حركة دبلوماسية ناشطة في بيروت في الأسبوع المقبل

Please, instead of us trying to work around anew hybrid law as our Ali Baba Berri is proposing, instead of having to deal with a militia that wants to take it all, instead of having to deal with rising radicalism, can we just go for a referendum in which we will be asked if we Lebanese want to return under French rule and protection. I am in no doubt whatsoever that most Lebanese will vote YES, and resoundingly so.

(1). Since Independence, our leaders, all our leaders have established for themselves clear cut territories. Brought in waves and waves of refugees, brought to us war after war. They've stolen our beaches, our lands, our social security, they've stolen the nation's treasury, they've stolen everything that can be stolen, they've ruled disgracefully and they still rule till now. Since independence, how many Lebanese have had to leave Lebanon in search of a better income abroad? And does anyone here know for sure the extreme suffering these people go through? How many Lebanese today can afford hospitalization or medication or education? How many of our youths cannot get married because they cannot afford a house or even its rent? Sectarianism has blinded our vision all because these leaders want us to think as such.

(2). Lebanon is a fake country, a fake republic it's a fake everything. After 7 decades of so-called independence, we don't even know what self-rule is all about. Everyone since decades wants to tell us how to solve our problems, money is being pumped like crazy and it all goes to the thieves politicians. Our passport can't even take us from one part of Lebanon to the other, let alone travel normally worldwide. We sit all day at embassies like beggars waiting to be given stipends, why? because we are not fit for ruling ourselves, we are not fit for anything, we are not fit to think for ourselves and now we are so damn poor that we are not fit for even lifting our pants up by ourselves without having our politicians help us do it. The best thing, let France return and take us over, and save us from our leaders, amen.
