The marginalization of South Lebanon is not a recent phenomenon but a founding feature of the Lebanese Republic. Its first president advocated expelling the indigenous Shia of Jabal Amel and replacing them with Jewish zionist settlers.

Many of these “activists” speak as if South Lebanon has accepted occupation, and as if surrender is inevitable. It’s not, it’s not even an option. You misunderstand this land and do not know its people. Keep your defeatism to yourself, it has no place among us.
“We need to create sober, patient people, who do not despair in the face of the worst horror and who do not get excited about every little thing. Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.”
— Antonio Gramsci
