Why does Saad Hariri insist on being an Idiot?
The Lebanese-Saudi Hybrid Idiot Who runs Lebanon
Why does Saah Hariri insist on being a Sunni Muslim idiot, like his father was, by the way?
The facts:
- Syria and Hezbollah killed his father.
- The Special Tribunal is about to indict both Syria and Hezbollah in his father's assassination.
- He knows his own life could be blown up any minute by his enemies: Syria, Hezbollah and Iran.
- He knows that Israel is Lebanon's enemy only to the extent that the stupid Lebanese have given it the pretexts for just about 40 years now with their megalomaniacal delusions of liberating Palestine?
- He knows that Syria is more of an enemy than Israel because Syria does not even recognize Lebanon's right to exist as an independent nation.
- He knows that Syria and Hezbollah have killed many more Lebanese during their 40 years of occupation and hold on the country than Israel ever has in all its wars on Lebanon.
- He knows the whole world is with him against his enemies, and all he has to do is be a man and say the truth for once about who his enemies are and who his friends are.
- He knows that Syria never fired a bullet against Israel since 1973, even as Israel not only occupied the Golan Heights but it has actually annexed it.
- He knows that Syria never allows the Palestinian numskulls or the Hezbollah fuckers to "resist" and "liberate" from the Syrian border of Israel, but funds, arms, trains those same people to wreak havoc in Lebanon under the pretense of "resistance" and "liberation".
YET, the hypocrite Sunni Arab cunt that Saad Hariri is cannot escape the Arab herd and stand on his own feet, and declare that the only way out of this 40-year charade of "liberation and resistance", both engineered by Syria and Iran to keep Lebanon as the only Arab-Muslim war front against Israel, is to begin peace negotiations with Israel to settle all border issues between the two sovereign states, get Lebanon out of the logjam into which it has been shoved by Syria and Iran, and like other Sunni Arab masturbating countries like Egypt and Jordan, have a peace treaty with Israel, and let Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, and all the liberation fuckers out there fight their own wars with Israel and LEAVE FUCKING LEBANON ALONE.
- For some reason, Saad Hariri keeps kissing the ass of Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, even though he is the spoiled baby of the Americans and their Israeli and Saudi poodles.
- Saad Hariri keeps verbally attacking Israel as the "enemy", when Syria is by far a much much more dangerous enemy to Lebanon than Israel.
- Saad Hariri regularly visits Iran, and goes to Damascus twice a week to kiss the hand of Bashar Asad the criminal who killed Saad's father, and declare Syria as a "sister" country, trying to keep Lebanon "stable" by working with the Saudis. He welcomed the dangerous lunatic Iranian dictator Ahmadinejad to Beirut where he treated him like royalty.
- Saad Hariri is the top executive ruler in Lebanon, but he behaves like a toilet cleaner for other Arabs and Muslims.
- Saad Hariri speaks with both sides of his mouth and sits on the fence of every issue. He is a very dangerous idiot to lead Lebanon. His father was the same dangerous idiot who thought he could bring investments back to Lebanon by refurbishing a couple of buildings in downtown Beirut under the boots of 40,000 Syrian soldiers. It took him 15 years to realize his own stupidity, and when he did and tried to get out, his "allies" the Syrians killed him. Saad Hariri is following the exact same path, the path of ambiguity, of sitting on the fence, of being with one thing and its exact opposite at the same time, the path that we know has only led us to further destruction, instability, and ruin of the country of Lebanon.
Why, Mr. Hariri? If you don't have the balls, then get out of the way.
Why do the Muslims of Lebanon, both Shiite shitheads and Sunni cunts, have an inferiority complex to other Arab and Muslim fuckers?
Why do they insist on ruining their own country to liberate Palestine, when the 1.5 billion Muslims and Arabs on the surface of the earth have given up on that idea?
Why should tiny Lebanon be the only country in the entire Arab-Muslim world be made to pay the price - for 40 years now - of Palestine?
Why can't Saad Hariri be a real man and get Lebanon out of the Palestine-Liberation bullshit, once and for all?

Prime Minister Saad Hariri said on the eve of his Tehran trip Friday that Iran is involved in efforts to ensure stability in Lebanon.
