Gemayel: No One is Too Great to Escape Justice

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel stated on Thursday that the release of the indictment in the investigation into the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri will pave the way for the beginning of international justice to take effect.

He said during a press conference after an extraordinary meeting for the Phalange Party: “There can be no partnership without the truth and no unity without the truth and no constitutional institutions without the truth.”

“No one is too great to avoid justice,” he stressed.

Gemayel added that justice should reach all sides involved in the crime and all judicial and security forces should perform their duties in implementing the international decision.

“The political powers have no excuses in failing to implement international decisions,” he stated.

“We will not be lenient with anyone who does so and we will seek all democratic measures to fulfill the international decision,” he continued.

“The indictment is an historic opportunity and it paves the way for activating the Lebanese judiciary and we will not allow any side to waste this opportunity for us,” he stated.

The Phalange Party leader pointed out that the new government policy statement referred to the STL in vague terms, therefore demanding that it deal with the matter with honesty.

“We pledge that we will follow up on the STL’s work in order to meet the aspirations of the citizens and the families of martyrs,” Gemayel declared.

Moreover, he noted that some members in cabinet are affiliated with some names mentioned in the arrest warrants that accompanied the indictment.

The warrants allegedly included Hizbullah members.

Right on Mr. Gemayel. For the Lebanese to live in security, the killers must be dragged to justice. We may disagree with each other, but no one should be allowed to bully, intimidate, hold hostages, occupy full city blocks, hoard rockets, and assassinate.

That why Mafia Hariri @ Co., SARL and its March 14 corruptors and traitors, especially the Christian Sunnis among them are going to jail pending their longest journey to the guillotine.

"Liban", guys like you since the 50s supported les Palestiniens with their bid to replace Liban with la Palestine they lost. Without creatures like you there wouldn't be a war and people like him would not have needed to take up arms and kill the Christians and Muslim you talk about. It is an insult to history and an embarrassment how head banging brain dead ayatollah kissing imbeciles keep wanting to bring to justice the Christian leaders alone. The rest are pro-resistance so forget about all the crimes they committed. Creatures like you are the same kind of traitors who burned Lebanon once in the name of Palestine and the Palestinian resistance now want to burn it again for the Islamic Iranian resistance and Palestine. You're like the fundamentalist Moussawi who thinks that only the ones who didn't fight Israel were sectarian slaying gangs kind off narrow it down to the Christians too busy fighting for their and Liban's very survival against the lefties, PLO and their mercenaries.

من الواضح جداً بأن الشعب اللبناني هو من أكثر الشعوب فقداناً للذاكرة الجماعية، كما أنه من أقلّهم حساباً للمرتكبين.

هذا ليس بتجنّي على الشعب اللبناني وأنا واحداً منه، بل انه توصيف لحقيقة كنا نتغنّى بها أيام الحرب من حيث القدرة على النسيان وسرعة التأقلم بين القصف ودفن شهدائنا نهاراً والرقص واللهو ليلاً!
ربما قد تكون حالة صحية كي لا نصاب باضطرابات نفسية، إنما بقائنا في فقدان للذاكرة الجماعية وللمحاسبة، لن يبني لنا وطناً ولا مؤسسات.

لذا، من المفيد أن نستذكر سويةً بعض المحطات لعيّنة صغيرة من الشخصيات التي تدّعي الحرص على الدولة و"تحب الحياة":

هل تذكرون الآب والابن والروح الحريرية؟
هل يمكن أن ننسى ما فعلته هذه المدرسة إن من حيث الفساد في الإدارات وان من حيث الهدر في المال العام والموازنات من دون قطع حساب والدين العام مقابل رهان توطين فئة من مذهب معيّن، وتجنيس ما يوازي10% من عدد سكان لبنان، للصدفة أنهم من مذهب معيّن؟

هل ننسى ادعاء البطولات وكسر الأيدي ولن يأخذوا توقيع على مرسوم التجديد للرئيس لحود، فإذا بالمرسوم يوقّع ويجرّ معه كل أعضاء كتلة المستقبل (ما عدا مسرحية امتناع غطاس خوري)؟
