Riachi Distances Govt. from Nasrallah Remarks, Hamadeh Laments Rhetoric

W300

Information Minister Melhem Riachi of the Lebanese Forces has stressed that the latest anti-Saudi remarks by Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah do not reflect the official stance of the Lebanese government.

“This is not the government's stance and certainly not the LF's stance. We do not accept any dispute with the Saudi brothers and we do not want to interfere in the affairs of the Arab countries, the same as we don't accept the interference of others in our affairs,” Riachi said in remarks published by the Saudi-owned newspaper al-Hayat.

Lebanon should “dissociate itself from conflicts,” he emphasized.

Education Minister Marwan Hamadeh of MP Walid Jumblat's Democratic Gathering meanwhile noted that Nasrallah's rhetoric “does not contribute to pacifying the political atmosphere or boosting the economic atmosphere in the relations with the Arab Gulf countries.”

“It is like we are shooting ourselves in the foot,” he added.

and he says it with a straight face too: "we do not want to interfere in the affairs of the Arab countries"

So the hezbollah owned government that you sit on does not have a militia in Syria, Iraq and Yemen?

These corrupt opportunists think they can whitewash their role in helping to legalize hezbollah's terror activities by saying "Hassan Nasrallah's remarks do not reflect the official stance of the Lebanese government."

So why is the terrorist nasrallah represented in the government?

not sure where you get your figures from;) So if as you claim 30% of the Lebanese people are thugs and terrorists then they become legitimate and legal. Would you say the same ya irani if 30% of he Lebanese people were ISIS?

It is not up to him or us to provide you and your shia terrorist organization followers with alternatives to attract them to the 'other' side. It is your duty as citizens to abide by the law and live under the law.

I read somewhere you were a 'Christian' from Metn, is that correct ya heretic?

tak tak tak, qui est la? c'est moi incorruptible takiya. " Instead of being bashful idiots how about you provide appealing alternatives that may attract HA supporters " well, Lebanon is sectarian and it's up to the shiites to provide alternatives to terrorism for themselves. Christians, Sunnis, Druze managed to do so, why couldn't they?

sure Mr. 'incorruptible', the world owes you something and has to give you a lot of incentives to become human beings. Nothing will bring you to the other side, nothing. You are a bunch of primitive sectarians that commit massacres in the name of your vengeful religious cult. Heck, you still live the events of 1500 years ago.

You are the cancer of society and the filthiest pits of humanity.
