[Metula News Agency/New Republic] Michael Behe - The politicians, journalists, and intellectuals of Lebanon knew full well that Hizballah had created an independent state in our country. In fact, our country had become an extension of Iran, and our so-called political power also served as a political and military cover for the Islamists of Teheran. Our army collaborated with the Iranians to put our coastal radar stations at the disposal of their missiles. Lebanon a victim? What a joke! Before the Israeli attack, Lebanon no longer existed. In Beirut, innocent citizens like me were forbidden access to certain areas of their own capital. Our police, our army, and our judges were also excluded. Without the Israelis, how could we have received another chance - that we in no way deserve - to rebuild our country? Once again, the soldiers of Israel are doing our work. If, at the end of this war, the Lebanese army retakes control over its territory and gets rid of the state within a state, it will only be thanks to the IDF. Like the overwhelming majority of Lebanese, I pray that no one puts an end to the Israeli attack before it finishes shattering the terrorists. In the name of my people, I wish to express my infinite gratitude to the relatives of the Israeli victims - civilian and military - whose loved ones have fallen so that I can live standing upright in my identity.
