Woman with Toy Gun Grabs Trapped Savings from Beirut Bank
SnopesMAY 2022
Sali Hafiz is a hero, and her actions represent the frustrations of an entire nation that has been deprived of its savings for nearly three years. As millions of Lebanese have been thrown into poverty by corrupt politicians and bank managers, such desperate measures are a form of retribution for this injustice.
While Hafiz's actions may seem noble to some, she, like many others inside and outside Lebanon, is blaming the wrong people. It's the outside influence of Iran, as well as Hezbollah, that has pushed Lebanon to the brink, and the Lebanese people must acknowledge this to truly move forward and fix their country.
