Geagea: We Need New Government Independent of Hizbullah's Influence
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea slammed on Wednesday Hizbullah's fighting in Syria, warning that it will incur “severe consequences” on Lebanon.
He therefore demanded the formation of a new government independent of the party's influence, while saying that the LF supports a technical extension of parliament's term instead of the adoption of the 1960 electoral law for the parliamentary elections.
He made his remarks during a press conference to respond to Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's recent speech on Saturday.
“Hizbullah has demonstrated that its interests are above all else,” Geagea continued.
The party's actions are provoking Sunnis in Lebanon and are leading the country towards the abyss, he declared.
He therefore called on the Free Patriotic Movement to break it alliance with the party “otherwise it will have to bear the responsibility of the collapse of the Lebanese state.”
He also demanded the formation of a “salvation cabinet, devoid of Hizbullah's influence, that will be able to defend the country and its interests, away from the equation of the people, army, and resistance.”
Hizbullah is functioning independently from the Lebanese state and its laws and principles, he continued.
“The real problem is that there exists a gap between what the Lebanese people want for their state and what Hizbullah is forcing them to go through,” he said.
“The principles that the state is based upon are different than those that Hizbullah believes in, as demonstrated by Nasrallah's latest speech,” he noted.
Hizbullah has never missed an opportunity to diminish the authority of the state for its interests, he added.
The LF chief said that Nasrallah wondered what the Lebanese state and people have done since 2006 to confront Israel.
“Wasn't the March 8 camp controlling the state from 2006 until now?” asked Geagea.
“The March 8 camp had its hands on state institutions during and after the time of Syrian hegemony,” he remarked, therefore saying that the party should not be entitled to criticize an authority that it had the main power in.
“Hizbullah does not want a Lebanese state, but a new ummah that answers to Iran,” he said.
On Nasrallah's statements that the Lebanese army is not being properly armed, Geagea said: “The Lebanese people are being cheated in being led to believe that the Lebanese army is being armed.
“There is only one way to create a balance of power between the Lebanese and Israeli armies and that lies through asymmetrical war,” he said.
“The only way for the army to assume its responsibilities is through Hizbullah to get off its case because the party is not allowing the party to perform its duties,” he stressed.
In addition, he refuted Nasrallah's claims that the army is incapable of defending Lebanon, saying that Israel assaulted the country between 1949 and 1967, years before the party was formed.
Commenting on Hizbullah's fighting in Syria, Geagea accused Nasrallah of distorting the truth in the crisis.
He said that Nasrallah claimed that the party was combating American, Israeli, and takfiri agendas in Syria, wondering how these these contradictory agendas could unite against Syria.
The LF chief instead said that Hizbullah is using this claim as a cover for the party's real purpose for fighting in Syria and that is defending Iranian interests.
Several reports have said that takfiris make up no more than ten percent of the gunmen in Syria, he said, while remarking that Hizbullah itself and the Syrian regime used “to employ these extremists to do their dirty work, as demonstrated in the 2007 Nahr al-Bared clashes” between Fatah al-Islam militants and the Lebanese army.
Hizbullah's fighting in Syria will incur dangerous repercussions on Lebanon and it is leading the extremist Nusra Front to Lebanon, he warned.
The party is also paving the way for Sunni-Shiite strife in Lebanon and a consequent civil war “simply because Hizbullah's interests are above all else”, he cautioned.

