Listen To How March 8 People Are Starting To Talk

January 12, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

Kassem Hashem has just predicted that “Lebanon is heading towards destruction”.

Have you heard one March 14 person saying that we’re heading towards destruction? Have you heard anything other than calls for calm? The reason is simple but Hezbollah’s allies will do all they can to avoid mentioning it: Hezbollah is the party that wants to start “destroying” things and “cutting off hands” because of the Tribunal.

March 8 politicians like to use vague words like “The Unknown” and “instability” because these words imply that some fuzzy dark forces are behind the sabotage. The reality is that the tribunal will not cause instability in the country. It is people who don’t like the tribunal who want to paralyze the country and cause havoc.

We are tired of the blackmail.
