Lebanese Communist Party leader, Khalid Hdadah, was for some reason reluctant to identity the party that attacked communist and even the tombs of communists who fought Israel in the village of Kfar Rumman in South Lebanon. He finally named the offending party in an interview on New TV. Hdadah should not have covered up the case. There are stories around South Lebanon of harassment of communist and secular party members by Amal and Hizbullah. When the communists started the resistance against Israeli occupation of South Lebanon, Amal regional leaders were collaborating with Israeli occupation, and Hizbullah was not even born yet. They are in no position to act superior in that regard. Both parties engaged in the 1980s in attacks and assassinations of communists.
