War of Words between Hariri and Berri over Politics and Diving
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Speaker Nabih Berri snapped back at former Premier Saad Hariri on Monday saying the Mustaqbal movement leader should have practiced his hobby of diving rather than being involved in politics.
“Hariri has revealed in his electronic interviews a number of his personal hobbies, one of which is diving,” Berri said in a statement.
“The Lebanese have also discovered a new hobby of the ‘sheikh’ which is politics. Better he dive in the former than the latter,” he added.
Berri’s remarks came after Hariri told his followers on Twitter on the occasion of Eid al-Adha that he would not vote for Berri during the next elections for the speakership.
“No voting for Berri anymore if we win the election. That is a promise,” Hariri said.
The former premier also tweeted that he was practicing the hobby of diving.
“I just love to dive anywhere, it’s calm under the water, it’s beautiful and I would love to dive all around the world,” he said.
Asked by one follower: “If you had to teach something, what would you teach?”
Hariri replied: “Scuba diving in spite of Mr. Berri.”
On the Arab Spring, he said: “Look at Tunisia, look at Egypt, look at Libya in the end the people will get what they want freedom.”
“I think the Syrian opposition should have a say on that what they want and to be clear of what they want. I can't answer for them,” he said in response to one tweet.

I am happy when i see two sectarian leaders exposing each other..I am sad when I see naïve people taking sides.....My friends the two corrupted billionaires Berri and Harriri are partners in a phony company called Lebanon....Don't become the salves of any sectarian leader.. They need you more than you need them...
Free your minds...
Cheers
