The U.S. special envoy to Lebanon said Monday that his team would discuss the long-term cessation of hostilities with Israel, after Beirut endorsed a U.S.-backed plan for the Hezbollah militant group to disarm.

Tom Barrack, following a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, also said Washington would seek an economic proposal for post-war reconstruction in the country, after months of shuttle diplomacy between the U.S. and Lebanon.

    Zionists invaded and occupied Lebanon in the 80s and 90s and began colonization efforts.

    Even today, you have Ashkenazi supremacists inventing neo-Hebrew names for towns and villages in Lebanon under the pretext of some mythical ancient past.

    The Zionists are the aggressors. Always have been. There’s no compromising with people whose goal is to steal your land.

      Israel invaded Lebanon because the PLO were launching attacks from there, with the goal of establishing a Maronite buffer state. If you´ve really been led to believe that they “began colonization efforts” then you need to read up on the history of the conflict.

      A handful of religious goofs throwing model airplanes over the border does not constitute an invasion or conquest.

        Legitimate armed resistance is the right of every occupied and colonized people.

        What do you expect when you have a European settler colony invading and occupying your land?

        Remember, it was the Ashkenazi colonial project that usurped the religious elements, not the other way around. They were, for the most part, atheists after all.

        It’s the settler colonial Ashkenazi supremacist Zionists who are the aggressors.

          I think you´ve strayed far and wide from your original claim that Lebanon is on the brink of being conquered by Israel and the only thing keeping them from acting on it is, apparently, Hezbollah being allowed to fire a rocket or mortar across the border every once in a while

            I have no issue with disarming Hezbollah, on the condition that the Lebanese Armed Forces are sufficiently strong to repel the inevitable Zionist aggression. Lebanon has enough issues to deal with without foreign interference on behalf of an avowed enemy.

            “Trust me bro” doesn’t work when Ashkenazi supremacists want to expand their holocaust outside occupied Palestine.
