Shiite Cleric Charged with Spying for Israel

Share:

Lebanese military Judge Saqr Saqr charged Sheikh Mohammed Ali Ismail al-Husseini with spying for Israel on Wednesday.

The army intelligence detained al-Husseini last week after suspecting that he had collaborated with the Israeli Mossad. He is a prominent Shiite cleric who is also the secretary-general of the Arabic-Islamic Council.

Saqr issued the charges under article 278 of the penal code which stipulates hard labor from three to ten years and article 72 for carrying weapons.

The judge referred al-Husseini to the first military examining magistrate.

    Could this be an internal rivalry? I find it had to believe a senior Shiite cleric would spy for the Mossad.

      When the legendary Israeli spy Eli Cohen was caught by the Syrian authorities in the 60’s, he was third in line to be president of Syria. Don’t underestimate the Mossad. For every spy that Lebanon catches, think of how many aren’t caught.

      And just think how wonderful if Eli Cohen had made it to the top. He would have established peace with Israel. No 1967 war. No 1973 War. Probably no Lebanon conflict. So many needless deaths on both sides would have been preevented. Oh well. Maybe next time.

        How could a nation be proud of a Syrian Jewish President spying for another nation? This is like a shiite in Israel lined up to be president of Israel yet his allegiance is to Iran (oh wait! My bad… Israel president has to be Jewish… It is after all a democracy).

          Lebanon is the only country I know where the president has to belong to one religion.

          @eblashko:disqus  and I am against that totally but how about you will you be OK with a non-jewish president in Israel?

          Well. 80% of the population are Jews, so odds are, even though by law anyone can be president, the president will be a Jew. It’s like saying all of America’s presidents have been Christian because 98% of the population is Christian. It’s not undemocratic. It’s just a numbers game.

          Religiously though, especially in the early days of the state, although they were Jews, most of the Israeli prime ministers and presidents were actually atheists.

          But Arabs and Druze have occupied other ministerial posts. One of my favorite Israeli politicians today is a Druzi named Ayoob Kara. I think he should be our next foreign minister. It would do Israel a lot of good in the world to have an Arabic-speaking foreign minister. His policies, by the way, are more Zionist and right wing than those of the majority of Israeli Jews. But he’s honest, patriotic, and cares for the country I live in, so I like him, regardless of his ethnicity or race. I imagine most Israelis would agree with me, which is why he’s risen so high in the government.

          @eblashko:disqus – right wing? Yuck. You are right about Lebanon and its a shame. By the way, Bashir Gemayel wanted peace at the expense of all the Muslims.  He said that Lebanon is a Christian country, and he wanted to keep the law of Christian Maronite president only.. I think everyone wants peace, but they have to sort out their internal problems first.  hezbollah fires rockets yes, but at the expense of laser guided missiles that killed 3% of the population in 6 weeks in July 2006.  over 1000 in 6 weeks? That’s insane.  Peace will always be what people want, but you have to keep in mind that peace won’t be achieved by just dropping things..leaving the borders the way they are.  Oslo accords dont mean anything because 60% of the West Bank is Iraeli settlements now, and that apartheid wall and those checkpoints blocking everyone from their path.  I dont think there is anyone who wants to live in constant war. My argument doesn’t compel you or a few others on here, but if Israel really give itself a good name, it should be the better actor in this conflict, because its supposedly democratic and more progressive than West Bank and Gaza.  I also think there would be more chance for peace if Israel adhered to Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and International Law. That makes a HUGE difference.

        3rd in line to be president in Syria 1960 means if he had survived to until 1963 when Amine Hafiz and the bath took over he would have been killed. Hafiz assad is not the first bathist President Amine Hafiz is and Assad who helped him get to power was still a major in the Air Force at the time.

          If I remember correctly, the story goes that they provoked Syrian soldiers occupying the Israeli DMZs of Hamat Gader and Ein Gev between 1948 and 1967. That was land that had been part of the British Mandate of Palestine, had been inhabited by Jews until the Independence War, and was occupied by Syrians until 1967.

          I guess the proof is that Israel wasn’t looking for trouble can be most easily seen in two cases. First, in Lebanon, Lebanon didn’t enter the Six-Day War, and as a result, there was no fighting and no Lebanese land captured. I imagine Syria would have had the same fate if she had been so wise. Second, in Egypt, if power and land was really the Israeli objective, as opposed to peace, then we would not have given back the Sinai to Egypt, which was 4x larger than Israel proper and has oil. But a land grab was never the objective. It’s always been peace. Sadat, Mubarak, King Hussein, King Abdullah, and Bashir Gamayel were certainly no Mossad spies, but thankfully, they felt the same way.

