Pr.Sleiman : - سنتابع قضية الاسرى في السجون الاسرائيلية

And the Lebanese in Syrian prisons ??? mich mawjoudeen !

I seriously dont understand why everyone is so glued to the tv to watch Sleiman get elected.
I’d rather watch Monaco GP ..

Enjoy watching the pig Mouallem cheer for his next president.

A Lebanese mother has given birth to triplets around 20 months after her two-year-old son’s death in Israeli raids on the town of Ghaziyeh during the July-August 2006 war, An Nahar daily reported Tuesday.
It said the triplets, two boys and one girl, were born at the same hospital in the southern port city of Sidon where Hadi Jaafar died from wounds he suffered during the raids on Ghaziyeh.

An Nahar said the newborns were named Hadi, Jihad and Nour al-Houda.

“I am happy that I delivered three twins…I didn’t expect to get pregnant after my suffering and grief. I wished for one baby…but God gave me three instead,” the mother, 23-year-old Raja, said.

I got pictures of the Hezbollah militants that PSP fighters kidnapped and killed in the Mountain, and videos of the SSNP killed in Halba.
I will refrain from posting them but i can email the pictures ( videos are too big to be emailed) for those interested.

Even though i condemn Hezbollah for starting the attacks, but no human being deserves to be treated and killed that way … this is the work of savages ..

Freedom of Speech is a red line !

Lets hope this is the last time we witness such shameful incidents !

Hezbollah wants to unleash the gates of hell on Sanioura and Mufti Qabbani made it clear tonight Hezbollah crossed the line and the Sunnites will not stay silent !

This is turning into an ugly Shiite-Sunnite conflict that hopefully will not degenerate.
Sunnites are already starting to close roads tonight and tomorrow will be a heated day.

I was hoping for Hakim to go meet Aoun despite all differences and agree that there will be no Christian interference in this fight whatsoever … Aoun already was smart enough ( or most probably chickened out) and did not participate in today’s demo ..

Here are few excerpts from Qabbani’s speech few minutes ago:
8:51 Qabbani called on Hizbullah leaders to pull their armed men out of Beirut’s streets and its central district.
8:50 Lebanese Sunna are fed up with Hizbullah practices, Grand Mufti Qabbani said
8:48 Hizbullah is trying to overpower Lebanon, Qabbani added
8:47 Qabbani warned Hizbullah against attacking the Lebanese civilians and hegemony over the Lebanese state and governmental institutions
8:46 Hizbullah has become an armed force aims at occupying Beirut , Qabbani said

After the PEACEFUL UNARMED demonstration today, The Opposition threatens to start a civil disobedience in case the government doesnt back up …

اكد مصدر معارض لوكالة الصحافة الفرنسية ان الاضراب الذي تشهده العاصمة اللبنانية بيروت اليوم الاربعاء وما يرافقه من قطع طرق سيستمر ويتحول الى “عصيان مدني” حتى تتراجع الحكومة غير الشرعية عن القرارات الاخيرة التي اتخذتها. وقال المصدر عدم الكشف عن هويته “الاضراب الجاري بكل ما فيه سيستمر وهو مثل العصيان المدني وذلك حتى تتراجع الحكومة عن قراراتها الاخيرة”.

Such a good joke !

An Opposition headed by an armed militia, that does not pay any bills, has its own police and army and telephonic network, that does not consider the government legal wants to start civil disobedience ..

This is a putch against the state, this is no civil disobedience and unless destroyed by force, it will destroy Lebanon eventually ..

Here is a small definition of what civil disobedience is :
Civil disobedience is the active refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government, or of an occupying power, without resorting to physical violence

As expected, another ‘workers’ demonstartion turned into an HA armed assault on 14March regions and on public properties, however today’s demonstration was not just intended to show muscles, but Hezbollah is executing a pre-set plan to block the airport and even maybe invade it ..

Since the early morning, ‘peaceful’ demonstrators backed by armed Hezbollah & Amal militia men are trying to invade Sunnite regions in Beirut and take over Future Movement’s offices …

All sorts of light and heavy weapons are being used and the airport road is blocked totally and there are talks about tents being set there ..

I posted yesterday about the french delegate kidnapping, and after it was confirmed by Hezbollah, here is the full story as told by the delegate himself and published in Naharnet.

