Berri urges unity, says threats to south are threats to 'all Lebanese'

W460

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri urged Wednesday the ceasefire monitoring committee and member states (the U.S. and France) to stop Israel's attacks and occupation, and called on the Lebanese to stay united in the face of the Israeli aggression.

Despite a ceasefire reached in November last week, Israel has kept up its near-daily attacks on south and east Lebanon and is occupying five hills it deems "strategic" in the south.

Berri called for unity and coexistence -- key components that, according to him, make Lebanon's unique identity in the face of Israel's "racism".

Berri said the Israeli threats to south Lebanon are threats to all of Lebanon, urging the Lebanese to overcome sectarian and political divisions and address the issue with "patriotism".

Hezbollahs weapons are a threat to all Lebanese.

Governing is easy when politicians can create the common cause of an identifiable enemy.

Let's see how good Berri is at governing all of Lebanon's legislative matters without all the hand wringing about our enemy to the South.

My bet is he shows through as a failed human being and politician

The only threat to South is Hezbollah actions. These Iranian mercenaries that have occupied the south transforming it and the rest of Lebanon into Iranian rocket base filled with tunnels & arm storage while people could not afford food or medicine. Hezbollah is a criminal organization that assassinated Lebanon best, spread a reign of terror, and bankrupted the Country in addition to destroying our education, banking and state institutions that were best in the region. Millions have been forced into poverty, hundreds of thousands into exile, and Shia community under forced indoctrination into a culture & extremism foreign to Lebanon. Freedom is coming and all Hezb leaders will be brought to justice. In fact Lebanon needs a Nuremberg type trial to include all enablers, Useful Idiots and traitors that sold the country to the Basij for 30 pieces of silver. Berri, SSNP, Frangie & Aoun duo are on top of list!
