جنبلاط منتقدا عون: لبنان بغنى عن توريطه في مواقف متهورة ومنحازة
Read this story in English
إنتقد رئيس كتلة "جبهة النضال الوطني" النائب وليد جنبلاط رئيس تكتل "التغيير والإصلاح" النائب ميشال عون بعد موقفه من الإحتجاجات في البحرين قائلا أن "لبنان بغنى عن توريطه في مواقف سياسية متهورة ومتسرعة ومنحازة".
وقال جنبلاط في تصريح نشرته الوكالة "الوطنية للإعلام" مساء الخميس أن آخر المواقف "ما كان أعلن من تصريحات تتصل بمملكة البحرين التي تمر في ظروف صعبة من تاريخها المعاصر".
وكان عون اعتبر الأسبوع الفائت ان "الثورة البحرينية منصفة للقائمين فيها"، معبرا عن الاسف حيال ان "تقوم ثورة سلمية لمدة ثلاث سنوات وتبقى تتحمل كل التضحيات والظلم من دون ان يكون لها الصدى الكافي في جميع انحاء العالم".
من جهة أخرى أضاف جنبلاط "أما لبنانيا، فالأرجح أن تقليص عدد الآراء السياسية والتحليلات والمواقف البطولية التي لا تقدم ولا تؤخر، من شأنه ألا يعرض الجاليات اللبنانية المقيمة في الدول العربية لمخاطر تهدد وجودها وإستمرارها وبقاءها".
وشدد على أن الجاليات "هي التي تدعم منظومة الصمود الاجتماعي برمتها في لبنان من خلال التحويلات المالية التي ترسل من المغتربين إلى المقيمين لتعيلهم على العيش بالحد الأدنى من الكرامة الانسانية، خصوصا بعد الفشل المتواصل الذي تسجله الحكومات المتعاقبة في الملفات الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والمعيشية".
وختم جنبلاط "من أجل كل ذلك، حبذا لبعض الأصوات التي تعيش في وضح النهار وتضيء بأفكارها المشرقة على المواطنين، أن تحترم عقول اللبنانيين وتضحياتهم في بلاد الاغتراب وتحافظ على بقائهم فيها، بدل إصدار التصريحات النارية التي ستحرق في مواقع حساسة تجعل من الصعوبة بمكان تصحيحها أو الحد من ضررها".

Slaughtering Druze people? They should be slaughtering your kind instead...the iranian farsi foreign cancer type.

Sorry to educate you: But Aoun is the government and he has many ministers in the cabinet. His statements are considered a reflection of the official lebanese government stance.

your friends were so happy to have the voice of saudi money to topple the previous gvt... means they don t care as much as you do about it, as long as it serves their interests money can come from anywhere!

Flamethrower: Seriously...why not share some facts and useful information (you have access to it) instead of repetitive comments expressing your opinion that everyone already knows. I'm directing this comment to you because I think you can engage many readers in healthy dialogue if you wanted to. I just don't understand why you don't. How else can a reader honestly see your point of view for what it's worth?

My friend, in view of your name, I trust you must be most sensitive to the fact that we should be against any foreign interference in our affairs.
The same goes for us interfering in other peoples affairs.
I happen to know BAhrain well, and can assure you that the situation there is highly influenced by foreign forces. -- I wish we all could leave the Bahrainis to resolve their own issues.
We would also pay dearly as well if the GCC countries boycotted the Lebanese. -- I doubt a responsible person would want to take such a chance.
Let's not throw stones on others, especially as our home is made of glass...

it goes the other way too... in bahrein at least they are not using heavy weaponry to crush a rebellion...how many protesters died in 3 years there compared to 2 years in syria? so how can you support a regime using war planes on its people and keep silent about it? that is exactly what aoun is doing... being quiet and supporting the syrian regime while defending people in bahrein... i guess some people deserve better than others in your standards? some can be free and not others?

Excuse me- but who the hell is Aoun to talk about Bahrain's internal affairs? Why does he feel the need to bark about this subject? I am not pro- ANYONE in Lebanon, but I do think that Jumblatt's statement on this is wise and mature. What good will Aoun's remarks do? Will they change the policy of the State of Bahrain? Does Aoun have any leverage over Bahrain's internal affairs? No and no. So let him shut up and mind his business and not make life hard for Lebanese expats already under pressure.

yes aoun's opinion is representative of the Iranian point of view.
the real Lebanese do not aggress other countries and do not meddle into other countries affairs to please their patron and hurt the Lebanese interests abroad.
the real Lebanese are the ones outside Lebanon, working their way, as their country is invaded by Iranians, and the little general Petain(aoun) is licking their boots to be hired as president.

There are quite a number of personalities vying to be the "primary Christian leader" of Lebanon- I am not really sure Aoun has sealed the deal on that one.
But, let's put that aside for just a moment. Agree that Jumblatt talked about another country- but that country's affairs is intimately linked to the security of ours. If anyone sneezes in Syria we catch a cold. I would venture to say that any so-called Lebanese leader would be justified in expressing their opinion on Syria. Its not the same for Bahrain. Should Aoun in his capacity as the "primary leader of the Christians in Lebanon" be justified in expressing his opinion on the conflict in Yemen between the Houthis and the central government? Or what about the murder of Shia in Quetta,Pakistan? Your argument does not stand up to logic.

If Lebanon or rather a Lebanese politician criticised France do France send all Lebanese back to Lebanon ?
Arab jarab

Definitely. But of course he did support the Syrian revolution when it was peaceful, and the Baath are for sure not committing war crimes at all next to "FSA-Al Qaeda". Your logic eats itself.

don t worry, people such as spartacus believe they are smart when they insult others. in their mind if you are against them it means you are with israel... typical extremist thinking. binary minds and limited thinking is what characterize them...
just pity them.

Why can't we have one representative to each party that speaks publicly to the media on the behalf of everybody in his group. And the rest stays "Under the table". Rather than a mixed salad. This way we prevent individuals sharing their ideas to the public viewers confusing us the lebanese citizens. Our equation needs to be simplified, but we only seem to make it bigger and harder. People we have petroleum on its way that's our breakout point. Please stop fighting like chickens and work for a better Lebanon for us and our children. Everybody bring the better person in you to build our Lebanon.

Mr. jump-alot... is it wise in politics to jump from one side to another? honestly am just asking not making fun
