Looks who s talking about terrorists !! the country funding one of the biggest terrorist organizations in the world, Hezbollah is condeming what they call terrorist organization for the kidnapping of four Iranian diplomats ..

I keep asking myself what were those iranians doing in Lebanon in the first place and in the region where they were caught more specifically !!!

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said here Friday that the kidnapping of four Iranian diplomats in Lebanon is a dark stain in record of the terrorist groups being affiliated to the Zionist regime of Israel. [...]

It would be good marketing idea for the LF to sell valuable items related to their glorious past.
I would definitly buy such figurines ..

Mabrouk lal shabeb !

While the Doha agreement urged Lebanese political factions to form their national unity government, Both M14 & M8 parties were aware that forming this government is almost impossible and is the first step to start preparing for Elections 2009.

Hezbollah doesnt even care about this new government. Nabih Berri is wasting time and flying soon to Spain then Canada, Saad Hariri is barely giving out statements, Jumblatt from time to time. They all know that this government’s lifetime is 10 months and it is more crucial to start working on the decisive Elections in 2009.

While Shiites, Sunnites & Druzes are not worried about elections, Divided Christians will be the ones giving the advantage to one team over the other, and as expected, they are fighting to be equally represented.

The LF wants as many seats as Aoun.
Aoun wants to score more points after he lost his last chance of becoming president and is asking for more seats everytime. He simply wants to show off as a strong Christian leader to prepare for the next elections.

I was told Otv is re-broadcasting the Ehden episode, which is another clear propaganda against M14 parties ( mainly LF & Kataeb). FPM are preparing their offices from now and i suggest the LF does the same because the next elections will be very crucial ones.

As for forming a government, we lasted numerous months without a president, and two years without a downtown and a “not-recognized” government, so why not 11 months without a government ?

And the victim of course is the Lebanese people, but is also to be blamed for following like sheep those so-called politicians.

Israel has agreed to give us back terrorists and our convicted murderer Samir Kontar in exchange of the two soldiers kidnapped by Hezbollah during the July war in 2006.

The Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, announced for the first time today that the soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, were dead.

“We know what happened to them,” Olmert told the cabinet, according to comments released by his office. “As far as we know, the soldiers Regev and Goldwasser are not alive.”

Who is that Samir el Kontar Hezbollah is so proud of ? Here is a small resume on his life and crimes committed against innocent civilians !

Samir Kontar is one of three Lebanese prisoners still serving time in Israeli jails. Kontar, a Lebanese Druze born on July 20, 1962 in the Lebanese mountain village of Aabey currently holds the dubious distinction of being the longest held Lebanese prisoner in Israeli jails! He was a member of Abu Abbas’ notorious PLF (Palestine Liberation Front) which committed despicable acts of terror against Israeli, Jewish, and American targets worldwide throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s. Kontar was convicted and sentenced to a 534 years prison sentence by the state of Israel. Israel even almost tried to pass a bill to have him executed! What did he do? What was his crime?

Update: Spain won 1-0 over Germany and are European Champions.
Germany played like crap and was outplayed in all aspects .. they deserved to win while Germans deserve to be punished for the lousy football they’ve shown us tonight.

This happens every 4 years, so its worthy posting about it even if its not political or related to the blog main theme.

Who are you cheering tonight and who do you think is gonna win ?

I’ve been myself a German fans since the 90s, i want Germany to win, and they have to play very well to do so, even better than what they showed against Portugal ( defensively speaking).

Michael Ballack might not play tonight cause of an injury he endured in the last game, Villa is most certainly not playing. Its gonna be a nice game, thumbs up for Germany !

Ba3ed na2issoun fans from Iran ..

After posting about the incidents that preceeded the Ehden massacre, let us tackle now the reactions after the assassination of Tony Frangieh and the MASSACRES committed in several villages, the most hideous one being the Qaa3 massacre.

