قتيل و11 جريحا باشكال بين مناصري أحمد الأسعد وحزب الله قرب السفارة الإيرانية

A brave action by lebanese who is sick and tired of Hizbollahs actions against the will of the majority of lebanese. Especially important and worrisome for Nasrallah that people from his own sect starts to make their voices heard. It will not be easy for those brave people, and we see how Nasrallahs armed gang reacts. However, its the only way forward to make Lebanon a truly democratic and peaceful country. And yes, we also need to remove the weapons from sunni extremists or christian and druze extremists for that matter (not that Ive seen too much of those over the last twenty years).

Every and any person, belonging to any or no political color, should have the right to demonstrate peacefully without being harassed, attacked or abused! Only in our "civilized" arab countries that these things happen.

Superb blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Many thanks!

Why am I not surprised to hear that the victim was anti Farsi. Guess who killed him, the same people that killed Gibran Tueni, Samir Kassir, Hariri, Gemayel jr, etc....

They want to turn Lebanon into Khamenei Iran and ASSad Syria...

Peaceful protests within their own community is their worst nightmare, and Hizbollah has to kill it in the very beginning. Again, weapons against their own fellow countrymen. I guess Nasrallah has to re-write his speech today, and include another unlikely story about US/Israeli plot.

Mowaten, FT and Josh hurry up find excuses for Hizbullah turning this country into a Hisbustan hijacking liberty and democracy.

All my respect to the brave Shia who chose to make a peaceful, democratic stand and make their voices heard. Shame on our authorities for not providing the most basic protection to people who try to exercise their most basic rights. What are the chances of arresting the thug who opened fire on them? You want to make a guess?

That HA is losing support of the Lebanese is neither tragic nor sad, but rather long overdue. What started as a legitimate resistance against the Israeli occupation quickly turned into Syria's main instrument of perpetuating its domination of Lebanon. This must end.

Ahmad Asaad should immediately call the ex US president George Dumbo Bush and ask him to send USS Cole again to the shores of Lebanon ASAP. The USS Cole should be accompanied by the other two floating destroyers, USS John McCain and USS Joseph Lieberman. Then we shall see Hizbullah supporters and fighters beg for mercy. bel ro7, bel dam, la sermeytak ya cheikh sa3d.

@the_roar: You fail to admit or see that HA has and is always a militia weakening the country and not the other way around. The president of the country and Gov represented by the majority of M8 claimed a disassociation policy for 2yrs, as soon as Iran tells Nasrallah to execute their agenda in Syria, the so called Lebanese militia acts based on Iran's commands same as in 2006 and the many assassinations against their opponents for the past 8 yrs same as Assad does it to his opponents in Syria (i.e. Ghazi Kan3an and many many others...). For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction so why not the rest get armed to defend themselves. in Summary HA will not get disarmed without a fight and by force at which point we will have a peaceful country when All militias are disarmed.

freedom of speech the hezbi way....at least those M8ers who want to picture the anti hezbollahi people as wahabis or "sectarian strife"will have to change their speech as hezbi went against other shia....

no respect whatsoever.... those "dead" were lebanese representatives thus they represented the lebanese institutions and also journalists which bravely stood up against your syrian masters!
but for low M8ers like FT killing MPs or journalists or innocent bystanders is fair game when they are against M8! you deserve no respect poor moron...

ft
wake up man.
we are now talking about Lebanon going down the drain of a ferocious civil war.
is that what you want?
there is no m8 and no m14 in this cntext, rather there is only the country.
does it mean something to you?

shame on you roar for supporting a foreign entity over your country.

would aounis accept to be beaten and killed while demonstrating for their ideas? i wonder if aoun will denounce this... oh! i guess he'll come up with an excuse or just shut up.....

You are dodging it, FT. Do you support what those black shirts are doing in the picture above?

"An army spokesman told Agence France Presse that Hizbullah partisans attacked the demonstrators."

just read the article and listen to the news instead of defending this militia....

Look at the pic. shocking.... they're barbaric.

"what does the picture of a martyr have to do with elections other than draw your vote through emotional response?"

same goes for your hezbi martyrs placarded in dahiye... LOL! but for hezbi it is ok, but M14 no... double M8 standards as usual.. pityful FT....

HA are stronger than ever . They are not going anywhere . In fact these protesters were not Shia , I heard from a colleague of mine that they were paid actors ( $ 50 ) to do this shot . Guess who was the sponsor? Exactly , Harriri , in to be precise it was his sister . What a failed stunt ! Fools just fools , not the actors , but the Harriri's desperation , shame shame , his ass must be itching so hard from these bad boys from KSA !!!!!

Actors without a job . Paid by Harriris' ($50) for this stunt !!!! Please give us real and true events NAHARNET !!!!!!

what a reliable source alpha! LOL... so i guess that justifies beating and killing? what about that? even if your scenario was true does it justify hezbis to beat and kill? stronger than ever? LOL!

avoid posting instead of making yourself a fool....

Yorgo... you pinpointed the problem... All they think about all day is "death to everyone", and all they prepare themselves all day to do is fight and kill.

the_roar's first two statements are consistent with the state of things.

