No Mr. Blair. No Mr. Bush. No Leaders of the world. We don’t need a “humanitarian corridor”. We don’t want any evacuation! We flaunt your pity! The Lebanese people demand the inalienable Right to live, the stopping of civilian bombardment, and the lifting of the blockade on the international airport and the harbors of their country, Lebanon, which has committed no crime! You take us as hostage. You decimate our families and cities. You turn us into cannon fodder. Stop! What are you accusing us of? Of having captured two enemy soldiers? The southern border of Lebanon is still a war front, and we have the right to capture soldiers to demand the liberation of dozens of Lebanese tortured in Israeli prisons. We are proud of the variety of communities that make up our country. We are proud of the millions of people who manifested in March 2005 to call for a democratic Lebanon free of Syrian troops which still hold dozens of Lebanese tortured in Syrian prisons.

You accuse the Hezbollah of terrorism. You invent lies and fabricate reasons to justify the barbaric Israeli aggression on our country. No, the Hezbollah had not yet been founded when the suicide bomb attempts on the French and the American troops in Beirut in 1983 took place. The Hezbollah did not bombard Israeli civilians during the great resistance in southern Lebanon which was able to defeat and register a victory over Israel in May 2000. It did not use Israeli children as human shields! You have repatriated your citizens in order to massacre us at will while pretending to destroy the military apparatus of the Hezbollah! You have plunged our people in state of psychotic fear. You are now granting us some respite before enacting the final solution. How many fighters are there among the hundreds of victims fallen within the last week or under the ruins of the Candia Liban Lait factory?

People of Good Will, Lebanese, those of Lebanese descent, and friends of Lebanon the world over, we ask you to take to the streets and make your voices heard. We ask you to pray for the Lebanese people who are being massacred and for their country which is being destroyed. Our executioners have given one more week to the Hebrew state to transform Lebanon into a new Hiroshima. But you, people of Lebanon, do not fear, do not run away and pursue your resistance. We have already resisted to 25 years of war. The Lebanon belongs to us.

LONG LIVE LEBANON!
