If they ask you who is your President,

answer: "our President is Bashir Gemayel".

God is with you!

The Forces...

Crowd: Akim! Akim!

The Lebanese Forces

they are like the Bible.

In the Bible, you know,

There is the Old Testament and the New Testament.

In the past, what did it say?

They were the only ones to protect the eastern part.

And today, what's up?

They are the only ones to support the State!

I want a bigger house, more quiet, for the baby.

I need an axle to a BMW 325.

How much will it cost me?

40 dollars? Well. I'll send you Elijah.

Elijah.

Another receipt without stamp.

What will I say to the IRS?

I looked everywhere. I found only in the suburbs.

There is a roadblock every two meters. Getting in and out of there is a mess.

The transmission was vibrating and clutch his skating.

I just changed.

They can't even copy the brand. It lacks the "S" key to Bosch.

You just trashed.

The German used is better than the Chinese again.

I want you to finish the job quickly!

And get that cord.

And they, what are they doing there? There why is it so?

Have to climb on the fourth floor, talked with neighbors.

Leader! -I'm listening.

Park and pours the contents about eight cm thick.

Man: the road is blocked. -Still?

Boss, can you hear me?

BELL

There is a problem with its eaves. We have to check.

What's the matter?

The water falling on passers-by.

Walk on the other side. The road is wide.

Toni, what's up?

You asshole!

Look, Mr. Toni,

If I understand correctly,

his pipe protruded from the balcony. He tried to repair it

and she broke it.

Is my balcony. It's my home.

The municipality asking us to correct infringements.

His pipe is illegal. She did her job.

Is no reason to insult me.

No, of course.

If you believe a big mistake.

I warn you, you have to apologize.

Otherwise it complains against his firm.

No need to go that far.

Now I got it.

I'll fix the pipe.

She doesn't fix anything.

We are in their neighborhood.

We can't talk to him like that.

You have to bear them.

He wants an apology.

Waiting for you. Apologies and mending his gutter.

RINGS

Hello?

When they finish the work?

In two months. I hired Yasser for this.

Is efficient.

Knows how to do his job.

And a little Moody. It is sometimes short-tempered, but not bad.

You know, times are tough.

Are all angry.

For this we must relativize.

Tell Mr. tones that Yasser is desolate

and apologized.

Thank you. Shouldn't bother.

It's nothing. I hope you love the chocolate.

Male or female?

Female.

When are you due?

At the end of the summer.

II September 28.

Very good. It's not as hot.

-Steel for this wall? -Half a ton.

-Why? -Makes three.

KNOCKING-On.

Mr. Toni! Wait, please.

Let me tell you something.

I thought it was resolved. It's not.

He hoped to manage me through my wife?

I was looking for her.

- The chocolate didn't warrant him. We've sent us, so what?

- Do not leave more scrub. - What's he talking about?

I asked for an apology! He would have had to have them!

Some people find it difficult to apologize.

But it doesn't mean they don't recognize their wrongs.

Because of the abuses of their leaders,

The Palestinians in Lebanon are no longer welcome,

They must try to shop around.

May they find another territory

to live,

far from Lebanon.

That create their own country,

they agree to take care of themselves,

their dispersion in the Arab countries,

that unite to Jordan

or go to Iran.

TOGETHER The important thing is that do not remain here.

Cheering crowd

How is work going?

Very well. Norway has donated a school Pearl generator.

Over there, if someone chooses to live to 1,000 km from the city,

as the State provides electricity, water, internet and gas.

We are very far from Norway.

Things are complicated.

He has no intention of giving up.

If complains, I have to tell the direction.

I do not want, and you know why.

About Lawsuit?

What is it?

A misunderstanding with a resident. Nothing serious.

If the police intervene, we will have a problem.

We have to sort it out.

Can anyone explain me?

A history of the gutter.

Her husband repairs the pipe, the resident breaks it.

Yasser waters, which says "asshole".

He wants an apology.

'It started with the insult or the gutter?

This is not the problem.

My husband is a right.

Her husband lost his temper.

We settle the matter once and for all.

I want to apologize.

Did you understand?

Listen, Yasser,

They propose to restructure the refugee camp,

two years of work.

Let's not spoil everything for a stupid word.

Why is nothing more than a stupid word.

Tomorrow morning we go along.

Tomorrow is Sunday.

He works on Sundays.

Your master is likely for you.

Do you want to put me on my knees?

Show a bit 'of gratitude.

They are not the lackeys of anyone.

This is pride!

Stop thinking that they have it all with you.

We are targets.

- Who, us? - We, you, me.

We are the niggers of the Arabs.

Your master conspires against you?

Norway conspires against you?

Still Norway? Have you met someone?

Akkar and the people...

Good morning, Mr Toni.

It may come a time?

To do what?

There was a misunderstanding, I would like to turn the page.

Lebanese forced to wander homeless in the land of Lebanon.

For her it is a misunderstanding.

How does the Palestinian refugee

going from country to country, ruining everything in its path,

drinking in our wells and spits inside...

I ask personally.

He's waiting.

Why we keep fighting?

Why is there the Lebanese resistance?

Because Lebanese forces exist?

Because there are victims every day?

Because sometimes we are forced to put order into the country?

To put an end to abuses?

Because two-thirds of the country remain occupied.

