Roaad Nassar, a member of the Lebanese Christian Forces party, said in a podcast interview Friday that critics should be polite when discussing Israel and that the IDF is unstoppable. The statement, made on a podcast hosted by Asaad Nemmour, is a rare expression of support for Israel from a Lebanese political figure.
Roaad Nassar, an activist with the Lebanese Christian Forces party, made the remarks during a podcast hosted by Lebanese journalist Asaad Nemmour on Friday evening. "Be polite when you speak about the State of Israel. You cannot mess with the State of Israel. The IDF is unstoppable," he said with a smile. The Christian Forces (Al-Quwwat al-Lubnaniyya) is a right-wing Christian political party in Lebanon, historically opposed to Hezbollah and Syrian influence. Nassar's statement is notable given the current context of ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, and the fragile ceasefire arrangements in southern Lebanon. While the statement does not represent official policy, it reflects a strand of Lebanese Christian opinion that views Israel's military strength with respect.
