A “peaceful confrontation plan”
November 9, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
What March 14 are planning to do in the event of an indictment:
The plan, which aims at mobilizing Christians and the civil society against threats in the event the International Tribunal issued an indictment against Hizbullah members accusing them of killing ex-PM Rafik Hariri, was launched from Bkirki following a broad weekend meeting of Christian leaders. […] March 14 plans to expand its peaceful mobilization reach to include civilians where 300 personalities, including media and judicial representative as well as members of parliament, will meet on Tuesday at Hotel Gabriel in Ashrafieh under the slogan “Beirut Initiative” to discuss a peaceful confrontation against efforts to shake stability.
So basically it will be a “Peaceful confrontation” versus a “swift takeover” by gun holders.
There are so many ways things can go wrong. For a “peaceful confrontation” to work, the masses should make it a point to persist in their peacefulness even if provoked, attacked or taunted. This is no easy task for hot-blooded Arabs and we need a convincing Ghandi / MLK to lead by example.
