Hezbollah allies rush to defend it over clinic incident

Share:

Following the reports over the Wednesday clash between investigators of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon ( STL) and women at a clinic in Hezbollah-controlled al Dhahiya , several Hezbollah allies and sympathizers rushed to defend the Iranian and Syrian backed Islamist group.

According to reports by the local MTV station most of the women who attacked the two investigators affiliated with the Special Tribunal for Lebanon were clad in veils with their faces covered, and were believed to be men dressed in women clothes.

The investigators had scheduled a meeting with Dr. Iman Charara – who runs the clinic.

Sharara, who runs the clinic, and is believed to have close links with Hezbollah, said the investigators who came to her office had previously scheduled the appointment and that they “wanted to know the phone numbers of some 14 to 17 people who had visited her clinic since 2003.”

Following the incident Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah called on all Lebanese to boycott STL and to end all cooperation with its investigators.

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt , a Hezbollah sympathizer issued a statement on Friday in which he described the behavior of STL’s investigators as ‘unethical’ and wondered whether the such behavior serves justice.

Jumblatt , who used to be a major supporter of STL said that parties must understand the objection of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to the Wednesday incident in Dahiyeh.

The Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), another ally of Syria issued a statement on Friday saying that “the parties that support the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) are endorsing a US-Israeli project.”

“The STL’s goal has become obvious… it is no longer acceptable for any Lebanese to support it.”

Change and Reform bloc MP Michel Aoun, Hezbollah’s key Christian ally said on Friday that “legally, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) does not exist.”

He told Al-Manar television that he had never acknowledged the existence of the STL, adding that it was imposed by the UN Security Council on Lebanon.

“The tribunal does not exist, so we do not have any problem by not cooperating with it,” Aoun said, adding that Lebanon is not bound to pay an annual share to fund the court.

“How can I acknowledge a tribunal that does not admit the existence of unreliable testimonies?” He asked

He also said that the STL has become an instrument to create disputes between the Lebanese people.

MP Talal Arslan, a staunch Syrian ally said on Friday that he is opposed to accusing Hezbollah of involvement in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri “no matter how high the price,” media outlets reported.

He added: “We will not accept any party to harm the Resistance.”

Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghadanfar Roken Abadi said in an interview published Friday that Israel is endorsing the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) to incite strife in Lebanon.

“The Israelis and their allies cannot bear witnessing stability in Lebanon,” he also said in an in interview with Manbar al-Wehda magazine.

Tension escalated in Lebanon following reports that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon will soon issue its indictment into the 2005 assassination of Lebanon’s former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Last July, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that the tribunal is “an Israeli project” that will indict Hezbollah members. Nasrallah accused Israel of being behind Hariri’s assassination but refused to provide the evidence to STL to support his claim. Hezbollah and its March 8 allies have been calling for the abolition of STL.

Some leaders like MP Walid Jumblatt are concerned that should the court indict Hezbollah members, it could lead to a Shiite-Sunni strife, but others disagree since Hezbollah and its allies the Syrian backed Palestinian militants are the only armed militias in Lebanon.

  1. Just read the last paragraph here and how stupid it sounds…others disagree that the STL will bring strife in Lebanon because Hezbollah and Syria Backed Palestinian militants are the only ones armed??

    Where were these people in May 2008? Hezbollah and their allies were NOT fighting ghosts.
    Other Parties in Lebanon DO have arms and we saw that in May 2008.

    You guys can fool yourselves all you want – but we all know that ALL groups in Lebanon have arms – just hidden away from everyone’s view – but they are there.

    Stop lying to everyone and to yourselves because we all know the truth – and your lies just go to show who is really destroying Lebanon right now.

    What possibly could the UN need from the Gynecology files of WOMEN in the murder of a PM?
    I don’t see any connection whatsoever – can any of you please help me to see it.

    What I do see – is after Israels spies are falling one by one – the Israeli Controlled UN is looking at the files of relatives of Hezbollah members in order to do MORE spying on them.

