🔘A Continuation of a Historic Plot:
The 1982 invasion of Lebanon was not merely a transient military operation against the resistance; it was a comprehensive US-Israeli political and security project designed to reshape Lebanon's identity and subjugate it, relying on domestic allies who bet on Israeli tanks to seize power.
Domestic Complicity and Failed Bets:
Today, the same mindset resurfaces. Certain Lebanese political factions and figures are attempting to exploit the current war, destruction, and sectarian incitement to impose political realities that the occupation has failed to achieve on the battlefield.
Political Cover for Aggression:
The inciting internal discourse provides a cover for the aggression by blaming the victim (the resistance) instead of condemning the occupier. It treats massacres and devastation as a political opportunity to alter the domestic balance of power through foreign reliance.
The Illusion of Breaking the Resistance:
Betting on crushing the resistance and its popular base through killing, displacement, and siege is an illusion. Communities fighting an existential battle for dignity cannot be defeated by force; rather, excessive brutality only fuels further resilience and confrontation.
Threatening Civil Peace:
Internal incitement and exploiting Lebanese blood threaten the country's fragile civil peace. Attempts at revenge and forced exclusion will never build a viable state or produce stability, as nations cannot be constructed on the ruins of hatred and reliance on foreign occupation.
