Terrified Bassil Dumps Hezbollah. Deserves 2023 Nobel for Treachery

Gebran Bassil says his ill-named “Free Patriotic Movement” (FPM) has agreed with the Lebanese opposition on a name for a candidate for the presidential elections, though the political program remains incomplete. Bassil, however, being terrified at the prospect of being a target of assassination by his former ally, the Iranian terrorist militia of Hezbollah, continues to lick the flip-flops of Hassan Nasrallah and says, “it is necessary to find an agreement with everyone else, including Hezbollah.” Lick, Gebran, lick, it may save your life from the wrath of Beelzebub with whom you struck a Faustian deal in 2006.

After spending close to two decades as a Christian Dhimmi slave to the Iranian terrorist organization, when he should have known that there are consequences to dealing with an unlawful, criminal and terrorist organization, Bassil is now walking back from his love affair with the Iranian mullahs. Why? Because his Christian base has deserted him and is now squarely in the camp of the Christian opposition, the Lebanese Forces of Samir Geagea.

As is typical in primitive tribal Lebanese politics, Bassil doesn’t find it necessary to explain to his followers and the Lebanese people his turnaround on his 20-year-long treasonous relationship with Hezbollah, in which he and his father-in-law, former traitor president Michel Aoun, have spoken ill of the Lebanese army as an incapable institution and used this as a justification for defending the unlawful existence of Hezbollah. Once a defender of Israel against Palestinian suicide operations, and an enemy of Syria and Iran, Michel Aoun became an enemy of Israel and an ally of Syria and Iran overnight after the idiot Bassil convinced him to betray his principles and his country to become president. Hezbollah then proceeded to paralyze Parliament for 2.5 years to force Aoun into the presidential palace.

Now Bassil, always the reliable imbecile, thought that his blood covenant with Hezbollah included securing him the presidential seat in Baabda after his senile father-in-law's term ended. But in this treacherous masquerade, Hezbollah is the puppeteer and Bassil the puppet, and now the puppeteer has found another more reliable traitor to deal with in the person of the medieval feudal lord from the north, Sleiman Frangiyeh, and has therefore ignored Bassil’s constant drooling and groveling at the feet of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The scorned lover and cuckold Bassil is angry but cannot express his anger freely because the puppeteer is prone to using violence, including assassination, against former puppets who wash dirty laundry in public.

But Bassil is desperate, very desperate. His Christian base has all but deserted him, and his popularity with that base is waning as the old geezer Michel Aoun slips into oblivion, while Bassil's apparent political buoyancy was strictly dependent on his tactical alliances with those he now claims are his enemies, as the May 2022 elections showed. As Hezbollah is dumping him, Bassil finds himself without any ally, so he is trying to cling to a few fibers of Nasrallah's robes while at the same time walking away - or pretending to walk away - from Hezbollah. In other words, he wants his cake and eat it too. He's such an idiot.

For example, he recently declared what he is asking Hezbollah to put aside its coercive confrontational posture and adopt an acceptable national consensus, or alternatively to agree to a democratic competition in parliament by voting. Wow, Bassil used to defend Hezbollah’s coercive and often lethal methods when they favored him and Michel Aoun. Now that it is no longer the case, he is critical of them. He further says that the current performance of the Shiite duo (Amal movement and Hezbollah) is uniting the Christians! Indeed, Bassil’s Christian followers have rallied the Christian base of Bassil’s rival, the Lebanese Forces of Samir Geagea, and any Christian unity will be without him personally. Too bad for Bassil who is begging anyone and everyone to save him from his own self-inflicted political demise.

As his ship is sinking, Bassil continues to flail about by begging former friends and foes. After cursing and badmouthing the Saudis for decades to satisfy his Hezbollah masters, Bassil is now engaged in heavy bootlicking at the feet of the Saudis and other Gulf Arabs. He now says that his FPM never meant to harm the Gulf countries (while he previously remained mum on Hezbollah's manufacturing and smuggling drugs like Captagon to the Arabian Gulf), but that today, faced with the ongoing changes in the region, he has a responsibility to bear. Not short on groveling and brown-nosing given his self-inflicted pathetic situation, Bassil went unusually far in praising Saudi Arabia for its new policies: If the Saudis’ great evolution can be disseminated across the region, we could see a new Europe in its humanitarian concept and its civilizational development, which would have huge repercussions on Lebanon including a rejection of the project of an alliance of minorities.

Bassil and Aoun should be inducted into the “Greatest Traitors Hall of Fame” of the history of Lebanon. To betray, knowing that you are betraying, then when the winds turn, to crawl back on your knees to kiss the feet of those whom you betrayed…is the height of treason and betrayal. Bassil should be given the 2023 Nobel Prize for Betrayal and Treachery.