Two thirds of the Lebanese driven from their villages by refugees living...

Mr. Toni is ready to turn the page.

Want to hear it from you.

You know what?

You're just a nation of bastards.

Otherwise you'd be excused.

You deserve your bad reputation.

As they say the Jews,

the Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

What are you doing?

Would you get fired?

I swear, I do.

Maybe Sharon had exterminated from firstborn!

Yasser!

Yasser!

Two broken ribs. How did it happen?

Someone beat him

due to a dumb pipe.

Breaths.

We're looking for, that animal.

- We will find him. -This is not the time, Elijah.

No efforts for two months.

You need a medical certificate?

Continue with the ice and rest. Good healing.

A Christian case against a Palestinian?

No lawyer will want to meddle. Who will accept the job?

I don't need a lawyer. I know I'm right.

No, you're right.

Not at all. Your words are unacceptable.

- That's how wars begin. - Dad, give him reason?

You're wrong!

He wanted to fix your gutter and you just humiliated.

To berate me for a gutter?

They have ruined the country and you berate me for a gutter.

Why did not you go?

We have no right to enter the Palestinian camps.

What rights do you have?

'It's a political case.

As you wear off the field?

With a bait?

It is hidden there.

If you subtract to justice, we spiccheremo an arrest warrant.

But you can not stop it!

All crooks are hiding there.

Let me do my job.

I would be in jail already,

but he, however, stop the mail.

Why it is Palestinian!

It sucks!

Insults the police?

Not the police, the situation.

- Yes, "perhaps Ariel Sharon ..." - I did not say Ariel ".

How could you tell that to a Palestinian?

- You do not understand. - Thing?

Easy for you, but not for me.

In that world of the living?

- You worry peril baby? - I do not want to live our lives.

Me neither,

but we are forced, and you do not want to change.

Can I help you?

Sono Yasser Salameh,

I have come to give myself up.

Retreat to the lawsuit.

Yasser released from prison, and everything returns to normal.

- She continues to defend it. - He is a good person.

He does not deserve this.

His place is not in prison.

We will not solve this case

pretending to love each other.

It does not work like this.

It might work.

I'm not Jesus Christ, I do not turn the other cheek!

Cause No. 23: Toni Hanna against Yasser Salamé.

She is the plaintiff, Toni Georges Hanna, Lebanese,

born October 7, 1970?

- Yes. - It is domiciled in Beirut?

- Yes. - Bring in the accused.

- He does not want a lawyer? - No.

Mr. Toni,

She says that on 2 July, Mr. Salamé insulted her.

A week later, at 8:30, in front of his workshop,

He has broken two ribs.

- Yes. - The quotes for physical and moral damage.

- Yes. - How asks peri moral damage?

- What do you mean? - How much money?

I refer to the Court's decision.

Also he asks for a "recognition." Explain.

I want to recognize his error.

- Must make... - I decide the court.

I want to apologize, I want to hear it from his mouth.

- Did not the lawyer? - Because I'm right.

Just because you think?

Signor Yasser,

how to respond to the accusations?

Guilty? Not guilty? Guilty justified?

- Guilty. - Mr Judge,

I can talk to Mr Yasser?

She's his lawyer?

- His boss. - Sit down.

- Do not know the laws... - Sit down, please.

Sig. Yasser,

pleading guilty, she admits the facts.

Yup.

As usual, I watered my plants.

I did not know he was down. Suddenly...

Why he has not looked to see if anyone passed?

He did not know that his system was not up to standard?

- In Beirut so. - Answer.

He knew it was illegal?

No, I did not.

When the company came to repair, because he refused?

I did not want workers in my house. My wife was alone.

He had other problems at home?

- A power failure. - And what did he do?

I called the electrician. It was the switch.

The switch is in the apartment?

- Yes. - So the electrician came into the house.

- Yes. - And his wife was home alone?

Yes but...

Thank you, Mr. Toni.

Sig. Yasser,

for five weeks it is restructuring Fassouh district.

- Yes. - How have they received?

Good.

He knows that every neighborhood has its sensitivity,

political, religious...

It has taken into account?

- Yes, how?

I asked the workers to pray in a secluded parking lot

- not to disturb anyone. - Very well.

The contrast with Mr. Toni is really the first that has had?

Yup.

Explain to me why...

after five weeks of good relations with the neighborhood,

He gave the "asshole" on Mr. Hanna?

I threw him bathwater.

He says it was an accident.

I was just doing my job.

Why you did not apologize? The left time.

I did not feel the need to do.

Then, on July 9,

He went to his workshop and beat him.

It is premeditated aggression.

I wanted to apologize.

Why did you change your mind?

Answer. Because?

Did I mention that I am guilty.

I want to know what caused that gesture.

There in the minutes.

- He said certain things. - Which things?

His silence no favors.

The charges against her are serious.

What did she say to him?

- He's interrogating him. - Now I turn to her.

If my words have hurt, the repeat.

- What did he say? - He did not beat me.

His words have caused.

And his silence means he did not deserve that beating.

I do not think that it all started as a gutter.

There I put the question.

Sig. Toni?

Sig. Yasser?

Very well.

The court considers

that the documents presented are not convincing...

How "not convincing"? And my wounds?

- Do not interrupt me. - Do not make a lump!

Do not tell me what to do.