Geagea: I demand the formation of a government capable of defending Lebanon and achieving its interests, away from the equation of the army, people, and resistance.
-
29 May 2013, 17:23
Geagea: I urge the FPM to break its alliance with Hizbullah, because the country's fate is more important than a few parliamentary seats.
-
29 May 2013, 17:22
Geagea: Isn't Nasrallah aware that his fighting in Syria is provoking Sunnis in Lebanon? He can disregard this because Hizbullah's interests are more important. This is the bitter truth.
-
29 May 2013, 17:21
Geagea: Hizbullah's interests are more important than anything else and its fighting in Syria will have severe consequences on Lebanon.
-
29 May 2013, 17:20
Geagea: Hizbullah is fighting in Syria in order to defend Iranian interests.
-
29 May 2013, 17:20
Geagea: Hizbullah and the Syrian regime employ these extremists to do their dirty work, as demonstrated in the 2007 Nahr al-Bared clashes.
-
29 May 2013, 17:18
Geagea on the takfiri threat spoken about by Nasrallah: All reports say that takfiris make up less than 10 percent of the forces in Syria.
-
29 May 2013, 17:17
Geagea: Why wasn't resolution 1559 approved before 2004? It was approved until after Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon and Israel was the only power that opposed the decision.
-
29 May 2013, 17:15
Geagea: The only time that Lebanon witnessed a period of Israeli occupation took place under Syrian hegemony.
-
29 May 2013, 17:15
Geagea: Nasrallah warned of Syria's collapse in the hands of the U.S., Israel, and takfiris. How can it fall in the hands of all of these powers combined in the first place?
-
29 May 2013, 17:11
Geagea: The entire world knows that an implicit peace agreement has been in effect between Syria and Israel since 1973. So tell me Nasrallah, what role does Syria play in the Arab-Israeli conflict?
-
29 May 2013, 17:07
Geagea: Nasrallah portrayed the Syrian regime as being very liberal and tolerant of political freedoms.
-
29 May 2013, 17:07
Geagea on Hizbullah's fighting in Syria: Nasrallah is attempting to distort the truth over the developments in Syria.
-
29 May 2013, 17:06
Geagea: Nasrallah said that the Lebanese have nothing but Hizbullah. This is not true. Why didn't Israel attack Lebanon during the 1950s and 60s at a time when it was assaulting Arab states? The Lebanese army has been effective in defending Lebanon before the party's existence.
-
29 May 2013, 17:04
Geagea: What kind of victory did Lebanon achieve during the 2006 war?
-
29 May 2013, 17:03
Geagea: Nasrallah said that Lebanon has Hizbullah, which helped liberate the country against Israeli occupation. Let us agree that the party has achieved temporary victories, but it never defeated Israel.
-
29 May 2013, 17:00
Geagea: The army will definitely perform better against Israel in case of an assault because it enjoys the people's support and is recognized by the whole world.
-
29 May 2013, 16:59
Geagea: Hizbullah is not allowing the army to perform its duties.
-
29 May 2013, 16:58
Geagea: The only way for the army to assume its responsibilities is through Hizbullah to let it be.
-
29 May 2013, 16:58
Geagea: There is only one way to create a balance of power between the Lebanese and Israeli armies and that lies through asymmetrical war.
-
29 May 2013, 16:55
Geagea: The Lebanese people are being cheating in being led to believe that the Lebanese army is being armed.
-
29 May 2013, 16:54
Geagea: The March 8 camp had its hands on state institutions during and after the time of Syrian hegemony.
-
29 May 2013, 16:53
Geagea: Since 2005 until now, Nasrallah did not allow Lebanon to enjoy any degree of independence, freedom, and sovereignty.
-
29 May 2013, 16:46
Geagea: Nasrallah wondered what the Lebanese state and people have done since 2006 to confront Israel. Wasn't the March 8 camp controlling the state from 2006 until now?
-
29 May 2013, 16:43
Geagea: Hizbullah has never missed an opportunity to diminish the authority of the state for its interests, leaving it as nothing but a skeleton.
-
29 May 2013, 16:42
Geagea: The difference between us and Hizbullah has gone beyond politics, but it is touching on fundamental principles.
-
29 May 2013, 16:41
Geagea: Nasrallah is suggesting linking Lebanon to Iran and Hizbullah's ideologies.
-
29 May 2013, 16:40
Geagea: Nasrallah criticized Lebanon's sectarian fabric. The very fact that Nasrallah made this position defeats the purpose of his proposal seeing as his party is purely religious.
-
29 May 2013, 16:38
Geagea: Nasrallah said that the Lebanese state is suffering from a fundamental problem in dealing with Israel. He consequently eliminated the whole of Lebanon and made it seem that only Hizbullah knows how to operate in the country.
-
29 May 2013, 16:37
Geagea: His only way to resist Israel is through violence. This will only lead to Lebanon's loss and defeat.
-
29 May 2013, 16:36
Geagea: Nasrallah had said that the Lebanese state had never dealt with Israel as an enemy.
-
29 May 2013, 16:36
Geagea: Hizbullah chief Nasrallah considers that his manner of resisting Israel is the best way to do so.
-
29 May 2013, 16:34
Geagea: The main problem we are suffering from is the idea of the state in Lebanon and Hizbullah's own vision of the state.
-
29 May 2013, 16:33
Geagea: Lebanon is headed towards the abyss.
-
29 May 2013, 16:33
LF leader Samir Geagea during press conference: A party that is supposed to be Lebanese has violated the national charter and all laws.

