Bambi learned from l’Orient Today that the head of the Iranian-sponsored Lebanese Hezbollah militia prefers another round of war to disarmament (https://tinyurl.com/wm45b2rc). Indeed, Mr. Qassem does not seem to understand that his country cannot take it anymore. At one point, he must learn to accept defeat and cut his losses. Will this ever happen anytime soon?
At one point, Mr. Qassem has to let the suffering of the innocent people be a turning point for change: is this the vision he wants for “his” Lebanon and for his own organization? Is war what his fellow citizens aspire to transmit to their children? What about all those who want love and peace, not absurd wars?
What about those who, contrary to him, are grateful for the recent political support of five embassies who joined forces to show their care for Lebanon: the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK, and Japan. Why is he insulting these countries because they expressed concerns for the safety of the innocent Lebanese people?
The population of Lebanon is being taken hostage by the military suicidal adventures of the Hezbollah and by the Lebanese government who is still not standing up to this militia? And what to say about the occupation and the continuous war in the south?
Sadly, nothing can be said about the frustrating and worrisome troubles of Lebanon. So how about ending this post with Mr. Nicola Ciccone’ s thoughtful song on the choice of peace and love? For those of you who don’t understand French, if you are interested, below you can find an English translation of the lyrics (taken from an older post).
“They are more than six billion
And we are only two
To want love
Be the greatest of the gods
They say we are crazy
That we do blasphemy
But we stay standing
We never believe them
They are more than six billion
And we are only two
To see that all these wars
Only serve heinous acts
They say we are cowardly
That they will put chains on us
But despite all their rages
We choose peace
Of course there are days
Where we lose heart
Of course there are days
Where we shipwreck
But despite all these days
Despite all these outrages
We believe that one day
That one fine day
They are more than six billion
And we are only two
To believe that all men
Have the right to be happy
They say we are deaf
That hell is on earth
But despite their insults
We believe in tomorrow
Of course there are days
Where we lose heart
Of course there are days
Where we shipwreck
But despite all these days
Despite all these outrages
We believe that one day
That one fine day
We will be six billion
And they will be nothing
We will unite our dreams
Our joys and our paths
We will go without detours
Rediscover the light
We will be six billion
And they will be nothing.”
