Hezbollah, Amal gatherings prompt schools in Beirut to close

Share:

Hezbollah and Amal Movement supporters gathered in the streets of downtown Beirut early Tuesday prompting several schools in Beirut to close as nervous parents pulled their children from class.

Al-Arabia TV reported that hundreds of unarmed Hezbuollah and Amal Movement members gathered in downtown Beirut around 7 am local time . Most of the concentration was in the areas of Basta, Beshara Khoury, Nweiri, Ras el-Nabeh, Tayounneh and Zoqaq Blat.

They were reportedly dressed in black and carrying hand-held radios.

Lebanese security officials confirmed the gatherings, which dispersed by late morning and appeared to be a show of force to coincide with the videotaped statement by Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s (STL) Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare about the about the indictment’s filing.

Hezbollah denied any knowledge about the gathering. Ghaleb Abu Zeinab, a member of Hezbollah’s political bureau, said he is not aware of such gatherings.

“I cannot comment,” he said.

According to Voice of Lebanon Speaker Nabih Berri , who heads the Amal Movement interfered to contain the situation .

According to sources of Lebanon Files the gathering was intended as a manoever aimed at preparing for a major protest in the future … similar to what the Hezbollah led opposition supporters did between 2006 and 2008when they occupied downtown Beirut and tried to bring down the government

Bellemare submitted the court’s draft indictment for the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri to STL Pre-trial Judge Daniel Fransen on Monday at 4:35 p.m. local time.

The indictment was sealed and its contents will likely not become public for weeks.

Even though no one knows until this very moment the contents of the indictments the Iranian and Syrian backed Hezbollah has said it expects the indictments to be against members of its group.

Hariri was assassinated with 22 others on February 14, 2005 when a massive explosion struck his motorcade in a fashionable seafront district of Beirut, sending tremors through a country still haunted by memories of its 1975-1990 civil war..

    Hezbollah denied any knowledge of the gatherings of their loose animals. Then who let the dogs out?
    As usual Hezbollah is lying thru their teeth in trying to show intimidations by their large numbers.
    First they’re not armed but then they will send them armed the next time the STL issues their indictment.
    Anyone wants us to believe these assholes are there for peaceful purposes or Hezbollah is only to fight Israel is very naive.
    They’re no different than Al Qaada and other extremist organizations who only looking to empower themselves and take control of lebanon.

    1. Lying is part of their Shiite believe ,is called al Takiya , they use to serve their puropose , alos if they were to lose they will side turn , as you recall whn Israeli jet were bombing Nasrallah I mean the population ,as he was in his dungeon hiding ,Nasrallah agreed to let the army out and the most important to 1701, and later he accused everyone for signing 1701, as the christ say from their faces you should know them.When you Look at Nasrallah and Aoun what you see, Lies, Anger , Frustration , amd Murders ….. when you look at him , as yourself this question , is this man capable to conspire to kill Hariri ? look at his face and get the answer yourself

  2. What u expect from low scums, their religion is based on pleasure marriage, dirt , terror and stabbing in th back and murders,after all years they still behave like before the war as Chicklets sellers not more than that

    1. Pleasure marriage or not, it is working for them as there will be more of them and less of you… lol

      1. once they rule your Hezb el Kawmi that you belong too will disappear too,enjoy them and go have a pleasure marriage too, join the mentally retarded Aoun.

        1. How can I belong to SSNP if I despise Syria? You are close but not that close. I’ll give you a hint. The party I belong to is forbidden in Lebanon.

          Guss,
          Hope you do not mind me interfeering, but religious abuse was completely uncalled for. There was absolutely no need to go that far. In all the sects in Lebanon, there are clean and there are scum including Xtians. Plus pleasure marriages as you have called it, is not practised or beleived by the majority of the Shiites.
          Also, how can you accuse Hannibal of belonging to SSNP, he belongs to the same party as I do. The Outlawed Party (TOP).lol

