Huge pro-Syria rally in Beirut

Hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in Beirut to show support for Syria and protest against Western intervention. The rally, organised by Hizballah, dwarfed previous rallies that demanded the withdrawal of Syria. Doesn't look like things are goin as well for Lebanon as many hoped (and looks like a good proportion of people dont want Syria to leave) I have a really bad feeling about this especially when it was civil war here 15 years ago...

Hizbllah= murderous, facist friends of Damascus that recieve most of their funding from, you guessed it, Iran!

Weird that I don’t see anyone here bitching about the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, I guess the only occupation that counts is the Israeli one right?

Clearly that protest is Hizbollah's way of sabotaging the process of freeing Lebanon. Its all Syrian interest which is of course a terror supporting state.

I'm only beginning to start reading on Lebanon a bit more now that they're in the news, but it seems that Hezbollah is still quite popular in Lebanon thanks much in part of their successful defense of the Israeli invasion in '82. Now I realize the actions of Israel at that time were the result of PLO terrorism - I'm just pointing out the rationale for Hezbollah popularity.

And the article did state hundreds of thousands, not tens of thousands:

quote:
Hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in Lebanon's capital, Beirut, to applaud Syria's role in the country and reject Western "interference".


Edit: Oops, missed your latest post Q5. Sorry.

when was the last time you saw a pro israeli rally in palestine?

(we have been bitching here on syria lately )

anyway, i think its sad that this is happening, but i respect them, if they want syria to be there, let it be so, and dont try to enforce our values upon them.

but of course if they were forced to protest, then thats really bad, but you have any real sources for that?

To be fair, 'somebody's mate' on Tranceaddict is hardly the most reliable source is it?! Still, be interesting to see if it's true...

BO18 do you have any sources?

There are people dissing Syria in other threads on here!

Altho, its not like the Lebanese have suffered as much as the Palestinians so maybe your right, the Israeli occupation is more of an issue!

wtf smiley? where's it say that most of lebanon thinks of hezballah as heroes? most of the lebanese people are actually not fond of them at all especially since israel has withdrawn from southern lebanon. most people resent the fact that hezballa is still in lebanon and use it as a simple base from which to attack israel for syria and iran.

regarding the protest, it was about 500,000. but dont let this number fool you. there have been reports saying that syrians were rbought to lebanon to falsely protest under the lebanese flag. there's definitely been a lot of fishy things going on with this protest because i can assure you that not this many people are for the syrian occupation.
