Expressive!

The caricature is from An Nahar prominent Lebanese newspaper. it depicts the three European minsters who visited Lebanon recently, bringing a balloon with compassion written over it to the Lebanese who are drowning and in need of much more than some compassionate words...

A humane good will gesture!

Imagine this scenario: Prime Minster Siniora in a press conference announces that in “a humane good will gesture” to Israel, especially to the families of the victims, he will order the army to search and deliver any remains of Israel soldiers it finds. Imagine the indignation, the accusations of treachery and collaboration with the enemy that he wil immediately face…

Now back to reality, Nassrallah came on TV and just said that. As always he was hailed a hero, a true leader, while PM Siniora just for answering the questions of an Israeli journalist, with no prior knowledge his identity, is accused, on regular basis, of treason and collaboration…

So anyone care to explain? Or maybe this is just another example of Al Manar’s and Hezbollah’s double standards and hypocrisy!

Nassrallah and his latest speech…

So now after all what he said about how wrong it is to suspect someone for the crime without solid evidence and a fair trial, Nassrallah just decided that Israel is the one behind the latest assassinations in Lebanon.

Additionally, Hezbollah always hinted and insinuated that 14 March were in league with Israel, yet he now considers that only Israel can be behind the latest assassinations? So according to him Israel is killing its own allies!

But I am not surprised; Nassrallah speeches have become a minor occurrence in Lebanon turbulent political life. But what was striking was the fact that, less than two months before the end of the constitutional period for the election of the president, Nassrallah did not nominate General Aoun as the opposition candidate!

If anyone had any doubt left about the chance of Aoun becoming president I think it all over now. And I can confidently say that Aoun will not be the next President. Who will be the next president and whether we will have a new president ate two questions that I will answer in my next articles…
