Protect youth before Hizbollah destroys them
Hizbollah has murdered its way
into power in Lebanon and has
successfully infiltrated Bahrain.
Hassan Nasrallah, born on August 31, 1960,
travelled to Najaf in 1976. He defected
from Amal Movement and was one of the
major founders of Hizbollah in 1982.
Upon his self-appointed position as
secretary general in 1992, he explicitly
announced: “We do not say we are part of
Iran. We say we are Iran in Lebanon”.
Is this the plan for Bahrain?
As if dates are a coincidence with Hizbollah;
the Cedar Revolution was a chain of
demonstrations that took place after the
assassination of Hariri on February 14,
2005, and the anti-Syria-regime coalition
of political parties named 14th March
alliance was founded.
“Peaceful protesters” destroy fond
memories through violence and brutality.
The plan to celebrate the 10th anniversary
of Hariri’s death on February 14, 2015
with anarchy to overthrow the Bahrain
government fortunately failed due to their
haste caused by the Arab Spring.
Human Rights groups continue to refer
to protesters in Bahrain as a “peaceful
movement” against a “suppressive and
dictatorial Al Khalifa regime”.
The government to this day tolerates the
violence in hope that the youth will see
the light.
This sadly is not the case and no one should
become complacent just because the
GCC (Pearl) roundabout no longer exists

BSPCA set to
host charity
dog walk...
CANINE owners have been
urged to come out in force
tomorrow for a charity dog
walk.
It is being hosted by the
Bahrain Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals (BSPCA) and will
feature a 4km walk for the
more energetic animals,
and a 2km walk for smaller
pets.
It will be held around the
BSPCA’s Animal Welfare
Centre (AWC) in Askar.
The route will be marked out
with water stops to ensure the
canine participants can quench
their thirst.
Also, Purina – the BSPCA
Cat House sponsor – will
provide umbrellas as well as
free Purina treats for each
entrant.
Prizes will be given out to
participants that raise the most
money through sponsorships
including a Nokia phone, a
Kodak digital camera, a funky
watch, six months’ supply of
Purina dog food, and a day of
dog pampering at the Delmon
Boarding Kennels among
others.
Registration fees cost BD10,
and it will open at 9am, while
the walk itself begins at
10.30am.
People who do not have
dogs, can take a shelter dog for
a walk. To book animals from
the BSPCA, call 17591231.
part of the country.
The minds of these Bahraini youth is
occupied and it is imperative that steps
are taken to de-radicalise them before the
very people they trust (Hizbollah), destroy
them.
Hizbollah has been instrumental in
controlling media presence – appearing
as victims of a “brutal regime” to the
world, whilst suspiciously financed NGOs
highlight the plights of the “tortured,
beaten and abused youth”.
Nasrallah owns Al Manar TV channel, Iran
owns over 40 news channels including
Press TV, and if that is
not enough, Hizbollah
loyals are placed in
international media to
feed the world such
as Reem Khalifa in
AP, Nazih Saeed on
France 24 and George
Galloway on satellite
channels.
Under the tyrannical leadership of Nasrallah
with support from despotic Khamenei of
Iran, Hizbollah has effectively eliminated
all their opponents including those
fighting the same enemy to achieve
complete supremacy in the terrorist world.
Today Hizbollah has an army that the
Lebanese army pussyfoots around and
their lethal grip goes beyond Lebanon into
Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia
and has infiltrated Bahrain.

release of “innocent prisoners”, but they

Hizbollah is not an opponent that can be
effortlessly quashed.
Some have become relaxed with the current
situation, but 14 Feb militia is becoming
more entrenched, with a dangerous
strategic plan.
It is time for the world
and people living locally
to sit up and take notice
of an obvious threat that
can only be eradicated
by the removal of the
masterminds and the
violent youth from the
streets of Bahrain.
Hizbollah, for
decades, has trained youth in guerilla
methodology of blocking roads with
burning tyres and use of weapons and
home-made bombs.
The very same tactics are used in Bahrain
by “peaceful protesters”.
The 14th Feb Coalition, the militia arm of
political party Al Wefaq, wears a uniform
that includes a balaclava with Molotov
cocktails as weapons.
Their sole purpose is to follow instructions
from their leaders to disable the economy,
transport and communication, to target

When they carry out parades in the villages,
this local army first blocks access and
turns off power in the vicinity of the
villages making it a difficult task for the
police force to enter.
Police are continuously attacked and they

The recent funeral of a young protester saw
the 14th Feb Coalition escort a coffin in a
military style parade followed by violence.
These same youth militia demand freedom
but are suppressed by their Shia leaders
within the hierarchy and will remain on the
streets for the rest of their lives.
Within the structure there are intellectuals,
planners and academics who publish
reports and analysis papers in support of
Iran’s Greater Bahrain movement.
All are financed to create legitimacy and
infiltrate in a skilful and discreet manner.
Youth are trained not only for the streets but
to manage media and ensure that at all
times protesters are depicted as peaceful
and if the international community will not
support Bahrain it is evident that this once
tranquil island will become a war-torn
country like Lebanon and Iraq.
Bahrain must make unified political
decisions to remove this perilous threat
for the sake of future peace and stability,
sooner rather than later.
