Makari: Hezbollah is trying to invent excuses to keep its weapons

Share:

Deputy Speaker and March 14 MP Farid Makari said in an interview with Kuwaiti newspaper As-Seyassah that “Hezbollah is trying to invent excuses to keep its weapons.”

“Sometimes Hezbollah tries to assume responsibility for protecting Lebanon’s oil wealth other times it tries to pretend that its weapons are aimed at protecting coexistence,” Makari said, adding, “Maybe Hezbollah thinks that the May 7 clashes served coexistence.”

He is referring to May 7, 2008 when Hezbollah pointed its guns against the Lebanese citizens by occupying the mostly Sunni part of Beirut and by trying to occupy the Druze stronghold of Mt Lebanon

He also rejected in the interview that “the four people indicted by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) for killing former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri have nothing to do with Hezbollah.”

Makari also said that “March 14 should not have attended the parliamentary vote of confidence session for the cabinet.

Mikati’s cabinet, which is dominated by the Hezbollah-led March 8 coalition, was formed in June and granted parliament’s vote of confidence on July 7.

Four Hezbollah members have been indicted by the UN-backed STL for the murder of Rafik Hariri. However, the Shiite group strongly denies the charges and refuses to cooperate with the court.

    If you cannot convince the minds of the aggressive elements of societies, all the talking to the world will not change the problem.
    Assad and Qadaffi did not hear it, or believe. Their aggression by guns and torture seals their fate. Will Hezzy’s listen? Finally?

        Simply include the Aounists as if they are(and they probably are) HAers.  Deal with the whole noisome crowd all at once.

    Okay. I’ve been reading comments on this site for a few months now. Not being Lebanese or having an ax to grind, I have still found it fascinating. I am also convinced that what happens in Lebanon and Syria now is critically important to how the world will look for the next 25+years.

    Now–please correct me if I am wrong–here’s my summary of things…

    1. Hez is led by a cave-dwelling troll who wants to make the entire middle east a province of Iran
    2. Assad is a vicious murderer and should be treated as such
    3. Half (or more) of Lebanese politicians are cynical self-serving toads, morons, selling their grandmothers on eBay, in need of sedation–or some combination of these. (anything else?)
    4. Berri, Aoun, Rai, and others are delusional
    5. Jumblatt needs a backbone transplant

    So, for the topic at hand…Hezbollah making up excuses to keep its guns so it can continue (complete?) its takeover of Lebanon as Iran’s proxy. Okay, I get that part of this campaign is to divert/derail STL. One claim they use justify their need to maintain “resistance” is that Shebaa(?) farms belong to Lebanon and are occupied by Israel,

    Didn’t the UN say that that land is actually part of Syria? I seem to remember that–though I could have it backward. Either way, it would seem that the best thing Israel could do would be simply to abandon the farms–then let somebody else claim them. It would eliminate one of Nasrallah’s excuses–but maybe that’s futile as he would think of five more (might be amusing to see what those would be).

      Wow Mark … pretty much ‘on the mark’ … hehehe 😉  Blogs CAN be sorted out sometimes. Welcome to the entertainment zone.
      A couple of us think the Sheeba and Golan could be given to the peace-wanting/needing refugees coming out of Syria … and eventually called Palestine … which might provide the area with some stability. The odds on anyone listening to that, of course, are ziltch, since a few want the UN to apply that name elsewhere – mainly anywhere now called Israel.
      But as you note, the next 25 years could be as the ancient Chinese curse goes: ‘May you live in interesting times’. 🙂
