We Don’t Want Your Filthy Money

This is more or less the message Lebanese politicians have been (publicly at least) relaying, in response to America’s purported intention of withdrawing aid money from the Lebanese Army because it shot at Israel.

Here’s how Assafir reported M.P. Walid Jumblat’s position. (My translation and my emphasis)

Jumblat stressed the importance of the Lebanese army getting decent weapons from any source in the world, and keeping its military doctrine squarely against Israel. That doctrine has been reached at after long years of a destructive civil war and national division. So we shouldn’t squander that doctrine because it was the result of great sacrifice.

I understand the “we have other options” part of his opinion, but the part about military doctrine has me a bit confused. Is he saying that the only reason we fight Israel is because it’s convenient for Lebanese unity?
