“Political sectarianism is blocking the development of the Lebanese political regime and standing as an obstacle in the face of a democracy where the majority rules and the minority opposes,” stressed Nasrallah and added that abolishing political sectarianism is a “basic condition” for the implementation of the majority-minority rule.
When reading this quote, Hezbollah is the last party that comes in mind, yet this quote is one of many in Hassan Nasrallah’s speech yesterday, where he announced the party’s new manifesto.
So what’s new about this manifesto ? Absolutely nothing, except more hypocrisy, lies and a failed attempt to tone down the Islamic Rethoric.
Only a fool, or someone following blindly Michel Aoun, would believe for a second that the party of GOD, the Islamic resistance (previously revolution) in Lebanon wants to abolish political sectarianism and work for a secular united Lebanon.
Nonetheless, this is not the first time we hear about abolishing political sectarianism and definitly not the last from the Shiite leaders. Nabih Berri never misses an opportunity without bringing it up, and Hezbollah has been hinting at it for a while now.
The reasons are plently behind those demands and can be resumed as follows:
- Shiite parties have always relied on demographics and the capacity to increase their influence by increasing their numbers.
- The divisions within the Christian community are ideal for such demands, as it will make HA’s mission to take over the country politically much easier.
- Hezbollah fears federalism and division as both scenarios will isolate further the Shiite community.
Christians must be very aware of the consequences of such demands and stand up to Hezbollah and point out his true intentions. The terrorist party is playing a very smart ideological game and knows time is on his side.
As for the rest of the points in the manifesto, it is the same old speech we hear at every occasion.
- Recognizing the role of the Lebanese army and praising Lebanon’s sovereignty, knowing that Hezbollah killed an army officer not long time ago and invaded Beirut and undermined the army’s presence not so long time ago as well.
- Demanding a consistent fight of corruption and more competence in the government organizations, while they have their own mini-republic and never bother paying taxes or bill.
- And of course the “Death to America, Death to Israel” slogans to fuel the large crowds.
