Asiri Refuses to Assess Lebanese-Saudi Ties based on Hizbullah Behavior
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Saudi Ambassador Ali Awadh Asiri said ties between Riyadh and Beirut are strong, stressing he would not assess them based on the behavior of Hizbullah.
“Lebanese-Saudi relations are stronger than being evaluated by Hizbullah's behavior,” Asiri told the Saudi al-Riyadh daily published on Monday.
“All Lebanese from all sects respect the Kingdom's deeds,” he said.
The diplomat also hailed the coordination between Riyadh and the government of Prime Minister Tammam Salam.
He said he has received phone calls from all Lebanese factions condemning Hizbullah's verbal attacks against Saudi Arabia.
Last month, Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stressed that Saudi Arabia will be roundly "defeated" in its campaign against Huthi rebels in Yemen, which he called "unjust" and "illegal.”
Several Hizbullah officials have also criticized Riyadh, while the Hizbullah-backed al-Akhbar newspaper has published several reports against the country.
Asiri confirmed to al-Riyadh daily that he filed a lawsuit against al-Akhbar “for crossing its moral and professional boundaries.”
Earlier this month, al-Akhbar said Asiri's lawsuit was a “a direct threat to the lives of the institution’s employees, a blatant attack on the freedom of expression in Lebanon and a flagrant violation of norms and laws.”
It held the ambassador and his government fully responsible for “any form of moral, material or physical harm.”

The Al Saud family need to learn the concept of criticism and free thought. Everyone is liable to criticism as it promotes healthy debates.

Criticism: yes. Even in Canada, there is a limit to what you can write. And it is why we have courts.

Criticism of Khameini by anyone in Iran will also cost the freedom or even life of the person criticizing. So why are you allied with the Iranian Barbarian regime? I got it, because they arm you and make sure you have the upper hand in Lebanon.

It is enough that your obedience goes to Iran and not Lebanon to become a traitor (see dictionary)

You don't like the fact of me having Lebanese passport? Well you might aswell strip 1.5 Lebanese of their citizenship alongside mine then.
13 April 2015, 10:35
149
you are not lebanes miss tic... maybe your passport is but your mind lies in tehran not beirut.... you just spit on the lebanese institutions preferring your allegiance to tehran... like any extremist fanatic you pledged allegiance to the iranian revolution remember? never have we seen hezbollah pledged allegiance to the lebanese flag...
you have nothing to envy alnusra or isis or wahabbis, you are the same! isis believe in a caliphate you pledged allegiance to Khamenei! they have a black flag, yours is yellow with the koran on it stating "islamist" resistance not lebanese!
hypocrit antilebanese....

I do have loyalty to the Army & Resistance institutions. I do not care one bit about M14's dreams, politics or stances though.
Which is why I am not a citizen to you people. That is very typical M14 by the way, alienating all whom are against it.
13 April 2015, 11:28
1217
Peace,who has given you the God given right to charge people with what country they can belong to?
No wonder m14ers are so desperate,,,figment of their own imagination & power trip...yet in reality they are the hero's of may 2008.
13 April 2015, 12:01

your my hero Peace,...I noticed how brave you are.
Your toughness over the net is something unseen.
Don;t be jealous of FT, peace..your the net toughie ..Hero/peace.

No wonder the people rose against the corrupted M14 Government in 2008. You keep alienating other Lebanese, then you bark when they hit you back in the face peace. Yes I admit, I have no love to M14 or anything they stand for at all.
13 April 2015, 12:11
156
still miss tic: unable to tell what is M14 in my post denouncing your allegiance to iran...
never mind, your posts speak loud about how you consider Lebanon....no need to bark...
and you may insult M14 as you wish, i do not even care about M14 and what they do, unlike you i just care about the welfare of Lebanon, not a party! LOL
if it eases your frustrations out then be my guest: insult M14 all day long if you want, it does not affect me a bit.

hezbollah pledged allegiance to the isamist revolution = FACT
hezbollah caries a koran on its flag = FACT
hezbollah writes "islamist" resistance not "lebanese" on its flag = FACT
hezbollah obey iran = FACT
stating facts is alienating people for miss tic!!!
... prove us this is wrong miss? can you? or you just cannot assume the fact that hezbollah is an iranian tool?

