Sayyed Slams ‘Sectarian Dictator’ Jumblat for Double Standards, ‘Crimes Against Humanity’
The former chief of the General Security Department, Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed, described on Thursday Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat as a “sectarian dictator” who would have let the Lebanese suffer under his rule if he had controlled the country.
Jumblat “is a small sectarian dictator in Lebanon” who has terrorized his Druze and non-Druze foes, has been involved in corruption and has ordered massacres and assassinations, Sayyed said in a statement.
His accusations came after the Druze leader criticized the use of military force against Syrian demonstrators. In an interview with Hizbullah’s al-Manar TV, the PSP chief also slammed the phenomenon of “Shabbiha,” pro-government armed thugs blamed for the killing of protestors.
The former general said God has had mercy on the Lebanese for preventing Jumblat from controlling the fate of the country. “Or else they would have suffered under him because of his mood, his sadism and the psychological disturbances that the Libyans haven’t witnessed under Moammar Gadhafi and the Russians under Joseph Stalin.”
Jumblat is the mixture of Gadhafi and Stalin but wears “a fake civilized mask,” Sayyed said in his statement.
He slammed the PSP chief for supporting revolutions in Arab countries that have no oil but for rejecting the uprisings where the regimes control huge amounts of oil resources.
Turning to the issue of the funding of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Sayyed said Jumblat backs the STL and its funding but at the same time supports witness protection and false witnesses.
Jumblat “is fooling no one but himself,” the former general said, stressing that it is about time for him to realize that we are living in the era of “seriousness” and “important” personalities rather than “small” officials.
“Had he been living outside Lebanon, he would have been sitting in an international court jail for his crimes against humanity during the Lebanese civil war,” he said.
