Huge crowd gathers in Beirut for Hizballah rally

Tiny Minority of Extremists Update: "Huge crowd gathers in Beirut for opposition rally," by Yara Bayoumy for Reuters, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of flag-waving Lebanese poured into central Beirut on Friday for a Hezbollah-led protest aimed at bringing down the Western-backed government, which has vowed it will not yield to the pressure.

Pro-Syrian Hezbollah and its allies have called on Lebanese from across the country to take part in the opposition protest. It is due to start at 3 p.m. (1300 GMT) and will be followed by an indefinite sit-in near the government offices.

Hezbollah, which is backed by Syria and Iran, has branded the government a U.S. puppet.

And what they want it to be is a Syrian puppet.

Will the UN peekeepers be attending? They hate Israel and the US too so they should be honored guests.

It sure would be awful if those evil Zionists interrupted this happy gathering with an "accidental" bombing or strafing. It might get rid of a couple of the bigshots.

The next time Nasrallah sees the light of day it would be good to do a fly-over, if you know what I'm getting at...

All the Iranian money they have been spreading around South Lebanon is now paying off. Their supplying of social services now generates crowds on demand.
The fools in this game are the Syrians, who think they are better off climbing in bed with Iran and Hizballah than with the Egypt or the Saudis,(Silly Sunnies, tricks are for Shiites!). If this goes Iran's way, soon you'll find Hizballah suicide bombers in Damascus. It does not bode well for the Druids and Christians or anyone else in Lebanon that doesn't want to revert to the brainlessness of Islamic theocracy as a mode of modern government. The similarities between the things Hizballah is doing to subvert the Lebanese government is very similar to what Hitler did to become chancellor. I guess it's true, learn from history or repeat it.

It sure would be funny if somebody got a plane and dropped some pig guts on these idiots. That would stop the festivities in no time. Just like in that movie "Carrie".

come to think its Friday,and these lazy muslims have nothing better to do than go and protests. it's their cottage industry, after makeing bomb belts and road side bombs,

Hundreds of thousands of Hezbollah supporters protest Lebanese government

BEIRUT (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of flag-waving protesters from Hezbollah and its pro-Syrian allies descended on downtown Beirut on Friday in a peaceful but noisy protest to force the resignation of Western-backed Prime Minister Fuad Saniora, who was holed up in his office ringed by hundreds of police and combat troops.

The protesters, which police estimated at 800,000, created a sea of Lebanese flags that blanketed downtown. Hezbollah officials put the number at least 1 million — one-fourth of Lebanon's population.

Hey, these people aren't lazy idlers. Protesting is their job. Like a lawyer commercial we have on TV here says "That's all they do and they do it well".

It sure would be funny if somebody got a plane and dropped some pig guts on these idiots. That would stop the festivities in no time. Just like in that movie "Carrie".

... the genius of that... Brilliant!

Why don't we pull out the stops and do some psy-ops on these mo-foes? No one has to die... they would go out of their minds in the humiliation and would be instantly najis, would do many destructive and stupidly impulsive things and at the same time we support people like Alarmed Pig Farmer economically. Win/win/win...

We do need to start doing things like this.

The Iranian news service will probably end up inflating the total enough so that five-fourths of the population showed up to prove Lebanon's true love for Illah, his minions and their bosom buddies.

Allah's math ain't no good, speciually konsiderin' fractuals.

Hoopie!!! Hizballah is back!!! You can just smell the love.

Im here laughing at these clowns as it is already starttng to get really cold in Beirut. Burqa or no burqa they are going to feel it soon, so this thing may just fizzle(fingers crossed). We (THE PRO LEBANON MAJORITY) have taken a decision, we will stay home and let these retards go on chanting until they are blue in the face. Why do we care....they have shown their true colours and quite frankly they are not patriots...they are a bunch of zombies. No one will listen to them anymore, all similarities with humantiy have vanished. Imagine Hizballah says they are defenders and true resisters WHY? becasue they are the ones that died and got blown to smithereens a feew months ago....although there is a cute failure to mention the fact that they started the FACKING WAR!!!

