‘Implicit Understanding’ to Fund STL Over Fears of Sanctions on Lebanese Banking Sector
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese leaders have reached an “implicit understanding” to fund the international tribunal after receiving Western warnings about possible sanctions if Lebanon rejects to pay its share of funds, An Nahar daily reported Friday.
The newspaper said that President Michel Suleiman, Speaker Nabih Berri and Premier Najib Miqati have been informed by Western officials that any procrastination in the payment of Lebanon’s share would expose it to sanctions that could target its banking sector.
Hizbullah, which calls the Special Tribunal for Lebanon an American and Israeli tool, is also aware of the dangers of such a warning, An Nahar said.
Upon his return from New York end of September, Miqati could transfer the funds to the foreign ministry, which in turn would pay the $32 million owed by Lebanon, it added.
Meanwhile, STL spokesman Marten Youssef told An Nahar that the court was sure that the premier would fulfill his promises.
“It’s true that other countries contribute to the funding of the court but this doesn’t mean that we are not waiting for Lebanon’s contribution,” he said.

Let them understand how blessed r. hariri was, those short-sighted idiots who decided to kill him and kill the other free lebanese thinkers. R. hariri sent the Syrian army out of lebanon from his grave, we could have never dreamed that they would leave. The curse of hariri is following the killers 24/7, they will not enjoy anything of their spoils, they think they can rule lebanon?? look how pathetic their "government" is, the very same jumblatt will topple it in few months, look to what is happening in Syria, there is no room in this world for oppressors and murderers, if they decide to keep their arms on our heads it is only a matter of time before the rest of the lebanese become "muqawama" as well only this time against the iranians, just imagine how easy it would be to obtain weapons following the fall of the Syrian regime. I hope the she3a community come to their senses and decide to build the country with the rest of us, otherwise we are heading to another civil war.

i have seen the post from filthy zionist militia information war department under the nick "shab", claiming that he invented slogan "filthy militia" and i'm stealing his copyright.
the problem is shab that you use this term in totally confusing manner and therefore you cannot claim the copyright.
somehow you connect our glorious resistance with this filthy zionist miltia which is complete ignorance over the historic and present facts.
I know that you belong to filthy zionist information war department and that causes great deal of confusion in you. I don't know, but i can imagine seeing one world and that coming to work being instructed to promote a different world, that does not egzist. It's hard to imagine what kind of psychological trauma that kind of job causes to you, but i see your simptoms are in advanced stage.
Tell your bosses to move you to Jordanian section of information war department. In this section, the difference from imagined and real is not so big. For now...

realist.. the ones that want a civil war are you and your american "so called friends" that will sanction you if you dont pay up 30 million $. do you know how small that number is to them.
do you not realize that even gea gea and gemayal are 3rd rated humans to your friends. they only care about one thing ..$ and israel's safety.
it seems most of you here care about of israel's safety more than lebanon's

time is running out for the shia/farsi, they have to decide now the kind of life they want to live in.
there will never be wahhabies in bilad el arz nor civil war in syria,the regime is dying ,the unknown is just the quantity of misery the syrian people will endure.

Dear Jabal Amel:
I read your incoherent gibberish about the Zionist militia, and for that I must award you today's "Billy Madison" prize. It is a nice statue of a midget carrying a Hezbollah flag, his head up his anus, yelling nonsense about 'Zionist in information department.' It is engraved as follows:
"What you’ve just written is one of the most idiotic things I’ve ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent, nonsensical post were you ever close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone who had the misfortune of reading your post is now slightly dumber.
May you rest in peace "
With kind regards