- "Attempts to destabilize any country of the region is a threat to both the interests of Arabs and Iran at the same time," Hariri told Iran's news agency, IRNA.He said Iran was "involved in efforts to ensure stability in all countries of the region, including Lebanon, which looks positively toward Syrian and Saudi efforts to strengthen Lebanon stability." Hariri described as "historic" ties between Iran and Lebanon. On political ties, however, Hariri said Lebanon looks forward to a "relationship between two countries that respect each other's sovereignty and interests." In response to a question about his father's assassination, Hariri said he never accused Hizbullah of involvement.
Hariri says he never accused Hezbollah of killing his father
Prime Minister Saad Hariri said on Friday that he never accused Hezbollah of assassinating his father, former PM Rafik Hariri, in 2005. “We did not accuse Hezbollah in the first place for them [to voice doubt that they would be indicted by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL)], he said in interview with the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). “We also said that media leaks pertaining to the court’s indictment do not serve the course of justice,” the PM added.
On the eve of his visit to Tehran, Hariri highlighted on “historical Lebanese-Iranian ties,” adding that Beirut is looking for having state-to-state relations with Tehran. Tensions are rising in Lebanon amid reports that the STL is set to issue an indictment for the Rafik Hariri murder. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) said Sunday it had evidence from the UN inquiry strongly linking Hezbollah to the massive car bomb, which killed the former PM and 22 other victims.
In a speech on November 11, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that Hezbollah will "cut off the hand" of anyone who tries to arrest any of its members in the case.

Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri says "there is no strong leadership in Israel" and that Benjamin Netanyahu "doesn't believe in peace."[As if Hariri's own position in Lebanon is a beacon of leadership].
In an interview with the Washington Post, Hariri said that in order to achieve a peace deal in the Arab-Israeli conflict, there must be strong leadership, something that Israel lacks.
"There is no leadership in Israel," he said. "At one point you had [Prime Minister Yitzhak] Rabin who wanted peace. He's the one who believed in the peace in the region, but Netanyahu doesn't believe in peace."
Hariri accused Netanyahu of destroying the Oslo Accords and said that he is "somebody who is not willing to talk about real peace in the region."
Moreover, he stressed that Israel can only have security if comprehensive peace was achieved between the Palestinians and the Israelis, and between Israel and the Arab world – which includes Syria and Lebanon.
"[Netanyahu] takes the issue of security as the basis of his whole political platform but you will only have security if you have peace," he said.
On Monday, Hariri met with Turkish Prime Minister Tayyep Erdogan, who declared that Israel is endangering world peace by using exaggerated force against the Palestinians, breaching Lebanon's air space and waters and for not revealing the details of its nuclear program.

Lebanon Government Rejects Improving its Sordid Human Rights Record
Lebanon has rejected calls by the international community to improve its human rights record on:
- Women's equality with men in citizenship rights, inheritance and other personal status provisions. The children of a Lebanese woman who is married to a non-Lebanese citizen are denied Lebanese citizenship, while the children of Lebanese men married to non-Lebanese women are granted citizenship. This has torn families apart and alienated millions of Lebanese emigrants who have married foreigners. Women in Lebanon, as in every other Arab country, are second-class citizens, still treated like cattle and property, and denied the same equal rights as men under the law. While men cause all the violence and corruption that are rampant in places like Lebanon, women who suffer the consequences are also discriminated against in pay, in jobs, in inheritance rights etc. As far as the condition of women, Lebanon ranks at the top of similarly primitive countries with antiquated laws and anachronistic religious laws.
- Rights of foreign workers, whose treatment by the Lebanese people and the Lebanese government is nothing short of modern day slavery, particularly as it concerns women who are imported like cattle from poorer countries like Nepal, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka and others, and are underpaid and abused without any oversight or protection from the Lebanese government of Saad Hariri.
- The rights of homosexuals. Currently, Lebanese law criminalizes homosexuality, when real crimes are rampant like drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, corruption at the highest levels of government, and violent terrorist militias like Hezbollah are members of the government.

It's not the Mossad, it's Hezbollah's Criminal Network.
You want evidence that Hezbollah killed Hariri?
