Safeiddine was one of the most prominent people whom late Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah relied on.” On Sinwar, Sheikh Qassem said: “He was the icon of heroism and resistance for Palestine and the free people of the world. Martyr Sinwar scared the enemy in his prison, in his freedom, and he will continue to scare them after martyrdom.” He then thanked Hezbollah’s leadership and the Shoura Council over their trust as they chose him to assume this “heavy responsibility.” “This responsibility is the will and the legacy of martyr Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah and other senior leaders who martyred,” Sheikh Qassem said.He vowed that under his leadership, “Hezbollah will continue to work on the same path of martyr Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah.” “Global War” He affirmed that supporting Gaza was necessary to confront the Israeli scheme which threatens the entire region. “The Zionist entity needs no pretext to stage an aggression, it has been attacking the region for 75 years,” Sheikh Qassem said, stressing that “through resistance, we will disrupt the Israeli scheme, and we are capable of doing so.”He described the current war as a global one staged by ‘Israel’, US and other Western countries. “This war employs all capabilities with all brutal means,” his eminence stated. He hailed the epic steadfastness of the resistance in Gaza and Lebanon, saying that these acts of resistance “will make the future of our generations.”
“Battle of Mighty Warriors”
Hezbollah’s new S.G. stressed, meanwhile, that the Lebanese resistance group doesn’t fight on behalf of anyone in the region. “Our project is to defend our homeland and to support Gaza. Iran only supports the resistance; we welcome any support by any Arab state.”On the other hand, Sheikh Qassem stated that despite the heavy blows Hezbollah has suffered, it has managed to rise and recover, affirming that the Lebanese resistance group is fully ready for a long war. “If the pager attack had targeted any army, it would have collapsed. Hezbollah’s capabilities are great and are compatible with a long war.” “The Israeli occupation admitted its failure in face of Hezbollah drones and rockets. We stage our strikes within a well-studied field program.”Sheikh Qassem said that the resistance’s ability to set up rocket launchers despite the continuous Israeli airstrikes is exceptional, adding that Hezbollah men “are fighting with honor.”He said that the Hezbollah leadership decided to name this war the “Battle of Mighty Warriors.”
“Final Victory is Ours”
Addressing the Israelis, Sheikh Qassem said: “You will be defeated certainly, because the land is ours and our people are united around us. Get out of our land in order to lessen your losses or else, you will pay an unprecedented price.” He vowed that “Hezbollah will emerge from this confrontation stronger and victorious,” stressing: “The final victory is ours.”“If Netanyahu vows ‘absolute victory,’ we promise you absolute defeat.” Sheikh Qassem concluded his speech by citing a quoted by martyr Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah: “Era of defeats has gone, it’s era of victories.”