Roar yes. M14 do make wrong assumptions and cant foresee the future. Yes the M14 revolution was stolen from us by the child king living in saudi and the false doctor. But these thieves are the lesser evil. The greater evil is your idol Assad el chaytan and Hezb iran... Killing peaceful protestors...
And I tell u, whatever comes around goes around. And one day, I dont claim to know when, Assad and his proxies will join the dustbin of history.... Meanwhile, the criminals are killing away...

These people are true and genuine patriots. May the martyr RIP.

Hizb Allah attacks unarmed protesters? Shocking! Ashraf al Nass of the national resistance against democracy.

What a bad stunt ! M14 are desperate ! HA just won a victory not lost it you idiots ! Why on earth would you have a demonstration, unless the opposite , right ? You just don't demostrate against a victory unless you are from the opposition ( ie m14) right ? What Dumbells you D.....heads are ! Propaganda has worked for you Dumbells but not to us Majority .... Bloody fools !!

The irishtimes already claims it was Hezbollah, http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/uk/syria-protester-killed-by-hizbullah-gunmen-in-beirut-1.1422163

Western media seems to have made up its mind/shows innerconvictions/slow news-day.

not weak at all only in your weak mind... it is the same principle: propaganda. but of course that only goes for M14 but it is ok for hezbis.....

well said

this was a cheap murder by hizbushaitan to silence these brave shia for protesting against iran.
how do you call someone who shoots an unarmed man in the back?
the shooter is well known as hizbushaitan, and he shot the guy in front of elements of the army.
this leads us to ask what was the army doing? is it as usual covering up for these hizbushaitan thugs?

This is the reality in Lebanon, the Glorious militia murders, intimidates and declares war at will. Heaven help anyone who would dare protest against then or their paymaster. As usual the Iranian/Assad cheerleaders have nothing to say, but the same old garbage.

A truly disgusting picture, cowardly Hizbullah Thugs in-traing for their Jihadist duty.

Way to go FT! +1 from me!

For real? Go to Al Arabiya website and look at the interview with someone in the protest.

What is the Army for if it cannot protect you and your life when you are expressing your opinion?! What good is the army for when in front of their eyes someone shoot another killing them and they standstill while he's bleeding on the ground to death?

WHAT IS THIS SECURITY FORCE GOOD FOR IF YOU ARE BEING KILLED RIGHT INFRONT OF THEM AND THEY CANT STOP IT, ARREST THE MURDERER OR TAKE ANY ACTION TO HELP YOU?

I don't care anymore, why are they being paid? What is their job? To hell with it stop paying the security forces if they are not doing their job let them find their job for whatever country or party they work for. This is beyond despicable. It's beyond believable that anyone is defending the murderers or justifying their actions.

TFEH LOK TFEH 3ALAYKON MALA SHA3IB TFEH WALA BISTE7EH OUL LEBNENEH!

We need to empower the Shiites whom disagree with Nasrallah the Chabiha terrorist and Berri the thief and former warlord.

Flamethrower, be honest, do you really believe it was a mustaqbal trouble maker and not an hezballah thug? Just look at the image above. Do you see how the hezbis are attacking protesters? What right do they have to do such a thing?

I guess hizb iran has drawn lines around the iranian and syrian embassies as places people arent allowed to protest. The hizb is just doing the bidding of its iranian masters.

ان من يقتل انسانا بريئا اراد ان يعبر سلميا عن رايه ضد جرائم "حزب الشيطان" في سوريا امام السفارة الايرانية بناء على اوامر الصنم خامنئي مصيره جهنم و بئس المصير. قتلاكم يا "حزب الشيطان" فطائس لان خامنئي الذي افتى لكم بالدفاع عن حزب البعث الجرمليس اهلا للافتاء بل هو حاكم جائر.

that's because they're the dumbest hence the most dangerous.

يلا يا قبضايات جعجع، 14 اذار فرجونا مراجلكون، هيداك حزب الله وهيديك السفارة، شو ناطرين يا شاطرين.

Please stop referring to our army as the only saviour to our plight.
The lebanese Army was destroyed,and our top Generals killed at the behest and under the command of a sick dictator called Aoun. This sick excuse of a human being is self serving and doesn't care a hoot about his country or its people.
What you have now are Army officers trained by the Syrians, Army Generals appointed by the Syrians and the majority of ground troops HA members.

Long live the resistance. Death to all traitors.

of course, no word by the iranian embassy about the regret of loss of life--

This is exactly what happened a few years back when the Syrian regime was still up and running... not much later, they left with their tails down between their legs.
this will happen again in a short while to HA.

wow Alpha so the guy that died was not shia? 3anjad? hek allak rfee2ak?...layk rfee2ak shi3i shi? mo2ayed la hizbocrap? ah, eh, t3allam shwy habibi please.

hizbocrap does that all over the south, post pictures of their ftees.

and with respect to elections? ma howi hizbocrap never stops campaigning with an annual visit to martyrdom of alHussain with his supposed pictures posted all over their areas and their stabbing of their bodies to ignite sectarian hated.