You want evidence uncovered by a Lebanese investigator, not some conspiracy bullshit by the Special Tribunal working for the Israelis against the so-called "Resistance"?
You want better evidence than Hassan Messeh-Shashema Nasrallah's fucked up surveillance footage he claims is "proof" of Israeli involvement?
You want the kind evidence that Zebbal Michel Aoun can shove up his asshole as he continues to tell us lies about "false witnesses" just to lick the ass of Hassan Nasrallah?
Just read the story below of how a super highly intelligent Lebanese Security Officer used simple Excel spreadsheets, simple maths and search parameters, on cell phone calls records, to discover that Hezbollah is the killer of Rafik Hairi.
Forget Mehlis, forget Brammertz, and forget Bellemare. Forget the Tribunal, forget The Hague, and forget Ban Ki-moon. Lebanon's own investigation conducted by the a smart hero, Captain Wissam Eid, has found the truth of who killed Hariri. No foreign conspiracy, no Israel, nothing at all - Captain Wissam Eid has proven that Hezbollah's lies, Hassan Toilet-Cleaner Nasrallah's lies, and Michel Zebbal Aoun's lies.... are LIES. The simple fact that is that Captain Wissam Eid, working alone, discovered the truth, and when Hezbollah found out that he had identified them as the Hariri killers, they went ahead and killed him too exactly as they killed Hariri and so many others, using the new traitor criminal they had recruited: Col. Wissam al-Hassan, the new head of Lebanese police intelligence. With the last name of Hassan, what do you expect but a Shiite dog who betrays and kills his own fellow Lebanese officer because Hezbollah hired him to do this.
Finally, the fact that Hezbollah hides its telephone communications network in a Hospital called the Great Fucking Prophet in the southern suburbs of Beirut, is yet a warning that when Israel bombs these criminals, no one should cry bloody hell. Hezbollah uses hospitals and schools to hide their criminal empire, and that in itself is enough evidence of the lies and the brainwashing of "resistance" and "liberation" and all the Islamic and Arab bullshit that continues to destroy Lebanon.
Enough crap about false witnesses, enough Israeli and American conspiracies.... the truth is out:
To read the full CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) report, go to:http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/11/19/f-rfa-macdonald-lebanon-hariri.html
Also: Do not forget that the Syrian dictatorship is of course behind Hezbollah's crimes. Remember that the two masterminds who were directly involved in the Hariri assassination are dead:
1-The filthy piece of shit IMAD MUGNIEYH who spent his life killing westerners and Lebanese alike to make sure that Lebanon falls deep into the Syrian and Iranian gulags; He was conveniently killed on February 12, 2008 by a car bomb in the heart of Damascus, two blocks away from Bashar al-Asad's own fucking palace. The Syrians killed him so he doesn't talk, like they killed Hobeika and Hariri himself, and so many others, once they were done using them or once they became a liability; and
2- The human garbage Syrian Interior Minister GHAZI KANAAN who "killed himself" (you know, Syrian-style, Soviet-style, that kind of suicide) on October 11, 2005, as the first evidence of the Syrian role was becoming known. Kanaan was the Syrian military intelligence chief for Lebanon and planned the Hariri assassination with Mughniyeh.

Wissam Eid's Big Discovery: Everything Connected to Landlines inside Hizbullah's Great Prophet Hospital, Report
An investigative report by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. (CBC) has revealed that Capt. Wissam Eid's discovery showed that "everything" in the assassination of ex-PM Rafik Hariri was connected to landlines inside Hizbullah's Great Prophet Hospital south of Beirut.
It gave a detailed report about Eid, saying that before his violent death in 2008, he was an unusual figure in the murky, often corrupt world of Arab policing. Eid had never actually wanted to be a policeman, or an intelligence officer, CBC wrote. In authoritarian Arab society, he had no interest in becoming an authority figure. And yet, he'd had no choice. When he was doing his military service in the 1990s, the Internal Security Forces (ISF) noticed Eid's degree in computer engineering.
The security service was then trying to build an information technology department. And that was that.
