“Let no one ask us to tag as traitors our Southern 'Lebanese' citizens who entered Israel at a certain period, because the 'Lebanese' state has abandoned them. They are our brothers and we will definitely demand that they return to their homes, and families.”We value, and greatly appreciate MP Sami Gemayel's courageous, genuine and transparent stance in regard to our Southern Lebanese citizens who because of serious and imminent fears for their lives and the fate of their children were forced in May 2000 to take refuge in neighboring Israel. These citizens are not traitors by any means, but patriotic, noble, decent, and Lebanese par excellence.
