If still serious about its claimed "Moral and Religious duty toward the Palestinian cause" the "Resistance" should seize the opportunity to burnish the "Resistance" brand which the Party of God claims to lead. And it should recognize that "Resistance" means helping the Palestinian camp's needs including infrastructure improvements. And crucially it means that the "Resistance" must become serious about immediately granting Palestinian refugee the most elementary civil rights that every other refugee is automatically granted when her or his foot touches Lebanese soil.
On 9/11/2017 according to Beirut's pro-Hezbollah al-Akhbar daily Hassan Nasrallah insisted that Hezbollah "won the war in Syria," and that the party is "making history in the region." "We are aware of our situation regarding the war in Syria"and writing the region's history, not Lebanon's." Words that suggest that the "Resistance" has wider ambitions than supporting any fundamental rights for Palestinians in Lebanon.
Hopefully "The Resistance" will prove this tentative but rapidly growing conclusion premature by enacting via its political power in Parliament, civil rights for Palestinians in Lebanon, first among them being the rights to work and to own a home.
