Beirut Spring: Lebanon’s water is to Israel what Iraqi oil is to America
The Mask has fallen. Israel has decided to occupy an area of Lebanon “as a security zone”. I had a fishy pre-sentiment about that. I knew it since the day the Israelis asked the southerners to evacuate their towns to the north of the Litani River.
Ahh, the Litani River…
For those of you who don’t know, a big part of Lebanon’s war with Israel has always been over water. They seem to believe that we have more than we need.
Whenever the Lebanese confronted Hezbollah about their no-longer-necessary weapons, Hezbollah answered that their weapons are an important deterrent from Israel’s aggressive expansionism. They always warned us that the Litany River is the northern border the Zionists have always dreamed of.
We always scoffed at what we thought were Hezbollah’s “conspiracy theories”. But something about the way Olmert says “litani” makes me wonder if Nassrallah was right.
Perhaps before we know it, the Jews will start building colonies in a “holy land” in our south. Before we know it, they’ll start making wine from our grapes. Before we know it, they will establish “fact on the grounds”. Before we realize it, the “Greater Israel” will take a chunk of our Lebanon.
Over our dead bodies.
