Gemayel says Lebanon cannot cope with so many Syrian refugees, blasts Hezbollah’s role

Share:

gemayel-back-to-the-rootsMP Sami Gemayel,  leader  of the Lebanese Phalanges Party , said in a July 26, 2019 interview on Al-Hurra TV (U.S.) that Lebanon cannot cope with the 1.5 million Syrian refugees that it has absorbed over the past seven years and which, according to Gemayel, currently constitute 40% of Lebanon’s population.

He said that it is only natural for the Lebanese people to want a solution to this problem and he said that all countries should share in Lebanon’s burden. Gemayel also bemoaned the fact that Lebanon has suffered disproportionately from the Syrian crisis simply as a result of its proximity to Syria.

In addition, Gemayel was highly critical of Hezbollah, saying that its existence as an armed militia runs counter to international norms and to the law and constitution of Lebanon. He called for Hezbollah’s military capabilities to be placed under the command of the Lebanese military and he said that Hezbollah’s influence in the Lebanese government is to the country’s detriment. Gemayel added that Hezbollah is causing an increase in national tensions because of its eagerness to fight alongside Iran were a war to break out between the U.S. and Iran.

He said: “Lebanon should be neutral… The Lebanese have nothing to do with [this conflict].”

    Was the sword killer a Syrian refugee?
    Issa Mohammed is said to be a Jordanian Palestinian. The state is considered a safe country of origin.
    Should we trust arabs coming to us?

    In a bestial way, Issa Mohammed kills the German-Kazakh Wilhelm L. (36). Several times he stabbed him with a sword. His dotter witnessed the bestial act!

    Weren’t the the Sabra and Chatila massacres conducted by Christian PHALANGISTS??? Perhaps Mr. Gemayel should get HIS house in order before lecturing the Muslims about how they should act. It is CHRISTIAN America, Britain, and France and JEWISH Israel that have conducted the Syrian civil war and caused the massive refugee crisis Mr. Gemayel is complaining about. If Mr. Gemayel really wants a solution to these problems, he should tell his CHRISTIAN allies to stand down and act properly, perhaps even follow the peaceful example of their Prophet. You’re not acting very Christian, Mr. Gemayel, unless you consider the Christian Crusades, in which case you are acting totally predictably

        Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it… or, to allow it to repeat itself to their detriment. NEVER Trust a Christian or Jew…NEVER take them for your allies or protectors….ALWAYS hold them to their contracts, and punish them severely for voiding those contracts or agreements. YOU cannot be trusted, and I refuse to allow History to repeat itself over and over again just because YOU are a fool.

          I am no fool for I know you for what you are. All (wo)men of good conscious gawk at the depth of your disconnect with the reality your failed “history” attempts to rewrite. But worry not, for you are surrounded by many who similarly belief that if a wrong is repeated enough, it will become a right. Allah knows better and will deliver harsh judgement unto your seed, inshallah, both that you spill on the ground and that you share in aberrance ..

      “In 1968, the U.S. was most likely behind the rise of the far-right coalition of “the tripartite alliance,” which included the Phalanges, who swept through the election and, in few years, would—with U.S.help—trigger the Lebanese civil war. (New U.S. archival materials show the extremely close relations between those parties and U.S. and Israel).

      But the U.S. and Saudi Arabia surpassed all previous foreign interventionin Lebanon in the 2009 election, when they threw close to a $1 billion to sway the vote on the side of the March 14 coalition, which included the Muslim Brotherhood and right-wing groups—all dubbed “pro-Western” byU.S. media.

      The victor was arranged although the election was very close: no one side was able to rule without veto power by the otherside.”
