“Many analysts branded the clash as a proxy war between Iran and Syria over the control of Lebanon.”

Lemme guess, these analysts aren’t from Lb neither the arabic peninsula ?

remove all the Gungs from the street of lebanon we have had anough all the militia and all pollies in lebanon. they do not serve the peaple anymore
we need to build this country for our kids. we need to show them how to live in peace and have hope of a future.
the lebos need Power, Water, Roads, respect, and peace with every one.
so we can trade and create wealthe on our life time
GUNGS DISTROY WE DONT NEED THEM.

i really dont think its any proxy war but you know how the libonais bee3zmoo’a lal shaghliee, they are all politicians lol

i believe it was a fight over a parking spot and syria is in no position to turn its back on iran.

alooo Remen, not sure what GUNGS are but I agree with you lol

gemeyel should tone down his rhetoric before the mizzbel’ah bullseye gets placed on him lol

SAY NO TO DRUGS & GUNGS

Maria aesdik SAY NO TO DRUNGS AND GUNGS? lol

maria you crack me up. gungs?

walid i actually laughed on both your posts.

I agree 100000% with MP Mr. Gemayel. There is absolutley no reason what so ever for any individual regardless of their religious denomination to carry weapons in any part of Lebanon. The weapon issue has got to be resolved in order to live in peace and harmony, and for the prosperity of our beautiful Lebanon.

DOWN WITH WEAPONS. I MISS THE CAESAR ERA OF ORGIES, NO TVS, ORGIES, MUSIC, DANCING, ORGIES.

I GUESS TO TRANSLATE THIS INTO OUR MODERN LINGO.

CANT WE JUST LIVE ON SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK ‘N ROLL? LOL

Gemayle needs to be reminded that the resistance is approved by the government. This double standard talk is getting to boring. This kind of talk is meant for his constituency’s satisfaction. His party is part of a government that approved the existence of resistance, yet He wants to disarm them because He thinks they are a militia. Either you choose to get out of the government and exercise your rights as opposition, or respect the government that your party is represented in.

Ans the STL was approved by the goverment.

the army will protect all lebaneese regardless of religion or county including all lebannese territory wether in the south or the west or the north or the east
so if any other lebaneese groups of people wants to bear arms to defend lebanon i am sure that the army will welcome them that is the only legal way they can do it when they join the lebaneese army
and that is how all the other civilized nations operate

True, but the goverment that approved the STL was not constitutional. Having said that, I’m not against the STL.

just so you know, the approval is because ur leader refused to let the government be formed. and not because its wanted! they allowed it to stop the bloodshed that u would have caused if things didnt go ur way. and yes i do believe u r murderers

You are such a fearful little MAN.
You can’t debate, but you resort to personal labeling and accusation. That just shows your ignorance level.
Fear always springs from ignorance, little MAN.
Well, fine little Man, if it makes you happy to see me as a murderer, then I am, and eat your heart out.

Joseph, well said my friend.

ya Profit……HA is not and was never elected to be in the government, it was the gun to the head tactic and so you are correct about the government being unconstitutional.

Hahahaha u see how u took it personally? i said murdererS the s refers to HA! bas.. kill wa7ad fi ta7et bato msalle bten3aro

yeslam hal tim maria… but nevertheless, they will not be treated the way they treated us, we are humans they are pigs

ya prophet i dont know where you get your information from champ, but HA is approved as a political party in parlaiment not a militia…

khayeh joseph well said!

The LAF is the only body in lebanon that is authorised to carry weapons if HA cant accept or respect the lebanese government they should move to syria and iran that way they can fight for the PLO fro there we are sick and tired of war

Little Man, the only pig I smell in here is you, you ignorant pig!
You claim you are human, but the way you act proves the opposite.

the army cannot protect itself at this point mind you protecting this country…we have a lot of brave men in the army but heart alone cannot win wars…you need ARMS.

HezbullAh probably has more advanced arms and trainig than our own army….so how do you think the army itself will assimliate HezbuAllah within it?

This merger between HA and LAF needs at east3-4 years to take place from the minute HA and LAF agrees with each other to do so

JAD if the army can;t protect themself why do we have them for then lets send them home and keep HA becouse they can protect themself and all the lebanese borders with ther advence weapon they are only cradds rockets man not a big deal and we saw the damage they done in israel in 2006 lets hope they get something better or this time its gonna be well srewed

the army has no intention to compete with ha like i said the army willing to protect all lebaneese including ha so they should be no reason why ha could,nt join there brothers in the lebaneese army they both have the same believes protect lebanon and the the lebaneese people so why should they be separated?

