After Hara blast, they seemed as if commenting on an event from the other side of the world. Of course, no one is expecting from them to scream and cry, but also no one is asking them to justify the crime of the killer

Ibrahim Al-Ameen - Al-Akhbar Newspaper 

Saad al-Hariri considered yesterday “that the innocent citizens in the suburb are the victims of criminal and terrorist crimes that are targeting them since months, and that they are at the same time the victims of involvement in foreign wars, and especially in the Syrian war”. Similarly, March 14 figures have had the same positions and comments on the terrorist bombing that hit the southern suburb of Beirut Thursday afternoon.

One can expect such comments by the leaders of the armed groups in Syria, or by figures in the Syrian opposition, so as to justify the crimes of the terrorists and to say that the bombings were a response to Hezbollah’s intervention in the fighting in Syria, because they want to put pressure on Hezbollah and its supporters at the political, security, popular and media levels. But, are the members of the March 14 group aware of what they are doing when they undertake such a mission?

First, the pillars of this group, its media, and part of its supporters, are acting as if what happened in the suburb, Thursday, took place outside Lebanon. It seems it is impossible to expect from them a position that shows that they see the others as citizens like them and that they share the same rights with them in the country and have the same duties.

They are the same people who rushed, after the assassination of former minister Mohammad Shatah, to act on the basis that the assassination of that man, which is a flagrant crime, is a Lebanese event that is related to the pure Lebanese people, and that the whole world, including the governments, security agencies and international courts, should be busy prosecuting the perpetrators. They also consider that because of this political crime, governance must be changed in Lebanon, the policy of the State must be modified, and the figures, leaders and forces must be changed, reaching to what has been announced by Prime Minister Fouad Saniora “After Shatah’s assassination is not like before”!

After the Hara blast, they seemed as if they were commenting on an event that happened in the other side of the world. Of course, no one is asking them or expecting them to scream and cry, but also no one is asking them to justify the crime of the killer.  What explains this overwhelming feeling that al-Hariri and his group are in a state of euphoria or are gloating?

What are those people telling their supporters?

Neither stupidity nor malice are controlling the minds and hearts of those people ever since assuming the responsibility for managing the care of groups and organizations, but it is imperative to say that they are merely men controlled by systems, as if saving their lives is in return for their positions and actions. Those people should understand that their positions do not only justify the crime, but also call for additional ones, because they are saying, publicly, and in obvious statements: the reason for the bombings is the intervention of Hezbollah, and thus they are justified, and once Hezbollah gets out of Syria, the bombings will be stopped!

Are those people acting as spokesmen for those who are bombing and are sending their warnings to us? Are they just reporters or analysts commenting on the event and they can intuitively reach to this conclusion, or they are assuming a general responsibility in the country and they want to rule it entirely? Don’t they understand that they must greatly assume their responsibility in sparing no political, religious, moral, security, and media effort to prevent this goblin from devouring everyone, including their children before the children of others!

Don’t they wonder why the criminals are, deliberately, choosing Arsal as a sole base for the bombing operations and for preparing the cars and sending them into Lebanon? All the bobby-trapped cars come from there, and all the terrorist and Takfiri movements stem from there. Even Majed al-Majed was hiding in Arsal. Don’t people wonder about this secret?

What is al-Hariri doing there along with his men, or they, likely, want this area to be a trap to drag Hezbollah into it to actively cause something to happen, and to come out to the world again to say: This is Hezbollah fighting the civilians with the weapon of resistance!

Don’t they know that the people of Arsal, despite the fact that they show enthusiasm for the Syrian opposition, and despite the emergence of a strong movement therein that attack Hezbollah, began to wonder why their town is being desecrated and why it has been turned into a base for terrorism that is hitting Lebanon and Syria. Don’t they know that their behavior and that providing cover with blind intolerance, without asking or arguing, for what the Kingdom of oppression wants in Syria and Lebanon, takes Lebanon towards the blast, which would harm what is remaining of their influence in favor of those who head the Takfiri movements? Maybe, they want to versify moderation in the morning, and then we see them in the evening as slaughterers justifying the crimes of the murderers and asking them to commit additional ones?

Since there is no room for any mist, the members of Al-Saud are responsible for the bloodshed. As for their henchmen, here, they are, with what they are doing, partners in a crime that will never allow them, no matter how many times it would be repeated, to record one single image that prove the involvement of the resistance in shedding the blood of civilians or innocents.

The bombing that took place yesterday achieved no goal, except committing murder. Death never creates a political balance, and every attempt to escape from facing the reality of defeat is as if delaying the burial of who is already dead!

Die in your malice!