By the time Hariri was killed in 2005, Eid was a captain in the ISF. His boss, Lt. Col. Samer Shehadeh, brought him into the investigation. It was a Lebanese investigation, Eid was told, but it was also a U.N. one. Eid was to co-operate with the foreigners working out of the old abandoned hotel in the hills above Beirut, CBC went on to say.
It said Eid reasoned that finding the first traces of the killers was a process of elimination.
From Lebanon's phone companies, he obtained the call records of all the cellphones that had registered with the cell towers in the immediate vicinity of the Hotel St. George, where the massive blast had torn a deep crater. Once Eid had those records, he began thinning out the hundreds of phones in the area that morning, subtracting those held by each of the 22 dead, then those in Hariri's entourage, then those of people nearby who had been interviewed and had alibis.
Soon enough, he had found the phones the Hariri hit team had used, the CBC report added. The U.N. would eventually dub it the "red" network.
But he didn't stop there, it said. Exhaustively tracking which towers the red phones had "shaken hands with" in the days before the assassination, and comparing those records to Hariri's schedule, Eid discovered that this network had been shadowing the former Premier. The red-phone carriers were clearly a disciplined group. They communicated with one another and almost never with an outside phone. And directly after the assassination, the red network went dead forever. But Eid, according to the report, had found another connection. He eventually identified eight other phones that had for months simultaneously used the same cell towers as the red phones.
Signals intelligence professionals call these "co-location" phones.
What Capt. Eid had discovered was that everyone on the hit team had carried a second phone, and that the team members had used their second phones to communicate with a much larger support network that had been in existence for at least a year. Eventually, the U.N. would label that group the "blue" network. CBC said the blue network also exercised considerable discipline. It, too, remained a "closed" network. Not once did any blue-network member make the sort of slip that telecom sleuths look for. But these people also carried co-location phones and Eid kept following the ever-widening trail of crumbs, it said.
The big break came when the blue network was closed down and the phones were collected by a minor electronics specialist who worked for Hizbullah, Abd al Majid al Ghamloush, the report said.
It said Ghamloush was, in the words of one former UN investigator, "an idiot." Given the job of collecting and disposing of the blue phones, he noticed some still had time remaining on them and used one to call his girlfriend, Sawan, in the process basically identifying himself to Capt. Eid. He might as well have written his name on a whiteboard and held it up outside ISF headquarters.
Ghamloush's "stupidity" eventually led Eid to a pair of brothers named Hussein and Mouin Khreis, both Hizbullah operatives. One of them had actually been at the site of the blast. Capt. Eid kept going, identifying more and more phones directly or indirectly associated with the hit team. He found the core of a third network, a longer-term surveillance team that would eventually be dubbed the "yellows."
Eid's work would also lead to another discovery: Everything connected, however elliptically, to land lines inside Hizbullah's Great Prophet Hospital in South Beirut, a sector of the city entirely controlled by Hizbullah, CBC added. It has long been said that the fundamentalist fighters operate a command centre in the hospital.
Eventually, telecom sleuths would identify another network of four so-called "pink phones" that had been communicating both with the hospital and, indirectly, with the other networks. These phones turned out to be tremendously important. It turned out they had been issued by the Lebanese government itself and when the ministry of communications was queried about who they had been issued to, the answer came back in the form of a bland government record. CBC has obtained a copy of this record provided to the commission. On it, someone has highlighted four entries in a long column of six-digit numbers. Beside the highlighted numbers, in Arabic, was the word "Hizbullah."
Finally, Eid was handed a clue from the best source possible: He was contacted by Hizbullah itself and told that some of the phones he was chasing were being used by Hizbullah agents conducting a counter-espionage operation against Israel's Mossad spy agency and that he needed to back off. The warning could not have been more clear, CBC said. As though to underscore it, Eid's boss, Lt. Col. Shehadeh, was targeted by bombers in September 2006. The blast killed four of his bodyguards and nearly killed Shehadeh, who was sent to Quebec for medical treatment and resettlement.
By that time, Capt. Eid had sent his report to the U.N. inquiry and moved on to another operation.