A French delegate to a Socialist International meeting in Beirut described his captivity in a windowless cell by armed men who “spoke on behalf of Hizbullah.” Hizbullah justified his detention, saying it was motivated by security concerns.
At a press conference hosted by Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat, French politician Karim Pakzad said he was kept isolated in a small cell for five hours.

“I banged against the walls so that maybe someone could hear me,” Pakzad said from the Bristol Hotel in Beirut.

He said that he was taken blindfolded to an unidentified location where his captors took away his cell phone, wallet and medicine.

Pakzad said the kidnapping happened as he was touring the capital in an open-top car with a Lebanese friend and taking pictures of a mosque along the airport road, near Hizbullah’s stronghold in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

“Armed men asked us ‘why do you have a camera?’ and ‘what are you doing here?’” before viewing the pictures he had taken with his digital camera, Pakzad said.
(more…)

Another civilized act by the terrorist Hezbollah !!

I wonder how they will justify that !!
In my opinion, they heard him speak french, but considering their illiteracy ( sermeyit el sayyid 7assin abda min el 3elem), they thought it was hebrew so they took him away !

Update: One of our readers ‘c’ pasted an article where it shows HA released them only after he knew they were not Israelis.
So my joke turned out to be real …

A French delegate to a Socialist International meeting in Beirut said on Sunday that he had been briefly detained the previous day by armed men linked to Hizbullah.
Delegate Karim Pakzad told a Beirut news conference that he was stopped on Saturday by armed men who “spoke on behalf of Hizbullah.”

He said they questioned him for five hours before freeing him.

Pakzad said it happened as he was touring the capital in an open-top car with a Lebanese friend and taking pictures of a mosque along the airport road, near Hizbullah’s stronghold in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

“Armed men asked us ‘why do you have a camera’ and ‘what are you doing here,’” before viewing the pictures he had taken with his digital camera, Pakzad said.

He was taken blindfolded to an unidentified location where he was kept isolated for five hours, adding that his captors took away his cell phone, wallet and medicine.

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat, who hosted the press conference, said he wished that the government “alone” would be in charge of security and of the war-and-peace decision.

PS:I didnt have time to review that book, the author had one before called guerre maronite or something like that. She is a woman filled with hatred, unjustified hatred though against Samir Geagea and is just pouring it in her books, kinda reminds me of Cobra’s last book

However i did post it to expose some the atrocities committed during war, atrocities btw us Christians, maybe to get some readers to understand the consequences of reacting to the Kataeb members killed on Sunday, and the inner wars that it might start! .

La milicienne a déposé les armes

Jeune chrétienne maronite quand la guerre du Liban éclate en 1975, Régina Sneifer s’engage dans les milices chrétiennes. Vingt ans plus tard, elle affronte ce passé dans un livre, « J’ai déposé les armes ». Une autocritique exigeante à l’image de celle qu’elle rêve pour le Liban d’aujourd’hui

«On n’est pas nombreux à dire “il n’est pas beau notre passé”. Mais on ne passera pas à une autre étape si on n’ose pas regarder ce passé en face. Pendant la guerre, on se voilait la face. Aujourd’hui encore le voile est toujours là.» Ce soir d’octobre, dans un café autour de la gare Montparnasse, dans le brouhaha de la salle, Régina Sneifer s’exprime d’une voix douce teintée d’une légère intonation levantine, mais avec passion.

Même après avoir quitté son pays en 1986 en pleine guerre, le Liban continue de l’habiter. Et pourtant, alors qu’il vient de replonger dans la guerre en juillet, et encore plus à cause de cela, elle voudrait que tous les Libanais puissent enfin regarder leur Histoire en face et parler. Faire ce travail que Régina, l’ancienne combattante des Forces libanaises, a accompli. Vingt ans après, en 2006, elle vient de «déposer les armes », le titre de son livre la fin d’un long cauchemar (1).

Celui-ci commence le dimanche 13 avril 1975 quand une fusillade éclate entre des Palestiniens et des phalangistes libanais. La guerre fait irruption dans la vie tranquille de l’adolescente de 13 ans dont la vie s’écoulait dans « un ennui docile qui paralyse ma pensée », écrit-elle. Pour tous ceux qui le connaissaient, le Liban, « petite Suisse de l’Orient », n’était-il pas synonyme de douceur de vivre ? Ses parents, chrétiens maronites, vivent à Hadath, dans la banlieue sud de Beyrouth, entre l’église et le cimetière.

