The unleashing of the Jewish armada and the never-ending air strikes on the Palestinian people and Hamas have caused the death of over 900 people by the lowest estimates. As a Middle Easterner and as a moderate individual with idealistic point of views, I am led to believe that the majority of the world understands the ordeal that has been bestowed upon the people of Gaza.

Whether the culprit is the un-relinquishing rocket attacks into Northern Israel (Hamas) or the never-ending expansion of the Jewish settlements within the disputed territories or even the sub-human conditions of every day life in the Gaza strip, one must wonder what is the overall objective of this ground invasion of Palestine.

Could it be that the reason why Israel is calling up 2000 reservists is to expand this invasion into Southern-Lebanon? Is Hizballah next? Well as Lebanese, the latter question arises a multitude of fears.

If, God forbid, these Western-backed incursions continue on to the doorsteps of Sayyed Nasrallah’s bunkers, not only will it be a foreign occupation of our homelands but a lethal blow to our emerging economy. Bear with me and let us evaluate such an outcome. There are three things to consider when weighing out this situation: the Lebanese armies’ stance towards Hizballah (from the threats of Ehud Barak, “we consider the army and Hizballah as one”), the magnified Palestinian camps within Lebanon and adversely the possible unification of the Lebanese people in case of an invasion.

Consider the first element mentioned, basically if Israel goes about a campaign where it makes no distinction between non-Hizballah partisans and Hizballah militants. In the latter case this not only would subject the Lebanese people to death, injury and humiliation at the hands of foreign/Jewish occupational armies, it would as well make Lebanon, once again, the battlefield it once was in the 1970’s and 1980’s.

Looking at the second element, the Palestinian camps, it becomes obvious these impoverishes, lawless environments will not only prove to be a threat to stability within our borders but also a fertile beacon of Jihadists military organizations. Consequently, the camps will burst and revenge will be taken at the expense of anti-Hizballah/anti-Syrian Lebanese militias and civilians that are believed to have collaborated with the Neighboring Jewish State. The preceding situation, in my opinion will be accelerated by the disorganization and destruction of the army by the invading forces, thus creating a window of opportunity, where unchecked Palestinian organizations would prove quite efficient versus barely trained anti-Syrian coalitions.

Finally, the third and in my opinion, least plausible situation would be the unification of the Lebanese throughout the country in demanding protection for all it’s citizens and maybe even an armed resistance against a thin 30,000 strong invading army armed with the latest technology. We all hope it will not come to that, but with an eager Israeli Neoconservative government, much worse is possible.

After having written all of the above one must wonder what is Syria’s stance on this situation? Well, isn’t it obvious? During the building up of negotiations between Syria and Israel, I’m guessing Syria had a concession to make and that concession might have been Hizballah and Hamas. Therefore, history repeats itself, in the 80’s Assad sold out the PLO for regional concessions (Lebanon), today Syria sells out Hizballah-Hamas and it’s ties with Iran for something far to similar, Lebanon.

Obviously these are all gruesome predictions, but shedding an eye on the emerging conflict, one realize how close to reality all this humbug might be. Further on, one must lay blame where blame deserves to be laid. Present Elect Obama has demonstrated his aligned stance with Israel and his conformity to the Jewish media by release absurd statements and not condemning the use of Phosphoric weaponry.

What kind of conscious leaders, whether the ever chest inflating and rhetoric experts of Damascus, the ultra conservative government of Canada or the ruthless thugs of the New proclaimed world order, such as the Bush legacy and Rockefeller stooge Henry Kissinger can sit aside and watch children perish under the rubble of Palestine. What is required for the people of the Arab world to realize that the only method to fight the growth of Israel is knowledge? Knowledge is power, an AK-47 cannot stand up to a tank or an F-16, but an ideology of a free Palestine, a free Lebanon and a free Middle-East from internal and external tyranny, will never die, because Ideas do not perish, they do not die, they remain after there barrens give their lives.

I am a McGill University Student, from the halls of Engineering to the halls of the Medicine Faculty, Arabic can always be heard: that is Strength. That is strength Mr. Mashaal, now go back to Palestine and die for that ideology that has mangled the whole of Palestine.
