@halime_el As much as I agree with you, we need to start thinking pragmatically, this is our best bet for now at gaining back sovereignty and being able to at least have no other armies within Lebanon. We need to start somewhere not for us but for the next generation otherwis we risk it all
@AnaKasparian Please Ana you have absolutely no clue about our country so don't get out of bounds. He has started the actual only chance we get at getting our country back with borders and Israel out. Please just try to think ahead this is Lebanon, you just don't know how it works
@MagnifiqueTomy Je suis libanais. On a bcp de jeunes supers qui veulent fuirela guerre et avoir une chance ailleurs et on est bloqué à cause de gars oui de Somalie du Bangladesh qui n'en n'ont rien a battre pour la plupart de s'intégrer et qui nique tout pour tout le monde. Appellons un chat u
@MagnifiqueTomy Bah il a raison. C pas de l'islamophobie, faut arrêter deux secondes. Mais ce genre de postes et d itw bidons font qu une mini minorité qui n'en a rien à battre nique tout pour le reste des arabes ou musulmans qui sont là pour construire une vrai vie avec jobs études etc
@Enthoven_R Oublié plus de droits. Jouit il des MEMES droits universels de démocratie (je te précise la réponse avant que tu te lances dans un exercice de contorsionniste intellectuel )
@Enthoven_R Cher philosophe Enthoven - un francais qui est né en France a t'il plus de droits quun palestinien qui est né en Israël? Réponds donc à cela. C'est exactement la même question que tu poses no?
@OyVeyPope what would you say they have done then? A just war? Why raze the national archives? Why bomb all universities? Why destroy the water treatment plant? why salinate the lands? Why desecrate churches? Why target all doctors? Since you want to discuss with arguments?
@Enthoven_R@franctireurmag Mais quel idiot indecent tu es. Commence par demander à quand une université a Gaza? A quand une librairie? A quand un registre d'archives nationales? A quand un hôpital qui fonctionne? A quand de l'eau potable? A quand de l'électricité? Ah oui pardon il ne reste plus rien....
@LaraJBitar I don't understand Lara what's your alternative? Having HA rule Lebanon like they did for 20 years? Is this the vision you have for the Lebanese?
Dear Vice President JD Vance,
@JDVance
I am a Lebanese, and I will say plainly what many avoid to say publicly.
Lebanese Christians do not ask for privilege. They do not ask for domination over others. They do not ask for revenge, partition, or permanent conflict. What they ask for is much simpler and much deeper: the right to survive, to remain rooted in their land, to educate their children, to preserve their faith and culture, and to live under a stable political order that does not leave them permanently exposed to demographic pressure, armed intimidation, economic collapse, and foreign-controlled militias.
Since the creation of Greater Lebanon in 1920, the Christian presence in Lebanon has been reshaped by repeated shocks: the crisis of 1958, the Cairo Agreement of 1969, the civil war beginning in 1975, foreign occupations, regional wars fought on Lebanese soil, the Taif Agreement of 1989, mass emigration, economic destruction after 2019, and the growing feeling that the Lebanese state can no longer guarantee equal citizenship or basic security.
The central question is no longer theoretical. It is existential.
What do Christians want?
They want a state where the army alone carries arms.
They want a judiciary that is independent, not controlled by political parties or armed factions.
They want their deposits, properties, schools, universities, churches, businesses, and municipalities protected by law.
They want real decentralization, allowing communities to manage education, local security, development, taxation, infrastructure, and public services without being held hostage by a paralyzed and corrupt central state.
They want international guarantees that Lebanon will not again be handed over to Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, or any regional power claiming the right to decide its future.
They want a strategic partnership with the United States and the West, not as clients, but as an ancient community that shares the values of freedom of conscience, pluralism, private property, education, and human dignity.
They want a Lebanon where Muslims and Christians can live together freely, but not under the shadow of weapons, intimidation, demographic fear, or ideological domination.
Many Lebanese still believe in coexistence. But coexistence cannot mean slow disappearance. It cannot mean watching young people emigrate every year while political elites repeat empty slogans about unity. It cannot mean asking lebanese to accept insecurity as the price of remaining polite.
If the West wants Christianity to remain present in the Middle East, it must understand that speeches are no longer enough. Christians need institutions. They need guarantees. They need economic recovery. They need local self-government. They need protection from armed non-state actors. They need a political framework that gives them confidence that their children will not be forced to choose between exile and submission.
This is not a message against any community. It is a warning against the disappearance of one of the oldest societies in the world.
Lebanese are not asking America to fight their battles for them. They are asking America to stop legitimizing the structures that made their survival impossible.
They want freedom.
They want security.
They want self-government within a stable constitutional order.
They want a Lebanon that is neutral, sovereign, decentralized, economically free, and protected from foreign domination.
Above all, they want the right to stay.
If the international community waits until the last family leaves, it will not be able to say it did not know.
