The supporters of Gen. `Awn are furious that Fayiz Karam has been convicted of contacts with the Israeli enemy. They are still defending Karam and insisting that the charges are trumped up. Hizbullah is staying quiet on the subject: as if they only raise their voice against agents who belong to the rival political camp. `Awn MP, Nabil Niqula, went on New TV raving and ranting: he was quite blatantly anti-Semitic and even referred to John Bolton as Jewish.