I wonder how the agreement between Aoun and Hezbollah has helped: (1) safeguard lebanon, and (2) steer hezbollah in the right direction.... Fools!

All these speeches. Just send him a letter. What do these leaders expect the people to do after hearing these speeches. I guess they expect them to start a war, and hoping that they win their point for them.
29 May 2013, 17:10
126
More of the same hyperbole from Geagea. What Lebanon needs are solutions not memorized political rhetoric ...
Geagea mentions the army yet delivers no suggestions on how to make it more effective. What about curfews for Tripoli?
Geagea says Hezbollah is not allowing the army to do its duties but in no way substantiates his allegations.
This is a failed speech even by Geagea standards. The people want answers and action not finger pointing.
29 May 2013, 18:10

Mentioning the authoritarian elements of the KSA doesn't justify the authoritarian elements of the Syrian regime.
Nasrallah made it seem as if the Syrian regime still had legitimacy to take part in political dialogue, as if its crimes in the past, prior to and throughout the uprising, can be completely forgiven.
30 May 2013, 02:10

any proof geagea's on saudi payroll or just FARCE news agency propaganda ?
30 May 2013, 03:05

Actually, it is not. KSA is very repressive but the regime in Syria is downright criminal.

FT - For the love of God, be reasonable here. You just had the most powerful party/militia in Lebanon push Lebanon into a full fledged war in Syria. You have a state within a state that could care less what you or I think and takes orders directly from Iran. We either build a strong state where the monopoly of weapons is that of the state or we live in a zoo. Let us stop BS-ing each other here. Either you support a strong state with a monopoly over arm and decision to use it or not. Till now KSA, Lebanese parties or both are not building a real parallel army. If the decision is to sink the Hizb is the Lebanese sink hole, say goodbuy to Lebanon. And be under no illussion, if they decide to do so, they can. Please m8 supporters: be reasonable.

OK, embrace and Live with the Persians, and lets see how much your and/or Lebanon's net worth will appreciate.

waited for a while before posting a comment, to let all of you m8 to post your blind hatred :)
first Geagea has said it the way it is, so you like it or not is up to you, but that is the reality of things.
the Iranian ambition to have a recognized control from iran to the Mediterranean sea is a dream that will not happen.
they were expecting a deal with western countries through a conference, but they are not even admitted on Syria discussions, thus their role is not accepted even for Syria.
29 May 2013, 17:48
118
@ geha ~ " Iranian agendas which is in short provoke an international agreement whereby they would control the area between iran and the Mediterranean sea which would be recognized by western powers as their area of influence."
Billions of dollars have been spent by the US-GCC cabal to create tension and violence across the region. It has been the US-GCC cabal that has destabilized Iraq, Syria and now Lebanon ... not Iran ... You have it all backwards dear geha.
29 May 2013, 18:42
26
mc - are you for real??? When the US was in Iraq, it was Syria and Iran supplying the Al-Qaeda with transit lines, money and weapons. It came to the point that the Maliki government threatened on several occasions to refer Syria to the United Nations. Iran and the regime in Syria have no problems wreaking havoc if it serves their interest. At that point no-one cared about Shia religous sites being blown up or hundreds killed in processions. There are cabals but Iran is at the head of the most ruthless one. The others are child-play in comparison.
29 May 2013, 20:09
12
And my iraqi wife can tell you how iran was inciting and funding shia militants in iraq to attack sunnis as well.
29 May 2013, 17:44
97
iran, through hizbushaitan or directly, have been trying to create problems all across the region just to achieve this illusion.
now they are starting to realize this will not happen, thus they are trying to up the odds through getting openly and directly involved militarily.
what will happen?
- iran will be ousted from Syria.
- iranian influence in the Gulf countries will be minimized to the extreme by uncovering all their terrorist cells.
- hizbushaitan will be uprooted soon.
- then iran will implode from within as its people will ask for accountability from their tyrants leading them to disaster.
29 May 2013, 17:50
117
Wrong dear Geha ... It has been the US-NATO-GCC cabal that has destabilized the region. They have spent billions of dollars to wage war, violent and economic, in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. And those are the indisputable truths.

keep dreaming what you are fed by you beloved hizbushaitan.
wake up before it is too late and see exactly what is going on.
29 May 2013, 18:00

and you want us to believe that iran was an angel in the arab world?
do you want us to believe that iran, the farsi, has something to do with arab affairs?
who welcomed iran to take a role in arab affairs?
wake up ft.....

