Bassil: We Will Not Allow Syrian Refugee Camps

W460

Free Patriotic Movement chief and Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil on Sunday stressed that the FPM will not tolerate the creation of Syrian refugee camps in Lebanon.

“We will not tolerate today what we had resisted in 2011, which is the creation of Syrian refugee camps,” Bassil emphasized during a tour of the Western Bekaa region.

“Syrian citizens have only one route, which is the route that leads to their homeland,” Bassil underlined.

He added: “Yes, we are racist Lebanese and at the same time we are open to the world and no one has the right to lecture us about being humanitarian.”

More than one million Syrian refugees have flooded into Lebanon since the conflict in their own country erupted in March 2011.

They live in homes and informal camps, and their presence has been largely tolerated, despite testing the limited resources and aging infrastructure available to Lebanon's citizens.

In recent months, there have been rising calls to repatriate the refugees but also warnings against racist rhetoric.

The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

Before a man speaks it is always safe to assume that he is a fool. After he speaks, it is seldom necessary to assume it.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Nah, the populace would not be alarmed by a little thing as the coming of wilayat ul fakih because the midget and his father in law had for them an election law that gave the Christians their rights. Aoun later called it the worst election law ever.

"We will not tolerate today what we had resisted in 2011, which is the creation of Syrian refugee camps"
But the refugee camps did happen you idiot! But instead of having UN administered organized camps for the Syrian refugees like they have in Turkey and Jordan the Syrians are scattered all over the country in makeshift dirty disorganized disorderly lawless camps. This is "chouhoud al zour" all over again.

I have the utmost respect and admiration for Free Patriotic Movement chief and Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil for admitting he is a racist and for making the FPM the 3rd shia force in Lebanon.
