This is a series of CBSI on the world. I'm John Bachelor with Malcolm

Holheim Conference of Presidents Major American Jewish Organizations and we're very pleased to welcome

Jonathan Al-Koree who's going to help us understand Lebanon right now

understanding that there is a major war threatened.

Hezbollah, the gangsters who dominate the Lebanese population right now with violence

have been raining missiles and anti-tank guns and drones down upon

Israel for nine and a half months. They cannot be permitted to occupy the border

therefore either war fighting or negotiation.

Worst case scenario would suggest that the Lebanese population, non-Hisbela, are aware of this threat.

Jonathan, a very good evening to you. What are the people of Lebanon

doing to protect themselves? Is there any is there any recourse for them if the war

fighting begins? Good evening to you. Good evening to you and ours listeners I think it was a great introduction because it

shows the complexity of what's going on between Hezbollah and Israel but it

also shows a complexity that Hezbollah is having within the

Lebanese society also. And someone that has been following on, since I'm a

former Lebanese citizen myself, I've been following on what's going on and you can say almost since day one

when Hezbollah starting to firing rockets towards northern of Israel on October 8th, just one day after Hamas initiated and ignited

this last war that has been going on for almost nine and a half months, there has been an outcry and voices within the Lebanese community

against having a war with Israel.

They say, first and foremost, Gaza is not a Lebanese cause.

So why are we getting ourselves involved in someone else's cause

that will at the end of the day lead for major destruction within Lebanon itself.
