إن اتفاق الإطار بين لبنان وإسرائيل، والذي أشرف على إنجازه الرئيس جوزاف عون بالتفاهم والتشاور مع رئيس الحكومة نواف سلام، هو أهم خطوة سياسية قامت بها الدولة اللبنانية منذ نصف قرن، لإخراج لبنان واللبنانيين من المأزق المأساوي وتداعياته بسبب "المقاومات" المتعاقبة على أرض الجنوب.
إن اتفاق الإطار هذا لا يقتصر على إخراج الإسرائيليين من لبنان، ليعود أهالي الجنوب إلى مناطقهم وقراهم، بل إنه، عندما يُطبَّق، سيقفل نهائيا الخاصرة النازفة في جنوبنا، والتي أدمت اللبنانيين جميعا، وفي طليعتهم أهل الجنوب، وأفقدتنا الاستقرار، وعطّلت بنسب متفاوتة العمل الوطني والسياسي في البلد، وأدّت إلى انهيارات اقتصادية ومالية لم يسلم منها بيت في لبنان.
إن هذه الخاصرة النازفة، وبخلاف ادعاء "المقاومين" على مختلف مآكلهم ومشاربهم، لم تقدّم شعرة واحدة للقضية الفلسطينية، في الوقت الذي دمّرت فيه لبنان مرارا وتكرارا. ومن جهة أخرى، فإن اتفاق الإطار، عندما يُطبَّق، لن يقتصر على إخراج الإسرائيليين من أرضنا، وعلى إقفال الخاصرة النازفة في الجنوب فحسب، بل سيخلّصنا أيضا من إشكالية وطنية كبيرة عشنا معها في السنوات الخمسين الماضية، ألا وهي وجود تنظيمات عسكرية خارج الدولة، وفي طليعتها "حزب الله"، تتصرف بقرار الحرب والسلم على هواها وتبعا لمصالح خارجية، ومن دون الأخذ في الاعتبار مصالح لبنان واللبنانيين، ما أدى إلى هزالة الدولة اللبنانية وعدم أخذها على محمل الجد من جميع أصدقاء لبنان شرقا وغربا. واستطراداً، فإن اتفاق الإطار هذا سيُخرج النفوذ الإيراني اللامحدود وغير الشرعي من دوائر القرار اللبناني، والذي كان يدفع بالمواقف والخيارات اللبنانية باتجاهات تخدم مصالح إيران وليس مصالح لبنان واللبنانيين، ويعيد العلاقات بين لبنان وإيران إلى ما كانت عليه قبل نصف قرن: علاقات دبلوماسية طبيعية بين دولتين لمصلحة شعبيهما.
أما الذين استفاقوا اليوم ويصرخون: "إنها الفتنة"، فليتهم تذكروا أن الفتنة كانت عندما طُبِّق اتفاق الطائف في المجال الأمني والعسكري على أناس ولم يُطبَّق على آخرين، بحجج واهية لم تنطلِ على أحد، والدليل الأكبر هو ما آلت إليه أوضاعنا في الوقت الحاضر. والذين استفاقوا اليوم أيضا على اتفاق الهدنة، فيا ليتهم حرّكوا ساكناً عندما بدأ العبث باتفاقية الهدنة منذ العام 1964، بدلا من البكاء الآن على أطلالها.
وأريد أن أذكّر الجميع، خصوصا الذين يدّعون أن هذا الاتفاق لا يستقيم وليس شرعيا ولم يأخذ في الاعتبار رأي شريحة من اللبنانيين، بأن السلطة الشرعية في لبنان اليوم تتكوّن، وكما في أكثرية بلدان العالم، من رئيس الجمهورية والحكومة والمجلس النيابي. ورئيس الجمهورية العماد جوزاف عون، الذي أشرف على إنجاز هذا الاتفاق، كان قد انتخبه شرعيا وقانونيا 99 نائبا من أصل 128، وهذه الحكومة قد نالت الثقة مرتين بما يلامس ثلثي أصوات المجلس الذي انتخبه الشعب اللبناني.
وفي النهاية، هذه أكبر فرصة سنحت للبنان ليخرج من الأوضاع المأسوية التي عاشها في السنوات الخمسين الأخيرة، فعلينا جميعا أن نتلقفها ونقف وراء سلطاتنا الشرعية للخروج مما نحن فيه بأسرع وقت ممكن، بدلا من إضاعة الوقت بطروحات وبطولات أكل الدهر عليها وشرب… حتى ثمل اللبنانيون جميعا.
I agree with the rest of the points, but no - women are treated as equally valuable because of other strong women, and not because of any religion.
I will die on that hill.
We fought tooth and nail for millennials to break free of being viewed as property, in all religions.
Christianity is the reason women are treated as equally valuable in our society instead of subjugated.
Christianity is the reason that slavery was ended in our society.
Christianity is the reason we allow other religions to exist in our society.
Christianity is the reason we have laws that declare the accused as innocent until proven guilty.
Christianity is the reason we care for the elderly, handicapped, and poor instead of disposing of them.
Christianity is the reason we sacrifice for the good of future generations.
So yah, teaching the Bible in public schools is probably a good idea.
✝️🇦🇲 Never forget the #Armenian Genocide that martyred 1.5 million blessed #Christians.
