 American Chronicle: Our Lebanese People in Israel: Does Anyone Care?
May is the month of roses, but for us it is the month of thorns because on the 22nd of it in 2000, Israel withdrew its army from south Lebanon in application of UN resolutions 425 and 426, a full 22 years after the two resolutions were adopted by the Security Council (in 1978).
At the time, the Lebanese government was derelict in its national and humanitarian responsibilities because of its absolute servitude to the dictates of the Syrian occupier, and failed to fill the security gap and extend its authority, embodied in its own army and security forces, over the territory of the south.
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.
