Lebanese against Hezbollah: “Israel did not do to us what you did in
The citizens of Lebanon are demanding that the corrupt politicians who run their country be prosecuted, and Nasrallah is not coming out clean either: “You claimed that you were protecting us, your people in the port - did you really not know that there were 2,750 tons of dangerous material there?” The network throws shoes at him and asks: “Did you cry about Qassem Suleimani and now not?”

The picture of Hassan Nasrallah’s figure on the hanging rope during the protests tonight (Saturday) in Beirut marks the growing pressure on Hezbollah by its opponents from Lebanon in the shadow of the disaster explosion at the port this week. Social media surfers repeatedly raise the suspicion that Hezbollah has something to do with the explosion or that at least it was able to prevent it.

This is gonna get good.
No one get your hopes up.
Protestors are on both sides on this.
It’s Lebanon’s government’s failures that’s being protested.
There are five elements to Beirut and it’s spiral at this point:
1. Social Media is way out of control and spreading half-truths, and complete fiction.
2. Incompetence at the harbor and port is obvious.
3. Trust in the police is at a all-time low.
4. Lebanon has no resources to handle this explosive damage, and is basically leaning on the EU to just give them ‘cash’ (which the EU wants to avoid because of the corruption).
5. Finally, you can’t find anyone who believes the radical Islam business is the ‘solution’.

The “in effigy” part ruined the story
Trouble in paradise.
At some point in the future if and when the Lebanese people decide to take their government back into the their own hands, then they will expel the Syrian, Iranian, Russian and Hizbollah’s death grip on their lives which has run rampant since 1975.
If they ever manage to do that, they will go from yet, another failed Arab state to a productive member of the world of nations and maybe, just maybe, they will have the common sense to make peace with their neighbor to the south, Israel.
Now, Israel, an expert in setting up field hospitals has offered to help them save lives. So far, the Lebanese have refused.
OK, so let your people die because you refuse to accept help from the closest, most advanced neighbor you have.
Sheer stupidity of the Arab mind.
Yeah, right. They will never buck the Jew-hater consensus. Everything is the Joos fault, doncha know. Just wait, they’ll get there.
Nice to hear some good news
I used to watch “Highway Patrol”
Whittlin’ with my knife
But the thought never struck me
I’d be black and white for life
I was raised on law and order
I a community of strife
Became a restless boarder
And I never took a wife.
I went lookin’ for Khaddafi
Aboard Air Force One
But I never did find him
And the C.I.A. said Son,
You’ll never be a hero
Your flyin’ days are done
It’s time for you to go home now
Stop sniffin’ that smokin’ gun.
I was travellin’ with my family
In the Mideast late one night
In the hotel all was quiet
The kids were out like little lights
Then the street was filled with jeeps
There was an explosion to the right
They chanted “Death to America”
I was feelin’ like a fight.
So I ran downstairs
And out into the street
Someone kicked me in the belly
Someone else kissed my feet
I was Rambo in the disco
I was shootin’ to the beat
When they burned me in effigy
My vacation was complete.
It comes down to this:
If any country wants misery, poverty, strife and death then all they have to do is import Muslims.
If a country wants peace, harmony, success and a good happy life then all you have to do is expel, kick out Muslims.
There are always some exceptions of course but this is the gist of it.
They refuse to accept help from Israel even though they have no plan and no resources to recover from this disaster. Then do not expect any radical changes in the power structure in Lebanon. The people can protest all they want to, but the despots will merely wait then out and nothing will change.
They know those were terrorist munitions that went off, not fertilizer.