Nothing justifies aggression!

According to whom?

According to Article 554 of the Criminal Code,

"A person is guilty if it does ..."

I know what the law says.

"punished with six months in prison and a fine of 50,000 pounds."

Mr Toni, please.

- "And if the beatings ..." - Mr Toni!

- It's past the limit. - It's the law.

The law was violated with that pipe not up to standard,

which then he broke once repaired.

Case dismissed!

- It's not right. - Mr Yasser, she is free.

It fulfills a criminal who has admitted his guilt.

- Get out of the classroom. - First I want a fair trial.

Get out or I can stop!

On what charge?

Throw him out!

BUZZ

She is a corrupt judge and a cheat!

Do not set foot in this court or in another!

Palestinian Being paid!

Shirine: Toni! Tell me where you wear it. TONI: I complaint!

You did not expect?

Also because none of you have told the truth to the judge.

The truth is that I hit him for an insult.

If it was so simple, you'd still be in jail.

The judge was biased. It so happens that it was in my favor.

No, she realized it was not just a history of the gutter.

Wherefore hast thou the judge?

- It was partial. - Respondents, but not insulting the judge.

They are all accomplices.

That Palestinian chuckled.

- It did not seem. - How do you know it?

Why you not denounced you!

He had the verdict in your pocket!

The humiliated people they blame themselves.

Really?

Tomorrow we fight, I beat you,

I'll break your bones, your head gap,

but I do it because I hate.

- Try a little '! - And an example.

Do not talk like that! I do not care of your anger!

It was just an example!

Doctor prepare a report on the health of Hanna.

- I asked him to say... - "To try."

that their complications are the consequences...

The consequences of "direct" aggression.

Choose well the words, we are in the Court of Appeal.

The Mr Hanna arrived.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

We know what happened. What he said to the judge is serious.

- I lost my temper. - It's normal. It is a victim of injustice.

I'll give you a hint:

next time, do not go without a lawyer.

I did not want to go to court,

I just wanted an apology.

And he refused.

She gives him the time to apologize and he beats her.

It's inexcusable.

He beats a Lebanese citizen. I do not accept.

You confessed.

To ensure the acquittal. And skilled people in cheating.

They know how to reverse the roles.

They are aggressors and victims are believed.

You know from whom they learned.

I did things that I should not do:

I watered it on purpose,

I went to the workshop,

I took the weight...

Sig. Toni,

she came to visit me, right?

- Yes. - Please, let's focus on that.

Lawyer, I want a fair trial.

I do not want to win sympathy.

He believes that Wajdi Wehbe win the compassion processes?

Jessica.

Lngiurie, physical and moral damages for her, his wife and his daughter.

We ask $ 80,000 for physical and 40,000 for moral damages.

I do not care about the money.

What does he want?

When it's over,

I want him to be told that they are 100 times worse than Ariel Sharon.

A question.

Because he said: "Maybe Ariel Sharon had exterminated you"?

I did not say Ariel ".

If the judge asks him what answers?

He did well to tell me.

This is not an argument. And a very heavy sentence.

What he said is monstrous.

I do not understand.

Addressing the Palestinian cause and enter another world.

The UN, NGOs, humanitarian organizations,

all are on the side of the Palestinians.

And do not forget that many people hate us.

The left, liberals...

Moreover, many are Christians.

They are all ready to throw himself into the void to defend Yasser Salamé.

It is fashionable to defend those people.

Even if his opponent wants to solve amicably,

try to dissuade him.

My daughter is in the incubator,

He can not breathe on her own, you know nothing.

- Even my wife... -TonL

I want to reflect on what he said.

It is on this that will trap.

Not who's the asshole, who poured water or who brought him,

but because he said: "Maybe Sharon had exterminated there."

CONFUSED VOICES

Mr Yasser, let me know.

Because refuses to repeat the words of Mr. Toni?

My husband is not a spy.

The court will not judge its integrity.

I said, "asshole."

He can not compare "asshole" to "Sharon was to exterminate you."

He said: "Maybe Sharon ..." - What's the difference?

That "Maybe he murdered, beaten there, loved ..."

Are just words.

So why is it angry?

These words change everything.

Insult his identity. Legally it is a hate crime.

All hate and insult everyone.

Insulting someone's identity involves sanctions.

He can sue him.

- I beat him. - For what it said.

Plus she went to him to apologize.

It has a problem with me, so what?

According to Article 228 of the Criminal Code,

the person who commits an offense can be paid

if it acts in an extreme emotional state,

capable of altering his judgment.

Never mind my emotional state.

Her daughter is between life and death.

For that you need a lawyer.

I can not pay it.

His opponent calls,

because in case of complications for him and his wife,

or if the child dies,

it would be manslaughter. He risks 10 years in prison.

0 controls the situation or leave it checked.

But he can not ignore it. Think about it.

Why does he do?

Because your rights are often violated.

And this will save my daughter?

Come?

Do you plan to buy us with flowers

Of course not.

Tell your fucking deputy that we are not for sale.

I do not care who wins.

For a stupid accident, look at how we are reduced.

I never forsake the process!

You win the process, the other will have a life sentence. And then?

- Not bad. - And your daughter?

- My daughter what? - You asked what he thinks?

It perils own good!

I do it for you, Pearl our family.