I posted earlier yesterday that the Zahle incident was out of personal and not political reasons. Just to clarify one thing, personal does not mean the man had personal issues with those he killed, since he apparently was shooting randomly, but that the fight was initiated after an exchange of insult and curses between the killer and Kataeb supporters.

Joseph Zouki is a thug and a criminal and is very well known in Zahle. From what i heard, he killed his 19 year old cousin in a personal fight long time ago, shot him straight in the head. Later on he commited a crime in 1993 and was jailed for 12 years before being released.

Zahle’s sons are divided between Skaff supporters and 14March supporters and the situation is tense since ever between the two.
Even though Kataeb members are free to celebrate their new office, they were supposed to be more careful and take further precautions and alert the army.

I am sure they asked the army to be present during the ceremony and they were there, but in insufficient numbers and badly spread. They should have surrounded the area and isolated the region until the event is over, and they should AT LEAST waited till everyone left to leave the place, not after Sami Gemayel and few Kataeb officials leave.

There is a huge responsability here on the security forces and their laziness and major incompetence, and i have addressed on tons of occasions the major incompetence and infiltrations found in the army and the ISF.

How to react to this event ?

Sami Gemayel reacted wrongly in my opinion, what is the point of adding more fuel to the fire ??
What is the point of showing off and stretching our muscles ?? We are the biggest losers if war erupts ! we Christians only !!

As Sheikh Amine bravely reacted when his son Pierre was killed, Sami should have calmed everyone and let justice prevail.

Second of all, it should not be turned political because it is not. Its the law of the strongest in some regions in Lebanon and everyone knows it, i am sorry to say that bass fi 3alam rassoun tanke wou bi2awsso 2abel ma ye7ko !

Kataeb & all M14 parties should stay away from such thugish environments and discipline their supporters at all time.
It is shameful to see brave Kataeb members die this way, and it is more shameful to see politicians scoring points on their behalf !

I find it hard to believe that all this was planned .. and i find it ridiculous that M14 leaders are reacting that way !
We have a president to elect, we have deadlines and all of a sudden, such an incident occurs and we all lose our temper and get on the offensive !

If you really want justice to prevail, you elect a president, clean the security forces and track the criminals !
The masses are allowed to react instinctively, but leaders should be the ones leading, the wise ones who know how to calm things down and achieve justice in democratic ways.

Finally, all my respect to those brave men .. may they rest in peace and may God Bless their families.

After the incident yesterday, i spoke to some of my friends from Zahle and they confirmed to me that the fight that occured was out of personal reasons not more. The criminal had already a long record of murders at his name, he had just gone out of jail in 2005 after a sentence of 12 years for murdering someone from the Safar family in the same region.

For more details, Zouki was passing by with his brother when he exchanged some words with some Kataeb members which pissed him off apparently. So he went to his place, got his Rafal machine gun and went back and shot at the people celebrating the opening of the new Kataeb house.

The man MUST be delivered to the police and sentenced to death.

May all the victims rest in peace.

Latest Kataeb PR:
Two Kataeb supporters were killed and 10 injured after an Elie Skaff supporter delibraly opened fire on the house.

Salim Assi and Nasry Marouni are the victims ( noting that Nasry is the brother of Elie Maroni, head of the Kataeb sector in Zahle).

The Skaff supporters are from the Zouki family and according to some sources, they are the sons of Ibrahim Zouki, Joseph and Neemeh.

May the victims rest in peace.

Sheikh Amine Gemayel called for an urgent Kataeb meeting tonight.

Dr.Geagea will be visiting for the first time ( if am not mistaken) Mayfou2 and holding meetings with LFers from Batroun, as well as Fadi Saad, Bahij Abboud & Paul Andari ( author of Al Jabal 7akeeka la tar7am & hazihi Chahadati books).

The event will take place on Sunday the 20th of April in Mayfou2, however there is no mention to Hakim meeting with the Ilige league, the one that worked hard fo years to keep the LF mass alive and worked days and nights to restore the Church and the Martyrs’ graves.

