![Lee O’Brien: Lebanon/West Bank](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Interview with Lee O’Brien on her experiences in Lebanon and the West Bank. O’Brien has observed many changes during the past year and a half and she explains the current situation. Since the signing of the Israeli-Egyptian treaty, O’Brien describes war and suffering being forced onto Southern Lebanon and the West Bank. After signing the treaty, O’Brein explains Israel’s policies toward Southern Lebanon and its change since 1978. Previously, limited retaliatory raids and occasional massive invasions were used. After the treaty, preemptive strikes to crush Palestinian resistance and Lebanese citizenship have been facilitated by Major Hadad a renegade fascist Lebanese official. As the autonomy talks approached on May 26, Israel is using massive amounts of force to weaken anti-Zionist resistance. Due to murders, bombings, indiscriminate shelling, and house raids, the Autonomy talks are also affecting the West Bank as well. Similar to Lebanon, the west bank is receiving an intense amount of violence.
