Hafiz al-Assad frasi celebri
Any time Israel seeks to confront us, we will not feel any anxiety because we will be ready to confront Israel not only on the territory of Syria alone but anywhere in the Arab homeland.
The Arabs are one nation and Israel is a stranger to this nation and it has no connection with its aims. This is a self-evident matter which needs no debate.
I cannot imagine what the connection is between the fighting of Palestinians in the highest mountains of Lebanon and the liberation of Palestine.
There are thousands in Lebanon who do not have Lebanese nationality. Most Arab leaders have known this fact about Lebanon for many years. Many interceded, fought and struggled to resolve this problem, but it was not resolved.
The conspirators wanted to confuse us, but we confused them. They used various crooked means, but they failed. They failed to achieve a single objective. They tried to pull strings, but we cut them and we will cut all the strings.
Those who cry out from afar should know that I have no lust for power. I am only a member of this people.
The resources of our country are boundless but most of them are latent. You must search for them and set them to work so that we may benefit from them everywhere and in every field.

“Strike the enemy’s settlements, turn them into dust, pave the Arab roads with the skulls of Jews.”