      Why is it so unbelievable? Maybe he realized that friendship with Israel wouldn’t be so bad. Or maybe he saw it as a means to the end of freeing your country of Iranian and Syrian intervention. In either case, he’s not the only one. There have been dozens of high level spies caught so far, and probably many more who haven’t been caught. I guess many Lebanese have figured out that fighting with Israel has brought them nothing but harm and that peace with Israel can bring so much benefit.

        Friendship with Israel CANNOT be realized via spying. I wonder what would you say about Lebanon if we extend our hand to you in peace yet we have spies sent to Israel at the same time. AND to nip it before you give me the runaround that if we were friends you would not spy on us I’d say you are allies and friends with the U.S. and yet your agents are all over the place in the states and you know it.

          Spying is a two-way street, man. The Shiite was spying for Israel. He felt, morally, or for whatever reason, that it was the right thing to do.

          And to be fair, Israel spies on Lebanon, (or, more properly, Lebanese citizens spy on Hezbollah for Israel) so that Israel can properly defend itself from Hezbollah rocket arsenal, which is larger than the arsenal of most countries. From the many reports of spies caught in Lebanon, it would seem there are far more spies and a much more sophisticated spy network in Lebanon, than, say, Jordan or Egypt… I wonder why… and as far as spies in friendly countries, every country has spies everywhere.

          I think if you’re angry, then  the people to be angry with aren’t on my side of the border. They’re on yours. And by the sheer number of them, and the prominent positions they occupy, perhaps they have a genuine concern that would be worth addressing.

          And if you want to talk about spying in Lebanon, then Iran has much more spies in Lebanon than we do. Every member of Hezbollah is loyal to Iran. You think Iran doesn’t know the happenings of every inch of your country??? I’d feel violated if I were you. Much more from Hezbollah than to some brave Shiite cleric spying for Israel who wants to rid his country of Iranian influence, and, unlike Hezbollah, can tell the difference between being a loyal to the ayatollahs and loyal to the Lebanese.

          I’m a young guy. My father fought in Lebanon in 1982. He was in tanks. Many of his friends died there. He’s not a sensitive man, but he started crying like a baby when we watched Waltz with Bashir, probably recalling all the needless death (on both sides). That’s the case with most of his generation. That’s probably why 3 of Israels last 3 Oscar entries have been films about Lebanon (Beaufort, Waltz with Bashir, Lebanon).

          I am part of a new Israeli generation. have never been to Lebanon. The occupation ended far before my formative years. You say water was pumped. I don’t know if that’s true or not. But it certainly wasn’t pumped by me or my peers. By the poor people who protected Israel’s borders, I assume you mean the SLA. I hear that we did treat them badly. But the world is a very different place 25 years ago than it is today. Attrocities were committed between us and Egypt and Jordan, but we made a successful peace that has been beneficial for both sides. Remember, you don’t make peace with your friends, you make peace with your enemies.

    Oh baby Hypocrisy at its finest, I thought Israel was the “Evil Zionist Pigs” to the Shi’ites and then you see this guy. 
    Next time you’ll see Nasrallah doing the same thing.

    i would like to say thank God we still have security intelligance competent enough to catch israeli spies in lebanon.

    well it looks like HA couldn’t protect him anymore and so he was trialed.

    isn’t funny that only those who are with “resistance” have israeli spies on their sides?

    This is the funniest news I have read since a long time. Next time may be they’ll catch Hassan Nasrallah spying for Israel. What a joke….I guess money makes people do lots of weired things, even betray their own…like Judas. Sorry, Eblashko, as much as I am for a peace treaty with Israel, I would never accept any Lebanese to spy on its own country, even on HA (after all HA are Lebanese), for the sake of any other country in the world. Israel must really be obsessed with HA to pay for all these spies  (and others that have not been caught yet) to collect information. Again we need BOLD FREE politicians to work on a peace treaty with Israel, and consequently there won’t be any need for HA and the resistance and all the spying from Israel.
    Anyhow very funny story…
    GOOD LUCK Mawlana, because in jail you are risking of becoming gay so much the other prisoners are going to F*** you. I heard it has become very very crowded in the Lebanese prisons, so every move you’ll make you’ll probably get F***ed….Oh God this is too funny….I’ve never been that blunt on this site….but I am posting it anyways……

      You’d be obsessed too with an organization who wants to erase you who has more missiles than most world armies.

      And I seriously doubt he did it just for money. As I told Kareem above, spying for Israel is very risky, and there are easier, and safer ways for a Lebanese guy to make some money. Plus he was pretty high up.

      But you’re absolutely right. “Again we need BOLD FREE politicians to work on a peace treaty with
      Israel, and consequently there won’t be any need for HA and the
      resistance and all the spying from Israel.”

