Pushed Racist Anti-Armenian Falangists Lebanese by Thierry Meyssan *
The Lebanese Phalange party of Amine Gemayel launched an anti-Armenian in which the different components of the government coalition have enclosed. The European press, which refuses to consider the Phalange for what they are-that is to say, a fascist party, and sees in them as allies of "the West" is silent. This is even looser than the Lebanese of Armenian origin are now the most ardent defenders of republican principles in the Christian community. August 10, 2007 The issue of elections that just took place August 5, 2007 in Lebanon greatly exceeded the simple designation of two members: they affect the functioning of institutions in these troubled times, they determine the balance of power for the upcoming presidential election in two months and have resulted in a sharp thrust anti-racist Armenians among the Falangists.
The Siniora government, which has held power in violation of the Constitution was illegally convened two parliamentary by-elections to replace MPs Walid Eido and Pierre Gemayel, both assassinated. Logically, the opposition should boycott the two elections, but it boycotted than Beirut and decided to use one of Metn to assess the balance of power within the Christian community in a district almost entirely Christian. She then presented a candidate unknown to the general public, Dr. Camille Khoury, a country doctor, with the understanding that he considered himself the calling election illegal and did not intend to sit the National Assembly if elected. For its part, the coalition presented its best candidate: former president and chairman of Supreme Life Phalange, Amin Gemayel, to succeed to his son.
Beyond clan ties that have weighed heavily on the ballot, voters had to choose between two policy options: one side the Phalange, a Lebanese favor exclusively dominated by Christians and allied with Israel against the Muslims of the other Patriotic General Michel Aoun, in favor of a secular Lebanon where all can live in peace without also take account of community membership.
It is ultimately the outsider Camille Khouri, who won by a short head. The slap thrust forward by President of Honour Phalanges in the historic district of his clan puts an end to his hopes of once again be president of Lebanon. Amine Gemayel was more so than in his personal campaign accusing those who would not vote for him to play the killers of his son.
Sociological analysis and the election results show different choices among Christians by their churches. Maronites (that is to say, Eastern Rite Catholics), who represent half of the Christians of Lebanon, 56% would have voted for the draft of the Phalanges and 44% for the opposition. The faithful various other Eastern Churches, representing one quarter of the Christians of Lebanon have only 42% voted for the Phalanges and 58% for the opposition. The Lebanese-Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church of representing the last quarter of the Christians of Lebanon would have voted only 20% of the Phalanges and 80% for the opposition.In other words, the Maronites would be in favor of Lebanon where Christians dominate the Muslims, while Christians of other Eastern Churches would conversely favor of a secular and republican Lebanon. Among these, most committed to civil peace are citizens of Armenian origin, whose families arrived in Lebanon in 1915 to escape the genocide.It is also necessary to qualify this presentation by highlighting things that the vote is a vote Armenian community since the community is divided into three parties representing different political ideas. The Ramgavar (center right) to vote apel Gemayel, while Henchak (center left) and the powerful Tachnag (left liberal) called to vote Khouri.
Meanwhile, the Phalange (Kataeb in Arabic) was founded in 1936 by Pierre Gemayel (the grandfather) in anti-republican spirit of the English Falange Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera. These two teams are the last two historical fascist parties still operating without interruption since the end of the Second World War because they were ideologically linked to the Axis, they did not attend his fights. Even if they avoid
to advertise, the Phalangists remain supporters of an authoritarian rule that provides a Maronite elite over the rest of the population and maintain a cult of violence. Thus, even in January 2005, Pierre Gemayel(the small-murdered son) was praised the superiority of "race Maronite" at a meeting of the Phalange [1].
In 1948, during the exodus of Palestinians fleeing the massacres in Israel and the Phalanges developed an anti-Palestinian racism that culminated in 1982 with the massacre of Sabra and Shatila. Animated by the same logic, the Phalangereacted to Sunday's election by a diatribe anti-Tachnag (Armenian opposition party), which soon turned into pushing racist anti-Armenian in which they have trained their allies.
the evening of the election, President Lifetime Supreme Phalange Amine Gemayel, accompanied by the war criminal Samir Geagea, tried to reject the election results, saying it was rigged by the party Tashnag and that its members would have to answer to them.
He could not say more, as the executive president of the Phalange, Karim Pakradouni, is himself of Armenian descent.
But the step was quickly taken. On Monday night, the television news of the government television station LBC, the leader of the Progressive Socialist Party and member of the Socialist International, Walid Jumblatt [2], said: "The Armenians must know that the Lebanese have the right to self-determination. " A brutal way to exclude the Lebanese-Armenian community national although their families have arrived in Lebanon before it is independent. In the process,Nassib Lahoud, presidential candidate of the Republic supported by the United States and Saudi Arabia, declared that "The Armenians would not have intervened in a conflict between Christians," insinuating that the Lebanese Orthodox of Armenian origin are neither Lebanese nor Christians. While
Gabriel Murr, owner of the chain MTV, said bluntly: "These newly naturalized Armenians fucked in the internal balance of our country."
The days that followed were marked by many Republicans intervention in defense of their fellow citizens of Armenian origin, including those of General Michel Aoun, former MP Mikhael Daher, former Minister Michel Murr ( brother of the above), and Prince Talal, chairman of the Druze Democratic Party. To calm things down, Amine Gemayel has made a visit to Catholicos Aram I, head of the Armenian Apostolic Church Lebanon. Metn, steps have been taken by the Republican party militias to provide security for Lebanese of Armenian origin. Source: http://www.voltairenet.org/article150689.html
