Are The Gemayels Racist?

August 6, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui

Well, That’s what Jamal, a friend, thinks. He even believes Aoun lost a third of Metni votes because he became sectarian.. just like Gemayel.

Are you wondering why the election results in Metn were almost 50–50? [..] someone advised Aoun that he needs to prove his Christianity. Victory was his as he out-Gemayyeled a Gemayyel, but now he must decide whether he wants to go back to running for President of Lebanon or to shoot for the Second Coming
