Gemayel: Yesterday's Maronite Bishops Proclamation Cannot Be Compared with Those of the Past

W300

Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel stated on Thursday that the Maronite patriarch has adopted a different approach than his predecessors.

He told Akhbar al-Yawm news agency: “Wednesday’s Maronite bishops proclamation cannot be compared with those of the past.”

The bishops are not adopting a new approach, but the patriarch is, he explained.

Addressing the March 14 camp’s line of action in the upcoming phase in Lebanon, Gemayel said: “Its members are the most honest people in the country.”

“Our principles and agendas are as clear as day, which is not something we can say about the other camp,” he added.

Furthermore, he revealed that a number of measures have been agreed upon, and they will be announced in due time.

The Council of Maronite Bishops on Wednesday appealed to Maronites to support the patriarch and urged the Lebanese to join hands and sit at the dialogue table to renew trust in each other.

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi believes that “unity is force,” an appeal issued by the bishops following their monthly meeting said. “He calls everyone for dialogue and understanding and rejects the logic of war.”

“Let us all return to our roots as Lebanese, join hands and sit at a friendly, honest and transparent dialogue table … to renew our trust in each other,” they said.

True, when the next elections happen next year, and the batrak does not call Maronites to vote this way or that, then saad hariri's "Saudi first" party is destroyed, then lebanon will win! thank you sayedna! We are all anti Saudi trouble.

Leave Bkerki aside and lets talk about Michel Suleiman, not a single president have done anything like him, his Arabic letter reading in the UN, where is the French or English he is fluent in or that what the muslom brotherhood wants him to do, shame and more shame from all sides by representing our nation and letting the scum bags enjoy their anti-Lebanese policy and go after single Lebanese millionair worldwide.

Thank you cheikh Amin 3al Fashal for proving the conjecture that 1 + 1 = 2, (which coincidentally is the current count of Kataeb members: yourself and Sami now that Potato Nadim joined the other band of hoodlums and thugs, the Lebanese Farces). What would great minds have done without you? Thanks again and keep up the good work.
