Hezbollah’s chief monkey is worried that ISIS\/ISIL\/Islamic State poses a threat to his own Lebanon. Makes sense since Hezbollah is Shia and ISIS\/ISIL\/Islamic State doesn’t like the Shi’ites very much. Reports Reuters<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Islamic State also posed an existential threat to his own nation, Lebanon, the target of an incursion by Islamist insurgents from Syria this month. He said his heavily armed Shi’ite Muslim group was ready to fight the threat in Lebanon – if required.<\/p>\n

The Iranian-backed Hezbollah has been helping Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fight a Sunni Islamist-dominated insurgency that spilled into the Lebanese border town of Arsal on Aug. 2, triggering five days of battles between the Lebanese army and militants including members of Islamic State.<\/p>\n

“Here we live, and – if the battle is imposed on us – here we fight and here we will be martyred,” said Nasrallah. Hezbollah said it stayed out of the Arsal battle, wary of inflaming sectarian tensions with Lebanese Sunnis, many of whom have supported the uprising against Assad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Things were so much easier when they all just hated Jews. I guess the Obama Administration won’t be able to solve this one either. I’d recommend we just stand back and watch the fur fly. Maybe encourage both a bit. Iran is helping Iraq, Hezbollah is an Iranian client – I can see Iran sending messages to Hezbollah to expend some of that ammo the Iranians have been sending them to use on Jews, but on the ISIS\/ISIL\/IS folks instead.<\/p>\n
