-- A Syrian was exposed live on TV today taking part in the Lebanese protests in Beirut.

He was trying to hide his accent by claiming he was from Tripoli, north lebanon.
-- Alireza, a propagandist in DC for the pahlawi monarchy, not only lies about Iran but also about Lebanon.

1. The protests are against the government led by USA's ally Saad Al Hariri, the riot police and interior minister are loyal to Hariri too.

2. The video shows them storming Alfa, telecommunication firm, shop. Alfa and MTC are corrupt and under investigation led by a parliamentary group led by Hezbullah's political block.

3. The president is Christian, the prime minister is Sunni, the parliament speaker is a Shia from Amal Movement, and the chief of the army is Christian. Hezbullah doesn't have any important seat in the Lebanese system.

4. Lebanon's security forces and Army are supported and equipped by USA and Europe.

Etc etc .... Alireza I feel sorry for your employers.