 

Saudi Sunnis, Lebanese Sunnis and Lebanese Christians

A Saudi woman astronaut is now working on biomedical research aboard the International Space Center. Who would have thought it possible? Saudi Arabia is achieving nothing short of miracles in its push to modernize the country.

Lebanon's Sunnis, meanwhile, who look up to Saudi Arabia as their reference since the Kingdom is Sunni Muslim, continue to regress backwards into barbaric traditions. Last week in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon, Sunni Muslim clergymen harassed two women who were sunbathing on a beach, claiming that the wearing of bathing suits is "indecent".

As usual, the Lebanese - in all their sects and confessions - prove their backwardness. They never lead with new ideas they come up with themselves. They look to the outside, then like monkeys copy-paste the worst of the outside, never the best. It usually takes the Lebanese 20-30 years, i.e. a whole generation, to adopt new ideas from the outside world which they initially disagreed with. It's a primitive reflex innate to Lebanese arrogance to dismiss new ideas at first, then when they see others distancing them or the dollar signs flickering from the new ideas, they rush to adopt them. Still worse, they adopt them out of context because, in the rush, they haven't thought through them.

You name it: the environment, individual rights, separating state and religion... 

I reside in a middle class neighborhood somewhere in the Matn region where Maronite and Orthodox Christians are the majority. They condescendly look down on Syrians and other foreigners (yard workers, maids, etc.) who work with their hands. Having surfed on the fake booming economy of the past 30 years, these Christians have forgotten what it is to work hard. They get their fresh dollars from their children and relatives who have fled the cesspool, they hire maids, drive in huge gas-guzzling SUVs to show off, and are convinced that "loving life" means sit down in cafes, smoke the water pipe and eat. Life is all about show-off in Lebanon. People rarely do things because they are convinced of them; they do them to prove that they are not "low class", that they are successful (even if only in appearance), and that they are better than their neighbors. Now that the economy has tanked, they are having a hard time adjusting to what I consider "normal" life, in which you clean your own house, cook your own meals, walk your dog - Yes, they all have dogs, but they have the maid take the dog out on its daily walk. 

They spurn public schools and prefer to send their children to religious schools where they are taught to believe just enough science to get a job later. But forget about teaching the children human rights, the environment, real science like Darwinian theory and quantum physics.... because all these "western fads" are against God and the Church. These children and young adults trash their own villages and towns. Right next to my house is a long street flanked by wooded areas. I go out every day and pick up the trash - tissue papers, plastic bottles and bags, wrappings of US-style fast food, chocolate and candy wrappings, etc.- that these children or maybe even adults dump around them when they come here to play and fornicate in their souped up noisy cars. I don't mind the play and the fornication, but I abhorr the trash and the abject contempt for the environment. These are the same kids who grab their shotguns during migratory bird seasons and shoot at any stork, pelican, hawk, etc that passes overhead.

So I ask myself: What do these parents and schools (nuns and priests who fill their heads with barbaric religious beliefs) teach the children about the science behind the environment, about their place in the world, about mutual solidarity with their fellow Lebanese and human beings? The local municipality is a den of cronyism, corruption and incompetence that has left the town marred by potholes and garbage strewn everywhere. So I understand why the children behave the way they do.

But these people who call themselves Christians are not Christian in the substantive meaning of the word. They are politically Christian, but do not put any of the Christian teachings in practice in their daily lives. To them, to be a Christian is like going to a restaurant: You pick and choose from a menu those items which you like. As soon as they are out of the church on Sunday, they resume their Mafia-like lives of clients to the boss, of conniving merchants searching for a dollar here and there, without any consideration for solidarity and cooperation. In a village nearby in the region, there are three churches built right next to one another. Each church was built by one of the two dominant families of the village over silly disputes. The first two churches were both named after Saint Elias. When another dispute erupted within one of the two families, a third church was built to be named, again, after Saint Elias. But they finally perceived the riddicule, common sense prevailed and it was named after Saint George. 

If the Christians of Lebanon claim to be "more advanced" than the Muslims because they tolerate women in bikinis on their beaches, it doesn't mean that they are civilized. They have a long way to go, and it seems that the heart of Sunni Islam, Saudi Arabia, is far ahead of any of those religious numskulls in Lebanon that can't even run a country properly.

Commemorating the Nakba

"I think it’s very hard for Israelis to admit that they commit war crimes. Because basically, the project of Zionism has a problem…You cannot create a safe haven by creating a catastrophe for other people." Ilan Pappe, professor emeritus of Haifa University.   

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The UN has for the first time expressed its regrets for the criminal creation of the State of Israel over the ashes of historic Palestine.

