Israel accused of false flag terror car bomb in Beirut by Lebanon’s former PM

A violent blast from a car bomb wounded 50 today in a southern suburb of Beirut populated mainly by Shi’ite muslims. Many already believe this was a provocateured event, designed to cause a sectarian reaction in Lebanon, and one that is politically tied to the Syrian conflict.
In response to the horrific terrorist attack, Future Movement and March 14 Alliance political voice, former Lebanese Prime Minister, Saad Hariri - seen by many as an agent of Washington DC foreign interests, has seemingly done the improbable – issuing a statement which will surely create problems for Washington DC and anger the Israeli Lobby. 

Hariri has come out to directly implicate Israel in today’s attack – accusing the Jewish state of staging a grotesque bombing in order to inflame an already simmering political divide between Sunnis and Shias in Lebanon. The Daily Star reported Hariri’s bold statement today:

“[The blast] requires the highest level of awareness and vigilance in the face of dangers that surround the country and the entire region, especially while facing attempts by the Israeli enemy to push [Lebanon] to strife by organizing terrorist attacks, as happened today”.

Israel is expected to deny any knowledge of this terrorist event, and will certainly be expected to condemn its accuser in Hariri. Normally, this would be a viable move for the Israeli lobby providing that it’s ally the US is providing full political cover, but Israel can no longer count of the sort of unflinching political cover and support at every turn by Washington DC. Unfortunately for Israel, the US has since compromised its international political standing by its commitment to arming and training jihadists and Saudi/Qatari paid foreign insurgents in Syria, and is currently standing on shaky ground at home and abroad for its role in the planned destabilisation of Syria.US Congressional committees are already announcing that they will be holding up plans to send U.S. weapons to rebels, a situation which indicates that the policy is not viable anymore at home.

In addition, recent events in Sidon, Lebanon have demonstrated how cautious and collected the Lebanese have become in not rushing for the sectarian exits at the sound the gun. All this is bad news for western central planning, if indeed the goal is to drag Lebanon down into another civil war, as punishment for not disarming Hezbollah.

Today’s car bomb in Beirut arrives on the back of the tragic shootout only two weeks earlier in Sidon where radical Sunni Cleric Ahmed Al-Assir’s small army of jihadist  gunmen fired on Lebanese army checkpoints, prompting the army to raid Assir’s compound in a bloody battle that cost dozens of lives, including at least 12 Lebanese soldiers. This too, appeared to be a provocation by radical Sunni elements to push Lebanon into another sectarian crisis – with an aim to further politically isolate Shi’ite organisation, Hezbollah, over their role in assisting the Syrian government in dealing with the mostly foreign insurgency which has ravaged Lebanon’s neighbor Syria for over two years now. The stated intention of this violent attack by Sunni gunmen in Sidon was to punish the Lebanese government for not condemning Hezbollah for their paramilitary support of Bashar Al Assad’s government. In the end, it back-fired from a public relations standpoint, as the majority of Lebanese – rather than retreat into their sectarian corners, instead overwhelmingly rallied together in support of the government’s stand against this unwelcome radical terrorism.