You do it just for yourself!

Are you ready to smash everything, but not to turn the page.

Do you know what? I hope you get what you want.

He studied at the American University of Cairo,

degree in Civil Engineering.

He worked for Bechtel in Kuwait, then to Dubai.

In 1982 he settled in Beirut

and he met his wife, a Lebanese...

Christian.

This does not surprise me.

Lawyer, the dossier of the defense.

A traumatic pneumothorax occurs

when the pleural cavity that surrounds the lungs is perforated.

You see, it was literally impaled

from one of the broken ribs.

The result is acute pain,

difficulty breathing and tachycardia.

Dr. Bedran,

is a serious thing?

The pressure on the lung may result in damages

and affect other organs.

Can you explain what has undergone Ms. Hanna?

Hospitalized emergency

for premature labor.

She could lose the baby.

Why?

The cause...

The direct cause

was the shock at seeing her husband's lifeless.

An emotional shock can cause a miscarriage?

Absolutely.

The effort could cause contractions,

when she dragged her husband to the car.

Thank you, Dr. Bedran.

Dottor Khawam,

Whether Mr. Hanna respected the prescribed rest,

suffered traumatic pneumothorax?

Hardly.

So he caused him.

Objection!

Mr Toni, has complied with the recommended by the doctor rest?

I worked in the workshop. I have bills to pay.

It has nothing to do with the cause.

Can you describe what movements performed?

I brought a heavy battery. I felt a twinge and crashed.

These movements can cause a pneumothorax?

Certainly.

But the split is due to the injuries of his client.

Do not have complications that occurred.

No fracture, no complications.

Even if he had listened to the doctor.

Objection!

Let her finish.

The Mr Toni said that the premature birth

It is due to the shock of his wife when she saw

and contractions that took dragging him toward the car.

Here are the reports of the hospital.

They concern Mrs. Hanna. They are dated 2013 and 2014.

See ", please.

As you see, Mrs. Hanna had two abortions, the third and fifth month.

Dottor Khawam,

a woman with these precedents

It may give birth prematurely without external reasons?

Yup.

No further questions.

- It was necessary? - These are the facts.

He had to.

They are accused of a crime!

Entering the private people,

esperia in public, this is not done!

So how do you do it? If they attack us, we attack them.

I do not want this!

As an engineer, he has experience,

but being Palestinian, he has no right to work.

I hired as foreman.

How many workers you had?

Between 60 and 75.

How would you define the work of Mr. Yasser?

Meticulous.

It ended always on schedule.

We called him the "Rooster", because they are coming when the rooster crows

and he went after the last call of the muezzin.

- So he was satisfied with his work. - Yup.

What was the duration of his contract?

- 18 months. - How much time is left?

Six weeks.

Six weeks?

Because?

One day he cut the cables that were on the roadway.

Another time he ordered a crane. A Liebherr.

Without authorization. It cost $ 800 more per day,

because he did not want the other cranes.

One day it exploded like a bomb.

He took a sledgehammer and smashed the facade.

- How are you? - What happens?

A member of the Lebanese Forces involved with a Palestinian.

It embarrasses, plus it's dangerous.

That day, I decided that it was over.

- He had the remorse? - Ask him.

If I understand correctly,

she assumes the office. Yasser,

the helps and eventually, he betrays.

Yup.

I was very disappointed.

It was ungrateful.

Lngrato?

I risked taking it.

Sa, who hires a Palestinian,

is accused of trying to sell here half a million Palestinians,

and she knows what it means.

No, can you be more specific?

If we give them work,

no longer want to return to their country.

The Israelis are happy, and that makes us accomplices.

Thank you.

No further questions.

Lawyer Nadine, her witness.

Mr Salah, you mentioned an inclined pillar,

that turned Mr.. Yasser in a "bomb".

What would have happened if he had not seen?

- could collapse. - It would hurt people.

It is probable.

She says that Mr. Yasser has leased this thing for $ 800.

- What was it? - A Liebherr.

Liebherr.

What is a Liebherr?

- A German crane. - A good cranes?

She is German.

Because he did not use the other cranes?

It is Chinese. For him, the Chinese do Craps.

He said to have about 75 foreign workers.

Yup.

I suppose I do not have social security,

health insurance, layoffs, etc.

No company so provides.

And them as they obtained?

He had an idea. Workers recycle old iron

to sell it to the company.

- So they got the sickness insurance fund. - Yup.

Suddenly, his company has...

With the excuse that Mr. Yasser loves perfection and compassion,

It justifies the aggression?

I say it's not aggressive by nature.

For nature? Now let's talk about nature?

So why are we in front of a judge in Beirut?

We'd better lie down on the couch of a psychologist.

I would have paid more.

Lawyer Wajdi, let talk about his daughter!

BUZZ

She's his daughter to the defense!

Wajdi: Nothing changes. - How can you change anything?

He knows his methods, his strategies, has a good teacher.

What strategies? He thinks it's a game?

A father against daughter?

Mr Hanna, the mobile phone.

I am not convinced.

Wajdi: him, yes.

Spring this case.

For you everything is a battleground. I have not grown up with war.

- I'm not like you. - Your mother would be appalled.

DOOR THAT BEATING

For the sake of your children,

because they do not end up as a refugee,

because they do not behave like the Palestinian refugee

going from one country to another, destroying everything in its path,

drinking from our wells and spits inside...

