Between Lebanon’s independence and Jumblatt’s independence along with other politicians who are seeking significant roles, we wouldn’t be adding anything new if we said that everlasting constants or unchanging alliances in any policy in the region and the world is impossible. But this impossible becomes a characteristic of Lebanon’s politicians, who, when facing misfortune, resort to their sects to justify their overthrowing principles under the pretext of defending these sects. Otherwise, if using this discourse openly is shameful, then let it be for the sake of cementing civil peace!
With Jumblatt’s awakening, we should ask if embarrassment alone is what bitterly prevented the leader of the Socialist Party from frankly relaying his feeling to his previous allies in the March 14 group, after talk about the need for this group to practice self-criticism to address its mistakes, approaches, and behaviors after the May 7 tumultuous events was on the rise.
The reassurance Jumblatt addressed to Saad al-Hariri, following the shock, that he will not abandon him, is more like adding salt on a deep wound which will not heal quickly, no matter how much Jumblatt insists that what he did was “misinterpreted”, justifying it with the need to raise new slogans.
The additional frustration has deprived the majority of the effects of its victory in the parliamentary elections to allow for the birth of “slogans”. The opposition can gratefully thank Jumblatt for his success in achieving what it failed to accomplish relentlessly alongside regional sides: Dividing the March 14 group. The catastrophe would be if it turns out that all the prices paid by the Lebanese during the past four years were nothing but a battle over a slogan
