Lebanese army won’t allow a repeat of the al Nakba day, report

Share:

May 15 was the al Nakba day and June 5 is the al Naksa day.

Fatah leader in Lebanon Munir Maqdah said on Wednesday that all Palestinians including Fatah and Hamas groups will take part in the Naksa Day rally scheduled for June 5.

“All Palestinian factions will participate in the event, including institutions from Lebanon’s civil society.”

He told the Central News Agency.

“The May 15 clashes are a ball of fire that will keep on growing until it burns the occupier until the Palestinians are granted their right to return to their homeland,” he added.

Palestinian sources told the news agency that the demonstrators are planning on marching to the Lebanese-Israeli border on June 5, where they will set up tents at Maroun al-Ras and at the Khiyam prison.

They added that preparations and contacts are underway with Lebanese authorities, Hezbollah, and other parties in order to stage Sunday’s rally.

Ten protesters were killed and 112 were wounded in a shooting incident at the Lebanese-Israeli border where Palestinians were demonstrating on Sunday May 15 , security sources said.

June 5 marks the Naksa day the day of defeat . It is the day when the Arab armies were defeated by Israeli in the 1967 six day war . Syria lost the Golan Heights, the Palestinians lost the west bank and Gaza and Egypt lost the Sinai desert.

Security sources told Kuwaiti newspaper al Anbaa that the Lebanese army won’t allow a repeat of the al Nakba day protests that took place in Maroun al Rass. The sources stressed that the army will not allow Israel any more excuses for more killings

One source told the daily that the army recently succeeded in foiling an attempt to fire a rocket towards Israel … the person was detained just before firing the rocket

      Youre good for nothing. Remember the 220 men lost in Naher Al Barid? People like you and the thugs you support are what keeps the Army weak. If we didnt have an army in Lebanon we would have civil war since its the only respected institution in Lebanon. Joey, if you have a brain you would post an apology to the Army as your reply but then again if you had a brain you would not have said something  so stupid to begin with.

        Yes, now you said something I have to agree with. As you know most of the Army are loyal to AOUN.

          @Beiruti:disqus  I don’t have any official documents as these stats are not documented. My statement is based on polls taken from people I know and by talking to some relatives. I knew couple officers who live in our building who affirmed my calculations. Also I talked to some one you might know who gave me the same impression. These people are from Furn Al shibak with a last name as the famous carpet place there, which is the same as my last name. 
          So I don’t have a scientific count, but there is strong support for him inside the Army.

          A poll is supposed to be done using random people like going to 10 bases and interviewing 200 people in each base not by speaking to people you know. either way 60% of the army rank and file (not officers and non commissioned officers like Sargent and Warrent officers)  is shia so if only 10% of the rest support Aoun then he clearly has more support in the Army but its not because they love him. Its because they love HA so if he ever turn on them or when HA take us back to Islamic law like they said they want to and no longer need Aoun I wonder how much support he will have then.

          God that is just so arrogant, Iran-Obsessed.  As much as I can’t stand Hamas, I feel the same about the actions of the IDF, more like Israeli Destruction Force.  True peace occurs when you realize what true peace is.  I can’t believe you deny the existence of Palestine.  People have moved on from that disgusting statement ages ago. Get over it? I can’t get over warcrimes, violations of international law, and disgusting act. I can’t get over the Holocaust, I can’t get over the Bosnian genocide, I can’t get over the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, I can’t get over the Lebanese civil war, and I cant’ get over the actions of Israelis on Palestine. 

          Screw em?

          So disgusting and narrow-minded. If you were misplaced from your home and had a starving family, wouldn’t you want people to help? Put yourself in their shoes?

          Finally Iran Aware shows his true skin… Under the sheep a wolf lurks… You are a Zionist pretending to be someone else. The Palestinians WILL have their state peacefully if you’d like or by force if you do not like… The dictators regimes around you, those who protected you, are crumbling and if one small organization like Hezbollah kicked your ass I really wonder what will 10 plus states attacking you from all sides will do to you. This is not the 60s and you know it and you experienced it…
          So here is a nice suggestion, two states side by side with all Palestinian refugees going back to a just settlement and land living peacefully with Israel (Yes I am for the existence of Israel under these circumstances) or ONE state solution and I guarantee you it won’t be Israel. It is pure demographics nothing magical about it. If you think that the U.S. will come to your rescue, think again. Neither Russia nor China will allow it and even the U.S. is starting to give up on you.

