“It would be as though you dropped us in the middle of a desert”

November 8, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

An Israeli website has an article saying that the people of Ghajar are upset that they are returning to Lebanon:

I oppose this decision,” Nasser Moustafa, a resident of Ghajar, told The Media Line. “People here are completely dependent on Israel. Lebanon has no means of taking care of us: no electricity, no medical services. It would be as though you dropped us in the middle of a desert.”

To put in mildly, I don’t think Nasser Moustafa will get the red-carpet treatment once Ghajar is returned.
