Mustaqbal 'Strongly Condemns' Nasrallah's Stance on STL Funding
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc on Tuesday “strongly condemned the stance voiced yesterday by Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in which he reiterated his rejection and opposition to funding the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.”
“The Lebanese and the martyrs’ families were not surprised by Hizbullah’s position … especially as the party continues to protect its members,” who are wanted by the STL on charges of being involved in the 2005 assassination of former premier Rafik Hariri, the bloc said.
In a statement issued after its weekly meeting, the bloc added that Nasrallah’s remarks on Monday have highlighted Hizbullah’s “insistence on confronting the Lebanese and preventing them from unveiling the truth, as well as on confronting the international community and engaging Lebanon in battles that would expose it to several dangerous consequences.”
The bloc also warned that Hizbullah’s stance will prompt the international community to “question Lebanon’s credibility.”
“Hizbullah’s stance highlights once again the major threats posed by the ‘party of weapons’ and its gunmen, who are relying on military clout to dictate the type of their relations with others and tighten their control over the Lebanese state and its institutions and authorities,” Mustaqbal added.
“This negative stance reveals the truth about who is siding with the criminals and who is siding with the martyrs,” the bloc said, urging the government and Premier Najib Miqati to declare their stance on funding the tribunal “clearly, openly and without ambiguity” instead of launching “empty promises.”

Ya Mustaqbal; enough talk, it is time for action, it is time to have a Lebanese spring and clean house from the Hizballa and its M8 filthy supporters.

Thoses iranians Terrorist are soon gone! it is not worth getting upset anymore! bashar is falling, iranians getting isolated! always remember:
Lebanon will remain, as always, Lebanese without any labels. The French passed through it yet it remained Lebanese. The Ottomans ruled it and it remained Lebanese. The stinky winds of Arabism/Iranism blows through it, but the wind will wither away and Lebanon will remain Lebanese. I do not know what will become of those wretched people who claim that Lebanon is arabic or Iranian when Arabism and iranism disappears from the map of the Middle East and a new Middle East would emerge, which is clean from those dirty Arabism and iranism

Why didn't Nassy just come out and say "we did the crimes and that is why we won't fund the court". It is so blatantly obvious. When the truth is revealed, and Assad is gone, the Hezz will be on the path toward the dust bin of failed political movements.

As much as I would love those thugs and their masters to go to jail it is unfortunate that they represent a good proportion of the Lebanese population-including their pro-Assad friends- and that they cannot just be muselled-up, at least not for the long term. It won't work.
It is time to face the facts and to sit down at a table and say: We either build a state together or we divorce. It is like having a bully wife who comes home everyday, cheat on you and then beat you-up. You cannot have all the upside of democracy and freedom and none of the downside!

Strongly, weakly or baynabayny, nobody really cares about these clowns and their farce. They can fund it from the billions, did you hear me? BILLIONS that they and their Mafioso Rafic Syria stole from us, the decent Lebanese. The party and their Party are both over and gone. We need electricity. We need water. We need a clean environment. We need jobs. We need lower prices. We need everybody to get OFF OUR BACKS. GET OFF.
