Lebanon Doesn’t Die

Lebanon Doesn’t Die (aka Angry Olmert Day 6)
Posted with Jamal's permission

A cloud of smoke, dust, and death still fills the sky of Beirut. 200 have been murdered and hundreds more maimed by Olmert’s killing machine. A lot of the villages in the south are running out of food and water. Israeli planes order those villagers to evacuate within an hour yet they shoot anything that moves. Who’s the terrorist again?

Guess what though. The Lebanese are more determined, more united, and more defiant than ever. My sister, who wept uncontrollably the first night, now sleeps through the blasts even though they are getting louder and more frequent. We persevere.

I was watching highlights of La Fiesta de San Fermin. You have a 600 Kilogram Mad Bull taking on a 75 Kg Fighter. The animal comes out strutting his force running full speed across the ring. The animal attacks brutally anything that moves in front of it. The animal huffs and puffs. The crowd just watches and cheers. Some cheer on the animal, others cheer on the human. Then the animal is pinched. A little pinch that won’t bring down this massive creature. It does hurt though and a hurt bull becomes angrier, madder. The animal charges with more vengeance this time. An impressive massive force charging towards skinny clowns whose balls are hanging out. The bull is poked a couple of more times. More pain means more madness. The animal now charges thinking it’s going for the kill. 600 Kilograms of fury charging towards a target. The target is hit, no kill though. There was nothing there. The animal tries again, again no kill. Angry madness turns into Frustration. A frustrated animal charges, but it’s running out of steam. The animal gets dizzy. The fighter grabs the bull by the horns. The bull is humiliated. The bull doesn’t stop though. It doesn’t think, it just attacks.

In the end the animal always dies and is dragged out in complete humiliation.

Lebanon doesn’t die.

sc: I don't find any mention of [k]Hezbollah in the above post. Maybe you are refering to a totally different post.

And be warned, "Lebanon doesn't die."

to the people who are busy with finger-pointing, who probably live in the luxury of their own castle abroad, know that it is the ones remaining here who are being slaughtered. now you may come to me with the usual it's-their-own-fault shit, you may choose to justify that kidnapping two soldiers equals destroying a whole country, you may even choose to give in to the israeli propaganda that is being promoted here, but the main point is: each day you go on with this, you are risking the death of more and more lives. yes, you! forget your problems and your teeny tiny worries, forget for a moment that you're these big major analysists, and move your asses!

Great as usual Jamal, Lebanon doesn't die indeed!

@Deibei:
The correct phrase is "Lebanon does not die" to indicate a fact as opposed to "Lebanon will not die" which is a future speculation.

Many aggressors since the dawn of history tried to invade Lebanon but Lebanon survived them all. The current israeli aggression is not something new, just refer to the israeli invasion in 1982...