That morning, Yasser Salamé went by Mr. Hanna apologetically.

Hearing this, he changed his mind. It is comprensible.

It is a patriotic speech.

For a Palestinian and acrimonious.

Vindictive? We often hear: "The road to Palestine passes from Beirut"!

II My client did not say.

II he did not make that speech.

Always feel resentful speeches,

incendiary speeches,

subversive speeches, sexist speeches.

I hear speeches even in front of my mirror.

- confirm. - Do not exaggerate.

The court will allow me...

Lady Judge,

we are in the Middle East.

This is where the word "vicious" was born.

The Mr Toni does not take into account all these feelings.

It's not his problem.

Let me finish the defense!

I can reveal passwords that prompted Mr. Salamé to beat Mr.. Hanna?

You are welcome.

The words are these:

"Maybe Sharon had exterminated there."

CONFUSED VOICES

Silence in the court!

CONFUSED VOICES

Calm!

Sig. Toni,

He knows that these words contradict the dignity of Mr.. Yasser

and constitute a hate crime?

A hate crime? For a humiliation?

What humiliation we speak?

That of 1948? 1956? The Six Day War?

Del Kippur? 1982?

These are humiliation!

II My client is not responsible for these incidents.

The Palestinian tragedy is not an accident.

It is no accident, for us it was a catastrophe!

CONFUSED VOICES

Silence!

Get close.

You must calmiate.

Be reasonable.

Excuse me, I was angry.

Wajdi, a bulletproof vest did not put it. I warned you!

CONFUSED VOICES

Today at the Palace of Justice,

where the supporters of the Lebanese Forces have dealt with Palestinian refugees.

What channel?

New TV. We would like to invite you to join us in the studio.

We can send her a taxi.

I'm at the hospital.

No problem, we send a crew.

I have to think about it.

It was obvious!

Your attorney is presumptuous. It's ridiculous.

Wajdi Wehbe fights to the end.

The kidding because it denies the reality.

You're a puppet in his hands.

Lets not pass anything without contest.

Really? Because he said that the Palestinians were a catastrophe?

He got angry.

I do not understand. A renowned lawyer, who defended the leader of the Party,

accepts a case at all, and for free?

For you it's nothing. For me it is all about.

- How so? - It's a question of truth.

Which truth?

You caused this man, and you're injured while working.

It is that what you think?

I was humiliated in public because of you!

Disorders the child.

He feels, moves only.

Really?

In your stomach he felt and not here?

Sig. Toni?

I work for a security agency.

If you need protection, you call us.

Newspapers!

Do not respond nor to applications or to provocations,

we enter directly.

CONFUSED VOICES

It's a smear campaign? - No, it's a tribute to Wajdi Wehbe.

The opponent is his daughter.

Wajdi Wehbe encourages dissent.

Why he speaks in the third person?

It sounds better.

It attacks a Palestinian while Gaza and bombed?

You are here, not in Gaza!

He accepted this case because it has lost to Samir Geagea?

Thank you for coming to Beirut, Mr.. Ghandour.

I know that for her it is difficult to travel.

- It comes from Amman? - Yup.

- That's where you live? - YUP.

This man was full of energy, fit,

until the day when everything changed.

He is a prisoner of this chair for 45 years.

It happened in Jordan,

in July of 1971.

After months of fierce fighting,

the Jordanian army has eradicated the PLO in the Palestinian camps.

What was your role in this?

I was a cook.

Fought?

No, I cooked for the troops.

Can you tell us what happened?

At the end of the civil war,

When the PLO was driven out,

Palestinian refugees lacked everything.

We have a service organized to provide them with hot meals every day.

One day, there was an endless line,

endless.

The atmosphere was very tense.

A woman has come forward to be served.

While she needed to eat,

one of his children

He stole a piece of bread.

I asked him to make it,

but he refused.

I wanted to take it back by force.

He started yelling.

Suddenly,

a young man jumped on me and beaten me to a pulp.

I tried to defend myself,

but he beat her with anger.

It is keen on me fiercely.

He was also impressed with a pot.

I fainted.

When I recovered, I could not move.

Cerebral hemorrhage due to blows.

What happened to that young man?

He crossed the border.

The Jordanian army closed his eyes on the Palestinian fighters fleeing.

They did not ask better than to see them off.

Recognize this man?

Sig. Mohamed,

can you tell us who this man is?

A life broken by the defendant's brutality.

What Yasser Salamé has inflicted on this man

shows its deep nature

and rehearsed for his history of violence.

Violence is the only way in which it operates.

It is unacceptable.

This man is dangerous!

If it is free, it is because history has played in his favor.

It escaped justice only through a political context.

And we are asked to acquit him again

because of the same political context,

the sacrosanct Palestinian cause!

Ln guys!

Silence!

Stay on the case, lawyer.

Did not Mr. paralyzed. Hanna, but he could have.

At this very moment, a baby is between life and death.

No further questions.

Your witness.

Sig. Mohamed,

when speaking of civil war refers to Black September?

It was a civil war.

For History, and Black September,

when your army attacked the Palestinian refugees,

killing an estimated 3,000 civilians.

According to agreed criteria, it is a massacre.

The militiamen mingled with civilians. We had no choice.

