Hans Rustad Hizbollahs generalsekretær Hassan Nasrallah, beskyldte Egypt for å ta Israels parti når dets utenriksminister kritiserte Hamas for å ha startet krigen i Gaza.
«What they are doing is casting blame on the victim,» Nasrallah said in a televised address to a rally staged by the Shiite group in Lebanon. «Yesterday we heard a senior Egyptian official blame the victim Can we allow such behavior from an Arab figure?»
The Hizbullah leader called on the citizens of the Arab countries to «take action in order to stop the Zionist aggression in Gaza and not allow this aggression to achieve any of its objectives. Arab and Islamic regimes that do not act – their citizens must force them to act.
«In the (Second) Lebanon War I did not ask this of the Arab world, but regarding the war in Gaza I say we are all obligated (to act). I call on hundreds of thousands of people to demand that their governments act and take responsibility,» he said.
Hizbollah, Iran og Hamas drømmer om at massene i land som Egypt skal reise seg. Det samme hører man fra kommentarer på Al jazeera. Men the Arab Street reiser seg ikke. Det er noen hundre som møter til protestmøter, men det er ikke den storming av Bastillen som de revolusjonære drømmer om.

«If the people took to the streets by the millions, could the police kill millions of Egyptians?» Nasrallah said.»People of Egypt, you must open this border by the force of your chests,» he said.
