MP Gemayel Hints Hizbullah Hiding 4 Suspects, Slams Party’s Arms and Ideology
MP Sami Gemayel hinted on Thursday that Hizbullah is aware of the whereabouts of the four suspects in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination case but is not helping Lebanese authorities in finding them.
In a press conference he held at the Phalange party headquarters in Saifi, Gemayel said: “Hizbullah said that the TIME magazine interview didn’t take place meaning it called the suspects and asked if they gave the interview.”
“This means that it knows their whereabouts and is not helping (authorities) in their arrest,” he added.
The lawmaker was referring to a TIME interview with one of the four suspects in which the unidentified man told his interviewer that the Lebanese authorities knew where he lived but could not arrest him.
Gemayel said that Hizbullah either doesn’t know if the suspects are culprits and is hiding them or knows that they are involved in Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination and has decided to hide them.
Such acts are punishable by law, he added.
Gemayel accused Hizbullah of “adopting the same approach of the Syrian occupation” and establishing a state competitive to the authority of the Lebanese state.
The Shiite party is working on establishing a religious state, he said. “It is adopting the (Israeli) settlement policy by infringing on public property,” Gemayel said in reference to construction on church property in the predominantly Shiite town of Lassa in Jbeil district.
Hizbullah is acting in Lebanon the same way the Zionists acted, he said.
“We don’t approve your project, the presence of your arms and your ideology,” he told Hizbullah. “However, we don’t accept but to build the state with you and with everyone else but not through the use of force and coercion.”
He vowed not to remain silent, saying the Phalange “will continue the search for the truth.”
Lebanon has second class citizens that abide by the law, while first class citizens do not implement it, he said in reference to Hizbullah and the rest of the population.
Lebanon would be stable only when the first class citizens unite with the others and transform a single class, he added.

What a stupid comment. If someone should go to the Netherlands, it is the people who colluded with the Zionists since 1975. Tall Zaatar, Sabra & Chatila, Black Sunday are all the handicrafts of the 75-years old party. But then MP Gemayel was still suckling at that time so no one told him the truth.

At least he spoke the truth in the heart and the mind of every single Lebanese, except the Syrian and Palestinian who were shutled in buses to support Hezbolshaitan in each event they organized, enable to lie about how popular they are.

This kid is trying to stay relevant when nation building is the work of men, something he knows nothing about.
It wouldn't surprise me if the criminals of march14 and their americana nd israeli backers have him killed to try to pin it on Hezbollah like they have tried to do in the past.

Who does he thinks he is he and his criminal part stood in the way of the wonderful project supported by the great patriotic revolutionary parties land their Somali, Sudanese and Libyan mercenaries and the the Palestinian Resistance army financed by magnificent leaders like Qaddafi.
Think about how wonderful it would have been without his criminal party we would all be living in the pro-Resistance moumana3a progressive prosperous country of Noe-Palestine with it's capital Jounieh (so close to Jerusalem we can launch suicide missions from there, right).

Sami is shooting his mouth off to counter his cousin, Potato Nadim, like two competing hippos in mating season. What a pathetic state the Kataeb has reached, from being the most populous party to a party of three, i.e. Amin, Sami and Nadim. If they continue like that, they will shrink to only two, with Nadim joining Dr. Criminal's thugs, the Lebanese Fartses.

These guys can give as many press conferences as they want. Geagea did yesterday and I am sure someone else tomorrow with regard to the high handed way that Hezbollah is running the country, but exposure of the problem is no cure. Everyone knows the information that is being "exposed". This is the problem now that there are no veils, no covers over the Hezbollah project.
Hezbollah could care less about Mr. Gemayel, Mr. Geagea or Mr. Hariri. It could care less about the United Nations! It will take more, gentlemen to uproot what Aoun has planted in Lebanon. Look to Libya. Independence from autocratic despots, theocrats or lunatics is not won by having street parties. The autocrat does not surrender power when exposed or embarassed by the truth, but only by force of arms. Libya would not be on the cusp of freedom but for the fact that Gadaffi dared them to fight for it and they took up his dare.
Hezbollah now dares the Lebanese and are betting on more speeches, not action.

I was never a big fan of Kataeb or LF, but this kid (as you are calling him) is talking common sense. All he said is Hizballah is hiding the 4 suspects and HA is not denying that; he doesn't agree with weapons outside the government institutions and the true majority of Lebanese agree with that! So, he is becoming relevant... I still wouldn't go along with their party right wing policies and the idea of westernizing our country.... You can easily conclude that I am neither M8 nor M14!

Hes 10000000000000% correct. The point about the time magazine interview is spot on, and his comparison of the Zionist settlement agenda is great.

We love you Sheikh Sami!!