It's a fact that all you can do is bark about it peace. Just like all the rest of M14, you can't do anything you tried and failed in 2008.
The Resistance is here to stay, you should learn to live with that. alienating them wont help you one bit.
Yes they have alliance with Iran, it is no secret so why do you try to make me admit something that is obvious?
13 April 2015, 13:10
614
M14 have alliance with Israel, USA and Saudi Arabia GCC countries. You do not care about that at all, I do.
You act like you are all solely Lebanese while eating out of Saudi hands, now that is the definition of a hypocrit. I admit support to Iran, you do not admit support to the Gulf.

Yeah peace, I know this garbage story about being only for Lebanon. Why do you support the takfiris in Syria and Lebanon then?

"Why do you support the takfiris in Syria and Lebanon then? "
only in your sick mind....
13 April 2015, 14:46

You are against the Syrian Government, which means you back the same takfiris that beheaded LAF soldiers. Nusra & ISIS are the main forces against Syria.

Who gave Asiri the right to interfere in Lebanese matters?
Who cares what a man wearing a dress has to say?
Who cares if a man who thinks women & children are slaves & nothing more has to say?
oh wait...M14 & their followers do.

ما هي علاقه حزب الله ببلد يبعد عشرات آلاف الكيلومترات عن لبنان ولا يؤثر فيه لا من قريب ولا من بعيد, سوى أن الحوثيين هم جزء من المشروع الطائفي – المذهبي الذي ينتمي إليه “حزب الله” في المنطقة

Guys, it will be best not to respond to The Roar. Ignore him, forget him, leave him to talk alone and on his own. He was never on holidays as he is lying again, but being a person who has NO dignity, he can only do what he has been told to do, like his old man Aoun the claoun. Let his talk all day, let's just move along because a Troll will always be a troll, and a paid one will always be even worse. Forget him, he is not worth your time, his only role is to DERAIL a topic, especially when it is too critical of his Aoun. haven't you guys noticed the number of thumbs down, and yet he claims he was on holiday? Liar as always, so let's move on.

Justin, please ignore The Roar, he is making you do exactly what he is paid to do, to take you out of your focus and keep you pinned on responding to his personal slurs. He has insulted me today many times and in different threads, but this time I am ignoring him, so must you Justin. Please do take a look at his posts, always insulting or deriding people that oppose his views, this is exactly why he is here for. So please Justin, you and everyone else, stop responding to him, he will only delay our discussion away from what we wish to post. Forget him, this is him and not much else. Now see how he will come back as disrespectful as ever. Guys let's move on. A troll is a troll and it's Naharnet's job to know such people.

Naharnet knows very well who the trolls are....You old man is on the top of their list.

To Miss Tic, Miss toc-toc and Co.
1) - You say you are loyal to the LAF, that is good but NOT enough. A true patriot is also loyal to the Constitution (your MP's are not), to the Institutions (Justice: you place yourself above the Justice, Parliament : you have blocked it, Government, Presidency, etc.) ; loyal to the patrimony and values (respect of others, democracy, freedom of speech, human rights, etc.); loyal to our culture ( different from the culture of Arabs and Persia); loyal to the spirit of wanting to live with others (without forcing them to accept wars, when you decide and as you decide).
You say you are also loyal to the "Resistance". We are more than half of the country who believe you are not a resistance but the Army of Iran. We do not trust you anymore and do not wish to live with this "Army of Iran". Can you understand these simple things?
13 April 2015, 16:59

To Miss Tic, Miss toc-toc and Co.
2) - We are not for KSA, Qatar, or any other country. Nor America, nor Russia. We are against anyone interfering in our country. We want to have a normal and happy life, like many people have in Europe, Japan, Canada or Singapour. We want a Neutral country with economical prosperity for all. Our agenda is very different from your agenda filled with hatred, violence and war which you teach in your schools to young kids. We teach our kids to love others. If you do not want to become again the good lebanese like your parents were 50 years ago, and if you want to continue obeying to external countries like Iran, then we must partition the country, and then you can do whatever you like in your own region.

Somebody should be telling KSA that this is Lebanon, we have freedom of speech and democracy, we have no moutawe3, our ladies have the right to drive, people have freedom of belief... It's so sad to see some Lebanese supporting KSA despotic rulers over our national TV. Being against Hezbollah and FPM or Pro Harriri should not make any Lebanese forget the tears and blood we shed for years to regain our freedom. any Lebanese should have the right to criticize any political stance or leader as long as it's done decently