Rare archival footage of #Armenians on death marches - endless suffering, stolen childhoods, lost generations.

🚨 BREAKING: Historic move with obvious implications for Israel’s already strained ties with Turkey:
Israel’s government has unanimously approved Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s proposal to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide.
Sa’ar told the cabinet:
“It is never too late to do the right thing.”
I honestly don't give a shit about people and their personal choices in life... it's when they start being violent, killing others and try to impose their beliefs on others that I draw the line.
Hand shake is a stupid example to be upset over. People don't have to touch other people to make you feel comfortable.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but wanting to preserve your culture is not racist.
And saying that some cultures carry values that are fundamentally incompatible with your civilization isn’t racist either. Judgment on the basis someone’s skin color alone is ALWAYS bad. Judgment about beliefs, laws, customs, and whether others can coexist with the society you are trying to preserve is NOT bad, but necessary.
A civilization that is too ashamed to defend itself will eventually be replaced by people who are not ashamed of theirs.
Candace got engaged over FT after having known Boy George for 18 days with zero romance, but wants to tell you that Charlie and Erika’s marriage is fake.
ty for the great video @eli.yaakov_ (IG) showcasing exactly who we’re dealing with. Palestine is a lie, and all you have to do to find that out is look it up. They don’t even put effort into their lies, but they can’t help doing it anyway cause they lie like they breathe.
She's not questioning the "government narrative" she's making people question reality. It's actually a very cultish move - if no one can be trusted anymore (not just gov, also his friends, family, experts, doctors, lawyers), and everyone is out to get you, then Candace becomes the only person you CAN trust, on anything. From that moment she can tell people that the earth is flat and people will be like "Ya, LiKe I'll TuST GoveRMent TeLLing me ThE EarTH iS RoUnd. ThEy ArE oNlY saYinG it tO ConTroL oUr bRaiNs!" 🤡
I like Joel, but even he's falling for this psyop.
Islamists are not communist. Communism is merely their entry ticket, the end goal is conquest and imposing Sharia.
Ask Iran 🇮🇷
Good luck New York. You guys are dumb as f. You forgot 9/11 in less than 30 years.
That's step 1 of the communist playbook.
Step 2 is to hit them with crushing fines and inspections they can’t possibly afford
Step 3 is confiscating their property and turning it into a government slum hellscape funded by the productive class
@JoelWBerry New Yorkers are stupid, and once the people with money leave and prices drop because no one ones to live in the newly created shit hole - yall are gonna be surprised when Muslim immigrants and Qatari money buy the property. By the time people wake up, New York will be gone.
The most fascinating 16 minutes I have spent.
Isreal bombed three churches in an active war and that’s the only thing you heard about in the press and on X.
Russia bombed 737 churches in Ukraine and silence. But that’s not even the telling part.
1-3% of Ukraine is Protestant. Guess how many Protestant churches Russia bombed?
450 out of 737.
Spoiler: not random. Very targeted.
By Russia.
Defenders of Christianity Tucker Carlson and the Christian Taliban?
Silence.
@NJBeisner As a Jew... you kinda made look into Zachariah's prophecies and now I'm low key panicking because what do you mean 2/3 of Israel will be wiped out right before salvation and the end of days 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Seeing this tweet from @dbelhoul. I grew up down the street from the Iranian hospital in Dubai. Some of my best friends were part of the Iranian diaspora who fled the Ayatollah. Iranian proxies tried to blow up my school when I was in 5th grade and my dad’s oil platform in the Persian Gulf when I was in 9th grade, with my dad on it. My family hosted the 5th fleet enlisted every time a ship came into dry docks. The UAE is no fan of Iran. It just left OPEC for a greater solidarity with the United States. And then the present American administration, after multiple Iranian attacks on Dubai and Abu Dhabi, decided to give up a war and tell the UAE it was on its own to navigate the fall out after the UAE stood with us and actually fought Iran too. So the UAE repositioned itself as the top Arab ally of the United States, attacked Iran with us, and saw the US give up the war and enrich Iran.
Israeli Yemenite-Jewish transgender singer Dana International posted pictures from her photoshoot in Egypt back in 1997.
The Egyptian government wasn’t aware of her being there and she had to escape the next day. Iconic.
One of the most thought provoking speeches I've seen in a while.
@Miss_Snuffy on how raising a generation to see the world through oppressors and the oppressed is changing the West.
If you don't have time, bookmark it. It's worth every second.
WATCH:
For the first time in Lebanon’s history, Lebanon and Israel have signed a formal trilateral framework under the sponsorship and participation of the United States. This marks a historic milestone and a decisive step toward achieving a just and lasting peace with Israel, resolving longstanding issues through diplomacy, strengthening the authority of the Lebanese state, ensuring that arms remain exclusively in the hands of the state, and ending the weapons of Hezbollah and all militias, thereby creating the conditions necessary for security, stability, and prosperity.
We welcome the role of the United States as a trusted strategic partner and guarantor of this framework. Its direct participation provides the confidence, credibility, and international assurances necessary to ensure the success of this process, consolidate peace, strengthen Lebanon’s sovereignty, security, and stability, and open new horizons for development and prosperity.
