That will pose a problem, obviously, first and foremost for us, like for the Lebanese and people who live in Lebanon.
But it is also a problem geopolitically.
It's a problem internationally.
It will freak out the EU in terms of the refugee crisis, because the EU has actually counted on Lebanon to keep a lot of people in Lebanon.
They send like a billion euros.
I think it was two or three years ago or something like that.
I wrote about it at the time, actually, because Lebanon had the highest percentage, maybe still does now, I don't know, of refugees per capita, so to speak, compared to citizens in the world.
one million or so senior refugees with roughly five million Lebanese or something like that along those lines.
There's no census in Lebanon.
So I'm saying all of this to sort of emphasize why there is this sense of despair in the country and why if that's not even remotely addressed, whatever fires we're seeing now, whatever horrors we're seeing, I just don't see any way they will stop anytime soon.
Whatever happens even to Hezbollah next, there's no reason to imagine that some other group wouldn't be formed at some point because people live there.
People are from that land.
We're talking about a million people.
They have nowhere else to go.
It's not like the Lebanese passport is so good that you can just go on a flight and go elsewhere.
There's nowhere else.
They're just going to stay in Lebanon.
And many of them would want to, of course, go back to South Lebanon.
This problem is not going away.
But if you hear the rhetoric of your Netanyahu, your other politicians, this is not part of the picture.
