I was sent yesterday a link to an article written by Alexander Nehme on the tayyar site and I was asked to give my comments.

Honestly, I havent managed to assimilate the logic behind the FPM political thought and their reaction to the current crisis. Michel Aoun supports the government decision in all his speeches as far as I know, the same government he was blasting few weeks ago and asked it to resign.

Aside from this contradiction, Aoun’s alliance with Hizbullah is one of the major reasons that strenghened Hizbullah on the political level after it became isolated at a certain point and was willing to dialogue.

Back then, Aoun’s argument was that he was avoiding a civil war, but what people didnt see coming and apparently neither did the political minds in the FPM is that they are preparing Lebanon for one of its deadliest wars against Israel.

Aoun has pulled out Hezbollah from their political isolation and made them reconsider disarming. What amazes me more is how Aounists justify themselves, and how this author A. Nehme explains the Hezbollah war.

“مفاجأة إسرائيل من جهة وأميركا من جهة أخرى، وإجبارهما على الدخول في الحرب قبل الموعد المحدد، لإرباكهما عسكرياً ودبلوماسياً”

The ultimate argument is that the war was always planned by the US and Israel. What a weak and lame argument!! But let us suppose they were planning a war, their war is against terror as they proclaim it and we all know Hezbollah is a terrorist party for them in Lebanon, not Sanioura or the LF or Aoun or anyone.

So from one side we have the US and Israel planning a war against Hezbollah, and from the other side Major Lebanese parties in Lebanon asking Hezbollah to disarm.

Two possible things to do:
1- Support the government, pressure Hezbollah to disarm in order to avoid Lebanon a destructive war since Israel has no interest in attacking Lebanon for the sake of it and specially no the US that has been supporting the Sanioura government since the Hariri assasination.

2- Support Hezbollah, form a major bloc of Pro-Syrian to strenghen Syria’s presence in Lebanon, put the 14th of march coalition in a rough decision vis a vis the world community and the Americans and give Israel all the alibis for going on with its war.

Without any hesitation Aoun picks the second choice since its the only hope he has to get to the presidency.

How does the author Nehme justify the choice ?
“إسرائيل ومعها فريق 14 شباط، الذي سيوقّع على توطين الفلسطينيين في لبنان، وبالتالي الانتهاء من الصراع الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي وإراحة الأردن، لتُعلن مع بداية العام 2007، دولة فلسطين، وتبدأ الأكثرية الوهمية بإعادة إعمار لبنان من الهبات الخارجية، ونكون بالتالي خسرنا كرامتنا، وخسرنا أراضينا المحتلة، وودعنا كوكبة من الشهداء والمعتقلين، لتصبح دمائهم كدماء أي مجرم حكم عليه بالإعدام.”

Same old lame argument, Aktariyya wahmiyye wou 2ittihemet bil 3amele ma3 Israel.
