Lately, I was thinking about Bachir Gemayel famous words: “We were attacked as Christians but fought as Lebanese”.
What came to my mind was the obvious question: “What do Lebanese Christians want in this lovely country? this country who once, under their government, was the Switzerland of the Middle East”.
Yes, we are Lebanese before being Christians; And yes, Lebanon is our country and will always be.
We can travel the entire planet but we will keep our country in our heart and mind, days and nights. We will always wait the day when this country will be once again the jewel of the Middle East.
We are Lebanese first because many Lebanese, our ancestors in particular, gave their life to keep our beloved country free; Free for us to pray, to live our heritage and our culture; Free so that all Lebanese keep living in freedom and in dignity.
However, it is important to say that those Lebanese fighters were Christians and proud of themselves.
Therefore, I ask the Lebanese Christians again: What do you want?
Is it to live in dignity and prosperity under a fair democratic system or to succumb to a syrio-iranian dictatorship?
I beg you to ask yourselves these questions:
What is destroying the Lebanese Economy?
Who is using their military power, the so-called “Black Shirts”, to impose their law?
Which side is closing the Airport roads?’
Who is denying tourists and Lebanese families abroad from visiting Lebanon?
Who is terrorizing foreign artists and performers from coming to Lebanon?
Who is keeping the ‘Baalbek Festival’ from being held in Baalbek?
Who is defending dictatorships, those same dictators who terrorized our countrymen?
Remember the destruction of Achrafieh and Zahlé; who assassinated Bachir Gemayel, Dany Chamoun, Gebran Tueini, and Pierre Gemayel; Remember!
The answer to Bachir, Dany and Pierre, to all of our martyrs is very clear: The killer is the same since 1975.
Time for judgment is near and you will be the judge.
