Thousands of our southern Lebanese people, in the absence and absenteeism of the State, and fearing for their lives and the lives of their families from the threats hurled at them, were forced to leave their homes and lands and found shelter in Israel.
Similarly, many members and leaders of the South Lebanon Army that was dismantled in 2000, who are today refugees in Israel and other countries, were appointed into the ranks of that army by those parties and groups.
Let us say in all clean conscience to the leaders of those parties and groups, even if displeases them: Any condemnation of the South Lebanon Army members under the current independence is in fact a condemnation against them and against their own years of struggle.

Manuel Lorenzo Justiniano de Zavala y Sáenz was born the fifth of nine children of Anastasio de Zavala y Velázquez and María Bárbara Sáenz y Castro in the village of Tecoh near Mérida, Yucatán, on October 3, 1788.
Serving as an alternative to the Scottish Rite Grand Orient style of Masonry favored by the politically conservative and centralist leaders, the York Rite boasted a membership that championed liberal ideals and a decentralized, federal plan for government.
Zavala condemned the action stating: "a government that takes orders from armed masses is no longer a body politic." He further extended his protest by helping Santa Anna compose a letter, addressed to Burnet, denouncing his treatment at the hands of the mob.
