Imagine living in a building where one neighbor forcefully moves in, violently evicting the majority of the building’s flat-owners. This neighbor then occupies one of your rooms—just like that, for decades. To make matters worse, they install cameras and microphones in your bedroom, living room, and even your bathroom, monitoring your every move at will. Whenever you or other flat-owners in the building—or even nearby neighbors—try to resist, you’re all shot at: newborns, children, women, and men. But that same despicable neighbor controls the media and academia, manipulating narratives so you’re not even allowed to name the injustice. Instead, you’re expected to obey and submit like a traumatized, abused animal.

This neighbor is Israel. No one “invited” retribution. If you haven’t been paying attention to the almost 50,000 massacred civilians in Gaza, or the thousands killed in Lebanon in 1976, 1982, 2006, and now in 2024, I urge you to learn the history. I refuse to act as a traumatized, defeated victim. When I see a killer occupying one of my rooms after massacring tens of thousands of my neighbors, I refuse to cower and accept it. If you choose to live that way, that is your choice—but millions like me will not.

Lebanon is far greater than any one political party. When a genocidal aggressor oppresses our sovereignty, violates our independence, and targets our civilians, our internal differences become secondary. In war, when faced with an enemy intent on domination, I stand with my fellow Lebanese siblings to defend our land and dignity—not side with an aggressor seeking our submission. This fight is about survival, dignity, and the right to live free from tyranny.

And as for what Lebanese women can and cannot wear—go on YouTube, see for yourself, and realize just how wrong and brainwashed you have been.
