MP Tabbara: We demand a neutral cabinet

Share:

MP Mohammad Tabbara responded to Progressive Socialist party leader MP Walid Jumblatt by saying:” Kamal Jumblatt was also the martyr of Lebanon but also was the martyr of the Druze community”, adding : “We demand a neutral cabinet that represents all the Lebanese people”..

Kamal Jumblatt, father of the PSP leader was assassinated in March 1977. As in the case of Internal Security Forces intelligence chief Wissam al-Hassan, who was assassinated last Friday, Syria was accused of being behind his murder.

In an interview on LBC TV Thursday evening Jumblatt said that in order to avoid a political vacuum in Lebanon his ministers will not quit from the current government .

Jumblatt also criticized the attempt by March 14 supporters to break into the Grand Serail on Sunday following Hassan’s funeral and called it a “mistake,” and expressed regret that the funeral took on a sectarian dimension.

“He was working for the interest of Lebanon’s security. It was wrong to give the funeral a sectarian dimension.” Jumblatt   said

“The biggest mistake was in considering Hassan as the martyr of the Sunnis. He is the martyr of Lebanon as a whole,” jumblatt added.

    Jumblatt is right on that one. “He is the martyr of Lebanon as a whole.” 
    (Again, from the Greek ‘Martur’ meaning ‘witness’.)
    But …..
    Who gives any of these things that ‘sectarian’ dimension? There were people of all sects there. Only a few young badly-educated hot-heads ran to attack the Serail … and smaller packs of the usual idiots in other places like Tripoli had to ‘make waves’ of course. Considering the neighbourhood it happened in there were more Christian witnesses.
    Could it be something to do with the way ‘news’ is reported??
    There is no ‘political vacuum’. There’s too damn much of the politics.
