Today is the 5th anniversary of the liberation of South Lebanon from brutal Israeli occupation. I send my congratulations to the people of South Lebanon--my people by birth--and beyond. Five years ago, my dissertation advisor, Michael Hudson, my sister Mirvat and I toured the entire region by car days after the day of liberation. I was slightly ill in the car and Michael was a careful observer--as always--locating every village on the map. We stood right at the border and looked at Palestine. It has always been melancholic for me to look at Palestine from South Lebanon. My anger will certainly subside if Palestine is liberated, but it will not completely go away. There are many other injustices around the world.
