WIKILEAK: IN 2006 WAR, THE LEBANESE GOVERNMENT WAS ROOTING FOR THE IDF AND AGAINST HIZBALLAH
Go read the whole thing at the Astute Bloggers.Lebanese govt hoped Israel would disarm HezbollahSo now we know. In 2006, as Israel was bombing the Lebanese highways, power supplies, airport and oil reservoirs, the Lebanese prime minister was hoping that Israel would finish “the job” quickly and successfully.
Now we know. As over a quarter of the population was displaced from their homes under a threat of missiles, tank fire and artillery, the then commander of the army and now president of Lebanon was letting the Israeli government know that the Lebanese army would stand-down. As 10,000 homes were destroyed and over 1,300 Lebanese citizens were killed, the Lebanese government’s main concern was that this very real and very brutal Israeli reinvasion might lead to a “reoccupation” of Lebanon by Syria.
The recent publication of a new spate of WikiLeaks cables in the Lebanese daily newspaper Al-Akhbaris is bound to electrify the already on-edge political standoff in Lebanon.
