It is our pride that the Great Satan (U. S.) and the head of despotism, corruption and arrogance in modern times considers us as an enemy that should be listed in the terrorism list. (Hassan Nasrallah)
It is unacceptable, it is forbidden, to harm the innocent [...] To have Iraqis confronting the occupation army, this is natural. But if there are American tourists, or intellectuals, doctors, or professors who have nothing to do with this war, they are innocent, even though they are Americans, and it is forbidden. It is not acceptable to harm them. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
We did not start a fight with America, and we don't want a war with America. If someone launches an attack, though, we will respond. We will not take rejection or humiliation. We do not want to fight. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
If you want my opinion, I say that this is a state based on occupation, that has usurped the rights of others. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
Lebanon is caught in a cycle of threats. And it is our duty to be strong and capable of defending our country. But we will not clarify or explain what we do or do not possess. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
There is no solution to the conflict in this region except with the disappearance of Israel. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
As we see, this is an illegal state; it is a cancerous entity and the root of all the crises and wars and cannot be a factor in bringing about a true and just peace in this region. Therefore, we cannot acknowledge the existence of a state called Israel, not even far in the future, as some people have tried to suggest. Time does not cancel the legitimacy of the Palestinian claim. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
I am against any reconciliation with Israel. I do not even recognize the presence of a state that is called "Israel." I consider its presence both unjust and unlawful. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
Today, the Israelis tightened the noose on the mass media in northern occupied Palestine and occupied Palestine. No one can report any news or broadcast any footage. [News reports] are subject to the Israeli censorship which permits and disseminates them. Even you at Al-Jazeera Channel were subjected to arrests, interrogation, restricted activities, and the like. Why do the Israelis resort to concealing the truth on the other side? Why? Do they do that only because they accuse the media outlets of setting the coordinates? This is nonsense. We have the coordinates of these Israeli settlements and military positions in the north, centre, or in any part of occupied Palestine. We do not need anybody to give us information, images, or the like. In that case, they want to conceal the true scene of the war on the other side because it will have definite impact on the Israeli street and media and the morale of the Israelis. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
Even if [an agreement] is signed we will continue to view [Israel] as an illegitimate and illegal entity. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
Let the entire world hear me. Our hostility to the Great Satan [America] is absolute [...] Regardless of how the world has changed after 11 September, Death to America will remain our reverberating and powerful slogan: Death to America. (Hassan Nasrallah)
And on this last day of the century, I promise Israel that it will see more suicide attacks, for we will write our history with blood. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
Israel is our enemy. This is an aggressive, illegal, and illegitimate entity, which has no future in our land. Its destiny is manifested in our motto: 'Death to Israel. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
...the Jews will gather from all parts of the world into occupied Palestine, not in order to bring about the anti-Christ and the end of the world, but rather that Allah the Glorified and Most High wants to save you from having to go to the ends of the world [to kill them], for they have gathered in one place–they have gathered in one place–and there the final and decisive battle will take place. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
The elite are the men of religion, political leaders, media and press people, and teachers. Everyone can understand the truth and know what is right. These have the responsibility of showing this right and truth to the people. They should not remain silent.... It is the responsibility of people to look for right and truth. As they hear me now, they should not accept everything I say. Even the masses of Hezbollah and the resistance should not do so.... Forget what my faith is and what yours is. Hear what I say and see what I do and hear what others say and see what they do, and then decide. View quote

In man - in the history of mankind, this has happened many times, and occupation leaders hang on to the land that they're occupying. People fight to liberate their land. But in the end, the people's will is what achieves victory. View quote
Hassan Nasrallah
The problem is we disagree about the origin. Is this occupied land or not? View quote
