@YafiGhias ما بدّي.

@MZYouhana Ask him, maybe he wants them to do the compromise.

[Nadim Shehadi نديم شحاده @Confusezeus]

A killer regimr is a killer regime whatever the circumstances.

@Confusezeus @karimbitar @stephenWalt Which the state of war made easier, much like this state of war. It’s the biggest gift to the regime in my lifetime

@YafiGhias Sovereignty and Liberation from IRGC control, not only for us but for the whole region including Iran itself.

@Beirutspring @rmslim @realDonaldTrump What it means is Iran gets credit for cease-fire.

[Nadim Shehadi نديم شحاده @Confusezeus]

@safieddine00 A headline like this does not help. It portrays Lebanon as merely a go between with Hizballah.

[Nadim Shehadi نديم شحاده @Confusezeus]

@MZYouhana Yes but it is about IRGC control of the whole region including holding the GCC hostage. That's why compromise with them is impossible.

Majority of Lebanese Support Peace Agreement with Israel, Poll Finds

A majority of Lebanese respondents support a peace agreement with Israel, according to a new poll conducted by the International Information Company in Lebanon and published by Al-Jadeed.

Support is highest among Druze (84%), followed by Maronites (77%) and Orthodox Christians (72%), while a slight majority of Sunnis (52%) also back a deal. In contrast, 92% of Shi’ite respondents oppose a peace agreement.

@sareemakdisi Yes you do, capitalism and neoliberalism vs. assassinations, wars and paralysis. Which will bankrupt a country?

[Nadim Shehadi نديم شحاده @Confusezeus]

@MZYouhana It's the other way round, the war with Iran has nothing to do with you and me. It is between the likes of the IRGC and Smotrich following October 7 rules.

[Nadim Shehadi نديم شحاده @Confusezeus]

@sareemakdisi There are two narratives and I will let you decide.

@sareemakdisi Now that's the best description of the of Hizballah I have seen.

[Nadim Shehadi نديم شحاده @Confusezeus]

@sareemakdisi You're learning fast.

[Nadim Shehadi نديم شحاده @Confusezeus]

@sareemakdisi You can only capitulate and ask for help when you are a hostage captured by a narco-trafikking criminal organization.

[Nadim Shehadi نديم شحاده @Confusezeus]

@abou_ahmad_lb 2nd best - regime change should have happened in 2013-14.

[Nadim Shehadi نديم شحاده @Confusezeus]

Absolutely

[Randa Slim @rmslim]

The accumulation of bad news from the Middle East eventually reaches a threshold where hope stops feeling like a reasonable response.

[Nadim Shehadi نديم شحاده @Confusezeus]

@MZYouhana @karimbitar @stephenWalt Oh Bummer not Bush handed Iraq to Iran and betrayed the Syrian revolution.