The Eid report, according to CBC was entered into the U.N.'s database by someone who either didn't understand it or didn't care enough to bring it forward. It disappeared. A year and a half later, in December 2007, when the Eid report finally resurfaced, the immediate reaction of the U.N. telecom team was embarrassment. And then suspicion. Eid claimed to have performed his analysis using nothing but Excel spreadsheets and that, said the British specialist, was impossible. No one, he declared, could accomplish such a thing without powerful computer assistance and the requisite training. No amateur, which is how the specialists regarded Eid, could possibly have waded through the millions of possible permutations posed by the phone records and extracted individual networks.
The most recent outbreak of large-scale sectarian violence was in January and February 2008 when armed militias fought in the streets of Tripoli and other large centers, the report said. This Capt. Eid must have had help, it said, thought the telecom experts. Someone must have given him this information. Perhaps he was involved somehow? By now it was January 2008. A new U.N. commissioner was in charge, Daniel Bellemare. Investigators were finally beginning to believe they were getting somewhere. A deputation of telecom experts was dispatched to meet Eid. They questioned him and returned convinced that, somehow, he had indeed identified the networks himself.
Eid appeared to be one of those people who could intuit mathematical patterns, the sort who thinks several moves ahead in chess. Even better, he was willing to help directly. He wanted Hariri's killers to face justice, Hizbullah's warning be damned. It was an exciting prospect for the U.N. team. Here was an actual Lebanese investigator, with insights and contacts the UN foreigners could never match. A week later, a larger U.N. team met with Capt. Eid and, again, all went well.
Then, the next day, Jan. 25, 2008, eight days after his first meeting with the UN investigators, Capt. Wissam Eid met precisely the same fate as Hariri. The bomb that ripped apart his four-wheel-drive vehicle also killed his bodyguard and three innocent bystanders. Because there was no doubt in the mind of any member of the telecom team why Eid had died: Hizbullah, they deduced, had found out that Capt. Eid's report had been discovered, that he'd met with the U.N. investigators and that he had agreed to work with them.
Immediately, the telecom team had the records of the cell towers near the Eid blast site collected, reasoning the killers might once again have left digital footprints they could follow. Not this time, though. There was nothing. This time the killers did what they should have been doing all along: They'd used radios, not cellphones. Radios don't leave a trace.
That left the U.N. team with the obvious problem. Their adversary obviously knew not only what the U.N. investigators were doing, but knew in considerable detail. And the more the U.N. investigators thought about it, CBC said, the more they focused on one man: Col. Wissam al-Hassan, the new head of Lebanese police intelligence.

This is what Hezbollah is "Resisting" and "Liberating"....
Just listening to the people of Ghajar, the village straddling the Israeli-Lebanese border nexus, and how distraught they are at being "returned to Lebanon" (pending an Israeli withdrawal), you would think that the last thing the residents of Ghajar want is to be back under the jurisdiction of Lebanon (because they will be, according to them, under Hezbollah, and without electricity and water.... in other words, they don;t want all the wonderful amenities that Lebanon would offer them, and they don;t want to be under Hezbollah. They prefer Israel!
Now mind you, as you will read below, the residents of Ghajar would much prefer to stay Israeli citizens. That is their first option for the obvious reason that they know that Israel treats them a whole lot better than the cesspool government in Beirut. But their second option is still not Lebanon: They feel Syrians and would accept to be under Syria as an alternative, even though they know they would not fare that great either under the Asad toilet dictatorship in Damascus. ....
But please not Lebanon. I wonder why. I mean, shouldn't these Arab people fell grateful that Hezbollah has "liberated" them from the vicious Zionist occupation? Shouldn't these Arabs feel pride at no longer being subjugated to the murderous Jewish occupation, and feel happy at now becoming subjugated to the heavenly Iranian-Shiite-Arab-Syrian-whatever domination?
Hanibaal
----------------------------
Succumbing to pressure from Lebanon and the U.S., Netanyahu is expected to inform United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon of the withdrawal during a meeting in New York on Monday. Israel was required to pull out of northern Ghajar as part of the UN Security Council resolution that ended the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
"I oppose this decision," Nasser Moustafa, a resident of Ghajar, told The Media Line. "People here are completely dependent on Israel. Lebanon has no means of taking care of us: no electricity, no medical services. It would be as though you dropped us in the middle of a desert."