          Hannibal, I wouldn’t say Hezbollah kicked our asses. I mean I would say S. Lebanon was in much worse shape than N. Israel after the war. I don’t think that benefited Israel at all, but I don’t think you can say that they kicked our asses. And polls show that support for Israel in the US is on the rise, not the other way around. And to say the dictators protected us is ridiculous. Assad is Israel’s worst enemy in the Arab world and the keystone in the axis-of-evil. As soon as Syria falls, Hezbollah is finished and our 3-way border will become a much more quiet place.

          Kareem, who are you to say what belongs on the forum and what doesn’t? Nothing he said was particularly hateful or untrue. If he is from Israel, then try to understand why he feels the way he does instead of accusing. I was part of your so called “Israeli Destructive Force” and as destructive as we are to those who try to kill us, if we weren’t there to defend our people from extermination, then they would have been exterminated many times over. That’s defense, man. Don’t give us a reason to need an army, and I assure you, we’d happily spend the money somewhere else (education, infrastructure, etc). Don’t believe me? After peace with Egypt, the defense budget was slashed by 1/4. 

          You asked if we were displaced from our homes what we would do? Well we were. We Jews were displaced and treated like animals, kicked around from place to place for 2,000 years, and nobody helped us or pitied us. Not America. Not Britain. Not our cousins, the Arabs, who instead of welcoming us home, rioted in 1920, 1929, and 1936 against Jewish refugees fleeing pogroms, expulsions, and holocausts. Our Zionist forefathers saved our people with no help from anybody, not by trying to kill Arabs, but in spite of them trying to kill us, by trying to build a country. 

          If the Arabs would have spent even 1/100th of the effort in building their country as they did on destroying ours, they would have had a land to call home a long long time ago. That’s the reason why so many more people died in S. Lebanon than in North Israel. It was the same amount of missiles launched by both sides and the same amount of infrastructure damage. But every house in Israel must be build within 60 seconds of a bomb shelter. If Hamas had spent as much money on bomb shelters as they had on bombs, so many more lives would have been spared. But their obsession with ending Israel is not healthy.

        The problem with ‘half the people’, kareem, is they don’t wish to read a history of 3500 years, and only want to hear the propaganda of the last 70 or so.
        Good if the army can ‘KEEP PEACE’ inside it’s own country – which should be it’s first job – especially when there are factions which seem happy to promote violence with a neighbour. If the army experience is that every time they allow a peaceful demonstration some idiots try to turn it into a war, then why would they allow any more?
        And ‘lebster’ has a point … for sure. If every day in a year is sucked up with ‘celebrate-a-sad-stupidity’ day of some sort, no-one will ever be working.
        Oh … wait … sorry … that’s already happening … especially in the government-businesses of taking care of citizens.

    They should stand and wach them try to cross into Israel if they try and once the Israeli Army shoots them dead the army will not be responsible. Not allowing them to cross or shooting them could give the armed groups in the cams a pretext for attacking the Army. I say if they try to cross the blue line then just let them and let Israel deal with it.

    They should stand and wach them try to cross into Israel if they try and once the Israeli Army shoots them dead the army will not be responsible. Not allowing them to cross or shooting them could give the armed groups in the cams a pretext for attacking the Army. I say if they try to cross the blue line then just let them and let Israel deal with it.

    12 to 13000 united nations personnel fully armed + 8000 lebanese army personnel also fully equiped stationed along the southern border area with israel and they could not or did not want to prevent 2000 to 3000 unarmed civilians from reaching the border fence and try to cross it???? who are we kidding???
     
    should this unexplained total failure in the duties of the lebanese army and the unifil happens one more time, we might as well send them both back home; at least they will escape the disproportionate retaliation of the israeli army and part of the responsibility for a new palestinian massacre, in the event the crowds decided to cross the international border fence again.

