-- Even in Syria, the "Resistance" stands accused of ignoring the rights of Palestinians and the fact that Islam calls upon all Muslims, regardless of their race or nationality to see themselves as brothers and sisters in faith. One Sheik at the Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque' in downtown Beirut recently expressed the view of many in an email: "The killing of another Muslim is strictly forbidden but given Iran's strategy of breaking governments in this region one by one and then controlling them, Tehran has ordered its "Resistance" to pit Arab Muslims against one another and especially to "Resist" Sunni Muslims. One way to achieve Iran's hegemonic project is to find a loophole in Islamic law whereby Iran's theocratic leadership labels Sunni Muslims apostates or Kafirs (non-believers). Hence the creation of the "Takfiri" canard as a weapon for conducting a hegemonic war in this region labeling Sunni Muslims, and increasingly Sunni Palestinians as "Takfirs" claiming that these and Sunni Muslims are impure."
By training and often commanding more than a dozen Iran funded Shia militia from half a dozen countries, Lebanon's "Resistance" was organized starting in 1981 by Iran's newly established Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on orders from Ayatollah Khomeini has its interests far from Lebanon's Palestinian camps . According to the New York Times of 8/28/2017 Hezbollah has evolved into a virtual arm of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, providing the connective tissue for the growing network of powerful militias."
A Russian military source in Palmyra emphasized to this observer a while back that the "Lebanese "Resistance" takes orders from the Iranian IRGC commander Qassim Solemani who, he claims, Vladimir Putin considers the second most powerful man in Syria today. Taking heavy combat loses with more than 4000 reportedly killed and approximately 9350 wounded and busy with Iran's regional agenda, the "Resistance" is accused of having little if any interest beyond speeches to honor its claimed " Moral and Religious Obligations to Lebanon's Palestinian refugees" according to a majority of Palestinian camp leaders interviewed recently.
Hezbollah claims that its interventions across the Middle East are merely an extension of the "Resistance" against Israel. However, the "Resistance" is increasingly accused in Lebanon of benefitting Israel by avoiding "Resistance" to Israel in order to apply its "Resistance" targeting Muslims across the Middle East. According to the New York Times of 8/28/2017 the "Resistance" has become the mercenary "Blackwater" of the Middle East.
Below are proposed some essential "Resistance" Palestinians civil rights actions Iran, Syria and Russia and other Members of the global community should support by all means at their disposal. This while Palestinians in Lebanon try to convince the Lebanese "Resistance" to use its dominant political power in Parliament to enact legislation fully implementing these elementary civil rights.
These elementary civil rights have, since the 1982 Massacre at Shatila, been increasingly ignored by the "Resistance" due largely to sectarian politics. Yet, they are fully and quickly able to be enacted by Lebanon's Parliament if the Hezbollah-led "Resistance" will finally act.
What specifically needs to be done is well known in Dahiya South Beirut and Tehran from countless petitions communicated by supporters of Palestine including the Palestine Civil Rights Campaign (PCRC) founded in 2008 in Washington DC and Beirut Lebanon. They include strengthening the Palestinian civil rights initiatives that have been proposed and one or two that in a weak form were actually adopted but as was predictable they were quickly shown to be largely ineffective.
One of the latter was the 2005 Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee (LPDC) with a mandate to address matters related to the social and economic well-being and security of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and to formalize relations between Lebanon and Palestine. This initiative did result in the reopening of the PLO office in 2006 it also led to some Palestinian political factions engaging in dialogue. But it has to date failed to achieve its other basic goal which was to improve the humanitarian situation of the Palestinian refugees by achieving any elementary civil rights for Palestinians. A main factor is judged by many including this observer as being indifference from the "Resistance"
