Interesting information. The kind of information western media never gives to us. Instead, we get macabre, global gossip, about sex predators, or stories about fluffy the singing dog. When we get a story of a political nature, all context is left out. We brag about free press, but we have some of the worst, most simplistic jounalism in the entire world. How can we be anything but ignorant. There is better, more comprehensive journalism to be had.
How can we talk in such arrogance and stupidity, are we not Canadiens? Are we not a people of justice and truth, what has happened to our identity, we talk like a bunch of proud loser Americans who have not done anything in the past 100 years except kill and murder!!! Is this how we want to be? Sorry not me.
Who is spreading Poison in the region, come on people, let us be honest at least, yes we are one of the most ignorant people on the planet, but let us at least try and better ourselves, let us at least look at all the facts, perhaps we love ourselves too much to care for anyone else, what a shame, we are like blood thirsty wolves. I am sad of the death of any inoccent child, woman or man, our world is under such oppression that has never been seen before in history.
HALBA MASACRE AN EXAMPLE OF SAVAGE CRIME
Meanwhile, Al-Manar and other TV stations broadcasted on Tuesday footage of a massacre in the making in the Halba village by Saad Hariri's Mustakbal militiamen against members of the Syrian Socialist Nationalist Party (SSNP). The horrific footage showed the barbaric and brutal nature of the perpetrators. The footage showed how some executed SSNP members were lying on the ground, while others were still dying. Hariri's Mustakbal militiamen were beating up those dying. In the footage, heavy stone blocs with sharp edges were seen saturated with blood. A young man, still in his 'teens, was dying and coughing blood out of his mouth. This cruel crime took the life of eleven young men.
Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Times quoted Lebanese security experts officials as saying that the main Lebanese political faction backed by the United States built a Sunni Muslim militia in Lebanon under the guise of private security companies." The fighters, aligned with Saad Hariri's Future movement, were trained and armed to counter the heavily armed Hezbollah group", the daily said. Secure Plus employees, in beige pants and maroon shirts, were drilled for months in basic military training, including hand-to-hand combat, for a monthly salary of at least $350, the Los Angeles Times reported.
A reminder of past incidents: All the Lebanese remember the famous Arab University incidents that took place one year and four months ago when Al-Mustaqbal militiamen opened fire, even sniper fire at university students. They also remember the shooting spree by Hariri's militiamen and their allies in the Progressive Socialist Party in the populated region of Aramoun a few months ago. Al-Manar broadcasted footage of this incident with the faces of the gunmen clearly showing. All this adds to the long list of last week's provocations, with Al-Mustaqbal militia attacking offices of national parties, cutting roads and burning homes owned by pro-opposition politicians and supporters, namely the family house of Lebanese National Opposition martyr Ahmed Mahmoud. Mahmoud was killed execution style by Mustkbal militiamen in Tariq el-Jdideh as he was returning home after taking part in the opposition's demonstration in downtown Beirut. It's been more than one and a half years on this crime.
Indeed, last week, when Future gunmen were terrorizing civilians, residents of the Nuweiri area decided to storm into their office. A military unit was dispatched to the site and evacuated 21 Mustakbal members from the office. While everything was being recorded on camera, the army confiscated automatic weapons and ammunition. They also found applications for new Future Movement members as well as alcohol. The Mustakbal militia surrendered many other offices to the Lebanese army in Beirut, Chouf, south Lebanon and elsewhere. Their arms have been handed over to the Lebanese army. This is in the present.
Five days of provocations by his militiamen in different Lebanese regions were not enough for the head of Future (Mustakbal) movement MP Saad Hariri to perceive the dangers of the current situation and the position he has taken himself to. The Halba massacre, committed by his bloc gunmen, also didn't seem to have any impact on Hariri. Hariri's Mustakbal militiamen had brutally and barbarically murdered 11 people from the opposition. In a press conference on Tuesday, Hariri simply ignored what all the Lebanese had seen on TV from weapons, ammunition and alcohol found in Future movement centers, and instead listed a series of delusions.
The outspoken British MP continues by saying that "Hezbollah doesn't want to take control of Lebanon, although they can, but they know the Lebanese structure and diversity".
"I find odd how some Arab leaders are concerned about Iranian control of the region, especially after the Iranians helped US-UK occupation forces and facilitated their entrance into Iraq," Galloway said.
"Arabs want to discuss Hezbollah's occupation of the Hamra street in Beirut, just because they are unable to discuss Israel's occupation of Palestine and the US occupation of Iraq.," he added.
Galloway, who's renowned for opposing the war on Iraq and defending the rights of the Palestinians, said in an interview with Al-Ghad daily that "Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah and Hezbollah are protecting Lebanon and its sovereignty" adding that "without them Lebanon would have been another country; an occupied one." "Some are propagating that Nasrallah is Iran's ally, I think they are misguiding the people on the truth that some Arab leaders are backing the US and imperialist powers", Galloway said.
