No to Camp David, Yes to Arab Security and Unity

Hundreds of people of different ages and sects rallied to the Suburbs of Beirut to attend a Festival that was organized by different political and national groups. It was set at the Ghobeiry square and held to support the Egyptian revolution against the Husni Mubarak corrupt regime. The Tunisian revolution had its share as well, as there was a salute to the Tunisian people who led the Jasmine revolution also against their corrupt regime.

It was attended by various politicians and religious figures from different Lebanese and Palestinian parties. Different Arab figures were there as well.

The people along with the political figures attended the event in solidarity with the Arab Egyptian revolutionary road, which aims at annulling the Camp David treaty; the treaty that betrayed the national cause of the Palestinians and held a conspiracy on the resistance in the interest of the Zionist enemy.

Egypt Speaks Arabic

Head of the Free Patriotic Movement Michel Aoun was the first to give a speech. He started by saying that the relationship between the politicians is based on interests. As for the relationship between the people, it is based on complete humanitarian morals.

"The sympathy we are witnessing towards the Egyptians doesn't shock us, the revolution of spreading fortunes rather than stealing them (Egyptians) has started."

As for Former Minister Abdulrahim Murad, he said that the oppressors of the Egyptian regime polluted the history of Egypt, noting that the dictators of Egypt through the Camp David treaty turned Egypt from a Leading country to a follower.

Head of the Naserite Popular Movement, Former MP Ousama Saad stressed that the path America has drawn for our countries has fell thanks to the people. He further added "Lebanon is the land of resistance that stood ahead of aggression and that was the beginning of this revolution."

Head of the Syrian Social Nationalist party, Lebanese MP, Assaad Hardan noted that Cairo refuses to be oppressed, "The revolution will never be burned up. While America and the "Israelis" are concerned about their precious treasures, the Egyptians are concerned about keeping Egypt on the right path."

The Secretary General of the Islamic Unification Movement Sheikh Bilal Shaaban stood on stage with deep rage and said, "All the victories we are seeing now, and all the revolutions in the Arab world are the product of the Resistance.

The change we are witnessing is due to the grace and will of the Resistance."

Military General, Head of the Republican Guard Brigade Mustafa Hamdan noted that the Egyptian people decided to stand tall after standing on their knees ahead of a Pharaoh. He added, "The Egyptians showed the world that they are able to challenge the toughest times and struggle for freedom."

Wiam Wahhab, head of the Tawhid party, on his turn said, "The Arabs' shouts of freedom will bring us back our bright future. I call upon the Egyptians to continue their sacred path in order to bring down the Camp David treaty.

As for Zahir El Khatib, the Secretary General of the Association of Workers, he stressed on the importance of the path of resistance embraced by Syria, Iran and Turkey and now Egypt. He added, "The revolution in Egypt now is a repercussion to the Lebanon 2006 July war."

He ended by calling out to the Americans, "The challenges between us will never be solved with negotiations nor with betrayals and surrenders but with struggle, Jihad and Resistance." He noted that what is taken by force will be gained by force!

People revolt - No to Camp David

Lamya, a Tunisian woman, was standing there with tears in her eyes, she said: " I'm so proud today because Tunisia my beloved country was the reason behind the revolution in Egypt. The Egyptians were silent for 30 years. They were afraid to utter a word against oppression. Thanks to the Tunisian martyrs who poured their blood to free their land from its devilish president, Egypt gained the strength to stand against the tyranny of its regime."

Jad a 23 year old interrupted by adding, "May God bless Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah! His wisdom and rage brought these countries to this day. If it wasn't for him we would have turned into slaves for the Americans and "Israelis"."

Meanwhile Ali the 17 year old was shouting out "Husni Mubarak is a Devil" expressed how sad he feels for not being there for the Egyptians.

As for Maya the 24 year old college student, she held the Hizbullah flag and said, "The feeling I have within me reminds me of what I felt the moment the South was liberated in year 2000. I am so sure that the Middle East will witness such a victory very soon! What we are seeing now in Egypt is a scanned picture that was seen in Lebanon during the occupation! For the perseverance and will of our people was the key to freedom."

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was the last to give a speech, via video link as usual. He announced his support to the Egyptian people adding his total pride towards the Youth in Egypt who are the most powerful participants in the process.

This rally is only one of the rallies taking place in the vast world to declare support to the Egyptian people who have finally decided to declare rejection to oppression and corruption, and demand their rights be fulfilled.