A village of 2,200 residents, Ghajar took on symbolic importance for Hezbollah and many other Lebanese as one of the last vestiges of Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon. The U.S. has pressured Israel to turn over the sector as a way of shoring up the mainly pro-Western government of Lebanese Prime Minister Sa’ad Hariri
Together with the Golan Heights, the southern half of Ghajar was taken by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War with Syria. After Israel annexed the Golan in 1981, Ghajar fell under official Israeli jurisdiction and most of its residents have accepted Israeli citizenship.
Over the years, the village expanded northwards into Israeli-controlled southern Lebanon, incorporating the Lebanese village of Wazzani. The UN demarcated the Israeli-Lebanese border following Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000, granting Lebanon control of the northern section of Ghajar. However, Israel re-took the entire village following its war with Hezbollah in 2006.
Moustafa added that talk of partition has been circulating in the village for over a decade, but people have grown skeptical of the rumors. Despite never having visited Syria, Moustafa, although almost 40 years old, said he felt more Syrian than Lebanese.
"We have brothers in Syria," he said. "In the past, we used to serve in the Syrian army, not the Lebanese army. How can one suggest we live in Lebanon with Hezbollah and all the other militias?"
In fact, Ghajar isn’t quite inside Israel either. The village is surrounded by a fence, preventing both Lebanese and Israelis from freely entering or leaving. But once inside, no barrier separates the Israeli side of the Ghajar from the Lebanese side. Residents carry a special Israeli entry permit that allows them access through an Israeli checkpoint at the entrance to the village, but residents of the Lebanese side complain it is difficult to receive services from Israel. In 2005, Hezbollah fighters launched a rocket attack on the village, but were repelled by Israeli forces.
Most residents of Ghajar belong to the Alawi sect, an offshoot of Shia Islam, whose adherents include Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian political elite.
Najeeb Khateeb, a spokesman for Ghajar, said his townsmen would have consented to the village being transferred in its entirety to Lebanon as a temporary measure before its ultimate return to Syria. He said he opposed the partition.
"We have no objection that the entire village, with all of its lands, be transferred to Lebanon," he told The Media Line. "However, we refuse to become landless refugees in Lebanon. We remained here to guard our homes and land, even though 50% of our residents were uprooted in 1967 and now live in Syria. We would rather die here than become refugees."

Residents carry a special Israeli entry permit that allows them access through an Israeli checkpoint at the entrance to the village, but residents of the Lebanese side complain it is difficult to receive services from Israel. In 2005, Hezbollah fighters launched a rocket attack on the village, but were repelled by Israeli forces.
Khateeb added that the Israeli government's partition decision was taken without consulting the village residents. "They want to put a Berlin Wall in the middle of the town, separating father from son and brother from brother," he said. "It's like the judgment of Solomon."
An unidentified officer at the Israeli checkpoint leading into the village told The Media Line that no instructions on redeployment had been given. But Netanyahu will probably bring the withdrawal decision to his cabinet after he returns from a trip to the U.S. next week.
Now mind you, as you will read below, the residents of Ghajar would much prefer to stay Israeli citizens. That is their first option for the obvious reason that they know that Israel treats them a whole lot better than the cesspool government in Beirut. But their second option is still not Lebanon: They feel Syrians and would accept to be under Syria as an alternative, even though they know they would not fare that great either under the Asad toilet dictatorship in Damascus. ....
But please not Lebanon. I wonder why. I mean, shouldn't these Arab people fell grateful that Hezbollah has "liberated" them from the vicious Zionist occupation? Shouldn't these Arabs feel pride at no longer being subjugated to the murderous Jewish occupation, and feel happy at now becoming subjugated to the heavenly Iranian-Shiite-Arab-Syrian-whatever domination?

Ghajar’s Residents Distraught as Israel Prepares to Split Town

Ghajar, Lebanon (TML) - Residents of Ghajar, a village straddling the Israeli-Lebanese border, are angered over the prospect of the community being split after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to turn over the northern half of the town to Lebanon.