Israel is just a clone of South Africa under apartheid. Time to rectify the fake history propagated by the Zionist movement: Either a full-fledged independent Palestinian State over the remaining 22% of historic Palestine, or one bi-national country that is both Israeli and Arab, non-sectarian for all religions, including the three Jewish-Muslim-Christian religions. Otherwise, especially if the dumb Americans and their British poodles continue to blindly support Israel and its barabaric occupation, Israel is bound to proceed unabated with its violent apartheid policies of massacre and displacement, with the inevitable eviction of the remaining 5 million Palestinians in a gigantic ethnic cleansing campaign in order to achieve the purely Jewish State it says it wants. 

Is this what the world wants? A third ethnic cleansing of Palestine for so-called religious reasons?

1- Back in Bronze Age Palestine, the biblical garbage tells us that God gave the land to the Hebrews and commanded them to massacre the Canaanites (ancestors of the Palestinians), which Joshua did, killing men, women and children and taking their towns and villages.

2- Late 19th century - present time: The Zionist colonialist movement, based in part on the same biblical garbage of a "return" in addition to a mercantile colonial project, invaded Palestine and created the artificial state of Israel over the ashes of Palestine, massacring and evicting the native Palestinian population.

3- If the US and Great Britain and their poodles continue their blind support of apartheid Israel, the 21st century may itself be a witness of a third and final ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinians out of their ancestral lands.

Just like former colonial countries have in recent years expressed their regrets for all the barbarity they inflicted on the native populations of African, Asian, and Latin American nations and peoples, the UN - but unfortunately not the barbaric Americans and English - continue to defend the Eastern European barbarians who invaded, massacred, displaced the native indigenous Palestinian people, herding them into refugee camps all across the region. Israel continues today, under a bigoted hypocritical facade of a tailored rule of law, prohibit Palestinians from returning to their towns, villages and lands, including both those who fled to neighboring countries and those who were evicted from one town to another inside Palestine itself. Do you ever wonder why there are refugee camps inside Israel itself? Do you ever wonder why Palestinian places are called "villages" while Israeli places are called "settlements"?

The Zionist movement is just another colonialist movement among many that sprung up in the mid-to-late 19th century in Europe, bearing the so-called "white man's burden" to civilize the rest of the world. The Zionist movement is one of many European nationalist movements that wrecked havoc around the world with barbaric wars, genocides, colonial seizure of entire nations and peoples, stealing their cultural heritages, forced religious conversions, etc.

In twenty years between 1920 and 1940, the Zionist terrorist movements of Haganah, Stern, Lehi and others attacked Palestinian villages, massacred their populations or forced them to flee, seizing their homes to install Jewish colonists who were entering Palestine illegally. In urban centers, the entire infrastructure of Palestine was built over centuries by an energetic, active Palestinian population, yet living under Ottoman occupation: local governments, courts of law, banks, museums, schools, cultural centers, hotels, etc. in addition to a productive agricultural sector. In the villages, Palestinian generations had for thousands of years, as evidenced by the millennial olive orchards that the barbarian Israelis keep uprooting, lived in traditional harmony with their environment. They, unfortunately, did not muster the wealth and sophistication of the invading hordes of European Jews, nor did they understand the violence that was being inflicted on them by these foreign barbarians who had learned everything, especially the violent repression of people, from their racist and violent Nazi European environment. Just like the native Amerindians when the white Europeans arrived. That is why the invaders won, and the natives lost. The Palestinians tried to mobilize against the invading hordes of European Jewish barbarians, but they were no match. Especially since the British racists had hypocritically sold Palestine to Jewish European bankers in exchange for loans with which the British fought the World Wars, and then allowed hundreds of thousands of Jews to enter mandatory Palestine illegally and massacre and evict the indigenous Palestinians.

For the decades since 1948, the State of Israel and its tentacles in Hollywood, Wall Street, the American and British media, the Jewish Agency, and others, have propagated the lies that everyone at first believed. Calling Palestine a land without people, referring to the Palestinians as squatters from the surrounding Arab countries, saying that the Palestinians left of their own will, continuously labeling the Palestinian National Movement as terrorist, Islamic, or in cahoots with other terrorist nations, saying that the Jewish European invaders were poor refugees from the death camps of Nazi Europe, etc.. All lies that most people believed because there were only very few sources of information, all held by the Zionist lobbies. 

But now the Internet has democratized information. Over the past few decades, the truth about the monumental crime of the 20th century, namely the creation of colonial Israel, has been exposed. Paid Zionists continue to haunt discussion forums on the Internet and other places where they continue to disseminate hateful lies about the Palestinian people; but no one believes them anymore. The truth is out of the box and it is unstoppable. And that is why it took the cowards of the international community and the UN 70 years to finally call Israel for the crime it constituted against the Palestinian people. After righfully voting in the 1970s the "Zionism is Racism" resolution, the General Assembly was forced, again by the powerful Zionist lobbies, to repeal that vote. But the Zionist endeavor of murdering an entire nation continues. The fight, however, is not over. The world is finally coming to terms with the crime of the 20th century: The creation of the western colony of Israel in the heart of the Near East over the ashes of historic Palestine.
