Like the rest of the world, there is boiling anger in Lebanon among the masses at the Israeli states brutal attack on Gaza. Many are taking to the streets in daily protests and demonstrations against the vicious Israeli massacres carried out against the people of Gaza.
The biggest demo was a mass protest organized by Hezbollah on the 29 December which was called for by its general secretary, Hassan Nasrallah, in his last televised speech. Nasrallah appealed to the masses of the Arab world to take to the streets in continuous mass action.
He said: It does not matter what your ideologies and beliefs are to the US, what matters is if you stand in the way of the American Israeli agenda. You can even be a Muslim, Communist, Marxist, Leninist, or Maoist, and the US would welcome you on board as long as you allow it to carry out its program. Even Hamas would be welcomed today to the US for a deal if Hamas agrees to the US Israeli politics. This war is against anyone who is resisting . I appeal to the people of the Arab and Muslim world to take to the streets to put pressure on their regimes and to the Egyptian president to open the Rafah borders immediately!
Nasrallah never explained what the US Israeli agenda is or how it can be defeated, but he mentioned that the US is suffering an economic recession and that the Arab world has oil and water and could force the US and Israel to stop the massacres immediately.
The CWI in Lebanon has produced the leaflet below in response to the existing awareness among the Lebanese and Arab masses in regards to the US Israeli agenda of a New Middle East and the recognized role of Arab regimes in this Israeli state terror. The definition New Middle East was used by Rice when she blatantly defended the 2006 Israeli war on Hezbollah in Lebanon where ferocious attacks killed 1,200 civilians and destroyed tens of thousands of homes within 33 days.
