Charbil Nahhas on Syria

The brilliant former Marxist Minister of Labor, Sharbil Nahhas, was on OTV yesterday.  It was a dazzling performance: he subjected the Lebanese political system to thorough criticisms.  He also explained how Lebanon was run during the years of domination by Syrian regime.  He made a good point that Lebanon also influences Syria: he gave examples of how the lousy Syrian regime tried to mimic Hariri economics in Syria by creating "free zones" in and by creating replicas of "Solidaire" in Aleppo and Damascus and how this cruel capitalism fueled the Syrian uprising.  He spoke about his utter rejection of the existence of Israel but said that he disagrees with all the domestic policies of Hizbullah.  When the link becomes available, I should supply.