On the 28th of June 1978, and following the assassination of Tony Frangieh ( not by Samir Geagea for ignorants outthere), Marada armed men escorted by Syrian troops stormed the Qa3, Rass Baalbeck & Jdidit el Fakiha villages and arrested almost 30 Kataeb members and took them to a near valley where they were shot and murdered in the most barbaric ways ..

No one was caught nor judged for that massacre till today, on the contrary, we have people like Sleiman Frangieh still labeling others criminals while his hands are still not clean from the last murder his men did in Dahr el 3en.

May our Martyrs Rest in Peace.

Once again, i raise the Mountain displaced issue and once again i am confident nothing will change but i cannot allow myself to stay quiet on that issue, and i cannot believe the LF who fought so hard to keep the Mountain and defend it are truly indifferent on that issue …

You tell me i always critisize, please someone explain to me why Sanioura our prime minister and our strategic ally is so deeply concerned about raising money for Palestinians rather than raising money for LEBANESE to get them back to their villages ..

And how this Sanioura, according to Hakim yesterday, represents Christians more than Aoun does ..

More than 100 millions US dollars raised to reconstruct the camp, the Nahr el Bared camp that was the hometown of Fat7 el Islam terrorists who were killing our army men and our people only few months ago ..

Not one single visit from the LF leader to the Christian villages, not one donation to any village, not one demand from the government and our allies (Jumblatt on top of them) to resolve this issue once and for all ..

Can someone explain to me why is the LF behaving that way??

I read about the issue yesterday when Amine Gemayel mentioned it, but i wanted to wait for Hakim’s speech today to have more insight on what happened in Sannine.

Before tackling the issue, i was irritated by Amine and his never-changing attitude of speaking unclearly and in general as if he was some big shot hiding secrets, secrets that were publically stated by Geagea the next day !

What happened ?
A few guys were on their ATVs near Iyoun el Siwan when Hezbollah militiamen arrested them and interrogated them then let them go and asked them not to come back again.

A similar incident also occured in Jroud Baskinta on Sunday.
Here is an extract from the conference press:
جعجع، وفي مؤتمر صحافي، تطرق إلى الحادث الذي وقع في منطقة صنين حيث قام عدد من المسلحين بخطف عدد من الشبان الذين كانوا يقومون بنزهة، فقال: “وفي تمام الساعة الحادية عشرة والنصف من قبل الظهر بينما كانت مجموعة مؤلفة من 16 شخصا تقوم بنزهة عادية على الـATV، بين جرود عيون السيمان وجرود زحلة، أوقفت مجموعة مسلحة من “حزب الله” المتنزهين واستجوبتهم وأخذت أوراقهم الثبوتية ومن ثم طلبوا اليهم عدم التوجه مستقبلا إلى المنطقة”.

Rumors were spread months ago about a plan Hezbollah had set to link all his regions together and control the mountains and prepare to take over the whole country in case he needed to and such incidents are proving this rumor right.

I am not sure where is the Lebanese army from all that, i am not sure what is the minister of defence doing instead of investigating all those issues.

I say it and unfortunatelly once again, that such issues cannot be handled peacefully, that you cannot fight a militia without having armed men, specially when the army is standing still ..

It is quite sad where we’ve reached, or where Hezbollah is leading us, but it is becoming a battle for our existence, a fierce battle with an armed militia who refuses to dialogue unless when all its conditions are met.

M14 should either invest massively in the army & ISF and ask its people to join in numbers, or and i repeat unfortunatelly, have to take things in their own hands, and that will only lead us to more internal wars but at least will stop Hezbollah from imposing his rule and his vision of Lebanon as an Islamic Republic.

I have mixed feelings about this show, and have heard a lot of positive or very negative feedbacks on it. It is a very contraversial show, and highly subjective since May is publically a pro-M14.

I respect the woman, and no one can doubt her patriotism, her commitment and her courage specially after what she went through, however having a succesfull political show requires professionalim and a bit of objectivity, things that are lacking in the show.

