Hezbollah is a fascistic, sectarian organization

I understand how the limited space forces us to exclude some arguments and objections—I had to exclude many citations myself, but my opponent ignored many points that supported my position: (1) 7 and 11 2008 May incidents, (2) Fascistic zones in Dahiyeh and other regions, (3) Persecution of Sayyed Mohammad Ali El Husseini, (4) Persecution of Rami Olaik, (5) Future TV burning and many others. A- On Hezbollah's official statementsMy opponent provided official statements from Hezbollah's Press Office that are against sectarianism and fascism, while disregarding a leaked video of Hassan Nasrallah, in which he states that Hezbollah's ultimate goals are to defeat Israel and create an Iranian-like, Shiah state in Arabia, back when he was an influential and popular spokesman for Hezbollah[1]. I leave the decision to the readers on what is more truthful: the leaked video or the public media statements. If my opponent is looking for official writings describing Hezbollah's ambitions, she needs to look no further than to a book (almost a Hezbollah manifesto) called "Hezbollah" by Naim Qassem (Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary General), whereby Qassem confesses Hezbollah's ultimate dream of starting an Iranian-controlled, Shiah state and goes further to say that Khomeyni has in his hands all Hezbollah's decisions[2]. I will provide citations from that book which is available on Amazon, if my opponent cannot access any copy of it. B- On Hashem Salman My opponent completely ignored Hezbollah's fascism when it attacked the peaceful protesters on June 9, 2013, and focused on a less important aspect which is Hashem not being called a "traitor" after his death. Unfortunately. my opponent's response was entirely built on a Strawman logical fallacy. She argues, "Pro claims that Hezbollah called Hashem Salman a 'traitor. '" If you go back to my argument, I never actually said that. What I said is the following, "Hezbollah attacking peaceful protesters in front of the Iranian embassy and killing Hashem Salman on June 9, 2013, and then objecting to giving him a burial in his home-town because he is a 'traitor. '" This doesn't imply that Hezbollah made an official statement considering him a traitor, but they refused to bury him because of such reason. Here are the citations which explain how Hezbollah members refused his burial[3,4]. The only reasonable conclusion I can make is because they refuse to bury traitors, unless my opponent has a better explanation to offer. C- On Hezbollah's Involvement in SyriaMy opponent concedes that Hezbollah, after some refusal, got itself involved. However, she commits a false analogy logical fallacy in her response when she says, "Pro claims that Hezbollah is fascistic because it is supporting a fascistic regime in Syria. By this logic, the US is an Islamic organization because it supports the Islamic rebels. " There is also a Strawman fallacy here. I said previously "Hezbollah's role against the FSA is thus fascistic because it is fighting to revert Syria back into a fascistic regime. .. " I didn't say "Hezbollah is fascistic because it is supporting a fascistic regime. " According to the our definition of fascism, giving money to potential (or actual) fascists doesn't make you a fascist. Fascistic: Expecting unquestioning obedience and acting in a tyrannical manner that involves censorship, compulsion and persecution. Hezbollah, not the US, is participating in tyrannical acts that include compulsion and persecution. Hence, the analogy is false. C- On the assassinations My opponent claimed that all the murders I presented are unsupported, claiming that "there have been no arrests and certainly no convictions for these murders. " Has there been one single arrest of the Hezbollah members holding sticks and beating protesters in the picture below? No. Hezbollah is a fascistic organization which imposes its fascism on the Lebanese judicial system and security forces, and I shall treat the lack of arrests as further evidence that supports my position. I've already mentioned how Hezbollah refuses to give convicted suspects to the Lebanese authorities. Besides, my opponent is completely wrong about the murders being unsupported. C1- Evidence that Hezbollah killed Hashem Salman:1- Eye witnesses in the event, including a Reuters reporter who saw the whole thing[5].2- Pictures of Hezbollah members attacking the protesters[above]. 3- The fact that Hezbollah refused his burial in his hometown[above].4-. Look at the last picture I posted. You can see a potential gunman from Hezbollah. C2- Evidence that Hezbollah killed Moustapha Geha: 1- Fatwas(authoritative and religious dictums) were issued by pro-Hezbollah Sheikhs calling for the death of Moustapha Geha. For example, in 1983, the Jaefariya Authoritative Court issued a fatwa that dictated him as an infidel and apostate[6]. Note that Hezbollah members highly respect that court.2- His investigation case was mysteriously closed when Hezbollah and the Syrian regime were controlling Lebanon, but Moustapha Geha(junior) recently re-opened it[7].3- His anti-Hezbollah books were all removed and banned from the Lebanese libraries[8].4- His son's assassination attempt after re-publishing one of his father's anti-Hezbollah books, "Khomeyni Assassinates Zarathura. [above]"My opponent accuses Moustapha Geha(junior) of faking his assassination to get political asylum in Sweden. I ask my opponent for evidence that Geha couldn't have afforded a passport like most Lebanese immigrants. The BoP is on my opponent in this matter. D- On Hassan Nasrallah's speechesMy opponent ignored the second point I raised on Nasrallah saying 7 May was a glorious day in the history of Lebanon, and responded that it is not fascistic to say "We will cut the hands of anyone who arrests one of our members. " The following expression is a common expression. .. but also a violent threat directed at the Lebanese security forces. I leave the reader to decide whether such speeches are fascistic or not. F- On Hezbollah's Involvement in Bosnia: My opponent mentions Hezbollah's involvement in Bosnia as proof of their non-sectarianism, even when the military operations of Hezbollah and the Syrian army eclipse by far this participation. Even Hafez Al Assad once commanded his army to fight alongside the coalition forces to liberate the Sunnah of Kuwait in the 1991 gulf war. This surely was a non-sectarian move, but it doesn't at all counter all the sectarian atrocities he committed. Same goes for Nasrallah. G- On Ibrahim El Amin's InterviewEven though he is not a Hezbollah official, I used his quote to show the presence of such thinking among Hezbollah supporters who are identified as intellectuals. Mr. Ibrahim did not come up with this idea in his office. He learned it from the culture that surrounds him. The news correspondent only acts shocked to add controversy to his show. I have not seen one public apology from the channel to people like me, especially that Mr. Ibrahim went further and said people who are anti-Hezbollah need mental rehabilitation. In summary, my opponent has not offered effective refutations but focused on ambiguities and used Stawmans, ignoring many important points that dealt with Hezbollah's characteristics and practices. I gave ample citations for Hezbollah's persecution, compulsion, atrocities and murders. .. and even explained and cited Hezbollah's ultimate goals and current practices which are clearly fascistic and sectarian.
