Report: Congress Republicans Target ‘Hizbullah and Allies’

W460

Congress Republicans released a comprehensive policy proposal on Wednesday considering sanctions on “all ministers of Hizbullah in the government, and figures who present themselves as independent and supportive of the party.”

The plan, released by the Republican Study Committee in Congress, mentioned AMAL Movement leader and Speaker Nabih Berri, Free Patriotic Movement chief and MP Jebran Bassil, MP Jamil Sayed, two former ministers Jamil Jabaq and Fawzi Salloukh.

The sanctions are part of a series of recommendations entitled "Maximizing American Power and Confronting Global Threats", with the aim of "imposing the most severe sanctions on Iran and its proxies in the region and ending exemptions that allow them to earn money.”

They are also part of a new draft penal code the Republicans are preparing to submit to Congress, targeting parties linked with Iran in the region, and ends the current exemptions granted to Tehran in places like in Iraq.”

Bless anyone person, entity, organization, brigade or country that inflicts extreme pain and unbearable suffering, death, torture, and destruction upon the iranian sectarian terrorist militia, its leaders, members, sponsors, supporters or followers wherever they may be.

Congress Republicans should additionally sanction blablablablablablabla the shia christian of european parents from dahieh who entices virile young men to penetrate his deep and wide luv tunnel and deposit their lubricants inside it. The proceeds he obtains from this penetration is used to finance shiism and terrorism.

Great. I want to see Berri squirm and hopefully he and Basil, disappear. And let's not forget the napper in charge, Aoun.

I really hope that these thugs become personna non grata in all countries of the world except Iran... where they can run to and rot!

bigjohn is obsessed only by the US and israel while the country was looted by lebanese politicians and still is... why don't you ever throw the blame on them? happy and at peace with it? corruption is because of the US and israel? the billions stolen because of US and israel? the contraband and smuggling of goods paid by lebanese into syria with the blessing of your friends is done by the US and israel?
stop being that obsessed and see who are the main responsible!

our politicians by making lebanon rotten to the core, let the US israel syria iran benefit from the chaos... if lebanon was strong it couldn't be that easy but thanks to all the politicians they made that possible.
and you still only blame the US and israel for all our problems!