Look at Marcel Ghanem, the man is highly professional and knows how to corner any politicians that he interviews. May does a similar work but turns into a side in the debate instead of moderating like she should.

Her morning show was much better, her near-death experience surely changed her, but i think she should keep this high level of respect and admiration she has by keeping her work as professional as possible.

I saw Euronews interviewing her today, the woman is brave and still doesnt fear death. It is unfortunate to hear people talk badly about her, even though most of those people are ungrateful and know nothing about the sufferings she endured.

I’d like to hear your feedback on that show as well.

If only we had more people as dedicated and committed as this man.
This man doesnt need to do any miracle to be called a Saint.

This article is about the word of Soeur Marie during the beatification of Father Yakoub.

( From the Daily Star)
There were lots of reasons why Sunday’s beatification of Father Yaaqoub Haddad in Downtown Beirut was meaningful for so many Lebanese, and it was a nun who pointed out the most important ones. It took the memory of a saint to get so many politicians and clergymen of different orientations in the same place, but it was Sister Mary Makhlouf who captured the relevance of the moment for today’s Lebanon - and therefore for tomorrow’s. What she told those gathered to celebrate Father Yaaqoub’s like of service and sacrifice was what that far from being a weakness, the diversity of Lebanese society should be its most important strength.

Why do LFers in general support the German team ?

Most of the old LF Generations ( 80s,early 90s) are supportive of the German football team. On every European cup or World cup, you see an overwhelming number of German flags in the Christian regions in general ( of course in many other non-Christian regions as well but am talking about the LF here).

Many say that this support goes back to Pierre Gemayel’s days since the Kataeb was influenced by the Nazi party, but this is false and very wrong since the Kataeb is far from the Nazi party in all its political & social aspects ( except some organizational matters).

I believe the main reason, and on which many agree, is related to Bashir and the LF golden era back in the 80s and then later with Hakim in the 90s. Once the LF was founded, The first office founded outside Lebanon was in Germany, and there were many Christian Germany parties funding & helping Bashir & the LF which created a certain bond between the LF & German parties and reflected in sports.

Most importantly, Bashir was supportive of the German football team himself, which made many support it as well.
As for the Hakim era, from what i heard, Hakim was also supportive of the German team which made even more Lfers support Germany.

Here is a brief translation of what happened in Ehden ( as per Hakim’s testimony to a local paper back in the 90s).

You can find the full interviews on the LF official site, it was published years ago to shed the truth on many facts that people accuse Hakim of.

Hakim : Ehden incidents could have been avoided had Frangieh accepted others in his region.

Ehden operation cannot be portrayed as an independant mission at some point in time. It was the culmination of several incidents that occured earlier

الكتائب والشَّمال

قبل حرب السّنتَيْن (1975-1976) كان الوجود الكتائبِي في الشّمال عاديًّا بسبب وجود العائلات الكبيرة هناك. وعندما اندلعت الْحرب، ظهرت مَوجة شعبيّة مؤيّدة لِحزب الْكتائب، لأنّه كان أكثر الأحزاب استعدادًا وحضورًا في الأحداث التي فرضتها الْحرب. أذكر أنّه قبل الْحرب كان لِحزب الكتائب وجود في بعض القُرى. وجود مَقبول في بعضها، ووجود رمزي في البعض الآخر. لَم يكُن حزب الكتائب قوّة سياسيّة ضاغطة. خلال حرب السّنتَيْن الْتحق عدد كبير من الشُّبان بِحزب الكتائب بعدما لَمسوا مَحدوديّة السّياسات الاقطاعيّة والعشائريّة وضرورة تَخطّي هذه الاعتبارات الْمحليّة. تَزايد حجم حزب الكتائب، وارتفع تقريبًا إلى عشرة أضعاف ما كان عليه قبل اندلاع الْحرب. في السّابق، وفي الكورة مثلاً، كان الوجود الكتائبِي مُقتصرًا على بعض القُرى الْمارونيّة، وضعيفًا جدًّا في البلدات الأُرثوذكسيّة. بعد حرب السّنتَيْن تبدّلت الصُّورة.

