Johnny,

There is some sort of agreement between the Lebanese and Syrian Judicial Ministries which Sayyed believes covers his charges and he filed his charges in Syria because many of those summoned would have total immunity in Lebanon.

Saying that, I’m not sure the Judicial agreement was ever expected to be used by a Lebanese versus another Lebanese and vice versa so I’m not sure how grey an area this is legalistically.

I’ve deleted the two most recent comments by AP and Mo because I don’t want this to turn into yet another yawn-fest about the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Thanks.

A completely unrelated question, but one I feel I’d find an answer to on this board.

Why did Jamil el Sayyed file his charges in a Syrian court? When one considers that all the charges contained in his suit were committed in Lebanon, by Lebanese.

Does Syria have a universal jurisdiction legal system that can try crimes committed outside its territory? And I thought universal jurisdiction only applied if it was a crime against humanity and not an individual human.

If this is the case can we bring charges against Israeli leaders in the Syrian court system? And why has no one done this yet?

Thanks.

“it’s a wonder they haven’t all been rounded up, charged with treason, and hung in Martyrs’ Square.”

Shows the level of our compassion….:)

But Nour is right about one thing. What is the point of these talks when one side is going into them as talks about how the resistance can be made amenable to the other, or at least find a way they can live with it, while the other is going into them as talk about how to disband it. They dont even agree what it is they are going to talk about! Its the Lebanese version of Who’s on first.

I am sick and tired of this baathist or Khomeini style blanket accusations of treason against anyone who criticizes or opposes the so called divine resistance
Really there is no sense in discussing anything with these people anymore.
They always win!

Nour said: "anyone who opposes the resistance is acting as an active collaborator. I guess a significant portion of Lebanon's population are "active collaborators" then. It's a wonder they haven't all been rounded up, charged with treason, and hung in Martyrs' Square.

I don’t really know what there is to discuss. The Resistance is not really a matter to be discussed; it is a national obligation and duty, and anyone who opposes the resistance is acting as an active collaborator. Besides, the Resistance is already well-armed and well-prepared for any future conflict, so what is the point of these discussions?

Last time around, in QN’s round table picture, delicious looking birds were displayed all over . This time around, not only there is a dead body in the middle, but no food whatsoever in sight! So WJ, who on this occasion was apparently not allowed to bring his gun in, had to simply leave when he, poor thing,”got hungry and sleepy”.

“They’re going around in circles and each camp is holding its ground,” he added. “It’s like a debating club: you argue but no decision is ever taken.”

Humm…And who is the -very tall, it seems- dead thing inside the coffin, under the white flowers?
