Tensions boil over in TV row By STAFF REPORTER Published: 16 Nov 2011
TWO Lebanese politicians came to blows during a heated debate over the conflict in Syria — hurling insults and even chairs at each other live on TV.
The men, Moustafa Alloush and Fayez Shukur, were discussing the relationship between Syria and neighbouring Lebanon on Monday night when the debate descended into chaos.
The fight broke out after Alloush, a supporter of former Syrian Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri, branded current President Bashar al-Assad a "liar".
Shukor, the leader of the Lebanon branch of Syria's ruling Ba'ath party led by Assad, shot back: "You're boss is a liar" referring to Hariri.
Shukor then shouted at Alloush: "My shoes are more honourable than you."
Alloush replied: "Shut up and eat s***.",
Shukur blasted back: "You eat s***."
He then jumped from his seat and threw a glass of water at Alloush before picking up a chair.
The show's host then intervened and the programme cut to an advert break.
The video clip went viral yesterday.

TWO furious MPs go nuts throwing furniture and water in row over Syria
WOW! Tiger Woods pair loses 7 down with 6 holes to go .. 2 matches finished .. 1-1 .. one point each, President's Cup.
The Turks are upset at refugee influx, the Arab League is fed up with Assad, Russia has withdrawn their ambassador after an attack on their embassy, yet the slaughter goes on.
From the video, some Lebanese non-politicians have more maturity and common sense than some politicians who should know better.
LOL, as about everywhere.
The Syrian situation is a nasty one with brave people being killed.
By memory The Sun is as bad as the Daily Mail. Good night .. :) ..
Reports that the Syrian military is bringing up armor and heavy weapons to Homs .. http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/09/world/meast/syria-unrest/index.html .. has sparked fears that the regime intends to invade the city, as happened in 1982 when the military brutally went into nearby Hama to crush a Muslim fundamentalist revolt. Some 10,000 or more persons were killed in that action, most of them non-combatants, and there are fears of a similar massacre at Homs today.
The Arab League is still attempting to mediate a compromise to end the crisis. Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Alaraby is attempting to convince the Iraqi government .. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5i4Vtm-PcZKLmDe30TVCPdJPAeMRA?docId=CNG.872978138adbd6a3a03715ae2399a9c5.611 .. to pressure Syria to implement the Arab League plan. (Iraq imports a lot of food from Syria and has not joined in the organization’s economic boycott of Syria, and Shiite-dominated Baghdad has tilted toward the government of President Bashar al-Assad rather than toward his Sunni Arab critics.
In contrast, Some Arab League member states may be increasingly frustrated and impatient with Damascus, as the death toll mounts toward 4,000 dead (about a fourth of them government security men). Former Saudi ambassador to the US, Prince Turki al-Faisal, .. http://www.emaratalyoum.com/politics/issues/syria-latest/2011-12-10-1.444062 .. warned Friday that the Arab League would not allow this “massacre” to continue indefinitely.