FT
you will soon be surprised to the extreme when you will see the fpm criticizing hizbushaitan :) this is coming fast, and it is a matter of timing for your general.
he is now aware that his alliance with hizbushaitan will be the demise of the fpm if he doas not change course fast.
29 May 2013, 18:03

unfortunately for you it is not the reality of things :) you are up for a major surprise....

yes they got 8% of the sets in elections where geagea was still in prison, but we all know the tide has dramiatically changed which is making your general extremely nervous about the upcoming elections.

ft
this is not sectarian talk: this is analyzing a reality :)
but maybe you are too dumb to realize the difference?
all that hizbushaitan has done so far was to exacerbate tensions between sunnis and shia, starting from may7 to taking over the cabinet and forcing Hariri into exile, to what is going on in Tripoli , to what is going on in Syria....
but you are blinded by your total sheep mentality .....
29 May 2013, 18:05

oh ft come of it please.... the moment iran and hizbushaitan got involved in Syria (from the beginning of the conflict) it became sectarian.
they will pay a dear price for their involvement.

I didn't want to comment at all. But I just loved the "that's why Assad is undefeated". Haha. Wow. Well who was he up against pray tell. A one man boxing match and this guy wants to compare him to Ali. How dense.

Wallah I feel bad for Lebanon. So much hate and so little structure or unity. Perhaps it would be best to redraw the borders of the whole region. the north of lebanon and western iraq could be absorbed into a greater syria for sunnis. Southern and central lebanon could be for christians and the shia can go to eastern iraq with their brothers there and be close to iran which is what they really seem to want.
29 May 2013, 18:23
44
This is a fantasy. I don't "like" Israel but they aren't going anywhere. If arabs put half the energy into building themselves up as they do hating and opposing israel......
29 May 2013, 18:46
11
Idris gray, if you had been subjected to what israel has done to arabs (monly only against palestinians and lebanese) you too would be oposing it. And yes indeed it will go away. Gog and magog ashkenazis will be defeated. People like you think arabs blame israel too much when in reality we dont blame them nearly enough. Their dirty hands are involved all over the world in civil wars, poverty, theft, instability and much more. Their filthy hands have caused much problems in africa without getting blamed for it, just to give you an example. Those who want to tell arabs what you just said are nothing but ignorant of what is going on and what has been going on ever since colonialism reached the middle east and africa.
29 May 2013, 18:52
12
Its clear what your intentions are idris gray, you are coming from an anti-shia viewpoint and not an anti-opression pro-justice viewpoint. Your hatred is so strong, your even willing to make israel seem like a lesser evil, the same israel that systematically stepped on qurans and bibles and turned mosques and churches in to barns, nightclubs and toilets. Whatever diffirence i have with hezballah, it doesnt mean israel is the good one. Thinking like that is for weak cowards who go by the ancient bedouin thinking of hypocrisy ie the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Stupid fools always fall for that logic.
29 May 2013, 20:52
10
hahaha, yeah the white man this, the white man that. I'm a "zionist jew" because I done't hate jews. It's obvious where your head is at and it is not objective. Yes a lot of people died in WW2 but the Nazis main target was the Jews, including the women and children. This was not part of the war but a genocide. Sorry, nobody in the arab world has been persecuted more than the jews.
29 May 2013, 21:09
10
hey did you ever stop to think that maybe the jews are a little touchy because someone tried to kill them all before and now most of the arabs want to kill them again?
29 May 2013, 19:16
32
Siyesh it's funny that you accuse me of hatred and then spew such overwhelming hate towards Israelis as if they are the cause of all the world's problems. Yes they are guilty of abusing the palestinians (and lebanese) and stealing some land. But if you look at the big picture it is minor compared to what many powers have done. And historically the jews have suffered far more than either the christians or muslims.
29 May 2013, 19:17
22
As for me, I don't hate anyone. I just broke bread with some shia the other night. I am an American Muslim and I don't hate anyone. In fact, the tribal hatreds of the middle east is something I can never relate to.
29 May 2013, 19:51
11
Idris, if i want to spew out hate against israel thats my right since they are an unnatural body here that came to occupy, steal, murder and lie. And not all of the problems are from them but a whole lot are, far more than what they get blamed for. It is certainly not true that jews have suffered more than others, not even close. You sound just like any other brainwashed american. You even suggest to displace millions of lebanese and claim lebanese shiites should be moved close to iran "cuz thats what they want" and then you pretend your superior to middle easterners and dont have such hatred. Yeah right!
29 May 2013, 19:58
11
As an american you dont have a right to condemn middle easterners when you guys have just as much ignorance as americans, in fact i would argue, when it comes to knowing the world problems, no people have as many ignorants per capita as americans do. You invaded iraq while most americans even couldnt point out where iraq is on the map. Your country is occupied by AIPAC, your media constantly incite against others (blacks in the past, arabs today) yet you guys wanna pretend like you dont have tribal hatred?? Italian americans, hispanics, blacks, irish and many other americans would argue yout wrong since they have faced lots of tribal hattred in the US.
29 May 2013, 20:02
31
siyesh, I said what I said about the shia in lebanon because right now they seem to care more about iran and the larger shia world than lebanon. I'm sure there are good and loyal lebanese shia but hezbollah cannot be considered such. You say israel is an "unnatural body." So what about the arabs in palestine, lebanon, syria etc? Were they not foreign invaders and imperialists as well? Sorry but it's not so simple as you would like to make it. As for the Jews, you are probably one of the guys who claims that the holocaust never happened...
29 May 2013, 20:19
20
Ah yes, we are "controlled" by AIPAC. Not surprising to hear this from you. Americans treatment of the blacks and native americans is a stain on our history, but that is the past. And the Irish and italians hispanics etc were never hating and killing each other like what we see going today in the ME. America is not perfect and I don't think I'm superior but I state the truth. The tribal hatreds (and that includes israel)of the arab world are destroying you guys.
29 May 2013, 20:27
21
Yeah bigjohn, that's the christians, and then the arab muslims came in the 7th century and colonized the levant. I'm not complaining but that is a historical fact. And the Jews have been Israel since 1000 BC so what?
29 May 2013, 20:46
10
Idris, your just another brainwashed american who wants to talk about the middle east faults while ignoring the same faults in his own backyard. Actually, i do believe the holocaust happened but unlike you, i havent been brainwashed in to ignoring the millions of christians, handicapped and roma people that were killed in that same time. Arabs of the levant are can not in anyway bw described as unnatural since we are descended from several people who were here since thousands of years and have stayed put but in true american ignorant fashion, you assume arabs are all from arabia. The small percentage of jews that were in palestine are not the same as the immigrants descended from converts to judaism. Your politicians make hajj to AIPAC to get their aproval before even thknking of running for any seat, of course your controllee by AIPAC.
29 May 2013, 20:48
10
Americans are masters of racism and tribal hate. Hispanics have a current drug war going on in south america. In italy there were maffia wars just as brutal as any other war so i have no idea what ur talking about. Your just babbling, nothing else. In your own army, asians and other minorities get bullied and beaten up.
29 May 2013, 20:56

