Jumblat Seeks to Bridge Gap between al-Mustaqbal and Amal-Hizbullah Alliance

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat is seeking to bridge the gap between ex-PM Saad Hariri’s al-Mustaqbal movement and the two main Shiite parties Amal and Hizbullah.

A minister close to Jumblat told al-Liwaa daily published Saturday that Jumblat, through his meetings in Lebanon and abroad, is seeking to revive contacts between al-Mustaqbal as the main representative of Sunnis in Lebanon and both Amal and Hizbullah.

“Contacts should not remain cut because this is unprecedented in Lebanese political life,” the minister said.

He unveiled that during Jumblat’s latest phone conversation with Hariri, the officials touched on the issue of reviving contacts. The minister refused to unveil whether the two men would meet upon Hariri’s return to Beirut from France.

But media reports said that the telephone conversation came to compensate a meeting that was scheduled to be held between the Druze leader and the Mustaqbal chief in a European capital but was cancelled the last minute.

Meanwhile, Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is scheduled to make a speech on Tuesday on the occasion of the party’s victory in the 2006 war against Israel.

I used to support you turbanator but you are filthy scum that has crippled my country. You smelly fat-rat dragged Lebanon into the 2006 war on your own. Please go back to Iran and celebrate your Iranian Islamic Revolution over there because it is NEVER going to happen in Lebanon. I have travelled to western countries and I envy them. I will not support any leaders in Lebanon (regardless of faith, sect etc) if they do not support the establishment of Lebanon as a western nation that will advance itself in education, business, technology, medical and democracy. We don't want Iran or Syria systems operating in Lebanon. I am ashamed of the brainwashed Hizb supporters in Lebanon (i used to be one) because they do NOT see what they are truly supporting .. a backward movement that is more concerned about Iranian, Syrian and Islamic Revolution agendas rather than the advancement and modernisation of the country and ultimate freedom for its people. I pity Michel Aoun supporters the most.

The picture, while I'm not sure why it was chosen for this story, says it all. Unthinking zealous sheep pledge allegiance to their flat screen TV Messiah with no idea where he is leading them (and us!).

Fitting that it looks like they are wearing yellow flotation devices from behind.

Joumblatt is trying to reinvent the wheel constantly. The political situation in Lebanon is so truly perverse, that no modus operandi exist to bridge gaps to dialogue, to try better, to try harder, to relauch the dialogue table etc, etc.... When at the end of the day, all what you' retrying to do, is bring together two parties, one which is directly or indirectly accused of decimating the political M14 establishement through cunning carefully concealed murder, and which has seized power through a smokeless ' Coup d' Etat' (following a serie of carefully calculated conditionning acts, and repetitive threats, whch made it unnessecary this time to pull the holster out!) , which has cheated and violated every rule they fought to establish (from violating the consensus rule at the dialogue table and dragging unilaterally lebanon into a nonsensical lost war, to violating the Doha accord, to overturning the rule of the blocking third in gov, etc...), foul players, which is conducting a real

real political cleansing at the adminstration level, you are asking then Mr Joumblatt the M14 members, to sit at the so-called dialogue table to talk about what?? The Hezb today has two faces to it, one which is dipped in legitimacy which is that, they represent a herd of followers, which one way or another, with the Farsi money, they have bought in, (in challeging and using to their advandage all the State failures which they have contributed to aggravate in the first place), and they' re keeping a strong grip on this crowd, unlike ALL other comunities which are politically divided.And they' re using that face to launder the other terror one, which is increasingly revealed to our bemused eyes, Mr Joumblatt first and foremost whne the article of the Der Spiegel was released, (and much more is to follow with Bellemare, very soon on this screen!) let alone what is perspiring about drug dealings etc etc...So Mr Joumblatt want to bring the first half of the Hezb,

So again Mr Joumblatt which gap do you want to bridge, and between who and whom? Is it the gap between the illegitimate political overthrowers, the unreliable foul players, Coup planners, which are putting a gun on the table before negotiating with people who will get nothing out of them expect, that sitting on the same table gives tem a legitimacy they' re seeking, or the militia organisation, which is facing carefully painstsakingly collected forensic and scientifically accumulated criminal charges agianst them (which they have silently fought from the beginning and then openly when the circle closed on them.They' re the only ones who probably knew from the very begining where Bellemare was heading to!) ? And then bridging which gap? Praising their killing accuracy, and cunning tactics? Discussing how the victims can help the criminal fend off the charges brought against him?? Please let us know Mr Joumblatt.

The Zombie Parade!! All hail the Diaper Headed fifth grade educated brainless slave master criminal one!! Yayh......

So be it.... Lebanon can do with a lot less of these blood thirsty dependent useless zombies...

Walid Jumplot is tasked by Bashar to try and unite the Muslims of Lebanon, just like his dad did, against the in3izaliyoun.

Walid Jumblat is dreaming od another Helf al RubaÏ , like the one who ruled Lebanon after Taef without the Christians and especially the Maronites .

FYI ; Al Helf al Rubaï , the Quadripartite alliance was made of PSP - AMAL - HEZB and al Mustakbal .. all Muslims without any Christian or a Christian party .. That's what Jumblat is trying to revive at the demands of KSA .

Such an alliance will never happen anymore after the return of GMA and his famous MOU with Sayed and the HEZB .

Keep dreaming Walid , this time you will not deliver ...

Le Phenicien what are you talking about the Christians were always very represented by the wonderful Sleiman Frangieh who was the only person in every cabinet from 1990 to 2005. Our brothers the Syrians did such a magnificent job during that time Sayyed Hassan organized a thank you demonstration, you remember that one you were there kissing a picture of Hafez's Ass-ad .

@ Former Hezb Supporter: i bet you read my name on this site, stole it and tried to make it your own. Even your comment is just copy paste from one of my previous comments with a few minor changes (such as names, countries).
God gave you a brain so use it! I'm sure you can be creative ;)