The Jordanian army had decided to do away with the PLO at all costs.

They had tried to assassinate King Hussein.

It was a state within a state, organized attacks on us.

They threatened the country.

And when you have driven them, they came here.

Silence or I do to clear the courtroom!

Mr Mohamed, said he was a cook.

- Yes. - But he was in the army.

Yup.

He wore the uniform?

Yup.

The Sig. Salamé could not know that she was not a soldier.

I prepared to eat.

The Jordanian army attacked a refugee camp,

kills civilians and militants alike,

then he decides to feed the survivors.

The oppressor gives alms in humiliating circumstances.

In this context, Mr. Salamé sees a soldier tear the bread into a baby.

He feels his blood boil in his veins.

II My client is not the bloodthirsty man you describe.

Yasser Salamé not indifferent to injustice.

In fact, he did not report what he said Toni Hanna,

although this would play in his favor.

He did not because that phrase is humiliating.

Those words have put my client in an extreme emotional state

and they moved him to react.

Article 228 of the Criminal Code:

"Although the defendant has exceeded the limits of self-defense,

It can be acquitted if he acted in an extreme emotional state,

that has deprived it of its gloss or of his will."

You asshole!

They agreed to work overtime.

You can reassure the deputy.

And for you.

What is that?

Aprila and business."

Because?

The deputy called me.

He does not want to risk it.

I tried to convince him.

You do not want you here anymore.

Shortness of breath

YELL OUT

CRIES

- Mr Yasser, she does politics? - No.

- He is a member of a party? - No.

- As an organization? - No.

She was asked to speak on behalf of anyone?

- No. - The PLO, Hamas or another party

they asked her to represent them?

No.

- So you do not represent anybody. - No.

Where was he when he beat Toni Hanna?

At his workshop.

- Who was there? - II my boss.

- Somebody else? - Nobody.

There were passers-by?

I do not remember.

He had a megaphone?

Toni Hanna had a megaphone when he said:

"Maybe Sharon had exterminated you"?

No.

He wrote on the walls, alerted the press?

No.

Then he uttered those words in private.

- Yes. - So he not made them public.

No defamation, no crime.

II My client has only made a wish.

He said "maybe."

Want is a crime?

But we joking? Would you condemn my thoughts? My dreams?

If you dream to kill her, I'm guilty?

Where will we end?

We do not judge the thoughts or dreams, but the words.

He just said: "Maybe Sharon had exterminated there."

These words will push Ariel Sharon to exterminate the Palestinians?

Sharon does not need the permission of Toni Hanna.

These words were only

of angry words in a dispute.

Words out of place, of course, but nothing more.

Freedom of expression is his legitimate right.

Sig. Yasser,

if you are offended,

go to court. That's where justice is administered.

The private rights of people do not believe in justice.

Toni is not responsible!

Blame those deprived of rights Yasser and his people!

Who is the aggressor here?

Lei, themselves. Yasser.

He put his hand against my client,

she has committed a crime.

The defense recalls the despair of the Palestinians,

as if they were the only ones to be persecuted.

And the Armenians? The Kurds, homosexuals, gypsies, artists?

Those who are not deprived of rights? I do not see them getting into fights.

Sig. Yasser,

the fact that she is a refugee,

a victim fled his country,

He does not give the right to violence.

Even if it were the most oppressed men,

this would not make her spokesman of justice!

CONFUSED VOICES

Silence!

And why all this fuss?

Because the Palestinian was exterminated?

0 because Toni said those words?

No. The reason is "Sharon".

If Toni Hanna had said:

"Maybe the Eskimos ..."

or "The Smurfs will have exterminated", we would not be here to debate!

Eskimos and the Smurfs have nothing to do,

We feel out of place

CONFUSED VOICES

Silence!

If he does a jew, it is a crime,

but if an Arab kills an Arab, it is in place.

As long as it remains in the family, it's all good!

- The Jews do worse. - That you say so.

You have no right to speak of the Palestinians!

Traitor!

Yes, Christians have committed these horrors.

You have collaborated with the Jews.

And with the devil! So? We were the resistance!

Not to mention the resistance, Zionist dogs!

Lawyer Wajdi, please.

Dad, be careful.

None of your business, go to defend it.

We are the first resistance. Long before you.

Dog Zionist!

That lawyer is a bastard, a Zionist dog. As his client.

This is our home! See you there!

Sig. Ministro!

Mr Minister, who has filmed in court?

We do not know who gave the pictures to the press.

We will strengthen the security measures. Thank you.

CONFUSED VOICES

Why involve the Jews?

These are his words, not mine.

They accuse me of sympathizing with Israel.

She started it.

You should defend myself.

What did you expect? A walk in the woods?

We are at war. In court. I asked if he was ready, he said yes.

I did not want to make it a political case.

She tried her.

I asked what he wanted and what he said?

"When it's over, I want you to find me 100 times worse than Sharon."

If it's too much, I'll stop tomorrow.

Toni!

Broken in the ass!

- Are you OK? - Yes and you?

Yup.

This poor young man

An arrogant lawyer believes that anyone who rides a scooter

is a Palestinian militant and deserves to be crushed.

You Toni Hanna accused of complicity with Israel?

It serves their interests. It's the same thing.

I call all those who support the Palestinian cause

to support Yasser Salamé.

