Jumblatt warns Arab-Israeli soldiers
Chouf MP Walid Jumblatt reiterated on Sunday his call on all Arab patriots in Palestine to leave the Israeli Army and to reject obligatory military service. Jumblatt said that Arabs âwill not forget the treason of those collaborating with the Israeli Army to oppress Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.â
| Make up your minds quick, boys... Though I think they already have. |
âThe refusal of military service within the enemyâs army is the only means to save Arabs in Palestine,â the president of the Progressive Socialist Party said.
| Did that statement make any sense? Didn't think so. |
Jumblatt spoke during a ceremony held by the Hasbaya municipality to unveil the commemorative plate of the PSP and the national resistanceâs martyrs. The Lebanese people and government would support all resistance fighters and free men, the Druze leader added, âthis is what our grand martyr, Kamal Jumblatt, taught us when he supported the Arab and Palestinian cause.â He added that his father ignited the âtorch of changeâ in the country and handed it to those who followed him, referring to his âcomradesâ in the Amal Movement and other parties liberating the South.
| Walid's another hereditary leader... |
Jumblatt then addressed the martyrsâ families, saying their sons were killed as a sacrifice for the national cause and that the loss of their lives became a victory when the South was liberated from the Israeli occupation in May 2000, following 22 years of occupation.
| He means when the Israelis picked up and left... |
Jumblatt said: âNo matter how much longer occupation endures, we will restore Palestine,â adding that it was an Arab land and would never be a Jewish nor an Israeli land. He saluted all martyrs, including the martyrs of Lebanese and Syrian Armies, who âwere there for us at all the difficult stages.â
