When i was hearing about those journalists and how NTV and some other people were asking for their freedom, i thought they were arrested wrongly, beaten by security or something similar, but then i read what they were accused of, and was shocked of what they did .. or at least how they are claiming the injustice ..

Check out the story:
Two NewTV staff members were arrested after having sneaked into Zaher el Saddiq’s apartment in Lebanon, knowing that this apartment is being used for the Harriri’s case since it contains a lot of evidence.

What were they thinking? That they were going mess around with crime scene and get away with it?

It is more than natural for the police to arrest them and investigate with them, that is the strict minimum, walaw NTV has been blasting the lack of responsibility and work from the police concerning all crimes, and now that they committed one, its injustice?

Not only that, but those two journalists stole documents from the room.

Rot in prison for few days, or few weeks I hope, that will do you some good, and maybe give you ideas for another lame program with Nichan.

I tried on several occasions to understand Hezbollah’s arguments against the international tribunal and the modifications they wanna imply, yet all signs show that Nasrallah is running away from it and that show his party had an indirect role in those assasinations.

First, he argues that 14th of march are exploiting this tribunal and Hariri’s blood and all other martyrs’ blood … Fine, why not accept this tribunal then so they stop exploiting ?

Second, he argues that this tribunal is not the priority now but changing the government and new elections etc etc … Fine, why dont u agree on it then so we move on to other important issues ?

Third, he argues that the international tribunal might be controlled by Americans to harm the Resistance in Lebanon …

My answer is simple, if Hezbollah had nothing to be afraid of, i dont see any reason why he should get worried of an international tribunal appointed by the UN under UN and Lebanese agreed on regulations.

Only a guilty person is afraid of the tribunal ..and if HA was involved, we have to prepare ourselves slowly for witnessing HA’s downfall.

Fresh news from Russia today:
Bashar calls on Olmert to start peace talks, for Hizbulla he is a hero.
Saniora calls on Olmert to stop bombing us, for Hizbulla he is a traitor.
Can Hassan Nasrallah please teach us how he can convince his supporters of that? Because the rest of the world can’t!!!!

After exposing the history of Shiites throughout the Middle East in my first post and their struggle in Lebanon till the beginning of the 20th century in my second post , i will tackle now the role of the Shiites in the Lebanese War.

After being fought fiercly throughout the ages, the few feodal Shiites families who were leading the resistance were majorily eliminated, and the rest of the Shiite community had enrolled either in the Palestinian Resistance or in ideological and majorily leftist parties and groups.

(more…)

After overviewing the Shiites’ history in my first c, i will go through their history in Lebanon and the struggle mainly against Abbasides then Ottomans.

Shiites were first placed in Lebanon’s Bekaa and the South ( Jabal Amel) and few mountains.

Mamluks persecuted the Shiites in Jabal Amal when they sent Bani Soudoun to rule the Mountain. They treated the Shiites in an unhuman way and kept on doing so for years before their last leader was killed and Abbasides were weakened by the Ottomans who started to take over in 1649.

With the start of the Ottoman rule, the Shiites’ fate was no different and were slaughtered in numbers all over Lebanon and Palestine. In fact, The Ottoman Sultan Salim committed never-seen atrocities against the Shiites and numerous massacres.

(more…)

The purpose of those posts will be to shed the light on The Shiite community’s history and the reasons behind the uprise of groups such as Amal and mainly Hezbollah as well as their need to stay armed and the strong links to Iran & Syria.

I will not go through the Sunnite-Shiite conflicts throughout history, but i will resume it briefly to explain the major differences between those two groups and the wars that opposed them.

Shiites started showing as a political bloc that opposed The Sunnites’ hegemony in appointing Khalifas over all Muslims, considering that Ali ( The prophet’s cousin) is the most eligible to take over, noting that Ali had two children ( Hassan & Hussein).

Well i am sure the General will be just perfect to lead tribes over there.

FPM-ANGOLA

I was really shocked when a friend sent me this footage…Ok I knew of such practices going on, but to me they never took this magnitude…

It is sad that children are brought into this from such an early age…very sad…

and this tells a lot about the new generations that will come out from such an education…I would say we can kiss peace in the middle east goodbye for ages to come… Check Here

There are two times of the year when Lebanon flourishes, summer and Christmas. These are the two times of the year when Lebanese and tourists flock to Lebanon.

This year both the summer and Christmas season were ruined by Hezbollah. And they say they want a better Lebanon? No Lebanese would ever want to destroy the countries economy. Hezbollah couldn’t wait until after Christmas to demonstrate?

I still recall how some people used to attack us when we critisized Jean Aziz’s speeches years from now, and the reaction of those people nowadays when they saw the truth of that guy.

This is an article from 2003, during a conference in NDU on the 9th anniversary of LF’s disbanding (posted in Annahar).

اليوم، نشهد حالاً استثنائية في ظل الحرب على العراق والزلزال الذي تعيشه المنطقة، لكن الكلام يصبح اولوية عندما يتضاعف الخطر، فالمواثيق الاساسية تنعقد بالتزامن مع الازمات”.

وناشد الطلاب “ارساء موقف مسيحي لبناني متضامن مع قضايا الوجدان المسلم وموقف مسلم لبناني متضامن مع قضايا الوجدان المسيحي في لبنان كي نخطو الخطوة الاولى نحو نظام سيد مستقل”

وفي رأي عزيز، ان الشق الاول تحقق منذ عام 1990 وتم تثبيته في محطات عدة: عام 1993 ونيسان 1996 وصولاً الى الموقف الاخير الذي اعلنه مجلس البطاركة الموارنة

So according to Aziz, Taef as well as the years 93 & 96 were early phasesin achieving an understanding btw Muslims & Christians lol ..

But this is nothing yet, check this quote:
مثلما فعل المسيحيون عندما قدّروا تضحيات المقاومة في وجه اسرائيل. فدماء الشهداء هي امانة سيادتنا على هذه الارض، لأن وطنية الآخر هي من وطنيتي، والعكس صحيح”.

Comparing our brave martyrs to suicide bombers and brainwashed islamist militants …

And ‘la creme de la creme’ :
وعن كلام الرئيس بشار الاسد في ثمة شرم الشيخ، قال عزيز ان هذه “الكلمة تتّسم بالعمق والشمولية لأنها نجحت في تشخيص الاخطار لكنها لم تشر الى آلية المعالجة

And you ask yourself how Aziz got to where he is today, i tell you he was always there, but people were too blind to see it.

And we dare call them uncivilized ..

Walla those people have no respect for anything nor anyone.
First Frangieh goes on Manar TV insulting Batrak and no one apologizes.

Now Ali Ammar somehow manages to compare the tri-alliance Hariri, Jumblatt & Geagea to the Holy Trinity. What if someone did the same for a Muslim symbol ? We burn Beirut down eh ?
Honestly i wouldnt mind hearing from a Hezbollah member, but this is disrespectful from a high representative not to mention the foul language at first.

Eh walla chi bicharrif iza hek bye7ko Hezbollah in private meetings ..

Annahar posted a link to an 8-pages document on Gebran Tueni.

It is a valuable document on the great man that Gebran was.

Al Jazeera site posted today a lie about LFers and PSP militants involved in a fight in the Bekaa and reported 1 dead and three wounded on the front page.

No one mentioned the story except them and they removed it later on .

Another false rumor by this crappy TV.
