To vent their mixed feelings of anger and sorrow following tragic events like the Beirut explosions or other, people can resort to different strategies. They can scream. They can cry. Some remain silent or pray. Others can go for a walk or perhaps write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, today Bambi decided to express her feelings by writing to Mr. Nasrallah, leader of the Hizbollah. Below you can find some of her sarcastic comments, as a reply to Nasrallah’s own speech. Bambi\u2019s replies are in bold. Mr. Nasrallah’s comments are taken from an article published in Naharnet<\/em> yesterday (see further below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please keep in mind that she is sharing her thoughts with you, without any filter (Mr. Trump’s style!). This being said, before officially starting the post, Bambi would like to show Mr. Nasrallah two recent re-tweets by journalist Roula Douglas, based in Beirut. At the end of this post, she will share with him (and you) more moving pictures taken from the same source, from l’Orient Le Jour<\/em>, and\/or from An Nahar<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Hizbullah is not confused\nor in a crisis and along with our allies we are the strongest in the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bambi does not care about your confusion or crisis. She does not care about your muscle show off.  Indeed, Bambi ONLY cares about her family and about all the other families\u2019 sufferings. Same for the whole planet watching Beirut news or rushing to help its citizens. Everyone is sad for Beirut and we are concerned about Lebanon. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah:\nThere was a state of anger among our supporters over the past days and we sought\nto control the situation, because clearly some were trying to incite strife. We\ntell our supporters to keep this anger, because we might need it one day to put\nan end to all the attempts to drag Lebanon into civil war. <\/abbr><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you mean we sought to \u201ccontrol the situation\u201d? By taking a whole community and an entire country hostage? By oppressing people?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one is dragging Lebanon into civil war as much as your weapons. The latter are scaring innocent citizens and destroying Lebanon. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to refresh your memory, Mr. Nasrallah, people are sick and tired of the political elite. They want a change to the political system. They want an end to corruption and impunity. They want peace. They want to live. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: The coronavirus situation\nin Lebanon has spiraled out of control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are a public health expert now?\nPlease let the medical experts talk. Your expertise is rather terror.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah:\nAs Lebanese, we should be aware that some will try to exploit the rulings and\nwe should show awareness. <\/abbr><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, you are absolutely right\u2026 and\nof course, this includes yourself and your allies in the region.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah:\nWe cling to the innocence of our brothers should unjust verdicts be issued\nagainst them. <\/abbr><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How surprising (this is a sarcastic comment, obviously). You are positioning these folks as victims and the International tribunal’s verdicts as being unfair.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah:\nWe’re not concerned with the STL’s rulings. <\/abbr><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are not, why are you\nbringing this up then?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: We demand the formation of\na strong, capable and politically protected cabinet and talk of a neutral\ngovernment is a waste of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please shut up Mr. Nasrallah. Everyone is sick and tired of you. Not just human beings, even animals like Bambi. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah:\nIt was not those who toppled the government. The government was toppled by a\nhost of circumstances and difficulties. In fact, a blast of such magnitude\nwould have made it difficult for any government to continue. <\/abbr><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, you have a point indeed. However,\nonly an international probe can uncover the truth and can end impunity. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah\nsaid Lebanese political forces had sought in the past days to \u201ctopple the state\nand put Lebanon on the brink of civil war to serve personal and foreign\ninterests.\u201d <\/abbr><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop lying Mr. Nasrallah. Nobody takes you seriously\u2026 Even 3-year-old kids like Lexou (or Alexandra) who died in the Beirut explosions (whether accidental or not<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: We witnessed an attempt to\ntopple the state in the very first hours after the blast. Political forces and\nmedia outlets exploited people’s pain to target not only Hizbullah, but also\nPresident Aoun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKiloun yiwen kiloun\u201d is the clever slogan of Lebanese people\u2019s revolt. As you know, this means: ALL of them means all of them. President Aoun is one of them (so are his relatives). No one should be above the law in a democratic country, Mr. Nasrallah. Stated differently, Mr. Aoun should resign\u2026 and you should shut up.  <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Hizbullah cannot remain\nsilent over a crime of such magnitude if Israel is behind it and it will pay\nthe price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lebanon\u2019s external tragedy is its harsh\nneighborhood or neighbours. Lebanon\u2019s internal tragedy is your organization and\nyour warrior\u2019s mindset. People just want to live in peace. They love life. They\ndo not want to die. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: If the investigation\ndetermines that Israel is involved, the Lebanese state and people should have a\nsay in the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you talking about that internal\ninvestigation that you control, directly or indirectly (via your allies, including\nthe clan of President Aoun mentioned above) in what is left of the so-called\nLebanese state?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please have the decency of not including people here\u2026 especially that people want an international (independent and transparent) investigation. They signed petitions, demanding this<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: We do not trust any\ninternational investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, you are scared of the truth. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: An FBI investigation would\nabsolve Israel of any responsibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Nasrallah, what are you afraid of precisely? You have a history of accusing Israel every time you have something to hide. People do not care neither of you nor of Israel. People are fed up of BOTH you and Israel<\/strong>… You the first now because you are Lebanon’s internal problem, along with corruption. Financial and moral corruptions going hand in hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah:\nWe are not the ones conducting the investigations. <\/abbr><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ha!ha!ha! No need to. You control the President, the judge, the whole judicial system, and\u2026 of course, any hypocritical report at the end of the process. