In a talk in B`aqlin, Walid Jumblat started a new practice. He now says: "King `Abdullah, may God extends his life." But you have to read the full text of this most rambling piece of political trash: he even refers to Chinese as "yellow race" and engages in the most wild Orientalist generalizations. He also describes King Husayn as "a gentlemen." Yes, so were the King's massacres of Palestinians in 1970 and 1971 gentlemanly? This is the political class of Lebanon. Woe to Lebanon, as Jubran would say.
