"حزب الله يزور بكركي الثلاثاء لحث الراعي على الغاء زيارته" الى الاراضي المقدسة

so now this terrorist extremist Iranian militia wants to dictate to the patriarch where he can and cannot go?

Ok let's ignore the source for a moment , if this was true what would your response be? FT?

If the patriach can sow the seed of any future peace agreement I'm all for it

i truly do not understand what is the big deal in the patriarch not only visiting jerusalem but meeting who ever he see fit? shu el mashkal? egypt and jordan have israeli embassies,syrian officials unofficially were meeting with israeli all these years, eih shu etre plus royaliste que le roi or is all this a show and a game?

HA has always been against this, regardless of what crush says wasnt on al manar.

How can Hizballah try to stop the Patriarch from visiting Jerusalem, when for years they have been claiming that they intend to march on Jerusalem.
What are they scared of, that he will get there before they do.
If the Patriarch were to met with Israeli officials, as Egyptian and Jordanians he done for years, it can only bring about a clearer understanding between Lebanon and Israel, and what exactly is wrong with that ?

Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said Thursday al-Rahi was not part of the official delegation heading to the Holy Land and was going on his own initiative.

Pretty courageous move to go there without being part of the official delegation.

Are "normal" citizens allowed pilgrimage to Jerusalem? As in is there a law against that?

I wouldn't be surprised if this was accurate, not after the way the Cardinal's visit is being portrayed in As-Safir and Al-Akhbar editorials going as far as using biblical analogies to condemn it.

I bet you all that RAI will change his mind!!

LOL, so iranians are controlling parliament via Berri,FPM,SSNP,Marada and HA, controlling army intelligence and LAF through colonel Ali Chahrour and many others, controlling our southern and eastern borders, choosing our president and even trying to control the batrak...

sooner or later you and israel will be trodden under the shoes of HA .

Seems Hezbollah illiterates don't get the message. If you're against Rahi going to Jerusalem, then you are not welcome to Bkirki.

In fact, Hezbollah is a foreign Iranian organisation so should not interfere in Lebanese politics. It's enough they are trying to hijack the country.

It's simply non of their damned god's business (God of Kalashnikov that is !)
