"Oh Courageous And Beloved Commander, We Are Waiting For You To Act To Liberate Palestine, Drive The Israelis Out Of Our Land

In his column in the online daily Raialyoum.com, Palestinian politician Bassam Abu Sharif, a former advisor of Yasser Arafat and a founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, wrote an open letter to Hizbullah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, in which he lavished praise on Nasrallah, stating that  the light in his face “reminds us of the light of the face of the Prophet Muhammad.” Adding that Nasrallah is a “courageous commander,” a source of hope, strength and inspiration whom the Palestinian and Arab peoples follow and  salute, Abu Sharif noted that today, after the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, it is possible to “uproot the Zionists from our land.” He therefore urged the operations room of the resistance axis, headed by Nasrallah, to draw up a fighting plan that will “deliver painful blows” to Israel and cause the Israelis to flee back to the countries from which they came. Addressing Nasrallah, he emphasized: “You are our commander and we await [you] at the gates of the blessed Al-Aqsa to pray together there... Our enemy will be destroyed… when the arrows reach its neck."