        3. Dear Hannibal,with all respect ,there is nothing to be proud about the Phoenician ,they were like we are now ,divided and competing with each others , most surrendered to Alexander the grat Tyre decided to fight, if they were partly reponsibl for the Alpahbet well they did export it all !! when Carthage was being conquered no toher Phoenician city gace a damn,this should tell you about our present situation, Antoun Saade was a good dreamer , visted Nazi germany and got impressed with the Nazi and try to apply a similar ideology to the Levant ,mainly he wanted the put the relgion aside ( that something I admire him for ) but otherwise he got many obsrtacles and he realizes that there is nothign in common between an Iraqi and Syrian and Paletinian other than language , ( the failure is in front of us everyday), Phoenician they sacrifice a virgin women and they worship Baal and so on but didnt leave any trace like the Assyrians and Hanourabi or the Roman Empire or theGreek, traders as we are now ,Lebanese wonder ,immigrate make a fortune but nothing for collective benefit.SSNP shuld have closed their shops after the death of Saade but instead they became agent for the british intelligence first, and after they created the PLO when Chehab banned them , and they resurface in the war as Syrian agent who blew car bombs ,aassasinte politcal figures , Saad Hardan planned and orchestrated the Bashir murder at the order of Assad and was rewarded , dirt and dirt and son of bitches in every community and religion, The shiites started with Ahmad Safouan killing torturing Christain in Nabaa and Amal Killing left and right in 1975 , after t=with Hezbollah they claimed a Holy vocation from god to liberated the south and now they are regualr bandits with a Cleric that is nothing holy in him.
          In regard criticizing religion ,i will criticise anything I like, an I say anything I like, the Christian in Egypt Killed so in Iraq , 13 years old girls in Iraq gang raped last year and they are leaving because the moslm relgion is so tolerant !!! and we hear nOOO it is not islam who is doing this is Zionism in Egypt and Iraq, you know what F whoever say it is Zionism ,it is Islam, until now Christian in egypt who count 10 millions needs the Bastard Moubarak approval before building a church, screw them all and I say what I want about any religion I want , no one is killing the moselm in Europe , they are the one who are full fo hate and injustice and their religon is violence !!! since it was established

        4. So you are repeating what I have been saying all along but I am politically correct. 😉
          I have Moslem friends who are like myself areligious (that does not make us atheists). To collectively say that the moslems are to blame is unjust because the majority of them are really pacifist. They refuse to fight or kill. However thugs rule the street. Remember that the Aounist are Christians who had it with the excesses of the Lebanese Forces when they ruled the streets and even Bashir used to yell at them because they were unruly. That does not betray any cause nor any political views nor advocate one. All what I want is that the sons and daughters of modern Lebanon work for Lebanon and not for their religion.
          As far as your comments about the Phoenicians you are totally wrong. Despite what you read in the histories and your small wrong treaties you are very wrong on this subject. That is a different topic altogether and whatever your trade is you should stick to it and leave the history to me as I have been doing it and research it for decades.
          Remember though this fact. AND that is a freebie, so I won’t charge you… lol … The victors wrote the histories. The Phoenicians loved their freedom and like all other nations during those times (including the Greeks) they operated as city states and they had rivalries. However, they had one religion (with many Gods) so that was not the issue of their conflicts. They bickered but never killed each others. They existed for more than 2000 years and for you to sum it up in two sentences written by Herodotus or the stupid lying Bible I think you are being overly unfair to a people that brought a lot to humanity. Be proud! Pride is probably the only thing that the Lebanese share with each others, sadly!

      2. I know enough SSNP, half of them are Hannibal

        1. You are absolutely right. SSNPs believe in the histories of the entire Levant as being one. They are proud of their heritage and of their history. I like the idea of a unified Levant but not under a Syrian flag, therefore I am not SSNP. I think unity of all those lands IF federated like the U.S. into states might solve a lot of our problems. Communities will have the freedom they need yet the monetary system and commerce and the federated army will be one and strong one I must add. However, that is a long shot as I do not believe we as a nation are ready for such a leap, therefore I am not SSNP. You still don’t get it though, not only the party I belong to is forbidden in Lebanon, but here is another hint, our leader is in exile, alive and well. Keep guessing guss…
          On another note, although I am anti-religion I really do not believe that desecrating the religion of others is appropriate. In the free world we have freedom of religion but the law of man rules first. So marrying more than one is forbidden in the West. That is Law but do not forget that adultery is so rampant and HPV, herpes, and Hepatitis and AIDS are too in those communities, an indication of how much behind doors is going on.
          As far as Christianity is concerned, Jesus said it is not only adultery to commit the act but to even look at a woman of another and want her in your head is adultery as well. What he meant here was STOP judging.

      3. that the only Legal party now the Outlaw party:))=Hizbollah, you are in guys

      “their religion is based on pleasure marriage”

      Does your religion promote a dissatisfaction marriage? Did you marry someone you despise?

      1. dont twait things around ,you know well what am talking about, a pleasure marriage in the SHIITE MEANS i CAN HAVE YOU FOR ONE NIGHT

      2. Dont be smart and twist things, you know what am talking about , a religion that allow a man to kidnap a girl or a lady ,marry her as pleasure marriage for 1 night or a week and return her back to parents , a religion that make prostitution holy and who pray on this marriage ? we saw Iraq after the Sunni stop ruling what happened to it , and Iran we dont need to mention,Do you want a Lebanon that look like th southern suburbs or smell like it, did you ever wonder there and smell the open sours !!!! my religion doesnt promote pleasure marriage ,it peomote civilisation, the PC,Plane, thePhone that Nasrallah use and the car he ride and the Manar TV is a Christian invention you like it or not,you think th e Shiite made Lebanon economically, Look at their bandits behaviour occupying beirut for 2 years peeing in downtown and smoking Hashish and arguile , they are the killers of hariri no one else than them did it and their behaviour prove it and Ayatollah Ali Khameini order the Killing of the man who has Saudi behind him in Lebanon to make way for Nasrallah to rule, but I assure you Nasrallah head will be served on a silver plate !!!!!

