It's not about law and justice. The fact is that we are under Persian law

It is not about William Noon or Tariq Bitar, Ouweidate, or the port explosion. Even if Bitar indicts them all, none will be jailed or brought to justice. They will keep on puffing on their Habana cigars and laugh their asses off.

It is not about who will be the next president. It doesn’t matter: The Republic is dead. Actually it was destroyed both by those who did the job and those who did nothing to protect it. The sin is the same.

It is not about law and justice. Is there any of that in an occupied country? The fact is that we are under Persian law, and in Persia, people are hanged when they protest.

It is not about the Lebanese Lira rate. The Iranians are intentionally destroying our economy while earning huge money out of it in the meantime. The US sanctions on Hassan Moukalled are the clear proof of it.

All of the above are mere tactics of a larger and decades-old strategy.

Make no mistake: It is about the final and definitive Iranian occupation of the country.

You can shout your lungs out, demonstrate day and night: nothing will change unless we create a true and powerful opposition that will scream in one voice: Lebanon is occupied, and help will come for sure. A genuine opposition, that is focused on one issue: to declare that Lebanon is high jacked by Iran.

Audibility is the keyword.

Enough dispersed energy, enough stupidity would I say. Enough gifts to the enemy. Enough applauding those leaders who brought us where we are now.

Open your eyes and ears and listen up: Unless we unite in one single body, large enough, bold enough, we will never be listened to, we will never win and Lebanon will be lost forever.
