Now could you please specify the role of Hezbollah's weapons in such a process and the outcome of perpetuating destructive wars? What's hindering Lebanon from engaging in peace talks with Israel, which shall include the refugees problem?

they dont have to go back to the israeli state, they will be going back to a palestinian state. but the israelis wont even accept that. i personally dont mind resettling the palestinians fairly throughout the vast the arab world, but until then the weapons of HA should not even be a subject for discussion especially in internal politics.

now imagine the difference between having the Lebanese go to peace talks holding HA's weapons as a bargaining chip on the negotiation table, and between the Lebanese going to the negotiation table holding nothing but their *****.

the fact that the Leaderships of Feb14 are insisting on stripping those weapons internally leaves alot to be questioned. are they too stupid to realize the magnitude of the leverage these weapons can provide over peace talks? are they in on an international plot to strip us Lebanese the only bargaining tool we have against the permanent settlement of the Palestinians? or do they simply not care about the outcome?

either way shafic, and no matter how we look at it, the answers to those questions are not in favor of the loyalists.
