Bambi woke up this morning to a blood-curdling article in L’Orient Le Jour, showing a propaganda video of Hezbollah’s tunnels (https://shorturl.at/qxCfA), which is entitled in English “‘The size of a city’: Hezbollah releases most explicit footage of tunnel network” (https://shorturl.at/5BJGk).
After watching the shocking video, she could not help not to wonder why don’t members of this organization use their brains to build a much needed subway station in their small yet dense country? When she read the readers’ comments in the original French article, she noticed that a couple of them also had a similar thought.
Regardless of this apparently sarcastic yet sad thought, assuming that the Hezbollah tunnel network would be located in South Lebanon, and maybe partly south of the Litani river, didn’t the UNIFL see this coming, that is during its construction that must have taken a long time? Furthermore, even if the answer is not hard to guess, who funded this tunnel network? Bambi is asking the latter since Lebanon is sadly an Iranian colony (via the Hezbollah, that is by proxy).
As a reminder, the UNIFL is the “United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon”, which Bambi has thanked on this blog more than once. From its original web page, one can read the following about its mission: “Monitoring cessation of hostilities and helping ensure humanitarian access to civilian population. Originally, UNIFIL was created by the Security Council in March 1978 to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, restore international peace and security and assist the Lebanese Government in restoring its effective authority in the area. The mandate had to be adjusted twice, due to the developments in 1982 and 2000. Following the July/August 2006 crisis, the Council enhanced the Force and decided that in addition to the original mandate, it would, among other things, monitor the cessation of hostilities; accompany and support the Lebanese armed forces as they deploy throughout the south of Lebanon; and extend its assistance to help ensure humanitarian access to civilian populations and the voluntary and safe return of displaced persons” (https://shorturl.at/tyut4).
All this being said, enough of wars, please. Enough of suffering for the innocent people. Enough of tunnels, drones, missiles, and airplanes. Time to build bridges of diplomacy and prosperity instead… and why not a metro system, for real, at the same time?
It’s always easier to tear down (or blow up) than to build. Cain versus Abel mentality. How sad.
I have been following and reading your posts. This is incredibly disturbing and distressing. Evil hiding in plain sight – what are we to do? I want to believe that love can save the world and yet my brain reminds me that evil knows no bounds and does not recognize the language of love. How then do we overcome evil?