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah:\nThe investigation should be continued and answers should be offered to the\nLebanese people. <\/abbr><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\nyou are stating the obvious. You sound ridiculous, Mr. Nasrallah.<\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: National security inside\nthe country is the state’s responsibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ha! Ha! Ha! For a long time, you have hidden behind the poor Lebanese state. The emperor has no clothes. The whole planet is seeing your ugly nakedness. <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Until now, nothing proves\nthat there was an airstrike through a warplane or a drone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEBANESE\nPEOPLE WANT AN INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION!<\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Hizbullah is awaiting the\nresults of the investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are we talking about this same investigation orchestrated and controlled by you (or those who sold their souls to the devil)?<\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Hizbullah does not have an\naccount of events about the Beirut port blast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes,\nAN INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION!<\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah has slammed the UAE move as\n“treason.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis between the UAE and Israel. None of your business. Stop using the\nPalestinians. Stop using people. Just stop!<\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: We have not been surprised\nby the move of some of the UAE’s rulers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No\ncomment. Bambi does not care about your feelings (of surprise).<\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: The decision to respond to\nthe Israeli strike (in Syria) is still on the table and the issue is a matter\nof time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop\nwars. Stop violence. Stop revenge. Stop. Just stop. <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are fed up of wars. People\nwant to live, not die. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enough…”Khalass”!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Israel’s mobilization on\nthe border is part of our punishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do not care about all this violence. We care about peace. We care about love. We care about Lebanon, contrary to you<\/abbr><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: From the very first day,\nour choice was to respond to Israel’s airstrike in Syria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do not care. We are grieving. Give us a break, Mr. Nasrallah.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Until further notice, and\nas long as no alternative has been presented, the resistance will remain our\nchoice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your so-called \u201cresistance\u201d is the \u201cPonzi scheme\u201d (fraud) of morality and security. ONLY the Lebanese Army should be defending the country. If you meant to tell us that you will not disarm, why don\u2019t you say it more clearly? If you are threatening people with a regional war, why don\u2019t you say it clearly? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: To us, the resistance is an\nexistential matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the people of Lebanon, you\/your group are an existential threat. <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Claims that Hizbullah is practising hegemony over the Lebanese political life are lies and they know this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ha! Ha! Ha! It is not because you are saying it as a truth that it is the truth. <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: They want to get rid of\nthis strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lebanese\npeople want to live in peace and security.  <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Their problem with us is\nthe strength of the resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please\nchange your method of so-called \u201cresistance\u201d. How about using a pencil, a\npolicy, an argument instead of terror?<\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Only the balance of\ndeterrence and the army-people-resistance equation are protecting Lebanon at\nthe moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHUT\nup, Mr. Nasrallah. Leave the Army alone. Leave the people alone! Let the army\nresist as needed, it is their job. Not yours. <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: The balance of deterrence\nis getting stronger day after day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your\nirrelevance as well.<\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: The balance of deterrence\nestablished during the 2006 war protects Lebanon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\nand Israel destroyed Lebanon in 2006\u2026 Shame on both of you. <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: The U.S. is now trying to\nbolster a scared Israel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No\ncomment. <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: Resilience and resistance\nin Lebanon toppled that scheme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resilience: Mmm, a psychologist now, Mr. Nasrallah? <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resistance: See Bambi\u2019s earlier\ncomments. Then, please shut up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: The capture of the two\n(Israeli) soldiers expedited the timing (of the U.S. scheme). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes,\nby dragging Lebanon into a deadly war. Very clever. Very noble.<\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: That war thwarted the U.S.\nadministration’s New Middle East scheme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else can we expect from a guy leading an organization whose motto is \u201cDeath to America<\/em>\u201d (just like Iran, what a coincidence!)?<\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: The July War had historic\nresults at all levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s wrong, Mr. Nasrallah? You used to say \u201cdivine\u201d. Now, it is \u201chistoric\u201d. Is there any hope of logic and common sense here? <\/abbr><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you keep using a language of wars and destruction, without ANY respect for people\u2019s trauma and grief generated by the Beirut port blasts? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasrallah: The July (2006)\nconfrontation was a real war… The Zionist enemy imposed it on Lebanon\nfollowing a U.S. decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you lying again, Mr. Nasrallah? Your group kidnapped and killed two of their soldiers. This is what sparked this deadly war. Anyhow, Israel or Hizbollah\u2026 Chicken or egg? Does it really make any difference to the innocent people who were taken hostage between you and Israel? Your stupid conflict (by proxy, maybe the Iranian-American conflict taking place in Lebanon?) killed about 1300 Lebanese people and 165 Israelis, in addition to destroying Lebanon\u2019s civil infrastructures, displacing about 1 million Lebanese, and perhaps 300,000 or 500,000 Israelis.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In sum, shame on you Mr. Nasrallah. Stop taking Lebanese people hostage of your loyalty to Iran and your related ideology. Just STOP. Why don\u2019t you put Lebanon first for once, especially after the latest surrealistic tragedy? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
