الجيش مستمر بملاحقة العمال الأجانب الذين "يتعدون على حرمات المواطنين"

“under the excuse of the rights of migrant workers, whose rights must not come at the expense of Lebanese men and women targeted by harassment.”

LOVING the army these days. Now THATS noble. I really want to see who's going to complain here about this response.... crickets!

This is a silly statement by army command, why doesn't Kahwaji concentrate on securing the country's borders and curbing the various arms smuggling rather on jockeying for the presidency. Don't get me wrong I'd love to have him as my president president but the ongoing childish PR campaign he's been engaged in lately is unbecoming of a Lebanese army commander.

some seem to forget that the role of the army is to defend the country's borders, and the role of the FSI is to police the country.
when each does what is required of them we will have a country.
No what this army is doing is not sanstioned at all, and its measures are simply bullying people.
the army's role is not to set checkpoints and shoot people in the head instead of shooting their tires and arrest them!
the army's role is not to defend the syrian regime, and execute its orders....
this is not our army...

well since the resistance is supposedly protecting our boarders, i guess the army had nothing better to do but to foolishly protect the honor of lebanese men and women :P
Shaklak ma 3endak ekhwi baneit eh ya geha?

How the hell did those idiots get into the country in the first place??????????

Ask THAT to whoever is protecting our boarders. Maybe if the leb's werent so stuck-up thinking that they are ALLLL high class, there wouldn't have been a demand for these workers. Too posh to work as domestic caretakers and construction workers. li2anou.... "3eib"

Again, what the F... the army is doing in Jeitawi? Why the hell is the army asking for the people to complain to it? I never knew the army became "customer service" This is the job of the FSI ie the police. The army should only interfere in emergencies inside the country. Else they should be at the borders.

This is pure arrogance and a page taken from the Basij. It will be a sad day when our army start behaving like shabiha ignoring basic civil and human rights of foreigners residing in Lebanon. Punishing culprit appropriately is fine, but collective punishment is unacceptable. The real danger to Lebanon is not from foreign workers harassing citizens but from organized militias such as Hizbollah or Syrian SSNP, many of whom were caught committing crimes and assassinations. How about starting by demarcating and protecting our borders, or protecting and defending our freedom and free speech?

Leave the army alone .Human Rights Watch should shut up. why should our people have to put up with them migrants,either they respect our people and our country or they can f..off.
God bless our army

Ah well... I'm really not against anyone playing the role of a vigilante. If the army wants to be our superhero and fight crime, then that's cool. Since the police isn't doing its job, someone's gotta do it right? (It wouldn't hurt if they could be a bit more civilized...)

MakaWaka, funny comment about all Lebanese being high class! Kteer mazbout! When the lebanese start cleaning their own shit, then we've got ourselves a whim of economic improvement!

FT & Phoenix, I see your comments everywhere! You guys have really opposed views but seem to really write things in a very respective manner and I love that! People in our country should learn from you!
PS: I'm not saying this because I agree with your political views, I'm just saying this because you got more class than 99.99% of this country ;)

Bazinga...
Ah finally! someone who appreciates and understands wisdom and class around here!
True Story!
Cheers.
