Future Back On Air

Future TV is back on air. Future CEO Nadim al Munla is on, and Minister of Information Ghazi Aridi is calling in, at the moment.

A technician is showing the torn and cut Future TV cables and where equipment was broken and stolen.

Future Movement leader Saad Hariri is now giving a speech. He just called for a moment of silence. He's speaking from Koreitem.

Iranian President Ahmadinejad has been giving a speeching, which is still going on.


Tayyar.org forums has a report on the massacre that occured in Halba in north Lebanon. According to the report, Future Movement members massacred members of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party.

As I posted during the conflict, Hezbollah, Amal, and the SSNP attacks inflamed sectarian and political feelings in the country. The atrocities visited on the residents of Beirut inflamed the Sunni in the north who are taking out their feelings of powerlessness on SSNP members in the north who did not participate in the attacks in Beirut, but ideologically support the violence that occured in Beirut and who support a return of Syrian occupation to Lebanon.

You call it massacre, I call it justice.

Everybody always sees their own behavior as a reaction, and the other's behavior as the action it is a reaction to. It's a psychological mechanism that the situation in Lebanon is the ultimate example of.

Something that can be explained is not necessarily excused.

Nicolien,

You are completely correct. The people who committed this atrocity must be tracked down, arrested, and prosecuted for what they did.

The mother of one of the men killed called into al-Manar and said that it was a 15 year old boy who shot her son to death. She knows who did it.

Haram. The families of those killed must have justice, if this conflict is ever going to end.
