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.

This has nothing to do with what their intentions are.

They're exclusively talking to other Israelis.

The debate is not...

whether we should destroy South Lebanon or whether we should destroy Lebanon itself.

The debate is what do we do once it's destroyed?

And even that is barely a debate, but like that's the extent of where it goes in terms of like Israeli discourse.

And yeah, I guess maybe just to drive the point home that if the Israelis themselves are not stopped in one way or another by their allies, obviously America has the biggest leverage or the EU being the second closest one, in one way or another, whatever the means are, economic boycott, withdrawing your ambassador, as Spain has done a couple of weeks ago, but just like on a global scale, like even maybe dwarfing the boycott campaign against apartheid in South Africa at the time,

This problem is just going to expand.

And people listening to this, of course, see that, see a version of that.

Iran can just close the Strait of Hormuz and then suddenly everyone, this is everyone's problem.

Israel and America bombing those oil depots.
