Happy Anniversary bunch of liars!

April 13,
Friday 13,
37 years after...

Yeah yeah, the bus of Ain El Remmaneh, war symbol of Lebanon is out again for one day.
Yeah yeah, few people standing chanting "no to war again" (tenzakar w ma ten3ad).
Yeah yeah, you're watching TV from the luxury of your home, sitting on your couch, switching between electricity and generator, jumping to the roof checking your water tank, and cursing war and its memories.

Yeah yeah, you're all nothing but liars!
What have you learned from war? What are you doing to prevent it? What will you do tomorrow if it starts all over again?
I know you liars! I see what you're telling your kids inside your walls. Silly! you think they keep your hatred and your fear of "others" at home??? They carry it to schools and vomit it to their close friends without even knowing what they are saying! They are repeating your madness!Verbally for now, until next round.
Bravo to you! you deserve a standing ovation! Now you're sure to have your kid carry your flame, till grave do you apart.

Yeah yeah, I believe you when you say you love Lebanon! You love it your way, you see your truth, a tailor made country, created to fit your squeezed, narrowed tiny sick size.

Yeah yeah you're right
Yeah yeah, they're wrong
Yeah yeah, your God is better
Yeah yeah, he will prevail with your help
Yeah yeah, you don't want war but will not stand here watching if "they" start
Yeah yeah, you accept others, BUT
Yeah yeah, you respect diversity, BUT
Yeah yeah, you are Arabs, BUT
Yeah yeah, you want peace, BUT

Why don't you shut up a little, why don't you admit a little.
Admit you are the same as 37 years ago, following the same leaders, the same myths, the same policy, the same path???

You learned nothing! you are liars! Your new generation is the proof! Willing to go back to war if it starts, meanwhile doing nothing to prevent it. Look at them waiting for their sons to come back... This is war! it's death, loss, tears, and regrets...

You did nothing during all the time you had to learn, nothing but weep your destiny for being born in this part of the world. Nothing but chewing the same hatred and stereotypes. Nothing but electing and re-electing and re-re-electing the same people. Nothing but cursing them the next day you bring them for four years before going back to re-elect them once more.

You want things to change? really? you fat ass lazy corrupted little human beings! LIARS!
Read history, if you want to learn. But you choose the comfort of staying where they put you. You carry the Stockholm syndrome in your genes! Go read what Stockholm is all about!

You learned nothing!
And you're doomed to repeat your same mistakes.

So go on, cry a little, or cry a river, have your mea culpa for a few. Then go back to your hatred lessons again, you're so good at it!!!

  1. Spot on Tanya, spot on. I couldn't have said it better. This is exactly the thing that made me a foreigner in my own land when I decided to move in, the reason why I do not think of returning. The amount of hatred and hypocrisy is beyond anything I ever imagined before. When a politician does bad here, we vote him out, in Lebanon he perpetuates and hands over the seat to his son. One word, tfeh!

  4. Thank you so much TK for posting. Indeed, wherever we are, be it inside Lebanon or outside, we're the same...never learn, and on the contrary keep our perpetrators in command. Typical Stockholm Syndrome!
    Thank you again!

  5. Yes, TheChadi, absolutely. Hypocrisy is the word. We pretend something we're not. We only need a tiny scratch to show our darkest side still. Our hurt is still living inside us, we never pointed out what happened. We just decided to erase what happened and pretend everybody was somehow wrong or right, and now: bof bof bof, ini mini sini, we start over again as if nothing happened, but on the inside, we're all getting ready for the next round. I see this with the new generation I work with, heartbreaking!
    Thank you for your comment!

  6. Bravo!! combien de fois ai-je essayé de répondre à cette question tant posée par les gens que je croisais (évidemment pas au Liban): nous n'avons rien compris à votre guerre, qui était contre qui, qui avec qui? était-ce une histoire de guerre civile, de libanais entre eux, ou bien de pays voisins contre le Liban? pourquoi, si vous vous entendez si bien ensemble, y-a-t-il eu tous ces massacres plus sanglants les uns que les autres?... et j'en passe!!
    que répondre??? je commençais par une espèce d'analyse géopolitique pour finir par me rendre compte de l'absurdité de tout ce que je disais!!! et pire... de l'absurdité de tout ce que j'avais vécu pendant 15 ans pour finir par entendre, 37 ans plus tard, les mêmes phrases sorties des mêmes gueules (ou de leurs descendants!!): un écho amer de l'histoire qui remonte dans mon esprit comme une vieille nausée au fond de ma gorge nouée par un désespoir profond...

  8. Eh oui ma puce... Ni livres ni etudes pourront élucider notre secret. Nous avons le Stockholm Syndrome. Nous avons toujours été un champs fertile. Nous somme une poignée de gens, pas une population! Nous avons raté notre chance de construire une citoyenneté. Il suffit de gratter la surface pour que des monstres latents sortent illico.Toute une génération, prête d'une façon ou d'une autre à reprendre la guerre... Quel gâchis!
