It's the economy, ya hameer!
They hailed Assad and Ahmadinijad, they burned the flag of Jumblat’s party and they sang “mabrouk Gebran”, congratulating Gebran Tueini for his death.
This is how thousands of Lebanese demonstrated yesterday against US interference in Lebanon.
After Jumblat’s verbal attacks on the pro-Iranian party made it lose its “resistance aura”, Hezbollah, the demonstration’s main sponsor, has stepped up its campaign against the anti-Syrians in Lebanon.
The well armed Shiite religious party decided to take it to the streets.
“Just tell us the word ya sayyid, just tell us,” shouted a demonstrator in last Saturday’s demonstration against the US under-secretary of state to Lebanon after the protest turned violent.
The protestor was calling Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, to give him the order to start another civil war.
Hezbollah are playing Syria and Iran’s game in Lebanon. Nasrallah himself shouted it proudly later last year “Hezbollah is the ally of the Syrian regime and the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Today Hezbollah considers that Jumblat stabbed them in the back.
After the Syrian army ended its occupation of Lebanon, Jumblat formed an alliance with Hezbollah and Amal. He even went to Iran and met Iranian officials. And without Hezbollah’s electoral support the Hariri-Jumblat alliance would not be a majority in today’s parliament.
But according to As Safir newspaper, Iran stopped its financial support of Jumblat a couple of months ago, and it seems that things went sour after that.
Jumblat became a threat to Hezbollah today, especially after demonstrators protesting the shooting of municipality guards by Palestinian gunmen in the Naameh area cut off the Southern highway which links Hezbollah’s southern front against Israel to Hezbollah’s headquarters in the Beirut suburbs.
Last week the demonstrators, who insulted Nasrallah and Berri and blocked traffic for three hours, probably took to the streets in coordination with Jumblat.
I don’t know where all this might lead Lebanon, but what I know is that no one is optimistic and everyone is worried and that means that no one is spending. The economy is hurting even though the Beirut Stock Exchange is booming, (there are less than 10 traded shares on the BSE) and Arabs are investing in real estate projects in Solidere.
So I urge those great politicians of ours to stop flexing their political muscles and start using what is left of their brain cells and shut up and start working on improving our economy.
And I urge my decent Lebanese brothers and sisters to demonstrate against the current political mayhem by taking to the streets and shouting a Lebanese version of Bill Clinton’s election slogan : it’s the economy, ya hameer(donkeys)!