التَّمدُّد الْحِزبِيّ

أعرف ذلك بالأرقام، لأنِّي كنتُ مسؤولاً عن القِوى النِّظاميّة هناك. صار هناك نَحو 30 أو 40 شابًّا في كلّ قرية. في “أميون” صار للكتائب وجود عبر مَجموعة كبيرة، وكذلك في “دده” و”رأس مسقا” وغيرها. في منطقة “بشرّي” حدث ما يُشبه الفَوران في الانتماء للكتائب. بعد حرب السّنتَيْن جرى حفل كبير لِتأدية اليمين في الْحزب، في بلدة “قنات”. وتكرّر الأمر نفسه في “البترون”. تَمدُّد حزب الكتائب وأقسامه لاقى قبولاً طبيعيًّا من زعماء العائلات، من جبرا طوق وقبلان عيسى الْخوري وجورج ضو وسايد عقل وسِمعان الدّويهي ورينيه معوّض. تعاملوا مع الْمسألة وكأنّها أمر طبيعي نظرًا للمسؤوليّات التي تَحمَّلها حزب الكتائب في تلك الْمرحلة. ولِهذا السّبب تَعاطَوا مع الواقع، وتفاعلوا معه، وكانت علاقاتنا معهم مُنسجمة، على رغم انتمائنا إلى حزب قائم على مبادئ مُغايرة للمبادئ والْمفاهيم العشائريّة.

Biography

OTV wants attention and the best way ( for any Aounist) is to simply fabricate stories on the LF & Samir Geagea and accuse it of crimes it did not commit or victimize and portray themselves as angels while tothers are ruthless criminals.

A whole episode on the Ehden Massacre in 1978 where they brought families of the victims (very objective & scientific approach) and Karim Pakradoni whom i call the “prostitute” because thats what he has been doing since ever in politics.

Added to that, An opportunity arose for Hezbollah to deepen the hole in the Christian ranks wou tkabbir el khasse bi rass Frangieh ..

“When we come to Ehden to stand by Minister Sleiman Frangieh and his family, we want to declare that real national representation is not complete without Ehden, the great Christian region with the shining national Lebanese history,” Raad stated

We cannot but congratulate Aoun on finding new means everyday to divide the Christians further and remind them of their ugly past, noting that Aoun was side by side with the Kataeb only two years before the Ehden massacre occured and was back then close to them still (and got promoted after that in the army by a recommendation from Bashir).

I have disregarded many comments so far that were disrespectful to me and to this blog as a whole.
It seems we have many political geniuses here that make conclusions on posts i write, without arguing nor backing up their statements.

Here are some samples of those “divine” contributors to this blog

“N,ra7 iddallak ma tifham,”

“N you are completely wrong. i’ve been reading ur posts for a while now and i think u contradict urself a lot “

I take my time before writing posts, i accept criticism and read most of the comments, and many of them are very helpful and fruitful, however what i cannot stand are people who dont show respect.
Most of them are pro-LFers ironically … who cannot stand any criticism of Hakim’s politics or the LF political failures in the past two years.

I have been fair and moderate in my approach so far, and i have repeadtly stated that my criticism is because i care for the LF, while i assume everyone knows my position from Aoun and the rest of the parties.

I will not go to your level, and i wont insult you back, but on the contrary i will develop further my critics and elaborate them and give simple examples maybe then you will see the blindness that you are subject to and start understanding the realities as i state them, those you call contradictions.

The whole aim of that blog is to let LFers freely talk with each others and express their opinion. If you feel you have better things to say, you are most welcome to participate and post on the blog.

Thats all for now.