@Jabal Ahbal, as usual, your comments are filled with hate and no common sense, maybe you forgot and i mentionned it in other posts who sparked the civil war, the CAIRO accord did, by allowing the palestinians to have their camps in Lebanon and defy Lebanese authority, then your friends the syria VIA the PFLP ( which is purely syrian created ) managed to spark conflict with christians and start with DAMOUR, and many security situation before that that were intolerable, but maybe your parents didnt tell you, they were too busy walking with your goats in the south, hadnt been for the Kataeb and Lebanese forces of before 82, you chiites would have still been raped and murdered by the PLO in the south, Moussa Sadr was sending secretly to Bachir weapons, and was turning against the PLO because he saw no good deeds out of them, this is why he disappeared and was killed.
over 12 years
You think if Moussa Sadr was alive Hezbollah and Amal would welcome him with open arms? you are dreaming my friend, they would kill him again or force him to exile , secretly, because this guy did mistakes but woke up to be a real nationalist at the end, and unfortunately he was killed for that by Libya who supported the PLO. shit happens in wars , well sometimes you need courageaous but bad men to do the jobs, yes we had Zo3rans like every militia in all wars, but they did the job and most of the militia men were good, so do not take it as a whole and bachir never hid 1211 levels underground, he was at the heart of the combat for 15 years, and Sami is following his footsteps, the Gemayel are worth 1212 times your Hassouné, a bigt fat rat that his played like a puppet and that is stupid enough to admit he is infested by spies and not even give us a feedback on how he manage to erase them, Wow thank you for this wonderful resistance...

I agree with Sheikh Sami and I feel sorry for the M8 supporters who grasp at straws and hide behind their fingers when it comes to the STL. Ya ammi even if the STL provides 1000 % uncontestable proof, they will create, imagine or lie so they don't have to SEE the truth .... they will only believe what their masters tells them to...M8 is truly against individual thinking and they extremely resent independent thinking..ya haram they fear their own shadows without the comfort of a CRAZY general and little Hitler Nisrala. Don’t you see how when cornered they resort to personal insults and takhween..the weapons of the weak. How pathetic they really are...

"we don’t accept but to build the state with you and with everyone else... Lebanon would be stable only when the first class citizens unite with the others." Shiek Sami, i agree. i have always thought you a reasonable patriot.
we cannot unite when there is one side that constantly insights sectarian hatred. we might be able to disagree politically, but without being the pawns of foriegn powers. lets unite and take advantage of our strengths and build trust with our fellow lebanese before demanding that they give up everything against the constant threat of our neighbours.
your uncle Shiek Bashir knew this and was killed. someone that was divisive but a true strong lebanese patriot. there is a foriegn conspiricy that wants the lebanese to fall into civil war. the mustaqbul party is leading this conspiricy knowingly or unknowingly. but you should be able to see.

HA will shrink come 2012-13, the fall of the Assad regime will change the whole political map in the region, the shrinking will be due to deflections from the she3a community itself, did you forget the intense wars between Amal and HA in the 80's?, the current HA size is due to the exponential rise of hypocrites and benefniciaries joining the organization, "muqawama" is a business enterprise, everyone in lebanon knows that. The HA ideology is foriegn to the she3a community itself, unless everyone wants to wear suits with no ties.. i mean come on.. the she3a are cool people who like to drink and have girlfriends.. no one really believe that they are gona tolerate an Islamic republic! of course during the israeli occupation people turn to religion, that is natural, but that will expire especially when money and power diminish..
Historically people who hide in holes do not have sweet endings or a political future: Hitler, Saddam, Osama, Kadafe to name a few.

Why do all the losers keep bringing up the 1975 War???
is this your new distraction tactic???
I can tell you it is not working.
The entire world is watching this Hizb...
and those 4 suspects will be brought to justice sooner or later, and you can take this one to the bank...
Now to those of you who want to open the old files of 1975, I will be more than happy to enlighten you anytime you want...
Two things for sure, Sami had nothing to do with 1975, and every member of the Lebanese Resistance is proud of what they did in 1975 and they are willing to do it again if necessary...
and Lebanon Always Prevails...

Sami drove home the naked truth and stroke the right tone.
Hezbo is presently too tied and blinded by his own excessive power and fear.
Sooner than some might suspect, Hezbo will have to painfully cope with his own mix of self-righteousness+inferiority, unless he wants to see the Lebanese ground slipping suddenly from under his feet in multiple ways.
No one can do this painful job for him.Wise people can only blow the whistle.This is what Cheikh Sami precilely did.

Xen, actually civil war broke out because of stupid militias so dont be a ignorant racist and instead be an intelectual person who is smart enough to take responsibility instead of always blaming others only. Nobody killed more lebanese than the lebanese ourselfs so enough pointing fingers and enough living in the past. By the way the lebanese historian salibi who recently died constantly blamed the phalanges for the civil war after he left them and denounced their racism and war crimes.

It is true Huzb Allah is the new PLO in Lebanon, Fatahland is now Huzb Allah-land in Dahieh, Bekaa and the south. They hide wanted criminals, organize attacks on Lebanese government officials, take over west Beirut when they feel like it and kill Lebanese soldiers as well.

We all suspected it after the murdering spree May 07 by Mossad's terror branch also known as the party of Jehovah hiding under Islamic slogans that only “resisting” by disturbing daily life, planting bombs, hiding terrorists, and imposing backward Orthodox teaching on the Lebanese. Kibbutz. They bear weapon and defend their settlements exactly like in a Kibbutz and now this will be known also to the Arabs
Nothing we didn't know already! the four suspects are hidden in order to protect Nasrallah although his cell in the Netherlands got refreshed and painted in yellow to please him. Milosevic and the others can't wait to chit-chat with him.
