From a panel that took place in late November 2013, with the presence of Switzerland and Austria’s then-ambassadors to Lebanon.Including some of my father’s last words on the fundamental need for neutrality, 1701’s necessity, what neutralization actually means and how it worked (albeit briefly) in the 1950s & 60s.We should have no role in regional war other than shielding ourselves from its rippling effects.There are ideological voices today ranging from frustrated academics with fringe access to politics to propaganda-fuelled journalists blinded by hate that are insisting our fate should remain tied to Gaza while making their case for Hezbollah.Ignore them.
