According to Mr. Naim Qassem, Hezbollah chief, disarmament is not “in Lebanon’s interest”: Which Lebanon is he talking about, the one for all its citizens, including himself, or the one hijacked by Iran—through his group?

No, Mr. Naim Qassem, Hezbollah disarmament is not a foreign plan, even it also serves the interests of Israel, along with the USA. More specifically, this disarmament is not “an Israeli-American plan” (https://tinyurl.com/2w4v46e9). If it seems like it, it is because you have apparently lost the current absurd war that you started on October 8, 2023.

Stated differently, your militia group had poked the sleeping neighbouring bear for an entire year, inducing fear in innocent Israeli citizens residing in villages along the South border. The Israeli bear re-transformed into an occupying monster, through the skies with its drones and missiles and by land with its soldiers who returned to Lebanon after 24 years. Now the south is massively destroyed and still in war, What a tragedy.

As a reminder, the current Israeli-Hezbollah war was preceded by a bloody July 2006 war. So, for God’s sake Mr. Qassem, stop insulting the intelligence of your fellow Lebanese citizens by stating that disarmament of your militia is not in the interest of their country. Disarmament is overdue. It is a must and it is 100 percent in the interest of Lebanon.

Your fellow Lebanese citizens, along with all their loved ones abroad, are fed up of senseless wars of others in the beautiful Land of the Cedars. They surely deserve and expect safety and even peace, along with prosperity. They want internal stability, along with external harmony. Both can be envisioned and ideally achieved. Why not?

Instead of endless wars, how about a Lebanon without ANY religious- or ideologically-based group abusing power over others? How about a Lebanon FINALLY put first with a rule of law above everyone? How about a functional country for all in the true sense of the term, which includes a single (hopefully strong) army with legal weapons while all the other Lebanese groups— including yours—ONLY acting as political forces?