The army should be the only organization carrying arms in the country…that is normal.

What if the army really did, then what, is the army gonna be able to protect Lebanon from Israel alone without the resistance, the answer is NO.

We need the Army and Resistance at this point to sit their asses and agree on a joint defense/attack strategy against Israel, cause that is the only way we will stand a chance against any possible attack.

This should be the case from now on, at least until the army has better arms (real arms not chocolate arms)

that is wishful thinking, we are not talking about raising funds to support prisoners of war, or families from hunger.

We as a country cannot afford to keep arms with civilians…end of discussion.

The focus from now on should be on equipping the army with the needed gear and training and then discuss disarming any other militia.

Now if you attempt to disarm HezbUallah they will tell you to Fxxx Off first because you cannot disarm them, second because what is the replacement to HezbUallah in terms of Defensive power?

Get our Army what it needs FIRST

Ha JAD i hope you dont have a problem parking your car near someone with a gun. and if you do park your car dont have your kids with u.
i hope the gun you are protecting is locked up in the army barracks and will be given to u when u are called apon to protect lebanon

No matter what EVEN when the LAF have enough weapons to invade Iran they will NEVER take part of dismantling HA militarily. The LAF are 60% Shia. Nobody in their right mind will use them to take side. It will splinter in a jiffy.
However, if the Lebanese Army is Strong enough to defend Lebanon, HA looses all the arguments to be the “protectors of Lebanon” and they will have to dismantle.
If at this point they do not then Civil War will ensue.

ha should merge with lebaneese army and so the army can be much stronger to defend all of lebanon including ha but the palestinin issue its too big of a problem for a tiny country like lebanon to get involved in it it it is the united nation job and internationl community and as far as arabic brotherhood you look at a country like egypt 80 millions people and iraq 25 millions and jordan etc…
no one willing to lift a finger to do anything to solve this proble why is it such a tiny country like lebanon devasted by 30 years of war and helpless should pay the price of more destruction to solve this problem that is not what the majority of the lebaneese want if one group of lebaneese want to take the country to war to serve the interrest of other nations i think the lebaneese people have the right to agrree on it and aprove of it before they do it

The Gemayels are the last people who can talk about legitimacy and the constitution. They were the first to build a militia, the first to seek support from Israel, and the first to have two presidents from their own family to ride an Israeli tank to the presidential palace. THAT IS WHAT YOU CALLA GUN (AND TANKAND F16 AND OCCUPATIOAN) TO THE HEAD TACTIC.
We’ve had enough of this hypocrisy. I won’t accept these people to lecture us on Patriotism, and legitimacy. YALEE ISTAHOU MATOO.

Christian,
You need to read the Hariri speech, which he delivered to the parliament. It based on that speech that his government got the vote of confidence.

CHRISTIAN,YOU MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN: ARMY,PEOPLE ,AND RESISTANCE.DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? WASN’T THAT PART OF THE EQUATION?GET REAL NOW, PLEASE. IF YOU WANT TO SCORE POINTS, YOU NEED TO DO BETTER.

well thats exactly what HA was using in 2006 against israel chocolate arms lets hope this time he comes up with something better then few holes in the wall and the army dosen;t need his type of resistance they resist next to hospitals and school and in the street of BORJI AL BARAJNE there is no israels there man wake up

prophet you smoke too many things i dont see how that is put in lebanese society, however the only drift i get is resistance only represents a certain sect…

p.s im here to speak my mind and stand up for i believe… getting thumbs dont do for me looser!

those who hate on the Gemayels hate them because of their past- but their current stance in Lebanese politics is the only stance that speaks of true peace.

Christian,
No one said you can’t state your opinion. whether you get thumbed down or up, that is up to the readers, and their opinion of what you say.
The word resistance is offending you for some reasons I prefer no to speculate on. It is not true that only one sect (Shiia) support the resistance. More than half the country supports the resistance.
If you don’t want resistance, let’s trade places, where we move everyone living in the south to central Lebanon, and move the people from the north to the south, and we’ll see how you can put up with the threat of Israel. Maybe you would start smoke something then.