        Hold on don’t jump the gun. Explain something to me. In regards to the issue of pleasure marriages, why did Solomon have 700 wives and 300 concubines?

        1 Kings 11-3

        1. remember moslem and jews come from same father but different mother, and moslem religion is almost a cop of the Jewish in many aspects .King Salomon has a great influence on the Moslem religion , many of their so called esoterism side of the moslem relgion is based on King Salomon , as the Moslem believe that Salomon had the capabilities to order spirits or “el Jin”

        3. am not here to really discuss religion , just from politcal point we cant have a party that think God is fighting and woking with them rule Lebanon Lebanon will cease to exist , I could care less if pleasure mariage or not , from econmical side bringin 10 kids or 18 is really a big issue if you are in USA or Europe so immagine in a small country like Lebanon. Once Hizbollah rule it will not matter anymore. There is no way the Christian and the Sunni such dictatorship and religious MUllah state ,that is not Iran,Not in this century, Nasrallah is hallucinating , go the Lebanese mountains and especially the north and see how the Christian monks made caves in the mountains and lived thee and flatenned the hills and planted them to avoid the opression , there is no way that we will allow the force of darkness to rule us, between death and Nasrallah we welcome death . Lebanon exist by no one imposing its religion on the other , Nasrallah as you see wipe his ass everyday with the cosntitution or he use it when it suit him to topple the governement,he’s waiting to declare Wilayat al fakih and Hopefully we will manage to Fakih out to Iran ASAP

        4. Because he was a horny bastard. There is nothing in those books that tells you the truth Nagdella. It defies logic and it defies science both of which are championed by God. All those religious books are just that, pure myth. Besides, I had one wife and she drove me up the wall, so never mind two, and certainly not 700. No wonder Solomon was crazy. They drove him to drink. LOL

  5. Well Hannibal another great achievement of the Phoenicians is stripping the mountains of their trees mainly the Cedars and exporting it, I believe if you visited Lebanon lately you could see that we mainly killed all remaining green forest ,we are the true descendant no doubt!!!

    1. Well Guss, I tested my DNA a while ago and as I suspected from my looks (Blue eyes and fair skin) I am an R2b European descendent and I was not a J2 Phoenician. I wonder what will yours be. If you are in the Americas you can go to National Geographic website and order a kit and have your DNA tested. I will be LMFAO if you turn to be a J2 Phoenician or more abominably a J1 Arab. LOL

      1. Well there is 4 major races, namely white/Caucasian, Mongoloid/Asian, Negroid/Black, and Australoid.l tit seems yourself you are confused also like many in the western world, there is no such race called Arab , Arab is a language not a race , you could listed under Ethnic group but that also is questionable. The Arabs belong to the Caucasian race also ( some mixed with Black in Africa eg.. Egypt Saudis,lebanese , but the middle east in general is a Caucasian race, so you can;’t say you are from Europe because you are Caucasian as much as Bashar el Assad and Nasrallah to your info only. The race issue is out of question here , because by the end the Amazon were more civilized than the German who put in the oven millions of Slavic ,Jews and Gypsies ,civilized is the human behavior , civilized means you don’t kill someone who mocked your religion , or offended your Zaim ,it is big word and so far it is beyond the apprehension of the middle east region people, who think civilized means cutting trees to put building everywhere, polluting streets , and drive like hamaj with no respect to human life, and wearing Black Clothes and going in the street terrorizing schools !!!

        1. Who is talking race? You have issues dude… I am speaking pure DNA haplotypes to determine ancestry Mr. Know it all Guss. Why do you have to turn everything to politics and use every line to attack Assad, Nasrallah, Aoun or whomsoever? Can you discuss a topic without referring to the politician @ssholes? I never said the Middle Eastern is not a caucasian. I said there are haplotypes to determine your ancestry. Now you know genetics and history and politics and God knows what else. A typical Lebanese know it all… lol … Then I will probably find you at a gaz station pumping gaz somewhere. Even in the West people drive like hamaj. So stop insulting right and left and know that the Law and governance is what creates civilized people NOT the other way around and the Lebanese will behave when they have both.

      3. I am really interested where in the west they drive like hamj or Lebanon, specify a western country for me ?could you = 1 to lebanon where you can have 1 glasses of Arak and take the wheel, I was there this summer when 2 beautiful girls got killed on the red light by a SOB drunk , where please,? in germany the tolerance for Alcohol if you are driving is 0?
        In the US is 0.8 ,specify for me

      4. i MEANT 10 GLASSES OF ARAK
