I'm Lebanese.
I've been living in Lebanon for the better part of my life and yet I am fully aware that nearly the whole world is affected in one way or the other by US foreign policies that represent the US-based corporatocracy (as so eloquently described by John Perkins in his book Confessions of an Economic Hitman). Lebanon is not very different from these countries that are affected by these hegemonic policies.
Yet, I cannot but feel a sense of great pride and honor when I reflect upon the victories that our Lebanese Resistance has garnered throughout the past 17 years (and counting). I know that what I am saying now may seem irrelevant to many out there...yet, when you realize who it is we're up against and how we've managed to mop the floor with them twice, it'll start to make sense...we are up against Israel. Yep, US, Western-backed, Zionist, Talmudic, apartheid-stricken, hegemonic, armed-to-the-back-teeth, "we are God's chosen people" Israel...thank God there is only one of it around.
To make me feel even more proud, I simply have to go through the list of events that have taken place during the past few years, ever since Israel, the US, Turkey, the EU and their crony Gulf states created ISIS (and its offshoots) then let them loose throughout the Middle East. Not only has the Lebanese Resistance managed to put Israel at bay and put a muzzle on their mouths but they managed to stave off an invasion by thousands of US armed, head-chopping, woman-raping, Wahhabi terrorists intent on annihilating any form of anti-Israeli force in Lebanon, Syria and all the way to Iran. Do you have any idea just how massive of a challenge that was? The Lebanese Resistance, Hezbollah, has sacrificed hundreds of selfless young men who have flocked to Syria to fight the US proxy terrorists before they come to Lebanon...and they succeeded.
I may have countless problems in my country and a ruling bunch of corrupt US, Saudi puppets but this all pales in light of my pride when I think of how butt-hurt the Israelis are when they see most of their decade-long efforts going down the drain since they didn't take into account that there are people out there who are so intent to defending their land and keeping their eyes on the true enemy: Israel.
Tomorrow marks this year's Jerusalem Day (coinciding with the last Friday of the month of Ramadan) and on that day, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's Secretary General, will deliver his annual speech on that day...I guess I know what Netenyahu and Israel's top brass will be watching tomorrow...get the popcorn ready, Bibi...it's gonna be a good one!
