Civil war fears grip Lebanon

Posted by Matt in May 8th, 2008

Thursday’s gun battles broke out only minutes after the Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, appeared on TV to accuse the Lebanese government of declaring war on his movement, whose raison d’etre is to resist Israel.

He said the only way out of the current crisis was for the government to rescind the decisions it took on Monday aimed at curbing Hezbollah.

The government has so far refused to do that but the Sunni leader, Saad Hariri, said that Hezbollah’s reaction was based on a “big misunderstanding”, and he offered direct talks to resolve the situation.

Lebanon Civil War (1975 - 1990)
This video shows u Lebanon b4 the civil war and during the civil war .... i hope that these unforgettable and cold blooded history where the lebanese betrayed their country, themselves, their families, and God's commands to mankind could be a wake up call for the lebanese nowadays, for them not to fall in the same mistake again....so spare a though for the generation that preceded you, and tasted the real taste of war. "You have your Lebanon and I have mine. You have your Lebanon with her problems, and I have my Lebanon with her beauty. You have your Lebanon with all her prejudices and struggles, and I have my Lebanon with all her dreams and securities. Your Lebanon is a political knot, a national dilemma, a place of conflict and deception. My Lebanon, is a place of beauty and dreams...

Lebanon before 1975 civil war [Part B]
In the future,history will record that one of the most destructive and stupid wars since the dawn of civilization was our civil war [1975-1990].All sides did not win anything or achieve any goal.All of us were losers.The war ended abruptly as it started,but after 15 years .The same ailments in the Lebanese society that led to the silly war are still present,they are even much more prominant..We destroyed our country in a meaningless silly war for the sake of hollow ideologies or better still,for mere nothing.Our lives were ruined .I will present here more photos of my country before we decided to destroy it in 1975.Most of these photos were originally posted by [Kheireddine] on http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=408084 The accompaning music is the song of Sabah [yeslam lena...

Lebanon before 1975 civil war - part 1 - حرب أهلية لبنانية
The year 1971 was one of the most prosperous and happy years in Lebanon.At that year in particular,political calm and stability was prevailent in Lebanon,many tourists came to visit the country in that year.Numerous cultural events took place .Many plays,operettes and songs,performed by famous artists were mostly produced in 1971 ,Perhaps ,the most remarkable event in that year,was the election of Miss Lebanon ,Georgina Rizk as Miss Universe for 1971. I scanned here ,some photos from old magazines dating from 1971 .My aim is to give a quick glimpse to newer generations about our country before the 1975 war. Lebanon was beautiful,prosperous and peaceful at that time.The conclusion that must be deduced is a simple fact or reality . Lebanon is a small country,not programmed at all [software...

Lebanon before 1975 civil war - part 2 - حرب أهلية لبنانية
Before the 1975 war. Lebanon was beautiful, prosperous ,democratic,constitutional and peaceful. I will show you here a glimpse of the once beautiful and prosperous Lebanon that was before 1975,and how did we demolish it by our own hands in 1975.In my opinion,we demolished Lebanon because we tried to install in Lebanon,either extremist fascist ideas or imported incompatible ideologies from nearby countries [Political Maronism,Nasserism,Pan Arabism,Pan Islamist ideologies,etc.]. These ideologies brought with them much havoc to Lebanon for one simple reason: Lebanon is a small country,not programmed at all [software and hardware IF WE USE COMPUTER LANGUAGE] to be in the front line or participate in any struggles in the region [even if the cause of the struggle was ,noble, just, fair, and a...

Civil War in Lebanon لبنان News Anchor slams Hezbollah
The only woman who comes to mind while watching this video of Lebanese TV presenter Sahar Al-Khatib is Wafa Sultan. I have never seen any other woman in the Arab world with the poise and the you-know-what to put the terrorists in their place. In this clip, which was shown (apparently live) on Lebanon's LBC TV on May 9 (this past Friday) Al-Khatib blasts Lebanon's opposition leaders (Hezbullah and Amal) following the shutting down of the pro-government Future TV by the supposedly neutral Lebanese army and Hezbullah. If this woman is willing to talk to Israelis (unlike the crying fool who is Lebanon's Prime Minister), I'll bet we could find her work with a much more open media here in Israel. I'd go to bat for her.

Lebanon before 1975 civil war - part 3 - حرب أهلية لبنانية
In part [3] of [Lebanon before 1975 ], I show you an additional glimpse of the once beautiful,constitutional,democratic,free and prosperous Lebanon that was before 1975,and how did we demolish it by our own hands starting from February 1975 [the assassination of the Sidon politician Maarouf Saad ],then culminating in 13 April of the same year [the Ayn El Rummane bus ] .The April event sparkled a meaningless civil war that damaged our country for about 17 years.Now, in the year 2008 ,it is your choice my fellow citizens,do you want to live in a beautiful, prosperous ,free,democratic and constitutional country where all religious groups are equal and feel at home [ as was before 1975 ],or you prefer instead, a failed lawless state producing hollow ideologies,terrorism,vocal politicians...

Civil War in Lebanon Hezbollah Shuts Down Pro Government TV
There is officially a war on in Lebanon. At least eleven people have been killed in fighting today as Hezbullah and its allies in Amal have gained control of some neighborhoods in Beirut. Among other things, Hezbullah and its allies have succeeded in shutting down the pro-government Future TV network. Let's go to the videotape to see that, and then I will have more. Beirut Spring has some pictures taken at the ransacked Future TV offices, which offer proof that it's Syria and Iran that are behind what's going on in Beirut today. The areas that the Shiites control are in the Muslim sectors of Beirut. Here are more details. Shi'ite opposition gunmen seized control of large areas of Beirut's Muslim sector from Sunni foes loyal to the US-backed government on Friday, in street battles that...

Lebanon before 1975 civil war - part 4 - حرب أهلية لبنانية
Lebanon is a small multi religious and multi cultural country,not programmed at all to be in the front line or participate in any struggles in the region [even if the cause of the struggle was ,noble, just, fair, and a religious duty ].The role of Lebanon in the region should only be a cultural role. This is a reality [whether we like it or not ],we must be brave enough to accept this fact .Lebanon is not programmed at all [software and hardware if we use computer language] to face other powers militarily [and cannot do so in the future due to various reasons ],so ,Lebanon must be a strictly neutral country on the Swiss model.Stop importing incompatible ideologies from neibouring countries in the region.These ideologies may be ideal or even great ones if applied in other countries,but not...
