Slogans Out Of Your Mind!

Let me give you a glimpse of some of the slogans from today's demonstration:

"Ya General ma ti3tal ham, 3indak shi3a btishrab dam" (General, don't worry, you have Shiites who drink blood!)

"Allah, Nasrallah, w Aoun w Bass" (God, Nasrallah, and Aoun, only!)

"Ya Geagea, sabrak sabrak, il-Dahye badda tibhash abrak" (Geagea, have patience, the Dahieh will dig out your grave!)

"Il Shi3a w Aoun mittif'een, khalliyon yti'oo il hasoodeen" (The Shiites and Aoun agree, let the ill wishers die of envy!)

"Saad id-Din Harami" (Saad Hariri is a thief!)

That's what I have for now. Aoun has taken a dark turn and I doubt his followers will forge through with that. But we'll see.

"Nobody knows how many rebellions, besides political rebellions, ferment in the masses of life which people earth."

Oh the horror! The shock!
People in a demonstration said offesive slogans!
They shouted empty rhymes praising their leaders and attacking other leaders!
What's next? One day they'll start drawing offensive caricatures of the other readers! Something should be done to stop the carnage!

This is the final proof, Aoun should not become president, Mazere3 sheb3a is not Lebanese, PFM is souri, sabaa shoud be brought back as interior minister , Shia are traitors, Microsoft sucks , falefel Sahyoun atyab min fray7a!
What else can it mean!

Slow day at work today .. so here goes ...

"Ya General ma ti3tal ham, 3indak shi3a btishrab dam"
Very scary, I hope they just test the blood before drinking it, too many deseases these days.
Also might spring some philosophical debate like if I was dead drunk and my blood full of alcohol w sherbou dammeh , is that considered a sin?

"Allah, Nasrallah, w Aoun w Bass"
As the first anon said! Nsina libnen wlo! Sirtou mitl el LF "Allah 'ouet 7akim w bass" do you want to be compared to LF walaw? I guess in their deffence ya7ouk lel sha3er ma la ya7ouk lel mouatin el 3adeh.

"Ya Geagea, sabrak sabrak, il-Dahye badda tibhash abrak"
Blasphemy! How the hell can they sing that? the first part is seven syllables while the second is eight? walaw at least some basic respect for poetry rules!

"Il Shi3a w Aoun mittif'een, khalliyon yti'oo il hasoodeen"
w 3ashra bi 3ayn el 7essed w nya nya nya nya w wiz 3aunak w wizz 3aynak

"Saad id-Din Harami"
Where is the rest? heik ma'tousheh? Saad will be sad that you didn't spend enough time on his rhyme to make it work.

w ana bbi3 sarami
w jareh 3omar karami
w ibn 3ammi esmou rami

hemm mish zabta, at least I tried

PS Sorry for the silliness, I can't bring myself to give such issues any more importance than this.

No really! When a rag sheet like al-mustaqbal passes for a trusted news source in lebanon, nothing is beyond imagination.

The so-called march 14th movement has shown it bankruptcy when it accused the labor unions of being syrian tools, a sort of carte-blanche to pass any unjust economic (read IMF) reforms while using the racist label 'Syrian!' to symie any opposition from the labor union and guilds.

Here are more slogans and sources other than LBC and Al-Mustaqbal.

P.S. Nice to know you are also from Akkar(originaly) Doha :)

I agree with all that this whole labor union show was just that- a show- put together by those fearing to be either de-weaponized or de-ba'abda-ized.

Having said that, I think the government has a golden opportunity now to blow the cover from Hizbolla by specifically dealing with some valid concrete concerns that the labor unions have had for decades (i.e. dating back to the days when Berry Berry or Aonito ruled).

Again, we are just wasting time, waiting for the UN report(s), which ought to be a fun read.

FGA,
Don't get your hopes too high.
Or at least start counting how many times the gov is letting you down. ;-)

TAC,

I commend your apparent lack of partisanship. I too have very little hope regarding our politicians' abilities and intentions. Yet, I do reserve the right to dislike some, more others.

FGA

P.S. Certainly, am not counting on the govt to impress me with its swiftness and decisiveness.

Dr Victorino de la Vega said...

Great slogans!
And beautiful rhymes too!
: )

I hope madam Seniora and her corrupt Wahhabi cronies got the message: this illegitimate government won’t be able to dismantle (what’s left of) the Lebanese public sector in the name of “economic common sense” (sic) and transfer yet more national assets to its foreign paymasters in Riyadh and TeX-Aviv!

Gen. Aoun is right: Seniora must tender his resignation.

The sooner the better.

Victorino de la SSNP, waynak ya 3ammeh! We missed your wahabi jokes!
Glad to hear that your "sense of humour" remains intact.

Doha,

You saying it's wrong reasoning doesn't make it wrong. I could very easily say: No it's the right reasoning, so there.

Let me see, lifting the protection off gasoline, increasing the VAT, reducing the barely existing retirement benifits for public workers. These are the classic IMF demands. Very simply, to get the economic 'aid package' there are certain 'reforms' that will be demanded. Go and read what Yemen had to do to get the holy grail of an aid package from the IMF.

Doha,

The problem is that the IMF will never ever get around being, at the end of the day, a creation of the 'developed' countries who 'know better' than the natives. Something that proves time and again not to be true. People are not numbers, and Excel sheets can only do so much!

If we look at ourselves and our regimes, we'll soon realize that the IMF will only add to our misery.

But at any rate, if Hariri in all his might, during his best-relations-with-syria era couldn't push these plans on the people, do you think Hariri Jr. will be able to do so now? I very much doubt it.
