“Some Lebanese-Americans protested an event at the Lebanese embassy ambassador’s residence in Washington, DC” on Friday, “accusing the Lebanese government of complicity in Israel’s killings of their family in the south,” according to Lebanese-American journalist Rania Khalek (@RaniaKhalek). ￭“This government has sold us out,” protestors cried. “Our family has been killed. Our land has been taken. My grandparents’ graves have been destroyed by Israel in cooperation with the Lebanese government… You’re trying to celebrate their culture while they’re being ethnically cleansed.” ￭ The protest comes as the Lebanese government continues direct negotiations with the Israeli occupation after removing Lebanon from the US-Iran deal, prolonging the massacres of their people, and pushing for a “ceasefire” in which the resistance stops fighting first, with no commitments from the Israelis.
