over the past few years, I was once unsure who Gabby was with his hateful positions. Was he a leb patriot who hated Hezballah? Was he a Zionists pretending to be Lebanese? Was he LF? Was he just a scared expat? Now we know he is pro ISIS, pro Al Qaida terrorist who supports isis incursion into Mount lebanon to kill Christian Lebanese.
That narrows it down to either a Zionist trouble maker, or a crazy fanatical, extremist, terrorist salafist! Either way, no longer worth my curiosity.
Of course the families will do all they can to release their loved ones...the media has a responsibility to not become the tool of these terrorists.Reporting Al Nusra as if they are some righteous syrian rebel group...They are Al Qaida! They are allied with ISIS! Any messages released by the captive LAF or ISF are released by al nusra for a reason. The Lebanese Government cannot negotiate or release prisoners in exchange for the terrorists captives because it encourages them to kidnap more in the future!
May God give strength to the captives and their families.... We all pray for their safe release and if a payment by a foreign country ensures their release then so be it.The murder of the LAF and ISF prisoners will be the wrong move! Release them and retreat to Syria and don't make the mistake of involving Lebanon. Lebanese christians are not syrian or iraqi or egyptian. Read a book and learn from history that there is a reason Lebanon's mountains always echo with church bells!
Thank you USA... Thank God the senile Senator McCain hasn't as much influence anymore. 1st he wants to arm the ISIS and Al Nusra, now he wants to attack them and full invasion. He still wants to arm the same people he also wants the Pentagon to attack.
Any real support to the lebanese army will only come through Apache helicopters from the US, the mi 24 attack helicopters russia promised 4 years ago or any of the 3 billion Saudi grant from france... Dont hold your breath.

the best pm? Ya terrorist ya haram.... The Martyr Rafic Hariri was a marytr for Lebanon, but best PM? Have you heard of Rihd el Solh or Saeb Salem? Maybe these Prime ministers are before your time but there is something called google, Yeh?
As for Saad Hariri, you have a chance to break away from the shadows and make yourself a Lebanese Statesman... Yes you are born and raised in Saudi Arabia, but you still can be Lebanese.
Yes, all lebanese should support the LAF and join the LAF if they want to contribute to security. No to vigilante (militia) groups. The goal is all arms under the LAF and Government control including, (one day soon) the arms and strength of Hezbollah. Which will inevitably come through trust and unity.
But calls for arming villages and christians is adding to the dangers. Lets learn from history instead of making the same mistakes.
True in 2004,Syria was an occupying force in Lebanon and had refused to recognise the existence of the Republic of Lebanon.Syria had never had an embassy in Lebanon until after they finally left following the assassination of martyr Hariri.Following their withdrawal and the establishment of an embassy that finally formally recognises that syria and lebanon are 2 independent countries, we the lebanese should have the best relations with our neighbour.Before Afez el Assad took power,the previous sunni lead governments continued the same policy as the previous 30 years...that Lebanon was the 16th provence of Syria and not independent.
Bashar Assad recognised Lebanon as independent country with an embassy and withdrew the occupying army.Syrian,Lebanese conflict should have ended. Instead, the same people that wanted Lebanon to be part of Syria,defended Syrian occupation,colluded and benefited from the occupation,are now the saboteurs of peace between our countries.
This is the truth!
This is not just about sectarian religious, irani/saudi, sunni/shiite, Christain/muslim. This is about an independent Lebanon. Lebanon is not Syria. Those that what to tie our countries together through their sectarian views are the problem. We are nothing but pawns in a chess game.Pawns are the stupidest, most dispensable piece. Congratulations to these pawns who are celebrating the syrian war. all sides thought they would benefit some how. To all fools that cheer the syrian war...there is no solution to the syrian conflict without the suffering and death of Lebanese!