ok then guys, hezbollah and iran will solve all your problems. good luck with that
29 May 2013, 18:07

Being recognized by all of Lebanese is what matters for a military institution. Unfortunately, Hezbollah has lost the privilege it once had of defending the country. That privilege was based on popular legitimacy, and it has lost that amongst the people due to its polarizing and unilateral actions.
Do not bring up the actions of M14. I am well aware of some members of Mustaqbal's involvement in Syria. Right now we are discussing Hezbollah, and I am simply criticizing Hezbollah's belief that it continues to hold the privilege of being Lebanon's primary defence force against external aggression.
29 May 2013, 18:08
12
But an organization that claims to represent the whole country should not base many of its parties' activities on a particular sect, nor justify its actions from a particular religious belief.
29 May 2013, 18:55
11
"they have no activities known as 'shiaa activities'"
They hold public activities on Shiite holidays, and relate their struggle and resistance rhetoric to events in Shiite history. Their ideological foundation is also based and derived from Shiite scholars. Now I have no problem in an organization expressing its religious belief, but I do have a problem when that organization happens to present itself as the country's sole legitimate defensive institution.
If you want to present yourself as a Lebanese organization, then you must only present your organization on characteristics that all Lebanese can identify with.
29 May 2013, 18:13
24
That is quite a limited perspective of victory. I wouldn't call the death of thousands of Lebanese and the wiping out of 15 years of economic growth a victory. In the end, which country was hurt more in the 2006 war? Israel or Lebanon? In both social and economic terms, I say Lebanon.
29 May 2013, 18:27

Economical growth, research, stability, development, education, civility, independance ... This is how you fight! This is how you win! This is how we were winning until 1974! We should have been Monte Carlo, we are Baghdad!!!

