Wanted to write about this for long but won't now, but in brief brief.

It's quite remarkable how many Lebanese ridicule the rhetoric of the need to liberate land through power and the need to increase the military strength of Lebanon and the resistance (when the state fails).

They ridicule the concept of power and cling to the thought of disarming because they believe that disarming and being weak is how Lebanon because safe through not being a threat to anyone.

Decades ago the same people who claim so are the ones who used to say "Lebanon's strength is through its weakness".

I'm genuinely curious, is this concept exclusive to Lebanon? Or do other nations around the world believe so.

It's quite remarkable when we see Israel strive not only for military might but for superiority, when Arab states big large armies and the whole world keep stressing on the need of strong militaries to safeguard sovereignty, these Lebanese claims so.

A sample of a Lebanese cuck, he got famous during the war on X: https://x.com/MarioLeb79/status/1895454560334028956

Quoting him because he's been very loud lately. Pro-peace maggot.

I understand we don't want war, we don't like death, but we the Shia are the most who lost and who are in the most pain yet this didn't let us abandon sane rationale and sane thinking

We understand the risks, we understand the sacrifices and we are alone in this bidding while everyone is sitting on the sides.

The worse a Shia changed his opinion after the war was saying its enough that Shia are alone sacrificing, let the Lebanese army die fulfilling its role as an army. let the Shia, sunni, Druze and Christians sacrifice.

Yet none, said let's make peace with our murderer, let's abandon our weapons because through weakness we safeguard our future.

It's genuinely simple. Our rule is to become stronger, diplomacy doesn't exist because this world is hypocrite and biased to Israel.

The world superpowers are loyal to Israel, and they submit to them. Until that world judges the Jews in the same way they judge everyone else, the laws won't be applicable nor will diplomacy work.

Israel has invaded Syria without Syria being a threat, violated the ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza and has shed blood in Gaza, West Bank, Syria, Lebanon and everywhere every day since all days.

Wake up.

Lol he posted this 12 min ago and talked about "the innocent lives lost". Yeah mate, I agree. Even the fighters are innocent because they were murdered by the Israelis.

Today I went to Khiyam and Nabatieh to listen to our people in the south, not to make statements. But I want to say that my close knowledge of the reports and studies on the damages and losses resulting from the recent Israeli war is one thing, and seeing the extent of the destruction and the scene of the destroyed villages, roads, houses, agricultural lands and burnt trees - with my own eyes - is something else entirely. How can I forget all the innocents who were martyred, leaving behind orphans, widows and the bereaved? What I heard and saw today will increase my determination to accelerate the work for the reconstruction and the dignified return of our people.

95+ locals (of which about 85 died in the war and rest natural causes) is a shocking shocking number of this small town.

Immense sacrifices...

The Jews did not take credit for the attack, despite 3 drone strikes in the same array to kill someone.

They also didn't take credit for the attack in Dier Qanoun against a room (said to be a generator room)
๐Ÿฅ€ The IDF took credit for his murder, claiming he was responsible for facilitating money transfer for weapon smuggling operations and supporting the transfer of weapons to different Hezbullah units.

Regardless that this Jewish crime is a violation of the ceasefire and extra judicial murder, Hezbullah has to investigate every single assassination because we all witnessed they were rooted in good intelligence that went beyond and beyond

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡งl๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Lebanon's PM calls on Israel to "please withdraw"

In a statement on X, Nawaf said:
Close to one of the sites that Israel still occupies inside Lebanese territory, I stressed during my tour in the south today the necessity of its complete withdrawal from all these points to the international borders stipulated in the 1949 Armistice Agreement, stressing that any delay in this constitutes a violation of Lebanese sovereignty, Resolution 1701, and the arrangements for the cessation of hostilities as agreed to by the previous government.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง President Aoun: No one other than the state is allowed to carry out its national duty in protecting the land and the people, and if it finds that there is a need to seek help from others, it will make the decision.

โœ This is EXACTLY what Hezbullah is asking for now in this period. Please get the Lebanese army to implement the ceasefire agreement which the IDF is violating by occupying new parts of Lebanon and the daily air and aggression attacks.

Your #1 backer the US is the head of the ceasefire committee. Ask help from your allies.

Here, go and perform your responsibilit, but don't ever sell us empty promises.

Fight until the U.S. humiliates Israel like it is humiliating Ukraine today.

Continue till the U.S. abandons Israel like how it is abandoning Ukraine, and ironic how it is.

Ukraine a great nation whose security has real impact on Europe and US, and irrelevant Israel to the direct national security of the West.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง The Hezbullah organizing committee described the funeral ceremonies of the martyrs Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine as โ€œexceptional and historic,โ€ given โ€œthe level of organization and the absence of any noteworthy incidents on the one hand, and the impressive size of the participation.โ€

The deputy head of the executive council, Sheikh Ali Damoush, said in a press conference that โ€œthe funeral day turned into a day of great victory that the enemy tried to deny, and a day of God that dropped the assumptions of loss and defeat, and established a new launch and stage for the resistance that is more powerful, brighter, and hopeful for the future, in the face of the discourse that announces the end of the line after the loss of the leader.โ€

Damoush focused on the symbolism of the impressive crowd that โ€œexceeded expectations, and does not need numbers to count it, as the mourners came from the south, the Bekaa, the north, the mountains, Beirut, and the southern suburbs, and dozens of countries"

#admin long thread. Worth reading

There was a very important point mentioned yesterday in the speech of Sheikh Naim Qassem that highlighted clearly what we have seen in the past two months, that Hezbullah has stopped at the commands of its leadership any armed action that is categorized as offensive and has shifted to a new temporarily form that is much needed in this phase of history (short term) that will be capable of dealing with a tide that it cannot control due to the results of the war in terms of how it affected them and the change in the Middle East that took place overnight and placed Hezbollah as a loner which no wall to lay its back on. He said "at this time, it is the responsibility of the state"
Similar to what I have discussed here, below is by the head of Al-Akhbat np about the future:

"Until now, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has adopted a policy of "refraining from direct action" in response to the continued occupation and the expansion of aggression. Its leaders say on every occasion that the state must translate what it has declared about its responsibility for Lebanon's sovereignty.

The repetition of the words by the leaders of the resistance about the state's duty to ensure a complete withdrawal, the liberation of prisoners, and the cessation of attacks is nothing but an argument against those in power in Lebanon, even though the leadership of the resistance knows in advance that those in charge in Lebanon have no answer today other than that Lebanon has no power or strength to do more than appeal to countries to intervene."

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑl๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง The Jewish enemy wiped Maroun Al-Ras from the map

The site overlooks the Maroun Plain, where the most important agricultural lands in the town are located, which will prevent farmers from going to their lands,โ€ according to the mayor, Adnan Alawiya.

It is also located at a strategic point that reveals to the enemy a section of Wadi al-Saluqi, and Wadi al-Hujayr, all the way to Qaqaโ€™iyat al-Jisr, in addition to a number of roads leading to Qalaat al-Shaqif in the Nabatieh region.
