As reported by L’Orient Today yesterday, Mr. Naim Kassem (Head of the Hezbollah) has warned that, in order to face of Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, “Lebanon needs resistance”… while reserving the right to decide on the relevant response “in terms of form, nature, and timing” (https://shorturl.at/KP32i).
Has Mr. Naim Kassem ever heard of a concept called “entitlement”? The latter literally means “the right to have, or maybe do, something“.
Of course, as an Islamist, Mr. Kassem is entitled to have his own opinion about any matter. However, as a citizen of Lebanon, not of Iran where he might be still hiding, he has a moral duty that he can no longer ignore: He can no longer impose his vision of the world on others. In other terms, it is about time to have his patriotic compass back to where it should have been in the first place: with the state of Lebanon and with his fellow Lebanese citizens. It would be also nice to have a thought for their relatives or friends abroad (wherever they are). Many, if not most, of them are like Bambi sick and tired of endless wars and of absurd, elevated mortality.
So, no Mr. Kassem, with all due respect to your own insights, Lebanon does not deserve a resistance that brought the occupation back. Lebanon deserves to be sovereign and to live in peace. Thank you.
Tout à fait d’accord avec toi Bambi 🙏😘
Bambi te remercie, Roula.
