Why on my Land? - A Lebonese Perspective

A Lebonese in London | 03.08.2006 01:35 | Lebanon War 2006 | Anti-militarism | World

i was talking to my lebanese friends earlier on this evening and i havent stopped crying. its destroying me ...

they hit my village up north in Baalbek today. they are bringing the whole village down to rubble. its the same all over lebanon but Baalbek is very precious, all the roman ruins are located there and itll be a disaster if they hit them. our world's history and ancient civilisation is stored there.. its a big issue! my whole family is in danger. all my father's land, our homes, my father's side of the family are all in Baalbek. please pray for them with me.

the israelis seem to be aiming at civilians. is it normal that 'by fluke' they hit the red cross?!?!? that they hit a refugee camp in kaana in the south specifically for women and children??! they have dunked tons and tons of toxic gunk on our beautiful coastline. this substance, if touched is as errosive to the skin as acid and gives u cancer- a slow painful death. all
the marine life is dying, floating nearby.. my country is falling to pieces before my very eyes. i feel so helpless.

my friends arent the same.. people are being worn down, psychlogical
destruction.
in 30 years weve been attacked by israel 7 TIMES! 7 TIMES!!!!! everytime we start to build ourselves up we get knocked down again. let me tell you why..
Lebanon poses a threat to israel. we were growing, our tourist industry was thriving. we had 2million extra tourists this summer alone.. surprise surprise - another attack on us. everytime we begin to get close to israel economicaly, developmentally, we get knocked back decades! is this
fair!??!?!?! IS IT!?!?!?

In reality, its pretty clear that this isnts a war between lebanon and israel. it doesnt take einstein to realise whats really happening. one must read between the lines. this war is between america and iran. iran pumping hezbollah with fuel and israel backed up by usa. israel and hezbollah are
puppets to the bigger war. the sad thing is that this has to happen on MY land.

The israelis fight the palestinians on MY land
The israelis fight the syrians on MY land
The israelis fight hezbollah on MY land
The americans fight the iranians on MY land

GIVE US A BREAK!

the UN is a joke.. it is run by the US.. its inhumane whats happening. its
happening before their very eyes and whats their solution? asking hezbollah
to disarm. WHY?!?!?!

Hezbollah, although extremist are the only ones fighting for our rights! our government sucks and we have a useless army. HEZBOLLAH IS NOT A TERRORIST GROUP- THEY ARE A RESISTANCE GROUP. we have been brought down to having NOTHING and when you have NOTHING u have nothing to lose. Justice will be served and inchallah soon. bas by God we wont back down! we wont be bullied by ANYONE. hezbollah stands up to israel and USA and if they dont like it they can stuff themselves. i am proud of my country and people. i am proud of where i come from and LEBANON SHALL PREVAIL!


please join me in my prayers and spread the news. this cant go on any longer.

thank you for taking the time to read this email. this email has no real structure but i am very emotional and just pouring out whats in my heart...
