| Lahoud rules out freezing of Hamas accounts | |
| 2003-09-26 | |
| They’ve flip-flopped so many times, but this seems to be their final answer - Emile? Would you like a life-line? Lebanese President Emile Lahoud has ruled out any Lebanese compliance with U.S. calls to freeze the accounts of leaders of the Palestinian radical group Hamas, which he described as a resistance movement against Israeli occupation. He was quoted by the Lebanese press as telling a cabinet meeting Thursday night that Lebanon "has a clear position with regard to the Palestinian resistance, which results from the Israeli occupation, and while there is occupation there must be resistance." Puppet-boy speaks....like they care about the Paleos..meh
Sounds like we need to freeze Lebanese assets and blockade them and Syria..I thought you were either with us or the terrorists An avalanche of protests was triggered in Lebanon after the central bank circulated a note to financial institutions in the country on September 8 asking for any information on Hamas-related accounts. The condemnation also sparked fears for the future of Lebanon’s highly valued bank secrecy policy. We need to crush their banking industry - it’s a clearing house for illegal (i.e.: Arafat) and terrorist funds Lahoud was also quoted as telling ministers Thursday that Lebanon "declines to act against the Palestinian resistance or against banking secrecy." "Don’t kill us!" | |

| #2 Poor Lebanon, the ugly step-sister of the 1920 Franco-British division of the old Ottoman Empire. It was supposed to be a Christian state, a place where all Christians in the Middle East could congregate and escape persecution, just as Palestine was supposed to be a Jewish homeland. The Arabs (encouraged by both French and British anti-semites in their respective Foreign Offices) have been fighting to destroy both nations ever since. They've virtually succeeded in Lebanon. Only Israeli military might and will to fight has kept them from succeeding there. Neither the French nor the British have clean hands, but only the British are willing to step up and help clean up the mess their earlier meddling caused. The world would be a better place by far if the rest of the world would totally isolate France until that nation grew up a bit. |
