Bias[edit]

I dont even like geagea but compared to the aoun article its clear this article is against him —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miss-simworld (talkcontribs) 10:44, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, i myself too am not the biggest fan of Geagea as a person but this does not justify this atrocious bias. i'm currently reviewing the sources and fixing what can be fixed, your help is appreciated.Eli+ 23:10, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

thanks im not Lebanese but i have stuided and researched alot into lebanese history and there is alot of biases. Samir Geagea is not someone im fond of, the LF would of probally been better of with another leader but the article mostly mentions the negative aspects of his life their is little neutrality. As far as the LF are concerned even if i may not agree with their views I do understtand them why they have anti-panarab views i do sometimes understand were the anger to Syria,Palestinains is sourced --- the war .

but on the topic of bias i think the aoun article should reviewed there are too many biases in that article more than this one. Reading it the first and not knowing anything about Lebanon you would think the man is a saint and hero to most christians (Which currently since his alliance with hezbollah he isnt) i know for a fact that he doesnt have 70% of support,and it doenst mention the controvesry there was when he visited syria and claims of him defending Syrian Leader Assad or him changing his mind on hezbollah.

Geagea is no saint in my opinion but the aoun article should reflect it too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miss-simworld (talkcontribs) 23:37, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not going anywhere near Aoun related articles, any edit that doesn't please his zealots would spark a never ending edit war.Eli+ 04:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Professor Juan Cole from the University of Michigan has accused this article of lacking a neutral POV:

http://www.juancole.com/2009/06/march-14-faction-wins-in-lebanon.html

"Then there is the Lebanese Forces, which is a revival of a rightwing Christian group that played a very sinister role in the Lebanese civil war and after, led by Samir Geagea,who was convicted of terrorism. (BTW, Geagea's Wikipedia entry is pro-Geagea propaganda and an example of why wikipedia is worthless when it comes to controversial subjects)."

He links to a December 15, 2008 LA Times article by Borzou Daragahi:

I dont actually agree.. i find this article to be far from neutral! it is true that negative sides of geagea were put out but COME ONE let's face it, he didnt do too much good during civil war. Plus the Tal el Zaatar massacre, the Karantina massacre but mostly the SAbra and Chatila massacre werent even mentioned! That is a disgrace! I know a guy that used to fight near Geagea during the civil war and he openly told me that geagea was the head of Tony Frangieh's assassination (with Hobeika of course). HE has blood all over his hands —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hindhamdan (talkcontribs) 07:54, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is still very biased years later, especially the trial section. It says that Geagea was framed and that it was unfair that only he was not given amnesty for previous crimes. Wikipedia is not the place for that kind of judgment, it's supposed to be impartial and encyclopedic...J'onn J'onzz (talk) 18:11, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Juan Cole is a Far-Leftist and pro palestinian[edit]

That alone makes him bias. Palestinians didnt do much good either, but there is rarely a wikipedia article let alone sections within PLO leaders or members mentioning the massacres they did. Geagea isnt the only one with blood on his hand. Berri,Joumblatt,SSNP all have their share too, the difference is geagea is the ONLY one to be charged for them. Sabra Shatila had nothing to do with geagea that was HOBEIKA who led that massacre, tel zatar and karantina was an attacked against the PLO who based their strongholds within those camps(1000s of PLO fighters) were there at the time, this was in 1976 there was No LF then and it was SYRIA who facilitated those attacks with the phlange and yes many innocents died. but initially it was attack against the PLO who were basing terrorist activites within those camps to attack lebanese. it was back and forth retalitiaion,which the article should mention the palestinians started in the early 1970s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miss-simworld (talkcontribs) 19:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What SHOULD be mention if we are too be fair and negative to geagea is the incident with Karami,narh al moot incident(geagea is resposible for) and the war with the army(which ironically aoun started). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.38.77 (talk) 15:50, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring[edit]

Would someone please protect the page, vandals are unstoppable, writing defamatory content and politically driven attacks and propaganda is not acceptable, please stop user:Stayplus12 's fabrications, he clearly has no intent of refraining from vandalizing the page, i'm running close to my 3rrr.Eli+

{{editsemiprotected}}

 Not done This isn't the correct avenue for protecting the page. See WP:Dispute resolution if there's any argument about content (from the recent edits, I don't see a whole lot of dispute, if any, but I could be wrong). If you want the page protected you'll have to go to WP:RFPP, and request it be protected due to a dispute. But please don't waste people's time in looking at the matter if there's no major dispute, or if it can be worked out without a third party. Killiondude (talk) 16:32, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