YELL OUT

YELL OUT

They told me that you are good people,

you love your family and work hard.

I also work hard.

Disputes between members,

water problems, electricity, trash,

two million refugees,

terrorists trying to infiltrate.

We have to think about the country. Where will we end?

I asked you to come to put an end to the problem.

We are in court over this, Mr.. President.

And if regolassimo all out of court?

Lawyers pull long pearls.

They prance, flatters their ego,

but they do not care about you.

- They work hard. - But they do not help you reconcile.

Put aside your disputes, peril good of the country.

Which country, Mr.. President?

They hate this country.

We live in the same country. We are brothers.

No, we're not brothers.

Turn the page, here and now,

and we go back home happy.

Can not run.

- Of course yes. - It would not be sincere.

Among the sincerity and stability,

I choose stability.

I conclude this process.

- No she can not. - I am the President.

She is at the service of the state.

We pay taxes because she protects our rights.

The right to go to court.

You mean...

I do not care!

I talked to his boss,

with the police,

then there was the first trial.

I only asked for an apology and no one wants to hear.

She also takes their parts.

Because they all take their parts?

- I do not take sides for anybody. - They are better than us?

I do my best to save the country.

Punish not trouble them. Because?

They are the chosen people?

You want war?

Sali.

Put in motion.

AW | A MOTOR

Mr Geagea, let's get right to the point.

Toni Hanna said:

"Maybe Sharon will he exterminated from the firstborn."

What do you think?

We are not the Third Reich

to dictate to our members what they can say or not.

The words of Toni Hanna

reflect the position of his party?

Yes 0 no?

Today we have no problem with the Palestinians.

Watch what happens in the streets.

The war ended in 1990.

- But not in people's minds. - Because?

There was no national reconciliation.

Where this reconciliation and how it can be done,

until the warlords are in power?

Moreover, she is part of it.

I presented a public apology for the mistakes committed during the war.

Many consider that his party

It is the most violent, the one who has committed more errors.

Sig. Walid...

when you lose the war,

It becomes the scapegoat of History.

I would like to speak to Toni Hanna.

I know you hear me, Toni.

Do not think I do not understand your pain.

I know what you've experienced.

We can not change the past.

We can remember,

does not live in the past and let us checks.

And then?

The war is over.

If Bashir Gemayel was still here, he would tell us the same thing:

it's time to turn the page.

It is his party that asked Wajdi Wehbe to defend Toni Hanna?

No. REPORTER: But the defense has in the past.

But it does not work pearls Lebanese Forces.

Toni Hanna lives in Beirut,

Department 135.

But he was born in the department 112.

He changed the department in 1976.

He had six years.

Place of birth: Damour.

Why did not you ever tell me?

Did not they asked.

0 declined.

Toni Hanna does not want to talk.

Take a look, counselor.

Mr Toni, has never been part of a militia?

- No. - Have you ever used a weapon?

Even a shotgun?

I did not shoot anyone.

Have you ever attended a political rally?

At every meeting of the Akim leader.

He participated in the war?

No. I wanted.

I was too young.

- And if a war broke out? - We are at war.

A real war.

I do not know. Maybe.

It has something against the Palestinians?

"Maybe Sharon will he exterminated from the firstborn."

It is very humbling!

Offend your mother, sister, honor.

|| Lebanese lexicon is full of insults.

Why did you choose these words?

I'm impressed.

He has a real talent with words.

Should I take it in my office.

In the words of the defense,

she's gone too far.

From the first contact,

Mr. Hanna knew that Mr. Salamé was Palestinian.

- He knew that, right? - Yup.

Come?

- From his accent. - From his accent!

Any sensible person would not dare say that.

And if attacked her, it is because,

I quote the defense:

his words they put in a "state of extreme emotional".

Sig. Toni,

what village it comes from?

Can you tell us what village it comes from?

Damour.

- He was born there? - YUP.

And his parents?

- Also. - What was your father?

Manufacturer of bananas.

The famous banana Damour! Renowned today.

Can you describe his life at the time?

- Normal. - As would be "normal"?

- Normal. - In conclusion...

As in all the villages?

- Simple, calm, peaceful? - Yup.

Most of the inhabitants were Christians?

Exact.

When there was the last time?

- A long time ago. - Meaning?

A long time.

- 10, 20, 30 years? - More or less.

It is only 20 km from Beirut.

Stop. I do not need to go there.

It does not need, did not want... 0 can not?

How old is he, Mr.. Toni?

46 years.

Then in 1976 he was 6 years old.

Yup.

Remember the night of January 21, 1976?

- Mr Toni? - Can I speak to you privately?

- Not now. - You have no right...

Not now!

Judges Gentlemen,

I have here the images that I want to show.

What kind of pictures?

Images filmed in Damour between 9 and 21 January 1976.

They do not go with the process.

The defense told us

that the words of Mr. Toni are motivated by hatred.

I want to prove that this is the case.

He wants to appeal to emotion. And off topic.

She made us listen Bashir Gemayel

to appeal to emotion.

Can you describe these images?

To understand it is necessary to see them.

It was called "the sea's fiancée"

it was a nice resort,

with a clean sea,

vast banana plantations...

Life in the village was quiet,

simple,

a peaceful life.

That all it changed Friday, January 9, 1976.

