LEBANON…BETWEEN
BEING THE TOOL OF SYRIA AND DESTRUCTION OF ZIONISM
Mohammad AL-SEYYID
Israel,
following the kidnap of its two soldiers and killing of its
eight soldiers by the Hezbollah militants, entered Lebanon
and started an operation on July 12 2006. Israel applies
psychological warfare tactics to collapse morale of the
people and the Hezbollah militants. It is found out that in
this framework, Israeli army, which besieged the country
from air and sea, dropped numerous leaflets. On July 17 the
Al-Jazeera TV announced that it was discovered that the
airplane which was stated to be shot down by a Hezbollah
missile at the eastern part of Beirut, was not an airplane
but a balloon probably to distribute leaflets.
It was
stated that the initial leaflets dropped by the warplanes at
he north of the Gaza Strip were warning against “the people
should stay in their homes and not resist.” However, the
recent leaflets also bear cartoons and photos showing
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as entrapped and in placed
in a cage. The leaflets also emphasize that “Nasrallah is
the cause of the war and the Lebanese people should voice
their reaction against Nasrallah.”
On the
other hand, all the cellular phone subscribers registered in
the Lebanese cellular phone networks receive SMS messages,
the originator of which cannot be understood, humiliating
Nasrallah and his supporters in Lebanon and exaggerating the
power of Israel.
Lebanon,
which became a stage for the Palestinian issue between
Israel and Syria, is the most “chaotic” country in the
Middle East, one of the most “chaotic” geographies on the
world. During the last 30 years Lebanon, a small country of
10.000 square kilometers where 3,8 million people from 18
different religious and ethnic groups inhabit, suffered a
long lasting civil war, two Israeli and one Syrian
occupation. (Al-Arab Newspaper, August 22, 2006)
