Why does it seem to poke the sleeping bear!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bambi is asking because a drone, which was sent from Lebanon triggered air defences in Northern Israel and resulted in a <em>&#8220;thundering roar&#8230; in the Lebanese capital Beirut, probably caused by Israeli planes passing in the lowest overflight in years, according to a Reuters  witness and a Lebanese security source&#8221;  (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/unmanned-aircraft-lebanon-crossed-into-israel-israeli-army-says-2022-02-18\/\">https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/unmanned-aircraft-lebanon-crossed-into-israel-israeli-army-says-2022-02-18\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beirutis do not need violence again. Lebanon does need another &#8220;July 2006 war&#8221; (and the Israeli population does not need scary drones). The country of the cedars is &#8220;<em>tired<\/em>&#8220;, as per the song above, with many unresolved crises on its plate. So, please stop it all of you, both internally and externally!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although the song in question was posted on Youtube three days after the surrealistic Beirut port explosion in 2020, Bambi just saw it.
