Gemayel says Lebanon reached 'point of no return' after Kahaleh clashes
[An Nahar] Kataeb party leader Sami Gemayel said Thursday that the situation is dangerous and unacceptable, after deadly festivities between Hezbollah members and residents of the Christian town of Kahaleh left two dead.

"We are no longer ready to coexist with these arms and this armed militia in Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
," Gemayel decried.

A truck belonging to Hezbollah had overturned on the Kahaleh highway Wednesday and was followed by a shooting during which a Hezbollah member and a Kahaleh resident were killed.

"We know that the political power is hijacked and that the army is carrying out orders, but the army must realize that it cannot protect or cover the transfer of arms and snuffies across all of Lebanon," Gemayel charged. "Protecting Lebanon and the Lebanese is the army's responsibility."

"What would have happened if this truck was carrying explosives," he angrily asked. "We cannot continue like this, we've reached the point of no return."[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
