Jumblat Criticizes “Romeo” Nasrallah and “Juliet” Aoun

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat on Friday criticized the “love tragedy” between “Romeo” Hassan Nasrallah and “Juliet” Michel Aoun aired on Free Patriotic Movement”s Orange Television screen earlier in the week.

 

“On the eve of Saint Valentine”s day the Lebanese were impressed by the … love tragedy … and thought, for a while, they were watching (William Shakespeare”s) Romeo and Juliet play in which Nasrallah played Qais (The Arab analogous to Romeo) and Aoun Played Leila (Juliet”s Arab parallel,)” Jumblat said in apparent sarcasm.

 

He expressed “hope” in “expanding such impressing love scenes to reactivate institutes that have been closed and invest them in the interest of all the Lebanese.”

 

Addressing the leaders of Hizbullah and Free Patriotic Movement, Jumblat said in a statement: “We hope you give some of this blind love to a state that you have smashed its base, bombarded its principles, targeted its security and stability, closed its institutions, burned out its roads and occupied its squares.”

 

Jumblat concluded by the famous Arab proverb: “some love kills.”