Dozens of trucks loaded with fighters,

guns and rockets, they are headed to Damour.

With onboard 4,000 0 5,000 fighters.

The youth of the village, the Christian militia,

They have defended the village.

Most of the inhabitants of Damour, about 15,000 souls,

have taken refuge in the village of Sadiyat Island,

the Lebanese army

He could only send a few helicopter to evacuate them.

Families have been separated.

Was anyone in Sadiyat Island,

others were evacuated to the north.

Who could not reach Sadiyat Island, fled by sea

or along the railway.

Still others have taken refuge in churches,

like that of Sant'Elia.

| fighters have surrounded the city

and they gave the final assault.

On January 21

after a battle of 12 days,

Damour cade.

They entered the village, they captured many young people,

have them gathered on the square,

lined up against the wall

and they executed them.

They raked every street, every house.

The first victims were the Rizk,

the whole family was killed.

The orders were to spare no.

Entire families were executed.

Gli Abou Merhi, i Metni,

the Eid, the Abdallah,

i Kanaan.

Children,

mothers, fathers and grandparents.

The information is contradictory regarding the perpetrators of the massacre.

One thing is certain: it was a mixed bag

the National Movement members left

and Palestinian militias,

as A | Saika and the Yarmouk military.

The images you see are the only ones existing.

Most were filmed by fighters

to remember their heroism.

More than 500 dead, 22,000 displaced.

It all happened in a matter of days, quickly.

After that, they reopened the highway to Damour,

as if a truck had overturned or had run over a dog.

I know what you're thinking.

We're used to just seen pictures.

Do not strike us most.

And maybe you're right.

But you can say

to the victims?

0 to their families?

The house Toni Hanna was 500 meters from the village.

Georges Hanna had little choice to escape.

LIVE BREAD IN THE DISTANCE

HORN AND SCREAMING PEOPLE

To her, lawyer.

40 years ago, a massacre was perpetrated in Damour.

An atrocious massacre

which forced thousands of families to flee.

The Mr Toni Hanna is among the lucky ones who survived.

What happened remains buried.

Those responsible remain unpunished.

No justice, no investigation. Anything.

We can understand why Toni Hanna said those words to Yasser Salamé.

He wanted revenge.

For Toni, Yasser is guilty. Guilty by association.

We all have difficult times,

where emotions take over,

as in the case of Toni Hanna and Yasser Salamé.

Yasser Salamé reacted to the words which offended his identity,

its history and that of his people.

When you exceed the limit,

and those words have exceeded all limits,

We must expect a reaction.

It's normal.

Èinev end ab fl e.

'And human.

Lawyer Wajdi, to her.

This morning I read an article

an American senator who has insulted a hostess.

She asked him to turn off his cell phone and he gave her the bitch.

The thing came to the White House.

In the end, the senator apologized publicly.

I wonder if the same thing is possible in our country.

If you can

resolve a conflict with due respect.

And the apology

they are not a form of weakness, but a form of civilization.

That's what he wanted Mr Hanna from Mr Salamé.

An apology.

Neither more nor less.

The defense claims

that the words of Toni Hanna offend the identity of Yasser Salamé,

its history and that of his people.

For this he beats him.

If Yasser Salamé is a refugee,

Toni Hanna is a refugee,

indeed more so, it is a refugee in his own country.

His life was overshadowed by the same suffering,

by the same tragedies, by the same injustice.

The difference

Toni and many others did not receive the compassion they deserve.

Rather, they have silenced them. They were excluded.

But we also know too much about what has happened to the Palestinians.

He talked so much of your cause

there is no place for anything else.

Of what happened in 1976 in Damour, Jiye, Sadiyat Island, Naamé,

you do not have the right to speak.

But what Toni said Yasser goes!

In truth,

those words are the result of a wound not healed.

What happens in this court

It is the beginning

the one that will allow us to accept the other.

Something must be said,

something real, fundamental.

No one has the unique suffering.

Nobody.

In the Court of Appeal, the verdict is imminent.

Da north was south

the army is on alert.

The verdict of the lawsuit against Hanna Salamé...

moments that the country has gone through in these last two months...

The Judge Colette Mansour admitted the public in the courtroom...

The verdict will change the situation of the Palestinians?

The process may create a precedent, recalling the Civil War?

The parties accept the verdict or recur in cassation?

How to react to the verdict, the man in the street?

The case that has shaken the country comes to an end.

He awakened iricordi civil war

and set fire to the powder in the streets.

The Judge Colette Mansour and the Court!

Standing.

II plaintiff and the defendant to rise up.

This result seems clear and obvious,

but it is anything but that.

'And a cause

in which two people claim to be victims.

They are flown words heavy and there was an attack.

Each one believes to be right.

Everything is going to know who is wrong

or those who have the least excuse.

The words exceed physical aggression

or both are reprehensible?

On principle, physical aggression is unacceptable.

Our laws are clear, and we do not own justice,

except in cases of imminent danger, then self-defense.

On the other hand,

is an insult to be as heavy as physical assault,

if the insult is offensive and disgraceful?

At one point, we considered both of you guilty,

but in light of the evidence presented by the two lawyers,

we returned to the origin of the problem.

Our verdict is made with 2-1 majority vote.

This court declares Yasser Salamé

not guilty.
