Can You Really Feel Me?

Blueman

Reflecting on the July 2006 War and UNSCR 1701 eighteen years later, during a time of escalation and regional war's expansion.

Looking back on humanitarian assistance in times of emergency and crisis, the Lebanese government's negotiating role in helping shape UNSCR 1701, a return to border conflict and battlefield over armistice and deterrence and the lack of state agency bringing us closer to Hezbollah's interests.

With Sarah Borgi - economist and independent consultant.

Summer & War with Sarah Borgi (Ep.406)

From a panel that took place in late November 2013, with the presence of Switzerland and Austria’s then-ambassadors to Lebanon.

Including some of my father’s last words on the fundamental need for neutrality, 1701’s necessity, what neutralization actually means and how it worked (albeit briefly) in the 1950s & 60s.

We should have no role in regional war other than shielding ourselves from its rippling effects.

There are ideological voices today ranging from frustrated academics with fringe access to politics to propaganda-fuelled journalists blinded by hate that are insisting our fate should remain tied to Gaza while making their case for Hezbollah.

Ignore them.
