Peloni: The chatter about legal actions by the Lebanese govt against Hezbollah should be given the same level of disregard which Lebanon has earned in threatening to disarm Hezbollah for decades, most recently failing to act on the latest iteration of this comedy hour routine missed yet one more deadline imposed on Lebanon to do so. Action rather than words will revolutionize the situation in Lebanon, yet the Lebanese govt has neither the political will nor the military capacity to throw off the yoke of Iranian capture which has held Lebanon helplessly in its grip over the past decades. This, however, should be understood to be a failure of the international community, most recently led by the efforts of US Amb. Tom Barrack, who has consistently claimed Lebanon could and would do what remains impossible for Lebanon to contemplate: acting upon their own sovereign interests while being occupied and controlled by an Iranian proxy force while it still infiltrates its population, its political infrastructure, and most importantly its military capabilities.
Meanwhile Jolani’s Syrian forces are massing on Lebanon’s border under the guise of ‘border security,’ belying the greater interest which the Turkish proxy in Syria would have in extending Turkey’s conquest to next include Lebanon where the Muslim Brotherhood might next focus its unopposed slaughter of non-Sunni Muslim minorities. It was a vital mistake for Washington to support Turkey’s suzerainty over Syria, the implications of which pose to have a serious impact on the future of Lebanon.
As if the irony of having the Lebanese tell the world what they want to hear was not evident enough in the below report, see this latest amusing article about Lebanon now offering peace with Israel, if only Israel would end its campaign against Hezbollah. Actions, not words, is what will determine Lebanon’ fate, yet cheap talk is all that Lebanon has to offer anyone.
