This is for you Bassam Al-Quntar (brother of the "dean" of the Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails, Samir Al-Quntar). I know that you will be reading this. I can't believe your words in An-Nahar. Were you that desperate to see your name in print? Were you that eager to be quoted by a newspaper? What you said about An-Nahar was simply untrue. The newspaper NEVER took up the cause of Lebanese prisoners in Israel. This is the newspaper that promoted the May 17 Agreement, and it was the newspaper that questioned the right of the Lebanese to resist Israeli occupation of their country.
