There is no civil war in Lebanon; there is a war against the resistance •
What is going on today in Lebanon is just an extension of the situation in the entire region. The US and its western allies are trying to show everyone that religion is the main factor of this dispute and they are trying to cover the political motivations and especially economic interests involved in the whole process.
There are two main positions in
Lebanon today, on one hand a colonialist project supported by the US and
its principle ally in the region, Israel, whose spokesman is the Lebanese
Government itself, and on the other, a project of sovereignty conducted by
the resistance movement. In fact, it is a war between those who are simply
patriotic and external agents. That is why both camps are composed of
several currents simultaneously; religious, sectarian, ideological, and so
forth. It is important to note that Michiel Aoun, the nationalist QS
(Qornet Shehwan) and the Communist parties are in line with Hezbollah?
The pro-imperialist western Lebanese government aims at pitting the
National Army against the people and the resistance. Their goal is to hide
behind the army because they lack popular support. It should be noted that
the army establishment is still led by nationalists.
Prior to the Israeli invasion against Lebanon in 2006, there was a series
of internal and external pressure to dismantle the legitimate movement of
resistance in Lebanon, which is Hezbollah. This pressure increased after
this group defeated the Israeli army and restored the hopes of other
resistance movements in various parts of the Arab Homeland. This victory
demonstrated without a doubt that resistance against globalism on the one
hand, and guerrilla war on the other is still possible.
A few days ago, after the longest session in the history of the Lebanese
parliament, the pro-western coalition voted to make the communication net
of Hezbollah illegal, a communication system that was very effective
against the Israeli army during the war last summer. This “Declaration of
War” against the resistance is just another example of how the local
puppets of the US and Israel are fighting against their own people,
because through this action, the government is actually dismantling the
main tool the resistance has to fight against the colonialist project in
the region.
This is not a minor issue, it is the first time since the Taif Accords in
1989 that put an end to the civil war in the country and consecrated the
legitimacy of the armed resistance of Hezbollah against Israel, that the
government condemns a communication network which is part of the security
apparatus of the movement and considers it an “illegal threat against the
State”.
What the Lebanese Government is doing today is nothing less than the dirty
work of Israel, just a few days after the US government declared once
again that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, keeping it on the
“Blacklist”.
The aim here can only be to give to the US the control of the Airport and
all the communication systems within the country, with the result of
undermining the legitimate resistance of the people against their main
target, Israel. They do this by provoking internal fights, which are easy
to add to the confusion of religious disputes, just in the way they
already have been doing in Iraq and in Palestine. The main reason behind
the firing of the leader of the airport is that he declared that al-Hariri
secretly met Bandar, the Saudi Amir, in the Airport several days before
the government decided to fire him. Bandar was the only Arab who was told
by Bush when the invasion against Iraq would start.
The biggest threat for a colonialist project in the region, including both
the Arab ruler regimes and the western supporters, are the people and
their power of resistance. To undermine this power and to create a
constant climate of internal tension is the goal of anyone who is against
a unified Arab nationalistic movement in the Arab Homeland.
How we can explain other than in this way the several accusations of
Iranian intromission in Lebanon, even asking for the expulsion of its
Ambassador and to paralyze all the flights to and from Iran due the
support of the Iranian government to Hezbollah, but not a single word has
been uttered against the external intromission of the US in Iraq, not a
word against the allowance of a third of Qatari land surrendered in order
to house a US base, not a word against external forces, armed to the teeth
under the false pretext of “safeguarding democracy”, ignoring the respect
of Lebanese territoriality and considering as “terrorists” a large number
of its population?
France, the “motherland” keeps an important military presence in the area,
focused mainly upon imposing the achievement of the recuperation of the
colonialist project and once again doing the dirty work of an entity that
has been oppressing an entire people for more than 60 years.
A ministerial meeting will take place in Cairo, convened by Egypt and
Saudi Arabia, for what reason other than to condemn once again the right
of people to resist the oppressor, as Hezbollah is doing successfully in
Lebanon? Certainly these ministers will discuss ways to stop the
“negative” influence that the supporters of resistance have inside the
country.
Finally, it should be noted that Palestine is in the core of the conflict
in Lebanon. The termination of resistance has never been devoted to
‘building’ and safeguarding Lebanon, but to protecting Israel and making
it a ‘normal’ state in the Arab Homeland. But the first decision of the
agents, if they succeed, will be the re-settlement of Palestinian refugees
from Lebanon to…anywhere else but Palestine.
