	Walid Jumblatt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Walid Jumblatt (Arabic: وليد جنبلاط‎) (born August 7, 1949), is the current leader of the Progressive Socialist Party of Lebanon and the most prominent leader of the Druze community.
		Walid Jumblatt is the son of Kamal Jumblatt, the assassinated founder of the PSP, the party which Walid Jumblatt currently leads.
		During the Israeli occupation and subsequent withdrawal of Lebanon in 1982 and 1983, Jumblatt's militia, backed by Soviet weaponry from Syria and possibly with the aid of Palestinian guerillas, overran sixty Maronite villages, killing thousands, as a retaliation for Maronite hostilities that occurred earlier in the war.

		Jumblat is head of the Progressive Socialist Party and leader of the Lebanese Druze community, which comprises roughly 10 percent of the population and controls some 15 of 128 parliamentary seats.
		Jumblat himself has long maintained that Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms are Syrian, not Lebanese territory, a distinction that obviates the need for Lebanese "resistance." Hence, in Cairo, Jumblat suggested that there was no longer any justification for Hizballah to bear arms.
		Jumblat is an astute politician who does not appear to harbor a desire for personal martyrdom; in fact, he is taking precautions in Lebanon and abroad to protect himself.

	The Beirut Spring: Jumblat Strikes Again
		While some pundits speak of Jumblat's latest moves as necessary tactics to co-opt the loyalists and deprive them of excuses, it is not entirely unimaginable that Jumblat would just re-examine his alliances based on new givens.
		From Jumblat's point of view, the opposition would be a united front as long as the Syrians are in Lebanon and as long as Hariri’s murderers remain unreachable.
		Jumblat's position now is starting to look more like that of the future movement: chummy with the opposition but with a centrist and independent streak.

		Jumblat said Gen. Ghazaleh must be interrogated because as chief of Syria's military intelligence in Lebanon he could be the main suspected who plotted and executed the massive bombing assassination.
		Walid Jumblat has effectively accused Syria for the first time in public of assassinating his father, Kamal Jumblat, in a 1977 gunfire ambush in the Chouf region at the height of the first round of Lebanon's civil war.

		Walid Jumblat has suddenly applied the brakes, sending a drive to 'isolate then evict' President Lahoud from the Baabda palace screeching to a halt.
		Jumblat's change of heart came hardly 24 hours after he had ruled that the formal charge of Lahoud's 4 major security generals with complicity in ex-Premier Hariri's assassination "spelled out the end of the president's extended term."
		Some media analysts speculated that Jumblat could not win over Hizbullah to a vote in parliament to cancel the three-year extension of the Lahoud regime, which was taken Sept. 3, which means Speaker Berri's parliamentary bloc would follow Nasrallah's suit.

		Kamal Jumblat, a Druze and leader of the Muslim camp and of the left wing during the civil war, was also firmly opposed to the Syrian invasion, and was therefore accused by the Syrians of being a “traitor” and an “American agent.” He was assassinated by Syrian intelligence proxies.
		Kamal's son, Walid Jumblat, who is familiar with the circumstances of his father's death, today continues as a pillar of Lebanese opposition to the Syrians.

	The Beirut Spring: Walid Jumblat, Dictator
		It all started in Paris, when Jumblat met GMA in France, Jumblat considered the visit as a social one, while GMA expected it to be a political meeting after which Jumblat should have declared that GMA is the hero of the opposition, and he expected Jumblat to say (NATREENAK General)…..
		Jumblat being the apparent head of the opposition, with meetings with world leaders (Russia, KSA, France, etc….) bothered GMA as GMA believed that he should be heading the talks with these international leaders.
		Jumblat the smart “ele bishem” knew before hand that GMA was coming back to Lebanon expecting to lead the opposition, and enforce his rules… and hence came the famous word Tsunami.

		Jumblat's main complex in all of this was the potential strength of Aoun in a post-Syrian Lebanon.
		Walid isn't that ambitious, or daring, as his Druze community (let alone his political relevance) is dependent on the consensual system.
		Of course, Jumblat and Berri were natural allies in that regard as both of them held two very beneficial portfolios: the fund for the south, and the fund for the displaced.

	DELTA BLOG: Jumblat Pleads with Druze to 'Stay Sensible if I am Assassinated'
		Walid Jumblat has appealed to the population of the Druze hinterland to "remain sensible and calm" if he is assassinated next on the hit list that claimed the lives of ex-Premier Hariri, his economic advisor Bassel Fleihan, An Nahar's Journalist Samir Kassir and Communist ideologue George Hawi in the last five months.
		This was a reference to the throat-slitting bloodbath in which some 200 Lebanese Christian villagers perished after the assassinations of Walid's father Kamal Jumblat in the aftermath of Syria's military intervention in Lebanon to halt the civil war.
		Jumblat, who has been confirmed by the May 29-June 19 parliamentary elections as the standard-bearer of Lebanon's Druze community, said he wanted his funeral, if he is murdered like his father, to be like the million-strong farewell given to Rafik Hariri Feb. 15 and will be given to George Hawi on Friday June 24.
