We always hear about the “traitor rhetoric” in Lebanese politics. Nothing exemplifies this more than the recent uncovering of Israeli spies. Apparently, one spy is thought to have links to the Hariri’s Future Movement. Hezbollah wasted no time in jumping on this as proof that the Future Movement are in cahoots with the enemy and [...]
