Lebanese better hope that the Hariri murder is also not a part of that conspiratorial nonsense.
Based on the fact that Der Spiegel is the only entity to make such accusations, and based on the fact that Hizb'allah would have to be absolutely forking insane to commit such a high profile assassination right before elections (and they, of course, know this), I think it's pretty safe to say that Hizb'allah was not behind the Hariri murder.

I think your logic is faulty. So are your facts. Hariri was assassinated years ago. With the strong Hezbollah ties to Syria, I'd be dumbfounded if they played no part whatsoever.

And where did they get it? There a thousand fake quotes on the internet cited in multiple sources the supposed Mussolini quote:

For example.

Quote:
But wait, those are apparently all lies, according to you. But yes, cling to an outdated version of Hizb'allah's aims and goals, and completely ignore the past 20 years.
lmfao do you even know what the word "outdated" means? If its outdated that would mean there is an updated version of the manifesto sport. Until you provide this amended version of the manifesto you're just blowing smoke.

Quote:
Like I said, your viewpoint is based entirely on conspiratorial nonsense. Thanks for proving my point.
Your viewpoint is a joke you don't even know what the word outdated means.

A party's platform doesn't change unless it is changed do you even understand the concept of a party platform? I don't think that you do.

Then make the case with something stronger than accusations, insinuations, rumors, suspicions, and one article.

Bear in mind, what you are asking the Lebanese to accept on your hunch could, by your own admission, lead to civil war.

That Hez'boallah is being moderated by its political inclusion, coupled with the risk of civil war is not something you simply toss aside on a hunch or a German news paper.

I could just as easily make insinuations based on rumor about Israel's long term covert involvement in Lebanon and their strong desire to see Syrian influence removed from Lebanon. Would that be in any way helpful to either Lebanon or Israel?

Der Spiegel is a very highly regarded German newspaper. In addition, Germany has no past or current connections whatsoever with Lebanon and has no dog in this fight. Der Spiegel also probably has the highest daily circulation in Austria which is where the UN Court investigating the Hariri assassination is located. If any newspaper would have an inside track in Vienna, it would most likely be Der Spiegel.

Like everyone else, I'll wait and see how this plays out. But one can't say the source is problematic or the logic above is faulty.

Allah is provident indeed.

Imagine that. Exquisite timing.

Indeed, neither the Hamas nor people like Lieberman have interest in reaching peace

Yeah, let's raid Gaza, but, this time, we drop democracy over their land.