    The article is false. It claims Israel won the West Bank and Gaza from the Palestinians. This is not true. Israel West Bank from Jordan and Gaza from Egypt. There has never been a country called Palestine.(not that there shouldn’t be) I’m just saying.

        Your response would have been a bit easier to understand if you used any punctuation. 

        I read this paper because I happen to be interested in the news and events happening in my northern neighbor. I don’t comment on things I don’t know about, but on issues of Israel, I do know a lot so I figure maybe my comments can clear up any preconceptions you might have about my country. 

        I also read because, of all the Arab countries, I have the most respect for Lebanon. You were the only Arab country who didn’t kick their Jews out after Israel achieved independence, and you were the only country not to attack us in 1967. I also imagine that you are the only other country in the world that has suffered at the hands of the Palestinians as much as us. Not just that, but I also feel that unlike the population of most Arab countries around (Jordan, Egypt, Palestine), the Lebanese are not descended from the invading Bedouin from Arabia, but from original North-West Semitic inhabitants, and as such, are the closest cousins of the Jews. That’s probably why Lebanon is so modern and cultured while all our neighbors are so backwards. 

        In response to your incorrect and racist points:

        I don’t think most Israelis think they are god’s chosen people. 40% of the population is atheist. 

        Through his aiding and funding of Hamas and Hezbollah, he is the most dangerous for us. He also serves as the link between Iran and the terrorists. And as far as us never firing a shot at him, perhaps you remember how we bombed in nuclear reactor in September, 2007.

        Jews in Germany were totally assimilated into German culture, spoke German, and in no way deserved the treatment they got. And besides. Hitler didn’t stop with the Jews in Germany. He exterminated the communities of Poland, Russia, Romania, Hungary, Greece,Yugoslavia, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, France, and Holland. I’m sure most of those people had never even heard of Hitler before the Holocaust, let alone “try to show we were better than the german” as you say. 

        And your claim about us picking on people who are weaker… well I assure you, before we returned to our land and founded our country, there was nobody in the world weaker than us. But as soon as we returned home, felt our soil beneath our feet, strengthened by the fruits and fat of our land, we became invincible. And in 1948, when the armies of Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria poured into our borders with the intent of finishing the job Hitler started, not only could they could not defeat our tiny country of only 1 million Jews, but they lost even more land than they started with in the process. And I assure you we had no help from anyone. Nobody wanted to interfere. Not the Americans. Not the Soviets. Not the British. Not anyone. We had to buy our weapons at market price from the Soviets. Maybe you should read your history. 

        As again, about that water thing, I don’t know anything about it, and I’m sorry if we did, but even if it were true, do you think stealing water is reason enough for such hatred? Is it a reason for continued warfare, for even one more life on either side to be lost?

          Good response.  Accurate.
          And you know ‘everyone’ would like to have Lebanon’s water … at least, before pollutants enter the picture.
            Too many people (families with more than 2.5 kids), and the Global Warming that causes, is slowly taking care of the water locked in ice on the mountains. Perhaps you could pray for another ice-age, and then there will be something to happily fight over for a millennia or two.

      Yes there was a country called Palestine. I was looking at a pre-1948 map in a library (I live in the U.S) and Palestine was there…..

        Palestine is a geographic term. Like saying Anatolia instead of Turkey. Perhaps the map you looked at was showing that. Otherwise, politically, before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, the region was British, and known (together with what is today called Jordan) as the British Mandate of Palestine. Before that, until 1923, it was the Ottoman Empire. Before that, it was the Mamluk Empire. Before that, it was Crusader, before that, Seljuk, before that, it was part of the Caliphate. Before that is was Byzantine. Before that it was Roman. Before that it was ours. It was called Judea (which is where the word Jew comes from). After the romans kicked us out, to add insult to injury, renamed the province Palaestina after our ancient enemies, the Philistines. I’m not making any of this up. You can look it all up.

        The point is, there was never a country called Palestine. Jerusalem was never the capitol of any other country except Israel, both past and present, even when it was in Arab hands between the years c.700-c.1000 and between 1948-1967. There are Arabs who live here, who always thought of themselves just as Arabs, until Israel came along and all of a sudden, they became Palestinians. But look for an example of Palestinian nationalism that predates Zionism, and you’ll be searching for a long time.
