*Jordanian journalist reveals the true secret of Lebanon!*
A few days ago, Jordanian journalist Abdul Hadi Raji Al-Majali wrote a remarkable article in the newspaper *Al-Raii* entitled *Lebanon*, in which he stated:
What do we mean by a strong state?
*The Zionist entity*, for example, made important preparations in anticipation of the strike, fortifying the home front.
They provided all ministers and army commanders with satellite phones...
They also opened shelters, found alternative fuel sources in case tanks were hit, provided massive quantities of medicine, contacted the West for military support, and even established a hotline with the US Central Command to secure continuous military assistance in case of a major attack.
What has Lebanon done?
I watch Lebanese TV channels and follow the news...
Lebanon is not very concerned about fuel, and its home front is completely secure...
Everyone there *loves each other...*
*Alyssa* produced a film on (Netflix) about her personal life, and this *film gained popularity in the scene*...
This is causing *controversy* in people's conversations.
*Restaurants* also produced special offers, for example, one restaurant in Beirut *offered an offer of (15) dollars* in which you could eat as much fresh seafood as you wanted and drink as much as you wanted.
Therefore, Elias decided to take his wife, his mother-in-law, his wife's sister, and their neighbor (Um Hussein) to the restaurant today...
Wael Kfoury held a lively concert and the tickets sold out in one hour.
*Question: What is the secret of Lebanon?...*
Lebanon is a very strange country; during war, people treat missiles as firecrackers.
And they go out into the streets and don't ask...
In the midst of *bank collapse* and *hard currency shortages*, *George* insists on going to the beach and *inviting friends over* and gives you an *important theory in economics* which says:
*( Brother, God will make things easier)...*
The South is being bombed every day, homes are being destroyed and demolished, yet I haven't seen a single Lebanese person appear on television and complain.
I didn't see a single Lebanese person packing their belongings and leaving.
Then I don't see a *female news anchor crying* or a *protest criticizing the current situation*...
*The important thing is that the Lebanese national reservoir of love remains reassuring..*
Is *Lebanon a real country* or a *joy factory*?
I do not know the secret of this country, the secret of this power, and this might...
But what I do know is that Middle East Airlines is still operating and the beautiful flight attendants are still smiling when the planes take off...
*Lovers still meet in (Al-Rawsha)*, and it doesn't matter what happens...what matters is that love grows there like a tree...
And *Fairouz's songs* are not songs at all. Whoever said that Fairouz was singing *doesn't know Lebanon...*
Fairouz was *planting cedars in people's hearts*, and *watering the sea with Rahbani melodies....*
It doesn't matter to them if flour runs out in the markets; what matters is that joy never leaves Aboud's eyes.
And more importantly, *(Umm Elias)* is able to feed *the entire neighborhood*, as she has a stockpile of *(kibbeh)* sufficient for everyone...*
This great nation treats war as a joke.
It treats *martyrs* as a *normal situation...*
*Bleeding* has become the fate of *the Lebanese*,
They *pay* their blood for the sake of Palestine, Arabism, and religion, and for the sake of keeping *Beirut dear with complete satisfaction*, without *doing* favors to anyone and without asking for *praise* from anyone.
Do not register Lebanon with the United Nations as a state.
*They even recorded it as the world's largest factory of joy and sugar,*
And *beware of writing on your passport* a box that says:
*Lebanese nationality..*
Instead, write the nationality: *A lover who embodies history, stories, and Arab identity...*
And always remember that the hair clip that the girls of Ashrafieh put on their braids in the morning when they go out to work is stronger than David's slingshot, and stronger than the Iron Dome.
At least this *(buckle)...* contains the hair that *was bathed in the words of Gibran...* and the poems of Saiid Akl...* contains the strands of hair immortalized by *Azar Habib*, and sung by *Nasri Shamseddine...*
I laugh when I read in the news statements by Netanyahu saying: "Beirut will be destroyed if Tel Aviv is attacked..."
This man *doesn't know Lebanon at all..*
They don't know that they are the only people who made the sea of Beirut thirsty...so they quenched it with the voice of Fairouz and it was satisfied...
I'm going to Beirut tomorrow...
I want (the garden) to heal the stumbles of my soul and the weariness of my heart...
Long live Beirut...and let the sea thirst...Lebanon will remain the strongest.
*Abdul Hadi Raji Al-Majali*
I'm not sure if the writer is complementing or using his sarcasm with a twist, but the short article describes well the actual mood and attitudes prevailing in the country, even among the displaced, and the ones who lost loved ones, and the ones who lost their life long belongings and homes, they are all smiling even cheerful at some occasions, I had the message by email in Arabic, and thought of forwarding it to better understand how things are progressing in that unfortunate part of the world.
My gratitude, as always, to all.
