The most dangerous thing regarding the campaign once morest the head of the media and communication apparatus in the “Lebanese Forces” party, Charles Jabbour, is that it has not remained confined to the reaction of the “Hezbollah” audience and its activists in the cyberspace, but rather extended to the “Shiite Ifta Institution” and the clans in Baalbek-Hermel. On the other hand, he prompted the issuance of warnings of “exposure to him”.
The campaign began on Saturday evening, following Jabbour spoke regarding the “Tajliti doctrine”. The public revolted once morest Jabbour’s statement, saying it “harms the Islamic faith.” Jabour apologized, and said that he was the victim of a “misunderstanding”, and explained that what was meant was “Hezbollah”.
The campaign has not yet been clarified. Expanded beyond the default Twitter activity. A statement was issued by the “Baalbek-Hermel Clans and Families Gathering”, calling on the Lebanese state to arrest Jabbour “and impose the most severe punishments on him in application of Lebanese law.”
The assembly threatened to “shed the blood” of Jabour, “who was exposed to the sanctities and beliefs of the Shiite sect, and retaliated from him in order to be a lesson for everyone who begs himself to harm or expose the religious beliefs and conscience of any sect, and the religious and sectarian incitement that this causes, whose consequences only God knows.” In the statement, the assembly said: “If the judiciary does not act in the next 48 hours, things will take different dimensions this time, even if tomorrow is close to the observer, and those who have been warned will be excused.”
The threatening statement of the clans called for a solidarity campaign and warned once morest harming it. Former MP Fares Saeed blamed “Hezbollah” for attacking him. As for the “Media for Freedom” association, it condemned the statement that was distributed in the name of the Baalbek clans. She said that “this threat issued by an anonymous statement and the source, which impersonates the clans, is drawn up by the state and its apparatuses.”
For its part, the Sovereign Front for Lebanon said in a statement, “The campaign once morest its member, Charles Jabbour, hides within it a settling of scores in politics, and it is part of a systematic bullying campaign once morest our society, including media professionals, employees and businessmen, with the aim of intimidation and exclusion.”
It is clear that the description has taken on political and religious dimensions that go beyond the reaction. The excellent Ja’fari Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan responded to Jabbour without naming him, saying: “Who is his history of killing and slaughtering on identity, the barricades of sedition, division, massacres, explosive devices, and assassination of Lebanese leaders: the grim creed liberated Lebanon the day you sold Lebanon, and you broke the Israeli day when you were his sword, his eye, his guide and his partner and protected coexistence on the day you slaughtered him, from vein to vein.
And he continued: “The cognizant creed is the most proud of religions and the loftiest of faith,” adding: “Let everyone know that the choice of the Shiites and every free patriot begins and ends with resistance.”
Also, the Beirut Scholars Association denounced in a statement, “Insulting Muslims and describing their beliefs as stubbornness that belongs to the stone ages. This is something that cannot be tolerated under any pretext. This is a blatant and rude aggression, vulgar language and fanaticism similar to its absolute and the militia logic to which it belongs, which is full of murder and treachery. and displacement.”
An electronic campaign once morest solidarity with Jabbour was produced, in contrast to the ongoing campaign once morest him since Saturday evening, to prove that the division needs any pretext to erupt, and the pioneers of communication sites are nothing but fuel for the raging political campaigns ahead of the parliamentary elections.
