Sami Gemayel: "You want to fight Israel? go do it on an island .... Final, final, final!"


recently elected, whizz kid (one of many) Sami Gemayel encapsulated Lebanon's real woes: Fighting Israel's occupation!  ....from the good intentions of MEMRI, here

"..."We should be completely realistic. We will not bring an end to this black era in the history of Lebanon, we will not bring an end to the Lebanese [civil] war and to all our catastrophes unless we deal with the reasons for these catastrophes, and close the front in South Lebanon in a final manner. Final, final, final!

"There was no weaponry in Lebanon before this front was opened, and the issue of illegal weaponry will not come to an end unless we close this front. Today, we are committed to a peaceful, civilized, developed Lebanon, which will not come to be as long as there is a front in the South...

"In my opinion, Lebanon deserves to live in peace for a while. We have adopted the option of neutrality. Some people say: 'Whoever wants to live in a natural country should go live on some island.' We say: 'Whoever wants to wage war should go wage it on some island.'.."