The gov't is backed solidly by the parliament and the people both chirstian and muslim, and i get sick of all the press in the west saying if one more minister dies the gov't will collapse. In truth the parliament will just appoint a new cabinet of the same anti syria PRO LEBANON agenda with or without support of the jackass syrian lacky of a president that we have.

No fear folks no islamic scum sucking theocracy in this place...lebanon will always be and open and tolerant society.

The odor of decaying poop, no doubt.

How long until we see this sort of thing happening across Europe.

Just to be pendantic a Druid is a member of a pre-Christain Celtic religion who largely worships nature.Most significant religious site is Stonehedge,England.

A Druze is a member of an Islamic sect (considered heretics by some...)
check out wikipedia for the fuller details.

If there were more Druids in the world it would probably be a much safer place!!!

Israel really needs a squad of its own suicide bombers. Forget the war against terror. Copy the enemy's tactics except use them more effectively. A bunch of Hezbollah are out in the open. Why not send in a truck bomber.

Nice idea. However, the Israelis are as "stupid" as the rest of the West-they love life more than death, so that won't happen. Only Islamic losers who believe in an everlasting orgy in the afterlife aspire to such stupidity.

On the other hand, they might want to consider a remote controlled truck bomb. This would save an Israeli life and once again demonstrate intelligence through superior technology.

seeing how a lot the people in Lebanon are dependent on Hezbollah backed charities for their daily bread is not surprising that they gather a crowd whenever they want to protest, a personal do a lot their when their children are hungry. Unfortunately still like this makes useful idiots to Islam in our society believe that Israel is the villain in this picture just another day a e-mail conversation was someone from the war resisters movement that thinks cowards that desert the Armed Forces are heroes, and Israel is the villain in the Middle East and Hezbollah are heroes it's sad how these ivory tower liberals call those of us who are realize just what a danger Islam is. A gentleman I was corresponding with an admitted he had no religion and in fact was atheist or in Islam wins I wonder how long useful idiots like this will last.

Given what we know of Islamic gratitude I'd say the useful idiots who helped them to victory would be given The Choice-convert or die. Any "friend" foolish to reject option one would immediately have his head removed as a token of thanks.

Hezbollah seem to have instructed their supporters t wave Lebanese, rather than Hezbollah flags - presmably it would look better on TV. The Euronews channel mentioned that Maronite Christians, presumably Aoun supporters, are also in the crowd.

Give each one of those protesters some bribe money and you can win any fool over.

wallyUK

that's interesting, if there are Maronite Christians in the crowd it would suggest there is a schism in the Christian camp. Not good. (excuse my ignorance of Lebanese politics)

hi this is my first post,
been reading lots of book,an jw evey day
now for some real fun, lets start packin all the bullets made in the great USA in pig greese
way cheaper than cosmoline an will have a very long after affect!
just the thought of this will have a very advers affect even if it is a rummer,
propaganda at its best!

Now that the diaper-headed Hezbullies are not getting their way they are, what else, throwing temper tantrums, making threats and ruining it for everyone.

Is anyone on the Watch really surprised?

Israeli Druze are friendly, loyal and patriotic citizens. Good people, definitely.
Btw, they also proudly serve in the IDF !

...where are the 'humanitarian bombers' when you need them?

Theosebes smiles wanly as he wipes egg off his face be fore he speaks, "Shalom Raz, shalom Heirophant. I sit corrected. Yes, Druze are the ones in Lebanon, the others are dancing around Stonehenge. Serves me right for qwertying before coffee, my time is three hours before the posted one, so for me it was quite early."
He lapses into a glum silence, lost in a reverie. A bird sings gaily outside, and he stirs again, his embarrassment forgotten. He logs off, and heads for his garden.
Shalom
