Western silence over Libya is deafening says Jumblatt

Share:

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat criticized on Monday the West’s “suspicious” silence over the developments in Libya that are similar to the confusion it felt when confronting the anti-regime protests in Egypt.

“These double standards harm the West’s credibility in the Arab and Muslim world and shatter its image because of its constant pursuit of its interests,” he continued.

Jumblatt comments were featured in his weekly editorial in the PSP-affiliated al-Anbaa magazine that the silence stems from the West’s interest in the oil wealth, “which remains the main drive behind most of western policies that turn a blind eye to human rights and democracy once their interests are jeopardized.”

“Whoever relies on the US and the West is [thinking] without reason since the US is always biased toward Israel.”

Addressing the developments in Libya, the MP said: “It’s time for Libyan President Moammer Gadhafi to step down after 42 years in power and pave the way for real change.”

“The threats issued by Ghadhafi’s regime are nothing but a desperate attempt to clamp down on the people through terrorization and intimidation,” Jumblat stated.

“They won’t turn back the hands of time or alter the course of developments that are aimed at establishing real change,” he noted.

  1. That’s because they stand with the standing… And Libya is still a question mark. So if it will look like majnoun is going down within seconds you will see the West scrambling to support the people if not God help the people.

    1. The Libyan should remember this later on and kick these people out of the country

    Yes so was also Jumblatt and many M8 leaders then were silent when Gaddafi hired snipers by paying 500 lira each to shoot at Christians. Little they know Gaddafi was seeking to create strife between Christians and Muslims. One of the Snipers was Imad Mugnieh himself who was professional Sniper shooting at Christians. He was supporting Arafat then and was doing his dirty deeds. Those Christians should not forget what Hezbollah tried to wipe them out then and there won’t be any difference now. Its just a matter of time for there are no difference between Fatah AL Islam and Hezbollah.
