🛑#Lebanon is under Iranian occupation . A powerful message from Makram Rabah- assistant professor of history in the American University in Beirut: Lebanese people, you need to stop lying to yourselves. This country isn't "stuck" in a regional war, and it's not a victim of chance or bad luck. The truth is simpler and harsher: Lebanon is under Iranian occupation, and that's the real reason it's turning into a killing field. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah are using the Lebanese—all Lebanese—as human shields. This isn't a slogan. It's not an exaggeration. This is reality. More than a hundred Israeli strikes on Lebanon should be a wake-up call. Your home isn't safe, your neighborhood isn't safe, your area isn't safe—not because that's fate, but because there are people who've decided to use these civilian spaces for their projects: hiding their weapons, holding their meetings, running their networks, storing their money among the people, and meeting their mistresses. You're not protected. You're exposed, and you're dead—don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just hours before Beirut's fragile calm was shattered by bombs, Hezbollah wasn't preparing for de-escalation or a solution. It was consolidating its control—political and military—in something like a gradual coup, cloaked under the banner of "divine victory." And that banner effectively gives it the right to silence any opponent, threaten them, and if necessary, kill them. This isn't resistance. This is madness. Sure, the bombs that fell on Beirut will leave scars. But Beirut is used to healing its wounds and getting back up. What won't heal is something else: the persistence of this toxic sectarian logic that's turned Lebanese people—especially the Shiites—into tools in a project bigger than them. A project that doesn't ask them, doesn't represent them, but demands they pay the price. That's the logic that's turned Lebanon into a country of permanent displacement. People flee, come back, and flee again. And every time, they're told "just hold on." This isn't resilience. This is slow collapse. And if it stays like this, the outcome is clear: an explosion from within. Salvation today doesn't come from slogans. It comes from a simple act: defending your life. Your kids' lives. Your family's lives. And not letting anyone convince you that this reality is normal or something you have to accept. Hezbollah won't stop. Because its survival is tied to this reality, even if the price is the whole country. And here's the real question: Are you going to keep living in a system that's turning your homes into targets, or are you going to start reclaiming your country—the state, the streets, and what it means to be a citizen? And if there are weapons, or elements, or networks operating from between the houses, the responsibility isn't to ignore it or adapt. The responsibility is to reject it, expose it, and demand that this reality be addressed within the law, collectively, and if necessary, even if it scratches your nail against your skin. Anything less than that is foolishness, and foolishness kills.
