Al-Mustaqbal to Hizbullah: Fighting Takfiris is the State's Responsibility
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Al-Mustaqbal bloc on Tuesday lashed out at Hizbullah's “war against terrorists” in Syria, saying that the party should have consulted the Lebanese state in that matter.
"(Hizbullah leader) Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah did not consult the Lebanese people or the state before going through with what he calls a war against Takfiris,” al-Mustaqbal lawmakers said in a released statement after the bloc's weekly meeting at the Center House.
They pointed out: “He did not consider the interests of Lebanon and its people.”
The MPs stressed that fighting criminals, terrorists and outlaws is the responsibility of the state and its institutions.
In a broadcast speech he gave at a ceremony marking the end of the July 2006 war, Nasrallah explained that his combat in Syria is against Takfiris, vowing that he is “ready to personally go fight in Syria if necessary.”
"Nasrallah and Hizbullah are held responsible for the deteriorating security, political and economic conditions in the country and which expose Lebanon to all kinds of dangers,” the bloc stated.
“It is all a result of the reckless decision to get involved in the fighting in Syria.”
The lawmakers condemned last week's “terrorist crime” in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
"We denounce all forms of violence against any human being in general, and against the Lebanese in particular,” they said.
A huge blast took the lives of 27 people and wounded 280 others last week in Beirut's southern suburb.
"We call on the concerned judicial and security bodies to intensify their investigation to uncover the perpetrators, try them in courts and penalize them.”
The MPs noted that these bodies are the “only parties with the legal, political and popular cover tasked with preserving people's security.”
"We ask all concerned political authorities to support these bodies and safeguard them against political, party and sectarian interference.
However, the bloc rejected the security measures adopted by Hizbullah following the blast.
“We denounce these procedures because they remind us of self-security measures that were adopted in the past and that lead to a demographic segregation between the Lebanese,” it explained.
"This is an attack on the state and on legitimacy. Hizbullah should leave matters of security to official bodies.”
Also, al-Mustaqbal bloc considered that Hizbullah's “policy of accusing parties of being traitors” affects the possibility of resuming national dialogue sessions.
The MPs reiterated calls for withdrawing Hizbullah fighters from Syria, expressing that this would be a start for resuming national dialogue "on the basis of believing in the state and its authority."

I dont support Mustaqbal but I admire how they fight against a Lebanon dominated by HA and acting for iranian interests. They have cojones, it's not because shias are the biggest sect and have the strongest militia that they will decide of sunnis future. No way we'll accept an iranian-style dictature, better off with a civil war then...

Well, I support Future/Mustaqbal however I'm not married to them. The day they mess up big time is the day I'll stop voting in Lebanon (or anyone) .
Nobody is politics is clean, here in Europe they're all filling up their pockets by hiring their own companies for roadworks etc... But they're not killers. M14 are not killers although many did during the civil war. M14 isn't setting checkpoints on the highways, doesn't fire at cars if they don't stop....
This is the apanage of the terrorists, incarnated today, but some M8 elements.

Fighting Takfiris is the State's responsibility??
Meanwhile they facilitate the delivery of weapons to these takfiris in Syria. Hariri along with his Saudi masters arm the salafi extremest in Nahr el Bared a few years ago. And on top of it all, defend Assir and his rats after they kill members of our armed forces, all while accusing the army of using too much force and doing the work of HA...

anonymetexasusa, naharnet has removed my post twice providing the evidence you have requested implicating Hariri quite directly in the funding of armed gangs for the FSA. Shame, really. But rest assured evidence exists.

anonymetexasusa, hah of course not. Also no tweet. It's an interview with a brigade commander questioning how he can lead such a battalion being the supple age of 27. At the end, the following is said:
"Did you see what Hassan Nasrallah said today? He was on TV." a compatriot of his.
"We are frank and he is frank too. We are soldiers of his majesty King Abdullah and his excellency PM Hariri.
Allah willing, we will stand with Israel when it destroys Hezbollah. And we will stand with the US when it destroys Iran... with everything in our power." He responds, nonchalantly as he plays with his phone.
"All this talk will not change anything on the ground. This is a confession from him, it is not just talk anymore." He then sighs and leans back. This is from July of this year(repost).

anonymetexasusa, they'd throw me out obviously. Probably hold me in detention beforehand. Would anyone believe even slightly that regular citizens can win court-battles with top politicians? No way. Besides, there's lots of evidence against HA and no one's doing squat, so.

(any lawyer can also argue it's just sentimental the commander's statements or something to that effect)

anonymetexasusa, yes of course, assuming all those things. Makes you wonder though, does it not? He certain is capable.

anonymetexasusa, the issue of whether or not he's of Syrian nationality is of little relevance, seeing the participation of thousands of foreigners from across the Middle East (and indeed the world); guy's probably Lebanese if true.
Also, I remember the father in your story fearing retribution from the government et. al (e.g. shabiha) once he's back in Syria. This probably applies to some of the others as well. Eh, I'm sure most of the citizens dislike and fear praising Israel in any way, yet I'm also sure that some hold quite an opposite view, as is the chasm with most things everywhere.

more BS...
In March 2007 Seymour Hersh, investigative reporter for New Yorker magazine, suggested that the Lebanese government was giving support to Fatah al-Islam, in order to defeat Hezbollah.[13] Independently, Dr. Franklin Lamb, a researcher at the American University of Beirut, a Hezbollah expert and the author of "Hezbollah: A Brief Guide for Beginners," made similar allegations. He claimed that David Welch, Assistant to Secretary of State, negotiated with the Saudis and Saad Hariri of the American-backed Siniora government to funnel aid to Fatah al-Islam, so that the Sunni group could eventually attack Shiite Hezbollah.

cleanleb, Lamb is ... well, dubious at best. Baseless allegations are of no use. He cites facts sometimes, and solid references in others, but his interpretations are very biased since he's one of the westerners who are anti-american, pro-palestinian, anti-zionism, and while that's understandable, he should regardless stay with facts and not opinions.
FT, I don't believe you should be banned for such things unless your mouth is foul. Freedom of speech should be upheld regardless of opinion or the person.

What, you want to continue what you started with PM Rafic Hariri?
@naharnet : please ban this person.

But that was what was said as far as the state being responsible for fighting the Hariri-funded, sheltered, shielded and supported Sanni takfiri cowards and losers! Perhaps it was said in karchouni and we know that Sanni First only understand Sannian.
