Written in 2003 To the youth of Lebanon

Posted by Lebanonjon

To my brothers and Sisters in our Country.

I am the age of Lebanon under occupation. Thirty years ago I was born in Rass Beirut and my family lived and worked in Hamra. Today I live in the United States in exile from my country.

It is hard to explain to people that have not spent their entire lives in a war, what it means to live with a burning hope. what it means to dream of independence, what it means to be wiser than your years.

I know that many of us are young and passionate about a cause. many of us have heard stories of battles and bombings and heroes. Many of us believe that we have an opinion that is right and will fight with all our might for what we believe in.

I also know that we are the children of a nation that has been boiling beneath the surface. A nation that has been suppressed by violent means. A nation that has been robbed of its dignity, its rights, its respect.

With all this struggle, I also know that we are the beating heart of Lebanon.we are the torch bearers of those heroes we have heard of. We are the seeds of those battles that were fought for our preservation. We are the fruits of all the families who struggled beneath inhuman conditions against all odds, and despite all foes.

We, my brothers and Sisters, ARE LEBANON

And We will be the ones who will Liberate it.

I am not speaking this because I have given up the fight, ON THE CONTRARY ” I HAVE ONLY JUST BEGUN” . I am not saying this because I have no courage, ON THE CONTRARY ” I WILL NOT FEAR, . I am not saying this because I want you to be proud, ON THE CONTRARY, I KNOW YOU ARE.

I am saying this because THIS IS THE TRUTH.

We are the vanguard of this nation. We are the memory of our parents of our ancestors, of those who died at the hands of infamy and at the gates of tyranny. We are the result of every soul who passed before us in the mountains and valleys and shores of our Nation.

as a Lebanese fighter said

The aspirations of our Martyrs was entrusted to us.

This is our cause and this is our banner.

Today, Lebanon calls to its fighters, calls to its citizens , calls to its diaspora. We have to answer its call. We have to shout out the message, We have to keep the flame burning.

TO ALL THOSE KEEPING THE CAUSE IN OUR BELOVED LEBANON TODAY,

WE SAY OUT LOUD

WE ARE BEHIND YOU, WE WILL SUPPORT YOU, WE WILL HONOR YOU

AND ABOVE ALL ELSE

WE ARE HERE TO STAY

your fellow countryman

That’s the spirit
Lebanon is our holy land
Wherever we are and whatever we do …Lebanon should be always with us
But Sometimes when you see how some Christians act …and how they insult the memory of our martyrs…and how they blindly follow some hypocrites…you say to yourself ..why an I wasting my time and efforts …

Lebanonjon, Amen. We also have the duty to pass this love, pride, and loyalty to our kids who were born and raised abroad. Forever Lebanese.

What happen to my beloved Lebanon?
I remember the days when no one dared talked about a Christian figure head. Now at days, you got Berrie and his puppets attacking Bchary Elraeie on one end while the Bastard Michel Aoun is consistently undermining Bkerky every day, proclaiming himself as the ultimate representative of the Christian community in Lebanon. My response is two fold:
1. In regard to Berrie talking about the metran, I say shame on you. LBC once had a sketch of Hassan Nasrallah on Bas Matt Elwattan and all hell broke lose afterward. So, you can make fun of a Christian but how dare you make fun of Shiites. Well, in regard to Berrie, he is a slaved man with no opinion or power. I would rather be dead than alive as an enslaved man without freedom of action or speech. As for Nasrallah, Mr.“ I want to built an Islamic state in Lebanon… those invader Christians in the mountain of kesrwein illegally took the Shiites lands”, those are his exact word and if you Aounist don’t believe me, Just put in Nasrallah’s name in You Tube and hear this bastard for yourself.

2. In regard to Michel Aoun proclaiming himself as the ultimate Christian leader, I simply say that if it wasn’t for the Shiites, you would have lost the Metn Election. Christian leaders do not burn tires and set up tents on other people’s lands. It is at the core of our bible, the respect of mankind. To be a Christian, is to love and anyone that listen to Aoun talk will be embarrassed by his hate and tempers. If Aoun was to claim that he is a Shiite leader in Lebanon, I would completely agree (mabrook a million time for that title / leader of the terrorist)

In conclusion, God bless the Hakeem and the Lebanese Forces.