I truly hope a reconciliation will finally occur, but i highly doubt it.

لقاء “ذكريات مع الدكتور سمير جعجع” نهار الاحد 20-4-2008 في سيّدة ايليج – ميفوق

تقيم القوات اللبنانية – البترون لقاء ” ذكريات مع الدكتور سمير جعجع ” وذلك نهار الاحد 20-4-2008 في سيّدة ايليج – ميفوق .

يشارك في اللقاء ويتحدث فيه مسؤول منطقة البترون في حزب القوات اللبنانية الدكتور فادي سعد والاستاذين بهيج عبود وبول عنداري . ويقدمهم الشاعر الاستاذ باخوس عساف . ويبدأ اللقاء بقداس الهي تمام الساعة التاسعة صباحاً في كنيسة سيّدة ايليج .

Earlier last week, reports were made by few people (Jacqueline Elias al-Rai, Milad al-Rai and Joseph Abi Sharr) and a journalist Manal Shaayaa about a mass grave in Halat, and as soon as the authorities were alerted, digging started looking for that mass grave and yesterday it was announced no mass grave was found.

Noting that Halat was mainly an LF controlled region, and that Aounist mps (Shamel Mouzaya and Abbas Hashem) who apparently were backing up that search, were dissapointed of the result and even doubted the seriouness of the digging operation.

Even though i dont find it hard to believe that Aounists must be spreading rumors, what caught my attention was Ghazi Aad’s reaction who reassured that the grave existed and that the search was unprofessionally directed ..

Is there or is there not a grave ??
I am not sure we will ever find it, however i do support that all mass graves are revealed once and for all, so those innocent people rest in peace once and for all .

As for Aoun’s reaction, i wish he spent more time revealing the mass graves of his soldiers that the Syrians left as he was fleeing to the French embassy like a coward.

Tent City Militiamen Attack Restaurant Clients

MP Atef Majdalani on Monday accused militiamen deployed at the Hizbullah-controlled Tent City in downtown Beirut of attacking with daggers clients at a nearby restaurant wounding some of them.
Majdalani, in a statement, said the restaurant clients were attacked Saturday evening by “militiamen based in the tents.”

The victims, according to Majdalani, sought police help but were told the area is off limits to law enforcing agencies.

The Hizbullah-led opposition set up Tent City in downtown Beirut 16 months ago with the declared objective of toppling Premier Fouad Saniora’s government that remains in office.

It was reported today in several papers ( Reuters, Sofia News Agency, etc .. ) that profits from drug trafficking through Bulgaria is being used to fund terrorist organizations like Hezbollah & the Islamic Jihad.

So we have a terrorist party who is accused of drug traffic, crimes against humanity (July war), assassinations, plots against the government and getting armed illegaly, and yet we are still thinking of holding dialogues with them to elect a president !

Not to forget they are still invading the downtown and ruining hundreds of businesses.

Bulgarian crime groups trading in synthetic drugs and Arabs linked to militant groups had been cooperating in the trafficking, said the draft report obtained by Reuters and due to be debated in parliament this week.

MP Michel Murr officially announced on Monday that he broke away from the Change and Reform Parliamentary bloc to “maintain my independence.”
“I am neither with the opposition, nor with the majority,” Murr told reporters.

“I’ve been independent ever since I started my political career … I support any side that can promote a settlement,” Murr added.

He declared support for the separate Arab tours launched by Premier Fouad Saniora and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.

However, Murr said he has “high hopes” on the outcome of Berri’s Arab tour.

“Every body awaits the outcome of Speaker Berri’s Arab tour, especially his visits to Damascus and Riyadh. These are the two major capitals and Speaker Berri can play a major role during this tour,” Murr added.

“If (Berri’s) Arab tour was positive, and if Syria and Saudi Arabia dismantled major obstacles … that would reflect positively on dialogue,” Murr said.

Beirut, 07 Apr 08, 17:20

Balamand students and officials were surprised to find flyers all over the campus signed by Fath el Islam. The flyer was a threat against the University and its students, however as reported in Al-Akhbar and other papers, it seems it was a prank considering the unprofessional writing and the lack of Islamic verses.

I believe it was a really bad joke done by some students and i hope the University will catch them and kick them out.
