Lebanon's Deep State Influence
The article discusses Lebanon's political, economic, and social situation, highlighting the state of apathy and submission that Lebanese people suffer from in the face of escalating crises. It compares this passivity to the German people's attitude during the rise of the Nazis, according to Niemoller. The writer connects the inertia of the Lebanese to their complicitness with the deep state apparatus, which controls key institutions in the country and steals people's rights, all while taking no decisive action or engaging in genuine protests. The article also points out the deterioration of public services and institutions, the worsening of financial and political corruption, and the authorities’ handling of corruption files—files that lack accountability. It emphasizes that conditions are worsening while those in power ignore the demands of the people, despite the accumulated crises and calamities Lebanon has faced, especially in the south. Yet, citizens have not mobilized to reclaim their rights or to firmly reject this indifference.
