The area around Dar al-Fatwa in Beirut witnessed a popular protest that forced the cancellation of a visit by U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea.

Protesters in Lebanon have accused Washington of supporting the killing of civilians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli army.

A statement issued by Dar al-Fatwa said the visit was postponed based on a request from Shea’s office.

Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan meanwhile issued a statement stressing “the need to halt the U.S. support for the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.”

He called on the U.S. administration to “press the Zionist entity (Israel) to stop its aggression on Gaza and the Palestinian people, impose a ceasefire, establish a humanitarian truce, pass relief aid to the aggrieved residents of Gaza and work on creating a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, after putting a permanent end to Zionist occupation.”

Daryan also warned against “the continuation of the Israeli aggression against south Lebanon,” saying the Lebanese people stand united against “the brutal and barbaric crimes and the killing of children and women.”

Zionism is an abomination, and must be vehemently opposed for the benefit of everyone, including Jews worldwide. However, a stable Middle East would be detrimental to the American military complex, as they could potentially lose hundreds of billions in yearly arms sales and would have to vacate hundreds of military bases around the region.
