Lebanon

Habibi Tgia,
What are your views on Lebanon events today?
Your Lebanese and that's why I am asking! Today is an important day in Lebanon if you ask me. So many things, so many things.
Today it was recommended that the four Lebanese generals would get released from custody immediately. Of course that terrible piece of kharra Saad Hariri immediately gave one statement full of so many lies. Did you know Hariri said it is the fault of the "opposition" that those 4 where sitting in a jail for so long?
Does it insult you when they lie in this way? It insults me and I am not even Lebanese!
Today I was looking at some footage of New TV of some in Masr there were interesting news of the police slapping a Palestinian man in the face for a long time and laughing at him.
Seems to methat New TV released all that info as a message to Welsh of "look at how they do interrogations before opening your mouth to talk about wonderful Egypt" but I don't think that will make any sense to Welsh since I don't expect those people to have humanity when it comes to the "wrong" Arabs.
So many spies also have been caught in the last few weeks thanks to Hezbollah, including two shameful spies that did get caught in Saida who are Palestinian collaborators working for the Israelis.
It looks like Hezbollah will win the elections soon and it should be a lesson to the rest of the Arabs in the world and the rest of the non Arabs that when you oppress a people over and continue to treat them like animals the way some of the non Shiite political parties did to the people in the Jnoub for to long then the people will fight back And get the support of the population.
I don't think that it is a good thing necessarily for the opposition to win the elections, but not because I am afraid of Nasrallah or the influence of Shiite religious observation. Because to be honest with you since I was a child the only religious "stories" that ever sounded very interesting to me where from the Shiite people, esp. Hussein, Ali and those characters. I don't think that Nasrallah gains to much to control the government, I like him as a the Opposition and he will be less effective when they try to dilute him in a different position.
And I think that no matter what we hear about these elections that the March 14th movement is looking to make a big dilution of the Sayyed with these elections.
One good thing about the news for the Generals today is that Future TV kept its mouth shut all day long, they only spoke when mini Hariri gave his ignorant speech that he sounds much worst than the Saudi royals when they are trying to read in front of a camera. Those Hariri March 14th people got dealt a big defeat today and they know that the support for the Sayyed is so huge and can be mobilized at any time in minutes and this is not the Hezbollah members this is the people of the Jnoub that can do the mobilization.
So if it is one good thing among the majority terrible things that the usurping entity gave to Lebanon was the fact that it made some of the people set out and decide whether they will be led by there d**** by puppets or whether they will support the resistance against Israeli criminal attacks and against the people internally that are plotting against the own interests of there people.
Being home with the non swine flu has given me the chance to catch up on all the news channels that I cant spend to much time watching when I am working trying to be with my family and finding some bad news to put on this blog.
There are very few times that I can look at something in the Middle East and feel any kind of pride but today I do have pride that the Sayyed is handing the death certificate to this silly March 14th movement. They are finished, destroyed.
There were even some Sunni sheiks who got on the television today and praised the Sayyed and said that they stand with the opposition it seems from interviews of Palestinians that they are not ashamed to give there support to the Sayyed to.
Again this is nothing to do with religion or religious choices and I don't think anyone should fear the opposition victory, I don't see any type of extremism coming from the Jnoub initiated by Hezbollah to warrant fear of them.
1-April 29; A Decisive Day in the Four Officers’ Life
2-Lebanon tribunal prosecutor requests generals' release
3-A Tale of Four Generals and a ‘Revolution’
4-Bless the courageous and decent people from the Jnoub!
5-Hundreds protest as US ambassador visits south

6-US ambassador in Lebanon was inaugurating some theater in some schools in `Aba in South Lebanon earlier today. As soon as she arrived, reporters gathered and showered her with questions about American support for Israeli war crimes in Lebanon. Suddenly, a crowd gathered outside with makeshift signs against American embrace of Israeli war crimes andthe use of American weapons in South Lebanon. She hurried and left. This is based on a report with footage on NBN TV.

7-New TV added more details about the failed visit by the US ambassador in Lebanon to South Lebanon. It showed a group of angry female demonstrators making threats against the ambassador, and there were shoes hailed in the air. When the ambassador made it to the school, she was asked by angry residents about the value of US aid when Israel destroys South Lebanon.

8-Lebanon is preparing for elections that could dramatically alter the leadership of the moderate country. One of the expected big winners is Hezbollah, which commands a huge and growing influence in Lebanon. Some call it a state within a state; a movement that is all too willing to fill any gaps it perceives left open by the government. Hezbollah, with its close ties to Iran, has become very influential -- and though the U.S. government considers them terrorists, they are heroes to their many followers.

9-Calls for engagement with Hezbollah in Lebanon are increasing in Washington, Britain is opening dialogue with non-state players and the Syrians are back in the international arena. Steadily, the Middle East leftovers of the George W Bush era are being eroded, and people like Lebanese warlord Walid Jumblatt are preparing for the new alignments.

10-Fadlallah says opposition will be unified in pollsBut remember mini Hariri said that the opposition was to blame for keeping them in prison for so long!
They are finished!
Good riddance!

...M14 lobbied to delay decision until after the elections, but Tribunal figures refused "political considerations"...

... Lebanese officials had lobbied to have the decision delayed until after the elections, but tribunal judicial figures refused, saying they could not take political considerations into account, said a senior court official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the court’s inner workings. ... The tribunal has always been controversial in Lebanon. Many supporters have seen it as a way to punish Syria and its proxies here, which they tend to blame for all the assassinations since 2005. By contrast, those in the political opposition — including Hezbollah — see it more as a political weapon aimed at their Syrian ally. They also ask why such a tribunal is warranted for a billionaire politician and not for the victims of the many massacres and assassinations that have taken place here in recent decades..."
