Hi Moussa!
My name is Ifat, I’m a 24 year old student from Israel. I’d just like to say that I’m sick to the heart with what’s going on in Lebanon, and how each time it’s the regular normal people who suffer. I don’t understand what Hizballah are trying to achieve. Can you give me your thoughts on that?
In the meantime please continue laughing and keep safe,
Ifat :-)
What’s the big mystery? Siniora tried to make some tiny decisions to retake some control of Lebanon for the Lebanese people and Hizballah/Iran wants to make sure Siniora remembers that they are in charge.
