Lebanese Politician Compares Hezbollah to Nazism and Fascism

From MEMRI:

Saleh El Machnouk: Our country is occupied by a terror organization called Hizbullah. It controls the state, controls the security agencies...

Interviewer: How can you say that the resistance, which defends the land, is occupying it?

Saleh El Machnouk: That is a lie, which was born not today, but in 1983. The resistance to the occupation is a lie.

Interviewer: The liberation of South Lebanon was a lie?

Saleh El Machnouk: It is all a lie. Let me say clearly: If in 1991, the Syrian regime and Hizbullah had let the Lebanese army enter the south, Israel would have withdrawn that very day. It is all a lie.

Interviewer: You can criticize Hizbullah, but you must admit the victories they had.

Saleh El Machnouk: Hitler gained victories in World War II. That is not a criterion. Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini all had victories. Force is not a criterion for justice or patriotism. There is a core issue here – this country is under occupation. We must comprehend that we are living in an occupied country, with a terror organization – true, one that enjoys popular support, but an organization that is terrorist in nature and ideology.