Succumbing to pressure from Lebanon and the U.S., Netanyahu is expected to inform United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon of the withdrawal during a meeting in New York on Monday. Israel was required to pull out of northern Ghajar as part of the UN Security Council resolution that ended the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah."I oppose this decision," Nasser Moustafa, a resident of Ghajar, told The Media Line. "People here are completely dependent on Israel. Lebanon has no means of taking care of us: no electricity, no medical services. It would be as though you dropped us in the middle of a desert."
A village of 2,200 residents, Ghajar took on symbolic importance for Hezbollah and many other Lebanese as one of the last vestiges of Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon. The U.S. has pressured Israel to turn over the sector as a way of shoring up the mainly pro-Western government of Lebanese Prime Minister Sa’ad Hariri
Together with the Golan Heights, the southern half of Ghajar was taken by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War with Syria. After Israel annexed the Golan in 1981, Ghajar fell under official Israeli jurisdiction and most of its residents have accepted Israeli citizenship.
Over the years, the village expanded northwards into Israeli-controlled southern Lebanon, incorporating the Lebanese village of Wazzani. The UN demarcated the Israeli-Lebanese border following Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000, granting Lebanon control of the northern section of Ghajar. However, Israel re-took the entire village following its war with Hezbollah in 2006.
Moustafa added that talk of partition has been circulating in the village for over a decade, but people have grown skeptical of the rumors. Despite never having visited Syria, Moustafa, although almost 40 years old, said he felt more Syrian than Lebanese.
"We have brothers in Syria," he said. "In the past, we used to serve in the Syrian army, not the Lebanese army. How can one suggest we live in Lebanon with Hezbollah and all the other militias?"
In fact, Ghajar isn’t quite inside Israel either. The village is surrounded by a fence, preventing both Lebanese and Israelis from freely entering or leaving. But once inside, no barrier separates the Israeli side of the Ghajar from the Lebanese side. Residents carry a special Israeli entry permit that allows them access through an Israeli checkpoint at the entrance to the village, but residents of the Lebanese side complain it is difficult to receive services from Israel. In 2005, Hezbollah fighters launched a rocket attack on the village, but were repelled by Israeli forces.
Most residents of Ghajar belong to the Alawi sect, an offshoot of Shia Islam, whose adherents include Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian political elite.
Najeeb Khateeb, a spokesman for Ghajar, said his townsmen would have consented to the village being transferred in its entirety to Lebanon as a temporary measure before its ultimate return to Syria. He said he opposed the partition.
"We have no objection that the entire village, with all of its lands, be transferred to Lebanon," he told The Media Line. "However, we refuse to become landless refugees in Lebanon. We remained here to guard our homes and land, even though 50% of our residents were uprooted in 1967 and now live in Syria. We would rather die here than become refugees."

Today's Proof that Lebanon is an Utterly Failed Country
If you want more proof that Lebanon is an artificial, ungovernable, and utterly failed country, all you have to do is read the headline this morning (Naharnet, November 7, 2010) below.
The Lebanese government, consisting of corrupt, sectarian, mercenary ministers more beholden to foreign countries than to their own, was never able to solve its own self-inflicted acute and chronic problems. It has decided to postpone its meeting over one of the most serious crises the country has faced in decades, until Syria and Saudi Arabia first meet and decide on a solution for the inept and stupid Lebanese who can't do it on their own.
Just imagine. Your own government waits for two foreign countries to first agree over you, before you know what is good for you. This is the definition of an underage, irresponsible, immature child, or of a retarded person who has no capacity for decision-making, or of an entity deprived of its own ability at making its own decisions.
We might as well abolish Lebanon as a "country" and call it a dependency that is governed from Riyadh (for the Sunnis) and Damascus (for any sect that wants to cause trouble, like the Druse) and who knows where else (Vatican and Paris for the Catholics; Tehran for the Shiites, etc.), and every other jackass country on the surface of the globe, and forget all that shit about Lebanon being a democracy and a respectable country. It's none of these things. It is just a bunch of unruly and primitive religious tribes who spend most of their time fighting with each other in the name of God, Jesus, Mohammad, the saints, the imams, the ayatollahs, and all this religious rubbish from thousands of years ago), then they go beg the outside world for solutions to their problems and for money to half-assedly run their country. When the Israelis were occupiers, the Lebanese blamed the Israelis. When the Syrians were occupiers, the Lebanese blamed the Syrians. When Yasser Arafat and his PLO burned the country and massacred the Lebanese, the Lebanese blamed the Palestinians. When the Italians-British-French-and Americans came in as a multi-national force to help the Lebanese, the Lebanese turned against them and bombed them out of the country. But now that all these people have left... who can the Lebanese blame but themselves? But the Lebanese have no shame... they are whores and prostitutes to money and power, and they will work with anyone against their own self-interest and their own country for money and power.

