The Politics of Hatred Again

One of the signs of an intrusive politician is that he orates in his hatred towards those who disagree with him in his political opinions. I will explain myself. By intrusive, I do not mean exclusively a person who had not entered the parliamentary assembly before, rather, any person who seeks to build a position for himself in his country on the basis of hatred. Am I claiming the ability to advise? I have a single word. “If it is proven to us that a candidate is orating in his hatred to others, it is a flaw to let him rule over us!” We all know that Lebanon is a diverse country, to the point of fragmentation. I am not talking about the ideological differences that we treat courteously, but rather about the vulgarity in accusing of treason those who disagree with us in what we do. He who thinks that, by insulting you, he can win me over, despises me much more than he despises you. We do not want people whose hatred will bring them to Parliament, rather, we want people who love this country. Homelands are built only by those who love.