Where was Dubai then!? Where are they now!! We had the culture, the brains, the most beautiful Land... today it's all crap! We are being braught down one century because Nasrallah has an agenda! He always had the same agenda! See the link that yorgo posted below... nothing has changed... but the hypocrisy and the lies...
Zionists Plot you say!? They are just seating on their a..ses having a good laugh at us!

Positive neutral. Nicely stated.
Ya Geagea. What you says makes sense and is true 100%. But what is the point of repeating it.?
You want to help? Start by fixing your relation with the other Christians, stop your stupid boycotts of everything, dialogue with the other party. Want to help more? Go to Russia to pressure Iran to diminish the grip on Lebanon. Lobby the US to give us 1B USD to compete with HA in buying Shiite votes. Do an undergroung reinforcement of moderate peace loving Shiites.
But for gods sake stop complaining and boycotting all day long.

look at those brave FPMers who criticizes geagea critics of hezbollah... he is only repeating what aoun said for YEARS... so i guess aoun was wrong for years then why do you follow a leader that has been wrong for years?...
in both cases you are just a topic of laughter and mockery....
pityful FPMers.... repeating like parrots what their general says; no dignity whatsoever.....

LOL FT! bashar has been doing the same atrocities than those you are blaming salafis of... so why do you fiercly defend a party allied with a perpetrator of such atrocities too? means you are just an animal too, different kind but still an animal defending a terrorist regime that tortured butchered raped blow mosques smashed dead bodies under their tanks caterpillars....
how come then you are any different than those you blame? LOL

Geagea: blah blah blah blah blah blah
al-Mustaqbal: Geagea, say this. Geagea, do that. Geagea, come here. Geagea, go there. Geagea, here's your pocket money...

"Fal ya7kom al ikhwan".
"These are our allies in the March 14 movement",after Wahabi terrorists invaded, pillaged, and burned Ashrafieh to the ground on February 5, 2006.
Filthy Saudi-Wahabi puppet.

Bottom line, Hezbollah has been implicated and indicted, based on evidence, of the murder of Rafik Hariri, a former Prime Minister. This alone should force them to immediately be excluded from the current government and any future government.

And that doesn't include the many murders they committed for which there is not enough evidence yet to indict them

“There is only one way to create a balance of power between the Lebanese and Israeli armies and that lies through asymmetrical war". I take it, H.A. will ever be ready to do that. I can't wait. Persian tactics! Yalla, instead go to Syria and die for the Persian puppet. He serves your master's interests in Iran.

I don´t know how the supporters of Hezbollah are still supporting them. My Shia brethren used to tell me that these weopons wont be used inside Lebanon or against any arabs, its just for the israeli enemy.
I accepted that explanation. But now what? Can you explain for me how we can accept that a political party that sits in the Lebanese government is involving itself in a war outside Lebanon? All credibility is gone for both Hezbollah and the sheep that are insisting on following the party...

So, what positive are there of HA being in the government--since 2005, they have started a war with israel, staged an 18 month sit in at parliment, staged an armed takeover of Beirut in May 2008, brought down 2 governments, been indicted in an assassination attempt on Geagea (of course, he isn't in jail), a minister's brother selling bad drugs to people (he isn't in jail either), probably involved in Wissam al-Hassan's assissination, and scared away the tourists.
And did I mention they continue to steal electricity and don't even fly the Lebanese flag? What makes them privy to being in the government again?

stop associating hatred for hezbis with hatred for shias... so convenient isn't it?

FT - it is true that as an individual you could be religious without being sectarian. NOT TRUE FOR PARTIES. THINK BEFORE YOU RESPOND.

What!!! Hezb is not needed in Leb. We don't want to replace them with anything.

Well said. Enough of Hezb charades & manipulations. Each day that passes by is an opportunity lost for Lebanon's advancement.

some of the comments on here are a disaster. I am actually surprised by the fact that very few people see the big picture. Btw can someone tell DR.G that the situation is beyond Bchare ?

This Dr. Arreet 7akeh is one unbelievable dude. Now I understand why he is adored by his followers, Drs. Arteena Satleh. It is his quality of not only predicting the future... well... umm... duh... wrongly???, but more so for predicting the past... well... umm... duh... wrongly???, too! Nobody beat Dr. Arreet 7akeh and nobody will. wlak min addak ya 7ak...awati dajjal? Just look at the bland faces on Drs. Arteena Satleh congregating at his of-late uncountable blabber-churning symposiums.
