Four years following the surrealistic Beirut port explosion, the same players are still “playing” “war”. In contrast with today, the war game between Israel and the Hezbollah may have been more covert in 2020.
Bambi may be wrong, but it is her belief that the August 4, 2020 Beirut port explosion was non-intentional despite the criminal negligence of some (without intending to harm their fellow residents/themselves/city) and the preventive war of others (not knowing about the ammonium nitrate).
Indeed, almost everyone Bambi spoke with heard airplane sounds in Beirut on August 4, 2020. However, as a reminder, the international community remained silent about the Beirut port tragedy while both players seemed to have protected each other by NOT pointing fingers at each other. This is contrary to their usual and current practice of accusations. However, since October 7, 2023 the war in the Middle East has been totally explicit while being BOTH cruel and absurd.
Today, Bambi is speechless (https://t.ly/yCOGD). Thus, she will only borrow the beautiful lyrics of two songs related to Beirut while sending her aching heart to the families of the innocent injured and deceased Beirutis. May those who died rest in peace and may those suffering from injuries heal.
She does not know about you, but Bambi strongly rejects wars in the world, just like in the French and Arabic lyrics of the Beirut-hosted 2009 Francophonie Games song, entitled Biladi Ana [My Homeland], by Majida El Roumy and Yousso Ndour. Instead, she prefers to keep praying for peace not only in Beirut but also in the entire tiny Lebanon… AND in the whole region. May everyone be safe and sound. Enough of bloodshed and trauma!
