The Daily Star
Following are summaries of some of the main stories in a selection of Lebanese newspapers Wednesday. The Daily Star cannot vouch for the accuracy of these reports.
Al-Akhbar: Hariri: S-S [Syria-Saudi deal] included STL, weapons
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri appeared coherent Tuesday in the interview [with the local television channel MTV]. He did not stutter as people were used to, and he gave his interviewer quick answers.
Two reasons helped him: First, the papers in his hands which he did not hesitate to read to the audience as if though he were at a news conference or reading out a news bulletin. Second, his interviewer, Walid Abboud, who shied away from questions that would have embarrassed his host - whether on the crisis within the March 14 coalition or to inquire about the financial crisis Hariri is facing, a main reason that made him stay outside the country to resolve the issue.
One can infer from these two factors that the interview was prepared before Aboud’s arrival in France and was drafted by a personal Hariri team. The questions were "measured," and Abboud did not make use of any answer that would lead to more questions to respond to speculations about Hariri, his Future Movement and his allies.
Hariri’s first [television] appearance after months of seclusion did not bear many new stances. As expected, he adopted the slogans - justice, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the state and mini-states - and he saw the indictments were directed against individuals, while at the same time attacking Hezbollah.
Ash-Sharq: Hariri: Dialogue with Nasrallah only in the presence of witnesses, Nasrallah-Assad behind fall of my government
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced he would "return to Beirut as soon as possible,” adding that his “leave was voluntary.”
“I decided to leave [Beirut] and let the brothers form a government, because I'm always accused of anything that happens in the world," Hariri told Walid Abboud’s political talk show “objectively” on MTV Tuesday night.
Hariri did not deny that "threats existed since 2005, and those who assassinated [former Prime Minister] Rafik Hariri are trying to assassinate Saad Hariri. So I decided to leave and observe from a distance.”
Al-Mustaqbal: My comeback is soon, Mikati heads Hezbollah government, what is happening in Syria is injustice
Hariri to Nasrallah: 300 news conferences will not change anything in indictments
He looked “optimistic,” free from the burden of power that was not a day he wanted to hang on to – “not when he visited Syria nor Iran.” He put an end to misleading information and uncovered facts fabricated by Hezbollah, which is using power from its weapons to obliterate the truth and impede the march of justice in [former Prime Minister Rafik] Hariri’s assassination.
Saad Hariri assured Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon “will stay and no one can eliminate it … and even if Sayyed Nasrallah held 300 news conferences, nothing will change the indictments that were issued. "
Most notably, he broke the silence regarding events in Syria, saying that he as Saad Hariri, head of the Future Movement, son of Rafik Hariri and as an Arab citizen, is "sympathetic" and "is moved by the events in Daraa, Hama, Homs…," describing what is happening as “injustice” against the Syrian people.
Addressing Syrian President Bashar Assad, Hariri said: "No one is greater than his country."
As-Safir: Violent attack from Paris on 'Hezbollah' government … Mikati and Safadi
Hariri: Assad, Nasrallah toppled my Cabinet ... I will talk to 'Sayyed' [Nasrallah] in the presence of witnesses
As the new government of Prime Minister Najib Mikati geared up for work, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri appeared in a television interview with MTV from Paris via satellite, in his first appearance since the March 13 rally in Martyrs Square in Downtown Beirut, to announce a basket of stances on the government, the head of the government and Hezbollah, most notably that no matter what "Hezbollah "and its secretary general do, they will not change a single letter in the indictment," a comment that prompted a response from a senior leader in the March 8 coalition.
“We agree with Hariri that we are not going to change anything in the tribunal because the one that can change the alphabet and accusations are the Americans and the Israelis,” the senior leader told As-Safir late Tuesday evening. “Six years of experience have proven that.”
In the interview, Hariri said he did not leave Lebanon for security reasons and promised he would return as soon as possible.
An Nahar: Hariri to Assad and Nasrallah: No one is greater than his country
300 Hezbollah news conferences will not change indictments
The big internal political event Tuesday was former Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s television from Paris which included answers to all questions that surrounded his absence and his silence for weeks. The answers were more like a roadmap that Hariri outlined in dealing with issues such as the government, the indictments issued by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and Hezbollah's weapons.
At the same time, Hariri made a stance on the developments in the Arab world, particularly in Syria -which observers saw as "the first stance made by an Arab official in support of the popular movements in the region, including the Syrian people without interfering in the internal affairs of the countries concerned."
In the interview conducted from his residence in Paris, Hariri revealed that he would soon return to Beirut.
Hariri also vowed to topple Prime Minister Najin Mikati’s government by means of a "democratic opposition,” including demonstrations in the streets. However, he stressed to the Lebanese that the opposition "will not shut the airport or burn tires.”
Hariri noted that there was no mention of the Lebanese Army in the policy statement and wondered how the Mikati government would deal with a new law that gives Lebanese expatriates the right to vote in 2013.
The former prime minister predicted the fall of Mikati’s government. "It will not live until 2013 because there will be a strong opposition.”
Meanwhile, the Central News Agency quoted sources following up on the course of the STL, said a second batch of arrest warrants - between 14 and 17 - is likely to be issued at the end of July.

Syria step up Hezbollah rearmament.
Strategic missiles and Scuds capable of delivering one tonne of explosives to anywhere in Israel.
This isn't going to end well,

Watch this, after min 2:55. Baath party leader in Lebanon how he acts in a pharmacy with a lady and her assistant. Disgusting.
For those who don't understand arabic, it's also translated down the video (click the link)
Also for those who don't know Baath party, it's a Syrian party that is controlled by Assad family and his regime.

Fuck the Baath, and everyone that is associated with it, its a murderous regime with fucked up people. I just can't wait till the Syrians rid the world of Bashar and his criminal thugs, ba3dein enshofo rojolta hal kalb mustafa qawas, i hope the Lebanese catch him and beat the fuck out of him. Its time to purge the Baathists, we've had enough of their crap. I wouldn't mind if they were all thrown in gas chambers Hitler style.
Nationalism is rhetoric, you don't read enough books
All ideology is rhetoric, governments operate along a survivalist strategy not a social reform platform. Ba'athist Nationalism is just a particularly horseshit version that has played a direct role in encouraging anti-secularism due to the abject failure of Arab Nationalism. Obviously in tandem with the other autocracies.
It's the middle east, the powers don't want it just and fair and development, so it won't be.

Hezbolla supporters and thugs attacked a Bus yesterday carrying young men protestors that wanted to protest peacefully in-front of the Iranian embassy for backing Hezbollah and giving them orders to fight in Syria.
One got killed, and this guy happens to be someone I know since long time, he's Shiite but against Hezbollah. All he carried was a banner..
And then people wonder why civilians start carrying weapon to defend themselves like the rebels in Syria, if peaceful demonstrations gets you killed then why not carry a gun or a rifle while you're at it?
