Elias Bejjani/Text and Video/The Lebanese Zajal Troupe’s Echo: Come, Let’s Congratulate Mikati/ Remember That Mikati is an Assad-made puppet, full of empty rhetoric, & brought in as PM by Hezbollah. Elias Bejjani/October 18, 2024
In the spirit of the “Let’s congrtulate Mikati” culture, today a large number of politicians, journalists, and activists from the Lebanese Zajal troupes suffered from verbal diarrhea and a state of “hypocrisy and babble.” They expressed, in their poetic fashion tweets and statements, their amazement at Mikati’s so-called courage, claiming that he “drank lion’s milk” for denouncing a statement by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, which insulted Lebanon’s sovereignty and independence. Ghalibaf reportedly told a French newspaper that Tehran was ready to negotiate with France regarding the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
It’s both strange and amusing how these hypocritical “echoes” drown in their own sycophancy. Where was Mikati during the Beirut port explosion, when Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon literally controlled the situation? Where was his so-called “lion’s milk” when the Iranian Foreign Minister came to Lebanon and prevented Mikati and Berri from acting on what they had agreed with Jumblatt, namely the demand to implement international Resolution 1701 and call for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iranian terrorist militia? And where were all these mouthpieces when Mikati cowardly, sycophantically, and brazenly declared that the decision of war and peace does not rest in the hands of the Lebanese government, saying, “We did not declare war, so we cannot end it”?
Because these hypocrites have the memory of a fish, let’s remind them—though they surely know better—that Mikati is a product of the criminal Assad regime. He is corrupt and a thief, having amassed his wealth from the pockets of the Lebanese people. It was the Assad regime that inserted him into Lebanese politics, and Hezbollah that appointed him as head of the current government, which is 100% a Hezbollah government. He is nothing more than a mouthpiece and a puppet, just like all his ministers and, with them, Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri, who has been tamed, stripped of his authority, and had his freedom confiscated since the battles of Iqlim al-Tuffah. Therefore, there is no value or weight to their false claims of a Mikati “uprising,” for the man is, in reality, merely a tool—nothing more than a tool—in the hands of Hezbollah, the Iranian terrorist militia. End of story.