    Internationally – Doctors MUST respect the Confidentiality of a persons Health Records and private information – and nothing ANYONE will say will change my mind on this fact.

      your a clown infact almost all who comment on this site are clowns just like Lebanons political system.
      It is always been a fact that an Arab will SELL his BROTHER for a dollar
      Lebanon has an 80 billion dollar dept on WHAT? OH OH I KNOW EVERY F..N MEMBER OF PARRLIAMENT IN LEBANON IS A MILLIONAIRE AND THERE FAMILIES. LOVE MY COUNTRY BUT THE PEOPLE ARE WORTH LESS THAN TEN BOB. YOUR ALL CLOWNS QUESTION? IF YOU HAVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR THROWING BOTTLES IN YOUR HOUSE FOR YEARS WOULD YOU NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP THEM.

      1. Master09….why am I the clown??? Have I said ANYTHING that doesn’t make sense to you??

        I agree with you that Arabs will sell their families for money and I agree with you that most of Lebanon’s politicians are thieves of the backs of Lebanese.

        Who is to blame though?? Is it not the millions of Lebanese who were offered a free vacation to come to Lebanon and VOTE for those Thieves?? Because of this, the people of Lebanon who voted those thieves deserve everything they get.

        We elected people who know nothing except going on TV every day shouting at each other back and forth.

        Why do you think the whole world doesn’t care about us? Because they only see we are good with fighting each other and killing each other and they are sick and tired of hearing the same garbage time and time again.

        Why do we hear about people who want to make violence or threaten violence over the STL? For the sake of Hariri and a few others who were killed? We should kill hundreds and maybe thousands more for them?? How stupid can we be??

        We will NEVER get the truth…as long as we deny investigating Israel. Just the other day an Israeli Politician admitted that Israel benefitted from Hariri’s Death and that they launched many operations in Lebanon after he died and Syria left.

        Why are ALL of you silent about this??

        “Israel benefited Rafiq Hariri Murder”
        http://www.presstv.ir/detail/148593.html

        And if you think the UN controlled STL will give you justice guys…let them first give you justice from Israel’s crimes in Lebanon – without the USA Veto’ing every anti-Israel Resolution in this matter. < This fact alone should make ALL of you wake up and realise why many of us are against the STL, because ultimately it is controlled by the UN which has always and forever protected Israel and the other nations who commit war crimes on a daily basis.

      False knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. Once I determine which description suites you best, I’ll let you know if I’m offended .Even though I’m allergic to ignorance, it does not usually offend me since ignorant people are excused.
      Speaking of democracy, I’ll just say this to you; Democracy and freedom of speech go hand in hand. Equality and freedom have been identified as important characteristics of democracy since ancient times.
      Before you advocate demoracy, you should learn to be tolerant of others. You have the right to have your own political views, so do others. If you can’t accept that others have that right, then, you are a hypocrite who preaches what you are not capable of practicing. Your “democracy” is not much different than the “democracy “practiced in Egypt or Syria.
      You do sound like a typical Lebanese who was involved in the civil war, where it was easier eliminating those who disagreed with you , than just insulting them, I can understand your frustration, and I’d advice you to seek some help.
      Remember that an ounce of facts is worth a ton of arguments; Start showing facts instead of bursting in insults and personal attacks.

  12. Jumblatt…” described the behavior of STL’s investigators as ‘unethical’ and wondered whether the such behavior serves justice.” What a joke, switching faces IS “ehthical”. I wonder how much money he got paid to swith from his stance to becoming a supporter of Iran. People, since when investigating a murder became unethical. I am trying to understand what goes on through these people’s pea size brain, but I can’t seem to understand. Guys, Lebanon is in urgent need of a completely newer younger politicians who truely understand true democracy; who will ONLY work for Lebanon and the people of Lebanon. Moreover, Aoun is another STUPID joke.
