Will we see an end to Zionist plots in Lebanon?

Beirut,

As usual in Lebanese politics an issue is chosen and then the politicians run amuck with it. This doesn’t mean it is not important most of the time it is but there is so much back and forth discussions between the numerous political parties (their number quite remarkable for a small country) for months and years sometimes it is hard to keep up with all the details.

Yet, when foreign parties start to be part of these discussions one has to pay more attention (Lebanon’s history has always been marred with foreign interventions).

One has to ask witnessing this are these parties interested in the well-being of the Lebanese more than the people of the country itself? Are these parties real supporters of justice? Are they role-models in applying the rule of law? Can’t they sleep until they find the ones responsible for assisinating former PM Rafiq al Hariri?

Yes, from the events regarding the court and investigation of this assassination (STL) it seems these parties care very much about the Lebanese to the degree that nothing would stop them from reaching as they claim truth and justice. Shall we take a look at those “just” bearers? 

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

The US secretary of state also pointed out that “intimidation or threats” from Hezbollah should not be tolerated.

Egyptian FM Ahmed Abul Gheit

“No one can reject the Special tribunal for Lebanon” investigating in the 2005 assassination of former Premier Rafiq Hariri, threatening the international community “will confront those seeking to use the STL in order to destabilize Lebanon.”…
“Egypt does not aim to increase its interests in Lebanon, but we see it as an important country in the Middle East and our leaders have called for leaving it alone, this is still Egypt’s motto and we are committed to it,”

Foreign Secretary William Hague

Foreign Secretary William Hague urged other nations to support the court, saying justice “is the only way to ensure long term stability” in Lebanon.

If you haven’t laughed yet at the irony of ever having the word just in relation to any of the countries these people represent then please do now.

The Lebanese are so lucky that they have such “friends” to share “donations” to keep the STL going because it seems the Lebanese are moving towards not paying for it. “Justice” comes only from the US which supplies the Israelis with weapons to kill the Lebanese, Britain which passes them on to the Israelis (like in 2006), and  Egypt who at any opportunity stands with the Israelis and their crimes.

Another funny tidbit, I was watching on the news the other day the STL has reporters in Hague parading the grandiose facilities there. Yesterday, they toured the prisons where they will put the accused people. Hey, those places look so nice with computers, tvs and a good hospital who could refuse?! Maybe they will be able to convince some members of Hezbollah to stay there for there is continuous electricity (which is mostly cut off in the southern suburbs of Beirut) because that is the only way they might get one over there.

 The mockery is too much to bear sometimes, believe me all the Lebanese ask is to be left alone but I doubt that will happen any time soon.