        “Has more missiles than most world armies!!!!??”, my God you really believe this? If they have half the missiles of the Lebanese army, I would be surprised. It is all PROPAGANDA and apparently it is working. I really don’t envy the Israelis at all, you live in constant fear and obsession of being pushed into the sea. Only someone who did something wrong lives in constant fear, I wish upon you peace, especially peace of heart. Yes I wish peace with Israel, but with someone like Netanyahu, I don’t see any peace in this man. He reflects hate, agreassion, and occupation of land by force. In the mean time I see that the marketing plan of HA is working with the Israelis. Terror terrorizing terror. As I said before peace has to start in the hearts and minds of the people, neither HA nor Netanyahu have peace in their hearts to reflect it on the ground. Salamat!

          I think they have something like 30-40,000 Katyusha grad rockets. I don’t think it’s propaganda. And I fail to understand your logic as to why someone who lives in fear must be someone who’s done something wrong. I live in fear and I’ve done nothing wrong. Could you explain? A woman who’s husband is a drunk and who beats her did nothing wrong, yet she lives in fear.

          Well I guess it’s possible. But according to Pink Floyd’s album “Animals”, there are no good people in the world and we’re all divided into either glutinous pigs, ruthless dogs, or mindless sheep. I don’t like to base my world outlook on such a pessimistic band. As naive as it may be, I believe there’s good in the world (but I do like their music, despite this and despite their anti-Zionism).

          I don’t know a lot about this guy, but spying for Israel, as rewarding monetarily as it may be, carries incredible risks, as he’ll certainly fry for this, and Israel won’t be able to help him out when he’s caught. Maybe a poor, desperate South Lebanese farmer or something might do it for money, but I don’t think someone so high up in the army would have done it just for money. There are much easier and less risky ways to make it. But Hezbollah is not well-liked by all Lebanese. If not for Israel, then perhaps just against them. OR perhaps it was an internal Shiite power thing. Who knows. But I seriously doubt it was for money.

          @eblashko:disqus – Anti-Zionism is like anti-Pan Arabism or anti-communism..just different political views and not targetting a religion..so I can understand why someone may support an ideology or not.  They don’t agree with the politics..   The only reason people support Hezbollah is because of Israel’s atrocities.  A good chunk of them have the religious ties, but most of them are very secular people in their lifestyles..but when their brotheres, sons, fathers..etc are taken as prisoners and aren’t heard from, returned..etc they don’t like Israel anymore..when their building collapses and their daughter and mother die, it doesn’t help..especially when Hezbollah aren’t being affected much..and you can say civilian human shields, but they won’t just say “sure , stand by our building..set up your rockets and fire from there” .. it’s not like they’re snipers firing across Lebanon into Israel..it’s very noticable.. and of cousre Hezbollah is an unorganized army/terrorist group..so the burden is on Israel for being a proper state..and honestly, if Israel took out Hezbollah (with its advanced military and “moral” conduct that it champions) I wouldn’t really have minded..

    While military intelligence rounding up those spying for Israel, can you PLEASE also round up, arrest, convict and deport all those spying for Syria and Iran in Lebanon. We all know, that many members of Hezbollah are on the payroll from these two corrupt regimes and need to be also arrested. Trust me, the damage the Israeli spies do to Lebanon, is nothing in comparison to the damages the spies/traitors do from Syria and Iran.The Lebanese Military Intelligence need to focus more on catching Syrian and Iranian spies in Lebanon. It is absolutely important to the security of Lebanon.

    HA accuses anyone thats not willing to bow down to Iran as being an Israeli spy and the weird thing is that almost all the spies that have been found in Lebaon were HA members and FMP members. I thought the Kataib, LF, Future were the spies????

    1. I hate it when so called leaders want people to take sides, there narrow minds of thinking don’t harbor the capacity for other options, solutions and reasons…
      HA thinks that everyone who opposes them or their ideas is an Israely spy or collaborating with the Americans to topple them, their allies or Ideaology..
      George W. Bush, in an address to a joint session of Congress on September 20, 2001 said, “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists”….
      Makes you wonder where HA gets its Ideaology from….apparently they oppose each other.

  26. Just because this guy pretended to be shia, doesnt mean he is… Only a fool would think such. He is a fake like all israeli spies are… THEY ARE SPIES THAT PRETEND TO BE PEOPLE THEY ARN’T, isn’t that obvious???

    israel is not a legal state, the amount of crimes committed by them is absurd. Hopefully at the least, there will be an end to all this illegal settlement in Palestine. Unfortunately with disgusting people like netanyahu there will never be peace. The only way now is to get rid of that man and END and retake the illegal settlement.