-------------------------------------------------------Postponement of Cabinet Meeting Likely Pending Saudi-Syria Solution to False Witnesses Crisis
Cabinet will not likely convene next week if Syria and Saudi Arabia resumed efforts to find a solution to the false witnesses' issue.
Well-informed political sources told pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat in remarks published Sunday that both Damascus and Riyadh have intensified consultations last week in a bid to reach an understanding on the possible exists to the crisis. They pointed to the recent visit by the adviser to the Saudi King, Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah, to Damascus during which he discussed "written ideas for an exit."
The sources said Syria "took time in making comments in response to these ideas." They said both sides agreed to resume contacts after the return of President Bashar Assad from an official visit to Cyprus.
Contacts are expected to resume within a day or two, which means that a postponement of Cabinet meeting is likely, the sources said.

The Curse of Lebanon: Religion, Now as in 1870
William M. Thompson visited Lebanon and the Lebanese back in 1870, and wrote a book to tell everyone how backward the Lebanese were, and for us to see how things haven't changed. At the heart of Lebanon's eternal problems is RELIGION. The Lebanese share the same genes (check Peter Zallouh's work on the Phoenician gene, done in collaboration with the National Geographic), but religion, superstitions, backward beliefs, and the religious establishment keep them chained like brainless sheep, taken to the slaughter every generation with massacres and unfathomable violence in the name of God and religion.
The worst part of it all is that the Lebanese never learn. After each slaughter, they go back doing the exact same behavior that led them to the slaughter a mere generation ago: Worship their feudal bosses, believe in their religious leaders and assorted saints, gods, imams, and such other holy fuckers from the Jurassic, hating the other Lebanese because they "believe" in some other holy fucker than their own... until the next blowup, the next massacre, the next exodus, the next war, the next tragedy.... And then they wonder why those of the Lebanese who emigrate, fleeing this disgusting cesspool of backwardness called Lebanon, never ever return and find their own fulfillment and glory in faraway lands of exile. They wonder, even as they brag about Khalil Gibran being a Lebanese, and even as America loved him more than his native Lebanon, why Gibran told the Lebanese: You have your Lebanon (the Lebanon of disgusting feudalism and religions), and I have mine (the dreamy and peaceful mountain that doesn't really exist except in a poet's mind.
Here are William M. Thompson's own words:
"Lebanon has about 400,000 inhabitants, gathered into more than six hundred towns, villages and hamlets...The various religions and sects live together, and practice their conflicting superstitions in close proximity, but the people do not coalesce into one homogeneous community, nor do they regard each other with fraternal feelings. The Sunnites excommunicate the Shiites - both hate the Druse, and all three detest the Nusairiyeh. The Maronites have no particular love for anybody and, in turn, are disliked by all. The Greeks cannot endure the Greek Catholics; all despise the Jews.
And the same remarks apply to the minor divisions of this land. There is no common bond of union. Society has no continuous strata underlying it, which can be opened and worked for the general benefit of all, but an endless number of dislocated fragments, faults, and dikes, by which the masses are tilted up in hopeless confusion, and lie at every conceivable angle of antagonism to each other. The omnific Spirit that brooded over primeval chaos can alone bring order out of such confusion, and reduce these conflicting elements into peace and concord.
No other country in the world, I presume, has such a multiplicity of antagonistic religions; and herein lies the greatest obstacle to any general and permanent amelioration and improvement of their condition, character, and prospects. They can never form one united people, never combine for any important religious or political purpose; and will therefore remain weak, incapable of self-government, and exposed to the invasions and oppressions of foreigners. Thus it has been, is now, and must long continue to be a people divided, meted out, and trodden down."
From: W. M. Thompson, "The land and the Book", 1870.
